150$..quite a premium for an emerging technoogy that barely proved itself with reports from kotaku showing lagginess lack of support for core games and alot of cloak-and-dagger reports that developements like project milo were swepped under the rug.

Wow, $150 is too much don't you think? You can buy another Xbox 360 with that money... I'm interested, but you know what, i'll wait for sales or maybe clearance, lol.

I was going to get this until I heard the price a couple weeks ago. Plus I rather wait for a smaller or cheaper version because you know they will make a smaller version device. That price is way too much and the economy is not in good shape to fork over $150 just for something that I can do on my Nintendo Wii balance board.

If it cost between $65-$90 then I might be interested but honestly this is more for kids or fat kids to get off the couch. Us real gamers are not going to put down our joysticks for this device to play games like Halo, Modern Warfare, Call of Duty, etc., because it will never be active or fast response time of what a joystick can do.
