I like the concept gun with the mini screen, but the battery pack is kind of lame.
DJ_Izumi:
Dude, does he have dual monitors with dual wheels to allow for arcade style side by side multiplayer?

...That's way cooler than his 'Game Gun'.
vertygo:
Seems to me that once he starts selling them, someone will make an instructable for it.
DJ_Izumi:
So he's doing Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii?

How is he going to accomplish that without some serious hardware development?

Most PS3 FPS games don't support mouse and keyboard so his PC mouse based gamegun would need to convert to DualShock signals.  The same issue for the 360 exists and ALSO, that Microsoft uses some sorta authentication chip on their controllers so only authorized companies can produced third party controllers.  The Wii... Well that's a clusterfuck of it's own.

How is he expecting to put all that into one home brewed box, without having to kitbash a mouse, a DS3, a 360 controller and a Wiimote into one $500 monstrocity?
vertygo:
I'm *thinking* it's because they have usb ports, he assumes it will work. I'm not saying it will, but he probably doesn't even HAVE those consoles right now. Still, even if it's just windows, might be a cool gun.
