But most important of all, whats the controller like, does it have about 12 buttons or is it straight forward like the old nintendo's - i hate those damn playstation controllers.

Might get one after Xmas.
Enjoy!
Cheers

I can tell you now, it's about the size of 3 standard DVD cases together.

The controller is pretty simple, its'd like a remote control, with two "main" buttons, the big A button and the B button (underneath like a trigger). Above the A it has a D pad, below is a home button, a + and a - button. and below that are a 1 + 2 button for use when holding the controller sideways.

The additional "nunchuck" attachment (only needed for some games) has a joystick and 2 buttons.
