I think that the big rush on these are starting to fade... But, it's still a great price..
And, you gotta love their useful directions on that site.

I've never heard of this before. Is/was it rare, or just a curiousity?
Egbert, I miss you...
Price: US$ 14.90 AND FREE TISSUE!
Helluva deal!
It is an accessory for use with Rez (PS2). It was originally packaged with the Rez Limited Edition (JP), and was never released commercially in the U.S. For this reason, you'll probably never see it used at a Gamestop. Of course, considering the uses people have come up with for it, maybe you don't want a used one. (Note the washable cloth cover!) Shortly after those pictures were published as part of an article at Gamegirladvance.com, the ebay price on a Rez LE set went through the roof. Prices over $150 weren't uncommon. I haven't looked lately, as I picked one up a few months ago.
It's just vibrates, like your Dual Shock controller, but it's handy for putting in other places. And while it was released with the JP version of Rez, it works perfectly well with the U.S. version of Rez played on a U.S. PS2.
Wasn't davidbrit looking for one of these?

And now they are sold out, as I discovered when I tried to buy one. I already have one, but I was kind of curious about whether you could have two of them running off of a PS2 at the same time. After all, it's got two USB ports. Double the fun, n'est ce pas?

Actually, you can still order one. They're on backorder and should have more in soon. I just backordered one myself

Do you really think that they'll get more? I've heard horror stories (not involving Play-Asia in particular) about things being backordered...FOREVER. Or is that exclusively a Buy-Rite deal?

Lots of the Trances have been printed, and play-asia is a reputable site so far as I've heard. Buy-Rite...that's an entirely different story *shiver* I expect it'll show up
Disturbingly, my order also comes with a free package of tissues...not sure WHAT to think of that....
scooterb: "I once shot a man in Catan, just to watch him die."
Well, I went ahead and (back)ordered a TV. The twin vibe experiment must proceed!
Oh, the tissues are for dabbing a tear from your eye when you ultimately perceive Rez's total awesomeness.
I don't know what yer lady's gonna use 'em for, tho.

Heh. Honestly, Rez is less impressive on the PS2 than it is on the DC. The DC one makes the PS2 version look like a joke, seriously. The only reason I kept my PS2 version is for the Trance
scooterb: "I once shot a man in Catan, just to watch him die."
I've said it before and I'll say it again: You gotta get a pair of force-feedback headphones along with Rez and the Trance Vibrator. First time I saw the game, was in the Kobe Sannomiya center-gai Seiden (electronics retailer). They were demo-ing the game with such headphones. Absolutely killed everyone that I saw try it (including myself). It's a great game alone or with the T.V., but damn if it's not hallucinatory in a dark room with vibrating headphones on.
I've never even SEEN headphones like that. Would love to at least see pics!
scooterb: "I once shot a man in Catan, just to watch him die."
I think these are the ones that he's talking about. Anyway, these are the force feedback ones that came in that Limited Edition Rez set that was sold in Japan, only 1000 copies.
RE: Vibrating headphones -- Holy crap! Now THOSE have got to be rare.
RE: DC ver. of Rez -- M.lords, I've heard that the DC version is better before, but I'm not aware of the details. What makes the DC version better? And what's the fair market price for a copy these days?

Well, honestly, the main thing is that the graphics are FAR more detailed on the DC for some reason. More color, more vibrancy, more textures....it's just stunning! I don't have the PC equipment to do a side by side, but I have both and I had the PS2 one for a while before I got the DC one. Picked up a Euro DC one for $25 (insanely cheap) and my jaw almost dropped when I sat down with it! I can't really explain it but it's MUCH better looking!
As for those headphones.....anyone know where I can get a pair? I'd pay some good heavyduty cash for those!
And figure $40-60 for the DC one.
scooterb: "I once shot a man in Catan, just to watch him die."
At $33.99, not bad...

RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.
IntvGene: Those are exactly the one's I saw them demo-ed with.
Maxlords: I have no clue as to finding a pair of the originals, but you can find vibrating headphones which work for all audio sources through eBay at times. It took some searching, but I found some several months ago.
Nah, I'd HAVE to have the Rez ones....I don't want generic ones...I want wicked cool ones that say Rez since Sega made official ones!
scooterb: "I once shot a man in Catan, just to watch him die."
Well, you better track down one of those special sets. I've lost two Yahoo Japan auctions for them.. both went over $200. They're definitely tough to get a hold of since Sega only made 500 units. And, as you know Rez has quite a following.
Here is that guy's page that shows what came with the set. It's in Japanese, but you can still just click on the links and see the pictures.
