Forty. Dollars. For a pathetic unnecessary plastic peripheral for a pathetic unnecessary plastic peripheral. Well done Sony, I'd rather have that than a decent PS Vita Resistance game.

Looks like Batman's personal pleasuring batarang...I mean 'advanced batarang', not that I'd know. That's more up noccutius' alley, as it were.

And how exactly do you know how Batman's personal pleasuring batarang looks like? :)

About the wheel, I don't know why are all of you so completely negative about it, this actually makes driving games feasible on their system. It might be a bit expensive but you can easily see that they actually put some thought into this, it's doesn't seem to be a useless cash grab.

Yet if you bought one, nocc your son might come to you in ten years' time and wonder what insanity he'd been born into if he came across it using only his hand to motion-control objects on-screen (if indeed there is a screen).
As for the batarang - call it existentialist creative thinking:)

I prefer actual racing wheel peripherals.

THIS is a racing wheel: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/promotions/devices/g27-racing-wheel

One nice wheel, Jonah. What bothers me, being the owner of a Logitech MX518 and 3D Pro Joytick are the number of games that have issues with Logitech peripherals (the latest of course being "Ghost Recon: Future Soldier" but including flight simulators). I don't know if it's the same for driving wheels, but I would have thought Logitech is at the top of the list for supporting peripherals, along with Saitek (another that has loads of issues) particularly for simulators. Thrustmaster seems the most supported, and the most expensive for some reason.

A proper racing wheel is obviously going to be better but this is a Move peripheral, it's as good as it's gonna get on that system.

Let me put it this way, it's still better than Kinect :)

....or a punch to the face. I wouldn't want any of the three.

Well,it looks better than the Wii wheel in any case,nice futuristic design.
Great alternative if you don't have a table to use an old school Mad Catz !
