All I can say is I'm in shock something hasn't happened sooner. :)<br /><br />There is nothing better than having a bartering tool. The best part is if the controllers ever "disappear" for an extended period of time, for whatever reason that may be, the kids still have a visual of what they can't do until they "return".
