TV ping pong game with motion-sensing paddle

Can't wait for the Nintendo Revolution's fancy motion-sensing control? For just $14.77 and about 20% of your personal gaming dignity, you can experience motion-sensing gaming here and now with this "TV Ping Pong Game" that includes a motion-sensing paddle that "senses your hand motions and sends the resulting shot back to your TV opponent."

And if the game doesn't work? Hey, you've still got a paddle.

have had one for.. 2 years or something like that now, and they arent all that good to be honest. all you need to do is swing, no need to aim or anything more "high-tech".

Yeah I have seen this sold by street vendors for a year now along with those joypad with multiple NES games in it. Nothing special about it. At all.

This is getting ridicilous. :P Are you going to post every thing that has any feature Revolution will have?

Yep, I was gonna say this has been available for a couple of years now. There's also a boxing game.

It's fun to play for maybe 5-10 minutes.

"It's fun to play for maybe 5-10 minutes."

...Just like the Revolution will be ;)

I remember seeing some random guy in the mall playing with one of the demos at a kiosk. He was literally smacking the TV screen with the paddle. The employees were yelling at him to stop, be he seemed too facinated to quit. He looked like he was probably some sort of middle-manager type. Big surprise.
