I'll consider it when they make a game in which you repeatedly bash people that piss you off over the head with a skateboard.

"gamers concerned about blowing a bunch of money on the package should see it as an investment"

What kind of investment can you get with this piece of plastic, talk about bull sh*t. Besides playing games that are based on boards( skate, surf, boogie, chalk) its pretty difficult thinking of other uses for this "device"

Love your game idea Reaper man, i would buy it :)

It would be so nice to wake up tomorrow to news that Activision was forced to shut down because people woke up and stopped buying their games.

They should also worn consumers not to purchase initial shipments of the game. Because you know, Activision.

The problem is that the device is futile. Too expensive and inconvenient for PS360 owners, and redundant for Wii owners (aside from also being too damn expensive there, too)

Natal will make it even more redundant

I love the policy of adding some plastic doo-hicky so that people buy more expensive stuff than usual. It may have worked the first time as an unseen novelty, speaking as a great fan of guitar hero/rock band, but this looks like it's going too far.

Besides, I remember getting a skateboard add-on for the PS2, and used the same kind of technology. I remember it being absolute rubbish. That's probably why I I'm not so confident about this.

It was pretty hilarious to watch Tony come out with that board then a few minutes later see Microsoft basically say "Alright and now here's this awesome device that makes Tony Hawk Ride obsolete".

Then again, at least people can buy Ride sometime soon. Lord know when Natal will launch.

If it was possible I would write checks directly made out to the developers of Modern Warfare 2.

I'm seriously torn on how the hell I'm going to get my hands on MW2 and SC2 with out giving Activision a cent.

You could buy it from gamestop, but actually, I'm not too sure that's much better.

You could get it used on ebay?

Yeah I definitely see a lot of lawsuits in the future. I mean if people can barely hold on to their Wii-motes, there's no WAY they'll stay on a 10-inch wide skate board.

Of course people who actually blow money on those repeat peripheral purchases are suckers. I'm still on my X-plorer guitar from Guitar Hero II and still get plenty of good mileage out of it.

I think the operative word in that quote is CAN. It's a controller, so it CAN be used to play a lot of games, just like the Dance Dance Revolution mat can of sorts be used with other games (I tried it with Pac-Man; it works, but I don't recommend it).
Whether they'll deliver on games that actually make good use of the peripheral, only time will tell.
