Get a workout while gaming! (Not what you might think)

Kilowatt (http://www.powergridfitness.com/store/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=561&catID=2)

This looks to be a huge joystick that you have to press your whole body against to play your games. It hooks up to your Xbox, PS2, GC, PC, etc. From the video, it appears the stick provides a nice little isometric resistance that would make a person pretty tired after just a couple of minutes. The video shows some random guys playing a game with it. I doubt the Kilowatt would make one look like the dude from the Bowflex commercials after playing it for an extended period of time, but it looks possible to develop some nice core strength!

Sure its gimmicky--that's what makes it so cool! If I had the cash to burn, I'd buy it just for the unique factor.

LOL I was picturing a 6 ft. tall atari joystick with someone pushing against it like a sled in football practice...

Looks kinda cool, but I dont see it ever catching on really

Reminds me of the huge-ass joysticks from the movie Joysticks. What game were they playing? Was it Satan's Hollow?
