That video is messed up. I hope we don't have to do that if and when it comes out.

Wait, so the 'games' you play on that thing are based on what is around you  ??? That sounds incredibly retarded.

That looks ridiculous.
It'll never sell, if it's ever released, that is.

wow...... that fails.... part of it is a good idea, but the part where you have to run around in real life makes it fail

Looks interesting, but it'll only really be practical in ARGs.

That'd be cool, except when you can't go anywhere.

What games could this thing even have? It's more like a map and you do the things in real life. Do they expect me to shoot people in FPSs?

I bet you could just keep turning around.  I wonder, does it have buttons?  Or just touch screen?  Cause you could keep turning around, then use a side D-pad to move and a button to shoot.

All of it's buttons are touch sensitive.

Sounds? Imagine how you'll LOOK playing that in public. That's a serious lolfest right there.

Imagine you actually kiss that princess. And it's really just a random person on the street. :D I'm guessing you wear sensors to tell the system where you are going?

"I can already see kids running out into traffic with these things..."

"I can't wait to use this while I'm driving."

I love the comments. :D

Freakin' worst idea ever. Imagine, you're walking in the street when suddenly a kid with his face raping a screen plows into you and doesn't even give it a thought.

Looks like a rip-off of the DS and the PSP.

I seriously lol'd, if this catches on we'll have a huge amount of ppl running around like crazy on the streets and it will be soon banned in a few states :D

But I like the overall concept, sounds awesome.  Expensive though...or maybe this video was just metaphorical and nothing else?  Maybe that's not what the thing does at all?  idk.

Kind of a prototype. It may never be released.

Looks confusing.

I'm gonna laugh if some 16 year old kid is playing it, and it read some grandpa as a princess or something and he goes and kisses him.  Rofl.q
