This post is probably better suited to the proto forum, but I'm not SURE what I have is a proto, so....
About a year ago, I was sent an evaluation unit of a snowboard-shaped controller called the "Big Air," to be released by Sylvania (?!) for the PS1 and PS2. The developer of the Big Air had previously produced the Catapult Snowboard Controller for the PC, which can be seen at http://www.soulride.com/products/catapult.html. The Big Air looks virtually identical to the Catapult, except it has a "Big Air" logo on the board.
The PR firm that sent me the board isn't around anymore, and I don't know a soul at Sylvania, so I ask all y'all: have you seen or purchased the Big Air? I've never seen it in stores or online, but I'm hesitant to shout "WOOT!" and mount it on the wall next to the moose-head until I know it's a gin-u-wine peripheral prototype.
