Lightsaber wannabe for the Wii

If the Lucas empire and its legion of trademark attorneys get all hissy about this latest Wii attachment, they have only themselves to blame for not making it first. The "Wii Light Sword" is coming out in time for the long-awaited Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Although the game isn't expected until the spring, U.K.-based Play.com has jumped the gun--or the sword, as it were--and will unsheathe its luminescent weapon for shipment soon at about $31, according to Coolest-Gadgets. This saber-like remote accessory gets its intergalactic glow from 22 LEDs but can be dimmed if necessary to conserve energy for marathon battles. And that's probably a good thing, because you'll have a lot of time to play with it on Saturday nights.

no longer witty

Can't you Crave people come up with something clever to say about these
products that doesn't include denigrating the people who want them? It was
funny the first several hundred times, but it's getting old.

Totally Sweet

Admit it since you first saw Star Wars you wanted a lightsaber and since you first played a Star Wars game you wished you could use a lightsaber to play. So here is a chance to be the mega-geek you have denied, all day Saturday, remembering to save in time to shower for you hot date. May the force be with you...
