Biggest controller ever!!

Sat Mar 15, 2003 1:14 pm

I was watching a show on television this morninig, and they were reviewing a game called Steel Battalion.
The game itself looks pretty cool, it's for the Xbox. Graphics looked pretty decent, and the scenario sounds interesting.
The only thing is that the game costs $200!! The game comes with this monster controller that needs to sit on a small table and also has foot pedals. :o

Here is a link to a review, with a pic of the controller:

A little pricey, although the controller looks cool, I hear trying to learn the controls is like learning to fly a helicopter. The thing even has windshield wipers............

Personally, when I get some free cash, I want to get one of those and get the XBox PC driver to work with it. Playing MW4 with that thing would be a kick :D

Looks cool, but I stopped spending money on consoles a long time ago.

Yes it does look cool, but I don't have a practical use for it.
