It tells you that you can use it up to 30 feet away, but my sons found out you can be in another room and activate it, you can be around corners and so on..it has a super strong signal! :D

Your mileage may vary, but I have a friend who lives about 1/4 mile away from me and I took my controller with me while my game was on pause at my place. I got about half way to where he lives before my signal went out, so I'd say at best you could get up to 1/8th of a mile... don't know why you would want to though.

Officially - 30 feet. But it uses a 2.4 GHZ wireless signal so it is the same as many portable phones or wireless networks in strength and just like them performance varies with distance and interference. It should easily go 75 feet in most circumstances, beyond that I doubt you can still see the TV. :-) No line of sight needed for the controller, but that sure makes it hard to play Halo 3.
