No way, he looks like a good science fiction series from the '80s...

He looks like a white Geordi La Forge.

I don't think it matters how it looks on you, if it works well, it's freekin sweet.

I don't see you ever spending $400+ on something like this... I think the price makes it decidedly not sweet.

Prices always come down eventually on electronics.

I'd definitely try to buy it if not for the important mention that motion sensors are not really good unless you make moderate slow movements. Hopefully soon they start to come out with some native 1024x768+ glasses for twitch players as well so you can move and dodge your head and it'll pick it up. Maybe this is something for nintendo?
