Anyone tried this out?

$300 is a bit steep for me without hearing someone else rave about it... I'd also like to know how it would handle things like the new creative wireless headset (2.4ghz) sitting over it.

I think Clint Eastwood used one to steal that plane... but it was a russian version. ;)

It might be fun, but unless I got to demo it, I would not drop $300 on something like this. I remember reading a review on something similar a few years ago. The reviewer indicated the number easily controlable triggers was rather low (3-5), but the tech did work. So $300 for a few extra buttons that you have to learn to use is indeed a bit pricey. I'd give this tech another 5 to 10 years of baking before it becomes solid enough to integrate with detailed brainwave activity. Oh and I am sure the head tracking works, but my monitor doesn't swing around my chair and looking at the wall would make playing tough. :p

Another step towards full retail NIA.

lol@EmoKey(tm) what idiot came up with that name. I especially like how they describe it as a lightweight background utility, then follow up with listing system specs that would make most users cry
