TN Games, makers of "physical experience hardware," will release a PC vest accessory on Nov. 21 that mimics the feeling of being hit by real bullets when playing first-person shooters.

The 3rd Space FPS Vest features eight embedded contact points that are said to simulate the direction and force of bullet fire in a first-person shooter game.

"Our patented vest technology now provides gamers with an unprecedented opportunity to physically experience their action... feel the rush of body slams, be crushed with G-forces, feel a stab wound or be blasted with bullet fire in either a single or multi-player game," said Mark Ombrellaro, founder of TN Games.

The 3rd Space FPS Vest comes bundled with a TN Games developed first-person shooter in addition to a 3rd Space enabled version of Call of Duty II. The rumble suit retails for US$189, although it can be [url=\"http://www.tngames.com/shop/\"]purchased online[/url] without Call of Duty II for $169.

Shipping Nov. 21, the FPS vest also supports Quake 3, 4, and Doom 3 via free software patches found on the Redmond-based company's website. It is available in black, digital camouflage, and pink and comes in two adjustable sizes.

*NightStorm Note: Great... having watched Mike play a few FPS games though, I don't think this would be a good investment for him... although it would definitely desensitize him to gunshots.*

neatness, was wondering when they would come out with something like this. wonder if anyone will end up dying because of being "shot" too many times.

Personally...and this is just me...im not about paying around $200 dollars to feel what its like to get shot while im playing my game. The whole idea is "oh i got shot, oh well ive got 50 bajillion more lives." First reality TV...now reality gaming...what wont they take over?
