No, they developed a worthless attempt at subliminal messaging. Let me know when it works so I can buy a lottery ticket.

I believe there is some legislation on the books regarding subliminal messaging -- actually, there are over 1,000 laws regulating subliminal messaging ... so, umm ... yeah, illegal.

Suddenly... have... temptation... to buy... Xtive stock...

@7 If I'm not wrong that company is based in Korea, so all your high and mighty squabble about US law is trash. I'm sure they're not planning to implement that system in America because HERE it is illegal. There is isn't.

This is how the government can get away with doing so many terrible things that people don't like. People want to rise up but just don't for some reason. This is why we need to pass Kucinich's mind control weapons ban.

I don't see the point

Pretty much every serious psychological study in the past 50 years has shown that subliminal messages don't work, and near-subliminal messages are too easily detectable to be considered "mind control"

consume. conform. obey.

There is no such thing as subliminal messaging. Period.

There is NO reputable study that has shown a change in observable human behavior based on a stimulus the concious brain cannot interpret. NONE.

Sounds like these guys are trying to make a quick buck off gullible, lazy, and superstitious parents.

13, you're wrong. Slight changes have been demonstrated. Researchers have found that displaying negative words subliminally can cause people to flash frowns and other "negative" facial expressions for extremely brief intervals, and the same goes for positives words.

So it does have an effect, though it can be argued whether or not that effect is meaningful.

Actually, I'm sure it's "Don't buy one". I've read it on here dozens of times and it's not so subtle.

I made my own choice and bought one and love it. You should too.

If the sound is inaudible (I'm assuming this means "a frequency around the ~20kHz upper cusp of human hearing"), then your $10 onboard sound card and $20 USB-powered desktop speakers aren't going to be able to produce the sound anyway. The gamer will never be subjected to it.

But, money drives invention. This would be far more profitable if game developers utilized this type of thing in their games to keep people playing and paying. Who makes money if people stop playing? Who would pay for this, the Korean government? The company would make far more money working for businesses than the government.
