Extended Range Wireless Sensor Bar
SCORE: 82
Memorex is bringing new concepts to the video game peripheral world.
The Extended Range Wireless Sensor Bar is a classic example of this
truth. This wireless sensor bar for the Wii perplexed the WMG. Memorex
has charging stations, yet the Extended Range Wireless Sensor Bar
requires batteries. Not sure why this could not have been powered
through a charge like the controllers. It has an on and off switch, as
well as a sleep button. We will be coming back to that on and off switch
my friends.
The sleek black look to the Extended Range Wireless Sensor Bar is really
cool. This unit has a curved look to it that appeals to the WMG. The two
levels to the Extended Range Wireless Sensor Bar take a little getting
used to. In fact the WMG kept expecting this piece of hardware to fall
over. Thankfully it did not unless pressure is applied to the top front
portion.
Extended Range Wireless Sensor Bar has two textures to it. There is the
slick part of the sensor part, and there is the black plastic portion
that is the rest of the unit. The sleep button is easy to feel, as well
as the on off switch. The Extended Range Wireless Sensor Bar is heavier
than the WMG was expecting, but it does spend most of its time sitting
on the top of a television. Yes the WMG recommends only putting this
unit on the top.
The WMG finds the Extended Range Wireless Sensor Bar to be very durable.
Pressing on this unit in various areas can create a creaking sounds.
Someone would have to work to break the Extended Range Wireless Sensor
Bar. Drop tests proved the durability of this piece of plastic. The
sensor bar can be wiped clean easily when it gets dirty.
The WMG would turn on the Wii, walk over to the couch, sit down, and
press the 'A' button on the Wii Remote. No little hand. Where is the
little hand? Oh yes, the Extended Range Wireless Sensor Bar has to be
turned on. So the WMG got back up and turned it on. For some reason this
reviewer could not wrap around turning on the sensor bar. The issue of
batteries also makes the WMG question the usefulness of the Extended
Range Wireless Sensor Bar. After all the wires behind the television set
are never a problem.
Speaking of wires, the WMG does need to acknowledge the more wires back
there, the more tangled they become. Somehow straight lines twist around
one another. The Extended Range Wireless Sensor Bar will help you get
some exercise by getting up to turn the sensor bar on. The other option
is you are trained to turn it on. Either way additional calories are
burned.
