I think the price tag might be a bit too steep.  MS is going to have to somehow lower it a bit if they want to sell to anyone other than hardcore gamers.

If I wanted exercise I'd exercise.

I liked the old Commodore64 joysticks, the kind that did not auto center, or Coleco paddles, or the big trackballs in arcade game cabinets.

Bonk, feeling a bit curmudgeonly this afternoon.

edit: I decided on the bus yesterday that I do need more exercise, so maybe one of these or a wii is not such a bad idea after all, but I really do prefer outdoor exercise, the real thing.

Just be careful with the wii. Here is a site that deals with wii related injuries.
