    Remember that thing that everyone thought would be announced at E3 but never was?
    No... Not Halo 4. It's the Xbox Motion Controller.

    I, Personally was dissapointed when it wasn't announced during E3, but imagine in an alternate Giant Bomb universe this Waggle Wand was coming out tommorow in a box with... Banjo Kazooie?
    Would you buy it?

    I would have to buy it if it happened to have a complete collection, but I won't buy it since it won't be made.

    Nah, motion control is still a bit to gimmicky for me. It would just feel out of place on the 360 for me.

    I highly doubt that I would buy it. I'd imagine that most games would not use it, much less games that I care about.

    Just doesn't seem to add anything significant to games.  Does it make jacking fools better?  No. So who cares?

    No. I was relieved that they didn't announce a motion controller for the 360. If they did, it would split the 360 owners just like the hard drive situation. Can't we have one console on the market that doesn't do any motion-control? I really hope this trend does not catch on to the next generation, or all the next-gen systems will have motion controls mandatory. Instead of developers concentrating on their games, they will also have to be worried about the control scheme even more than usual, which could lead to developers pushing their games out and the control being so ridiculously bad that it won't be playable.

    No... that's not what I want from gaming in general.

    I want games lige MGS 4, GeOW and so forth, not some cute little minigames... I'll leave that to the Wii people.

    Yeah its just a novelty. Most games you play with motion sensing just tend to get annoying, making you want to go back to conventional controllers.

    FYI there is a 360 Wiimote, and its already been shown... so its real.

    Its not like the Wiimote though, its more like the SIXAXIS (they even use the same slogan 'six degrees of freedom'), with the look of the Wiimote (white stick).

    Pretty much the same for me. Motion control is a terrible gimmick, they should invent something fresh.

    If there was games worth playing that used it's functionality and it was 1:1 like the Wii Motion Plus provides then yes, I would buy it.

    Nope its like SIXAXIS, you can't even aim at the screen like the Wiimote, so no 1:1 either.
