I would never trust infrared buzzers. How often do you have to point a remote and push the button a second time 'cuz the first push didn't take?

I'm mainly talking about the unit itself, rather than the buzzers. It holds all the questions, keeps score, and could run a speed round without having to worry about passing out play money and re-flipping sand timers in between questions.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't referring to the Jeopardy Remote game.
As for keeping everything in one host's unit, I personally think that would take a lot of the fun out of the game. A big part of collecting game show board games, at least for me, is the visceral thrill of the various components, in using them to play the game, and in a lot of cases, just how well they're made.
And in case, you're not paying attention, which it seems to me you're not, the Crown-and-Andrews-produced Sale games have never contained play money. They rely on the game board to keep in-round score, and on the cards to track the player's loot totals. Quite practical, and rather elegant if I do say so myself...one of the reason I keep using them at the Game Show Congress.
