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

the are already a plethora of those though.. programmable media controllers with lcd screens are common.

yes but they are not inclusive of also for game controller's due to the fact their not designed like a standard game controller is.

this design would allow you to instead of using one of those type's you would have a game controller type physical controller with this lcd device that would allow you to control all your device's. its a somewhat nich design is mainly targeted toward gamer's but I could see how this would cut down on the number of control device's a gamer would need.

use that Microsoft game control shell to control. your

PS3 ,xvox360,tv, dvr etc..all from that same gamer centric controller.
