never had a single issue with mine whatsoever.
fact of the matter is if it broke today I wouldn't play the game till I got a new one, and the new one would be overnighted.
I guess if you dont want to / cant spend the money on it and have never had a chance to use it and get used to it, its easy to talk down about it and call it a waste of money.
but I dont think anyone who has been using it for any length of time will tell you they regret the purchase.. and those are the people you need to listen to, because hey, they have more experience with it than going to the website and seeing the price, and *gasp* actually know what they are talking about.
BUT!
to steer this back on topic..
I wonder if the "hi! im your headrest!" problem will be any better with the new model.
