Absolutely awesome. Opens for storage and is a fully functional controller. Even includes step-by-step on how to build your own. I\'d still give the edge of "greatest home video game project ever" to the PexBox, but this is a close second.

wow! great find, atariharikari! the only question is, if it could handle it, would you actually get on top of it and run in place, Power-Pad style? i think you would!

I\'m not saying it\'s not cool, it\'s just really really geeky. Like it\'s cool for us to go "wow, that\'s awesome!" when it\'s a video on youtube, but if you walked into someones house and they actually had one? nerd.

it\'s like a cheap ghetto imatation of the peckbox. Peckbox kicks ass, but this thing is just silly.

it would be funny to see someone running on it though! :thumbsup:

I can see what you\'re saying there. Although this thing likely took just as much intense woodworking, painting, and electrical engineering craftsmanship as the PexBox... all that work resulted in something maybe 20% as useful or cool as the PexBox. Pex gets the square.
