yeah.... I still dont get it. lol

i mean.....why? dont all consoles come with a free controller, which i am guessing will have far superior ergonomics than this could ever have?

strange one.

well if you think of it as this pertain's to a lcd screen, that connect's to a controller itself , in other word's a hand crontroller say designed based on the xbox360 is only rumble function with trigger's, and a whole where this little LCD SCREEN CAN CONNECT TO. VIA MINI USB

that way, you could have . the consumer pick's up the physical crontroller he like's best but connect's this device to the controller.!

hmmm.. ok.  that i like... so now I could perhaps use the 360 controller on the PS3.  that would be useful... ish.

not just that, but think about it could even interface with any topset box that you own and allow you to control any of those devices, so instead of needing one controller for each device this would allow the say, Microsoft to make a base shell controller that has IR, and Bluetooth function in the shell controller , but allow this screen to make the conncetion to any of the other devices that you may have as a consumer.
