I personally don't see what the big deal is with BC, sure you have an extra box under the TV but the "It has to many wires" excuse doesn't fly with me, its only 1 extra cable seeing as you can plug your PS3 aerial into your PS2 all you need is the plug.

As for the control not being wireless, personally I prefer wired controllers as my PS3 pad frequently gets lost amid my room of mess, the wire (to which I have a fantastic extension cable which only cost me a meer 2.49) is a life saver cause all I have to do is find a bit of the cable and BAM I have my controller, coupled with the fact I like my rumble lol.
