    Over the years there have been plenty of rubbish peripherals released for games systems. Example? The sound lounger;

    Could that look any less appealing? Apparently it features a subwoofer so powerful you'll feel every roaring engine and brutal punch - and all from the discomfort of some shitty sleeping mat that places you in a horribly awkward gaming position! Only 130 pounds each? No wonder that guy bought a second one for his mate!

    What pants peripherals have you guys come across? Anybody laid down the cash for something embarrasingly poor?

    the lack of neck/head support is retarded, after 10 minutes you would die

    Bean Bags > All

    I agree, there's nothing like playing a game while

    sitting in a comfy bean bag.

    As what comes to the "sound lounger", it just looks very awkward and

    I wouldn't want a huge subwoofer punching me in the neck everytime

    I crash into a tree.

    i've always wanted a beanbag chair, but i think i would be uncomfortable after a few minuges because of the lack of head support, the gigantic 2 person beanbags on the otherhand look awesome. too bad my dog would destroy it the day i got it

    I think he just posted that as a picture for Wacom, I doubt he actually made that.

    Since I'm a poor Brazilian fella I have never bought any shitty peripheral as far as I can remember. But those Donkey Kong drums for the GC seemed pretty silly for me. They cost like $80 bucks (here in Brazil that is) and can only be used on a single game ?

    Anyways, it might be actually fun cause Donkey Kong games are always fun. But I wouldn't pay that much for that.

    the newer USB Gravis Gamepad Pros are much more breakable than ever before, including the usb cable, dpad, even the back buttons

    they were manafactured much better in 94-97

    Not really a rubbish peripheral, but a rubbish use of one.

    Dance mat to control a game of Tekken. Two dance mats, two players, whole lot of energy wasted.

    When I was many years younger I bought a steering wheel for the PC at a local supermarket, it was cheap as hell but it also broke after a day...

    Then the next day I went out and got a Microsoft steering wheel.

    That one in particular. It was pretty cool actually, for a few weeks anyway. Race games tend to bore me pretty quickly. In the end its too much work setting it up each time as well as opposed to just firing the game up and playing with the keyboard. Rubbish.

    I know we could fill a hundred pages with stupid USB things, but this is the strangest, yet most useful USB peripheral I've seen

    [Blocked Image: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/8394/scalemsargs2235003376970no3.jpg]

    The mighty USB vacuum cleaner!

    I'm going to buy one for a friends birthday coming up
