I've been kicking that around since I have a 27" CRT it seems silly not to take advantage of it.  Cost is an issue for me though.  Too bad they don't make those anymore.

Whatever became of those 'sonic' guns that used sound instead of IR for tracking?  I believe it was David Foley who first advertised those being under development a few years ago.  Seemed like a much better solution than IR and being forced to stand 6 feet away from the screen.  I know he's been 'busy' but I'm surprised no one else has come up with a similar solution.

Distance problem with IR guns is solved with a 90 cent wide angle lens.

You can spend more but it won't play any better.

Do you have the Top Gun 3?  I've looked at it on Amazon but the reviews are mixed.  It also appears to be IR.  If you have one I am curious what you think.
