I think we should see 360 pens sooner with a 33% failure rate!!!!
Jonah Falcon @ Sep 8th 2007 12:10AM
The Wii Pen straps break and stab you in the eye.
SuMtOnE @ Sep 8th 2007 12:12AM

JanJan @ Sep 8th 2007 12:12AM
Unless my eyes deceive me, that's made from recycled PS2 plastic.

Your eyes...and your brain deceived you. ;)

I can see people standing in line for the first "PS3" pens for a week. Then you will be able to find them in every store, not moving at all.
el tonot @ Sep 8th 2007 12:43AM
For like a month and a half for me in Atlanta. Everyone was sold out until like a day or 2 after X-mas.
HineyWipe @ Sep 8th 2007 1:00AM
Ha! Good ones!
360 Pen: need a LIVE account Gold to use
To add ink, buy 400 MS Points.
Teachers get free RedRoD Ink.
Pen warranty extended for 3 yrs on the Red ink.
playwhutyalike @ Sep 8th 2007 1:03AM
If it was a Wii pen everybody would bash on how technically inferior the ink is. You can play tennis with it though.
Rawtoonz @ Sep 8th 2007 5:11AM
wii ink will not make straight lines
Kye @ Sep 8th 2007 6:20AM
Yea! Finally, a good use for the PS2.
I kid, I kid.
I.P. Freely @ Sep 8th 2007 9:42AM
Wonder how large the 360 ink brick is?
Namssorg @ Sep 9th 2007 3:50PM
Cool, now we can throw the pens away instead. Nothing better for filling up a landfill than -inky- plastic!
jimy @ Sep 8th 2007 10:40AM
PS3 pens would be so expensive.
gcpolsen @ Sep 8th 2007 2:18PM
Anyone find it ironic that they would use recyclable materials to make something that people don't think twice about tossing in the garbage? Why don't they use it to make more recyclable items?
Ialwayschangemyname @ Sep 8th 2007 2:18PM
Sony will probably consider this to their ps2 sales. Every pen counts as one ps2 right???
Spirit @ Sep 8th 2007 2:27PM
The pen from Wii recycled plastic would be very cheap, and fun to use. After using the Wii pen for a couple hours, you realize its not practical at all, and can't write down things well.
The pen from PS3 recycled plastic would be very expensive, but would be said to be able to write things more advanced then any other pen. It only has 2 different good cartridges.
The pen fron XBOX 360 recycled plastic would be a great pen at a moderate price. It would be able to use a great selection of cartridges. Sadly, after writing 10 pages worth of writing, the pen breaks. To use it on your friends paper, you must pay $50 a year.

Everyone will own a Wii pen, but get tired of it after about a week, it'll sit on the desk and collect dust, and everyone will go back and write with a mechanical pencil.
Anthony @ Sep 8th 2007 4:55PM
where can i buy one of these?
Dig @ Sep 8th 2007 5:08PM
If they made a DS pen, it would have a smaller pen inside it that you would have to pull out and use.
F1 @ Sep 8th 2007 5:24PM
PS3 pens would probably have special "Six-inks" tech that changes your pens ink color but is hard to control.
rdj75 @ Sep 8th 2007 6:26PM
That was pretty funny I thought, but you should have said "inks-axis"
Jamesology @ Sep 8th 2007 9:34PM
LMAO... it's funny cuz all these qoutes are true.... LMAO Wii, PS3, and 360. LMAO
Jonny @ Sep 9th 2007 12:05AM
If they made an NES pen you'd have to blow into it to get the ink to work.
Jamesology @ Sep 9th 2007 3:07AM
If you think about it, this thread is like a friendly version of Fanboism.
McNinja @ Sep 9th 2007 8:12AM
Come on everyone knows a Wii pen is just 2 ordinary pens duct-taped together
TehGwan @ Sep 9th 2007 8:28PM
I really, really want a DS stylus made out of recycled PS2 or PS3 plastic.
