    Screw that. Pay me whatever that thing costs and I'll be glad to punch/stab/shoot you while you play your games.

    what happens if you get shot in the face????? you won't have a pad there so it won't be very good. why not a full body suit???? that way if you get hit by a frag you will really know it.

    They should make a sudden death mode. 240v AC .. shock yourself to death then revive yourself back haha

    Reminds me of those TV infomercials that work out your muscles using electric shock

    $150, not bad, says you can adjust shock levels, 5pads I guess you could mount them anywhere, depending on the game. Same as the muscle toning equip. so you can cut up your abs at the same time.

    It`s a dumb idea. Pair this with some very strong emotions and you get either a heart attack or psychic damages .
    Or worse, death.
    You play games for fun, not to replace reality and feel pain .Emotions that the game send are enough.
    DUMB IDEA.

    It looks pretty cool but if I wanted realism in a game I'd go out and actually do the thing.

    LOL shall I buy you one and post it Snowsurfer?

    Oh man! I had one of those! Those were weird...

    Sites not working, but from the posts it sounds like some kind of force (electrical specifically) feedback thing. I remember those rumble vests for the SNES. Have one sitting in my basement, forgot what it was called...
