I found this pretty neat. Its a gaming vest for games, :p that allows you feel bullets punches and kicks when playing your favourite games. :)

I heard on my news its $189.99.

It looks pretty sweet, but I don't know how often I'd use it.

That's a pretty cool idea!

It's a little expensive... but it could be lots of fun. It depends on what kind of game support they get though since it's not like you can plug it in and go play any 'ol game and have it work fine.

It could really be a huge advantage in games though since one of the worst parts about being shot in a game is the confusion. Someone gets the jump on you and you have no idea where they are. This would let you get hit and know approximately where they are at / where they are shooting from so you can quickly get behind cover or fire back.

No; I play games because I don't want to be shot :P

+10, because it is a neat idea. But why is the image of the vest on that page a blurry picture of a traffic cop uniform? Not exactly an appealing design for the vest :P

Seems like this would have a good application in tactical simulation for swat/military training, though.

I think this would be pretty funny in some kind of lan party game.
Friends could make this hilarious.
