Virtual Reality/ Revolution

[jamcountry]

hi! this is my first post! just wanna say hi and share my views at the same time i was reading an article and it stated that Nintendo is releasing a virtual reality gadget that would be compatible with Revolution. It sounds cool but will it not make Revolution expensive contrary to Nintendo's strategy of keeping the prices low?

oh, i thought this would be a thread discussing virtual reality.
Anyways, the device is probably still far off so in todays terms it would be expensive butg by that time the components will have become cheaper and more reliable. I would estimate that the first of such devices, from anyone, not just nintendo will probably come out in 10 years on the full scale market but there are prototypes out there already. I cant find the link, but there is a virtual movie theater being built and tested somewhere that will put you in the middle of a movie, on all 360^2 sides

This belongs in Games.

I for one don't think this is a 100% done deal, since the source is secret and could just be made up. However it is doable I think. Even if so it would probably be a peripheral and only used in a few games. (like the Game Cube drum set)

a virtual reality theater?! wow thats awesome! with lots of rumors over the net on Revo, they'd better get the best deal of games on it to get sales. and besides, video games are prescribed as medicines
