Winxen Game Chair

This one actually is more fun than it sounds like. The device basically is a rumbling chair with some extra speakers, so a player can feel vibrations and sounds with their whole body.


I don't know how it works in shoot'em up games, but I toyed with some racing games and the overall result was actually feeling pretty much as in a real car. The question remains how much it costs and where to put it in a small apartment, but the product seems aimed at gaming freaks wanting more real sensations and having too much money to spend (on a driving wheel for their PC, for example).


I wouldn't be my usual annoying self if I didn't point out two funny things on product's webpage. One minor mistake is Palystation2 and that's not even that important, but "Force Feedback - Using Gender" sounds a little suspicious. Maybe some hentai games will be able to provide force feedback depending on player's gender? Then I might actually buy the damn thing...
