FritzWhite:
Thought this was cool enough to give it its own topic. I'm looking forward to gaming with one of these.

Yeah hopefully the would make consiole adapters, as I just can't see myself turning PC gamer. ;D

Ditto
Arseen:
Ofcourse the movement could be achieved with Eyetoy/PS3/Kinect camera only too, as in walking on place with camera registering the movement...

I don't know, walking in place wouldn't quite be the same. Maybe someone could make a poor man's version of the Omni with the Nintendo Powerpad :D
As excited as I am about the new technology, I think I'd wait until it's been out for awhile to let them work the bugs out before plunking down $400+. Plus, I don't have a gaming PC, though after the XboxOne unveil I'm tempted to go that route.
