I saw an article about it in Computer Gaming World a while ago.  I think they said that it was surprisingly comfortable and functional.  However, it looks more like an exercise machine to me than a comfortable way to play games.  Either way it will probably be an eyesore that is too expensive to be practical.

I've seen something similar at a sex shop overseas. It looked safer than this. It had at least 7 seat/arm/head/leg belts. this one look like you could fall out of it. Wait.....this is for video games. Nevermind. :-*

I agree,  I'm pretty sure that you would need a spotter for this unit.  It is an interesting idea but it looks like it would cost an aweful lot of money (I didn't explore the site for a price).
The Flight Yoke Release date is September 10, 2005.

The navis is $4,395 + S&H for the base unit (they offer bunch of upgrades), and the Mayfly is $1,675.

....OMG. I can't believe that this even exists.

I remember thinking how cool a "rumble seat" gaming chair was (sub woofer in the tush area) back in the early 90's.

but....this this is just so odd....and way too expensive!

 ???
Seriously. Will it fit in my basement or what?
