Thrustmaster Glow Saber Duo Pack NW is I4U Top 100 Gift Tip #34

The Nintendo Wii is certainly going to be one of the hottest gifts this holiday season and odds are you won’t be able to find one this year to buy. If you do find a Wii or already have, one and you have a Star Wars fan that plays Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Thrustmaster has the perfect accessory for you.

The Thrustmaster Glow Saber Duo Pack NW is a pair of Wii accessories designed to hold the Wiimotes inside the handle of the sabers. The glowing blades have 17 LEDs inside that are powered by three AA batteries. When turned on one saber glows red and one glows blue.

The effect from the glowing blade is very impressive and these are one of the coolest accessories I have ever seen. Star Wars fans will be very impressed, and they don't even cost that much. The downside is that they really add nothing but a cool factor to gameplay.

For Whom:

This is the perfect accessory for the Wii owner who is also a Star Wars fan. If Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is on your list of gifts to buy this year, add these light sabers to your list as well.

The Good:

• Way cool
• Well built
• Fun to use

The Bad:

• Batteries will need replaced
• Adds nothing but some cool to your gameplay

Where to buy:
