I'm pretty sure posting stories is legal here right?? (now that i now blogs are illegal, even tho this is the only way i see to get ppl to read the blogs here)

So here is the thing, $300 just for that headset thing...i would say is a good deal. Just think of all the possibilities

Remember to close the bracket on the first '[url]' of the link you provided

Anyway, yeah, it's a good deal when you think about it, but I reckon it's too gimmicky in the eyes of the public... may not take off for ages yet...

Last I checked, which was about a year and a half ago, paralyzed patients were using this technology to control a mouse on a computer... and it was not at all accurate. They could get the mouse to move in the direction they wanted, but how far would vary every time. I have an EXTREMELY hard time believing this technology will be used for gaming purposes in the next 10 years, let alone the end of this year. If they do indeed release it, please PLEASE read reviews as i'm fully expect this thing to go the way of the Virtual Boy.

Oh, by the way. A couple years ago, about a year after xbox1 was released, they said they were producing a controller that was controlled by your thoughts... just as this was. It was never past the first prototype though because they couldn't get it to be accurate what-so-ever.
