    What games support this? Though the last paragraph about its functions sounds nice. Could be a bitch to actually use though.


    Ah I know I won't be able to afford this anyway.

    Is this just another accelerometer mouse? Those things are god awful to use. I already use a wiimote to control my media computer through point and click (which works very well, btw), but relying on an accelerometer alone like other "air mice" just doesn't work if you want any sort of precision.

    Very sexy system. I'd get this for a living room PC for the family....although it's nearly too sexy to let them get their grubby hands on XD


    Lenovo are a quality brand too. They were the first to get 1080p on a 22" and that monitor is supposed to be all kinds of awesome. I wonder if this is capable of the same.

    Very attractive design, but I kind of wonder about the standardization of PC motion controllers.

    I like this, I don't want to be limited with motion games. I feel like they have a lot of growing up to do , which they could do if they had the right environment. Hopefully this is the start to build that.

    @RazorandBlade: Hopefully. Metroid Prime did a good job of making use of motion cotrols past being a gimmick. This would make wii-sys worth downloading.

    @Kira773: Wii emulation is a long way off but there are a couple of mods that make use of the wiimote. Wii-sis is the mod for Crysis that does just that.

    you can upgrade to a 1GB dx10 Ati graphics card. I guess they mean the 4870.

    @Greg Rassam: Could also mean the 4850 but either way that would be a decent card to have in a system like that. I don't think I'd go out and buy it for gaming though.

    Motion control hasn't been done well enough to be even considered in most genres of games...

    @RawSteelUT: How? The mtion control in Metroid Prime was really well done and the best example of motion control I've seen. It's come the closest to the control of PC FPS games that any console game has managed.


    P.S.I'm a PC gamer and I don't own a Wii, this is an honest, non-biased opinion.

    @cjcamilla: You'll love them if they have touch screen capability come Windows 7. I actually plan to get a 30 inch touch screen monitor once those hit the market. Surface and multi-touch tech on the desktop is going to me awesome and I'm dying to see how it'll be used with games.
