Hi guys, I just bought myself a couple of transceivers from sure electronics, they cost around about $20 including postage for two of them.

http://www.digital-diy.com has a great example of how to use these devices utilising the onboard USART of the pic microcontroller.

Basically I will be able to transmit and receive data between two pics which will be great for two player games. We'll see how it goes :)

Cheap as chips!

They are pretty much configured out of the box - the only real catch was pulling SETFREQ high (that and an example transmit/receive program can be found in the above link)

It would have been great if the antennas were able to be folded up/down. But I look forward to working with them nonetheless!
