Reading the Reddit threads from people who have actually bought this, and report the accuracy as absolutely horrible (particularly as the calibration is done in 16:9 while the games play at 4:3 which then stretches to fit the screen), you’d thing it’s a completely different device compared to those people who got given one for free to review like this one.

It’s a shame as I loved the idea, particularly if someone could fine a way to hack it so Time Crisis 2 and the House of the Dead games could also be added, but seems maybe a gen 2 attempt next year would be worth waiting for when they can hopefully get the accuracy and calibration fixed.
