Sony's latest toy

(Taking a break from raving about Noir for a moment...)

Okay, the Playstation 3 has never really interested me at all. But this new motion capture thing they've got going looks pretty interesting.

I've played on my friend's Wii a few times, and it's fun and all, but I've found that the thing can't keep up with me. In Wii Boxing the on-screen character throws one punch to my three. It might have been a long time since martial arts, but I still have a fast jab... too fast for the Wii to follow, apparently. This seems like it might do a better job of actually tracking how I move.

(Oh, who am I kidding? I still use an original-flavor X-Box. I'm not about to drop five large on a PS3.)

Just a random neat thing I felt like sharing before I headed off to work.

Holy shit! That's awesome!

Granted, I don't own a Playstation 3(I'm a PC gamer myself) but that still looks insanely cool.

I know! I've always liked video games that let you perform the motions of what you were doing in the game (at arcades I'd always gravitate towards the games with light guns to work on my aim) so this would be just the sort of thing I'd enjoy.

I've mostly been a PC gamer (or even a Mac gamer, back in the long, long ago... Marathon rules!) but consoles are great for when you have friends over. Setting up a LAN part is kind of a hassle.
