Gameing vest is on the market
I saw this on the news tonight and decided to look it up!
Sounds great for gamers with extra moola!


FPS gaming vest

I know this is old, I remember seeing previews of it a while ago, but Thinkgeek are now selling them (under "computer accessories", heh) and the description of what it does is just so FREAKY.
Eight pneumatic impact hammers stitched into the vest pound you where you were hit - four front and four back - giving you the authentic (though less bloody) feel of the hit. Wearing the vest makes you feel more like you're in the game, and could even improve your gamerscore!
This review!

ThinkGeeks $134

I saw this a while back. Look pretty cool. It is a must have for the uber geek gamer.

I think I would prefer the old method of just dying gracefully when someone has the drop on you, rather than having my vest shake as someone shoots me several times in the back.

It would be difficult to explain the well placed bruises.

MS Crimson Tide with a Logitech 3D Force Feedback Flight stick was kinda cool.
Same with Mech Warrior.

Does the thing actually give you bruises? If so, that's hard core!
