When we mean cheap, we dont mean price but we mean the thought behind the peripheral. If you thought flood of plastic Wii accessories were bad, this might be up there. PEGA has released a Wireless Vibration Grip with FM Radio (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10939/~r.74066433) for your SIXAXIS controller. This is their solution for those who cant afford to purchased a Dual Shock 3 (black (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-38tr-71-zl-49-en-15-dual shock 3-84-j-70-2act.html)/white (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-38tr-71-zl-77-1-49-en-15-dual shock 3-84-j-70-2boq.html)).

The vibrating adapter connects to the controller while the other adapter connects to the back of the PlayStation 3. Since its an adapter, it wont rumble based on gameplay. It will rumble based on sound in the game. For those who are interested, it costs $17 and ships free. I'm tempted to review the item but if I do, I may be scarred for life.

The diet caffeine free rumble.

Take everything useful from the product; being its ability to give feedback at appropriate times and be no additional hassles (short lived energy/addictiveness) then sell it.

The fact that crap like this can be mass produced at profit is a great example of everything that is wrong with 'globalisation'.

At least some people can claim that the drink in some way kind-of resembles the real thing. :)
