    Same with the DDR pads. While they aren't quite as cool as the ones on the arcade machine, they also don't cost thousands of dollars. I've used them on occasion, and they work pretty good. Even for people who are serious about DDR. Maybe if you're one of those tournament DDR players these things don't cut it. But for how use, they do the job just fine.

    #2 the Arcade Mx body force. They say it was only demonstrated at CES.
    yes lets make a top xyz list of silly ideas and mention items that weren't ever sold? wtf. Companies are allowed to experiment, granted it should have been obvious on paper it wouldn't work.

    These top 10 (or 7 or 8..) lists always seem to make stretches so they can have content.
