FIFA 08 finally arrived at the weekend and I eagerly inserted the disc into my XBOX 360. Boy, was I disappointed.

Earlier this year I purchased the Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 headset and the Logitech VX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks.

They are both 2.4 GHz wireless products and while I've used wireless for a long time and worked in wireless environments for a number of years, I've never used a wireless product that I came into physical contact with until now. Rest assured I won't be going wireless again.
