Has anyone else seen this yet?



It's a controller peripheral (Xbox 360, PS3) designed to provide comfort and reduce strain during long play sessions.

I saw this briefly during PAX or something last year, but figured it was just a worthless gimmick.  To my surprise, it's still around, and getting fairly positive reviews.

The reason this caught my attention today was this new viral video.

I first saw this here- it shows up at about the 1:12 mark

Don't know how effective it is, but he's a GS monster.

Here's a closer look:

It seems like a product that I would have loved when I was a kid and played games all day long.

However ... today I'm constantly setting my controller down on the arm of my chair or table while playing (answering phone, cooking dinner, etc.).  I imagine the added bulk would make that a little more cumbersome.

There also doesn't seem to be a way to connect a wired mic to the controller, unless I'm missing something.  That's a big NO for me.
