I came across this at PC Case Gear's website. The link is to the product directly.

Interesting concept, a vest with zones that delivers up to 5 pounds of pressure during gameplay to simulate action. According to the FAQ, there is 8 pockets of actuators, 4x front and back. This is what they say in regards to how much 5lb feels like.

- How strong is 5 lbs of impact force?
Take a single roll of 50 pennies. Lay on the ground face up. Hold the role of pennies end on (up and down) 6 inches above your stomach, then release the roll and let the roll strike your stomach. That is what 5lb of force feels like.
Interestingly, the PC Case Gear website says it delivers 10lb of force.... I wonder who is right....lol.
I think it'd be fun to use one, but besides the two bundled games, the only ones I have from the supported list is Crysis, Bioshock and Call of Duty 4. It does also support WoW, and I'm wondering, does that mean if you're getting pincushioned by missile/ranged attacks, you'd feel it? And if you're tanking in melee in a zerg mob, you'd also feel every hit? I could imagine that for some situations (Leroy Jenkins style) that you'd feel an initial impact, and then the actuators would stay inflated the entire time due to the rate of hits you'd cop, meaning you're just feeling a tight vest being worn and not multiple impacts lol..
Price little sucker though, so definitely not something I would get myself lest someone is being generous, or lady luck comes my way.
