You know what would make gaming even more fun? Pain. Or at least that is what the folks at Mindwire would like you to think. Their new MindwireV5 unit helps you get into the action with sensations ranging from a “crashing car to the blast of a machine gun’s multiple bullets hitting you; a sharp zap all the way through to a soft massaging feeling.” Five self-adhesive pads are connected to the arms, legs and stomach which administer a range of electric shocks that create sensations that mimic in-game action.
The system works with most PS2, Gamecube, and XBox games as well as PC games that support force feedback. Next gen consoles are also supported—in certain configurations (a full list of compatible games is available on the website). So, I’m not sure about all of this electric shock business, but tell me more about this “soft massaging feeling?” The Mindwire is available for £99.99 (or $220).

Yeah would be cool for a little while
Report PermalinkBut $220 is a bit steep to get tortured…and not in a good way
All though it does have that “soft massaging feeling?”.
