OK help out the Forum Villiage Idiot here, please..... WHAT exactly do repeaters DO? Can you give examples how they could be used in the XBLA version and what they can be used to build?
Thank you, I'll be over here rubbing dirt in my hair and talking to lampposts.

Well, first and foremost, they.... repeat!
There's a limit on the length of redstone wiring at 15 blocks. Try laying down some wire and you'll notice that it's brighter closer to the power source and after 15 blocks it's just "off". Repeaters extend this.
Repeaters also add extra ticks to circuits. You can use them as a delay - that's what the left trigger function when aimed at a repeater is.
They also function as diodes (power only "flows" the direction of the arrow).
Repeaters power blocks, as well. Any charge-able block with a repeater pointed at it will be powered. It's slightly different than the way a normal wire would work.
Finally, and this is definitely more helpful in the newer versions, you can use them to make more compact circuits. Redstone "snaps" to the repeaters in later versions. It will "snap" to itself in all versions. So if you need to run two "wires" right next to each other - the only way to do it is by repeater.

Unless you were asking why the wire doesn't snap to the things correctly - that's in a later version.
