That's not true, they sit waving their arms or talking to their Eggbox. That's got to burn more calories than walking to the front door to pick up the paper?

Sure remember the old days of walking to a brick and mortar property to play a game.... Commonly called a REAL friends house. Remember you put on SHOES and COATS....
Fat and lazy, indeed. Add to that anemic.

I have plenty of other concerns about the product itself (in addition to the business concerned mentioned before). But, I do hope they'll prove us wrong.

I have no interest in gimmicks like these. They will however work well in LAN/ arcade environments, but like everything that has come before, it has no place in an ordinary house. Everyone has owned a treadmill, exercise bike at one time in their life and it ends up gathering dust or being sold. This is astronomically priced more than either but is in the same category.
We've owned HOTAS, Wheel and pedal systems but unless your a junkie in a certain genre, these come and go too.
I enjoy 3D gaming, but it hasn't taken off on PC, console or even on home television.

These things need to be realistically priced, for a start. If I had the choice of the oculus rift or a 3D projector and 6-8ft screen. It would be no contest as the projector is more sociable.

everything said there is truth. I would totally not want to use that thing and would rather go outside.
