iGUGU Gamecore transforms the PC into the world’s most powerful videogame console enabling users to access and play the vast majority of PC- and Internet-based titles on a television or home entertainment center. The iGUGU Gamecore system consists of a compact wireless controller which incorporates a robust set of controls, freeing the gamer from the need to use a traditional PC keyboard or mouse and a kit to connect the computer to any TV.
A TV-friendly, easy-to-use interface enables users to manage their entire PC game libraries and Internet gaming sites. Users can also easily search for games across the Internet, many available without subscription or fee, and can download thousands of free games from the iGUGU servers.
Connecting the PC to the television is made easy through two connectivity options which do not require the addition of any hardware to the PC. iGUGU Mid Range provides connectivity up to 50 feet through a VGA cable and utilizes a wireless USB which is connected to the PC to communicate with the wireless remote. iGUGU Long Range enables audio and high-definition video to be transmitted up to 330 feet between transmitter/receiver boxes that are connected between the computer and television.
This looks like some freakish bastard offspring of a 360 & PS3 controller (with their respective mini-keyboard addon) with a trackball stuck onto it. I'd be interested in having a go but since its going to be us$80 and since the first thing I do with a PS3 game is look for a way to turn off sixaxis controls, I'm not sure I'd get good vaue out of it.

Why are they using a console racing game (Gran Turismo 5 I think) on the first slide to demonstrate motion sensing games? Oh right, because there aren't any in the first place (or any that we care about)!

it was impossible to connect PC and a TV, UNTIL NOW! It's a pretty damn expensive controller...

Well it IS a controller with motion sensing tech (which is just another axis so there's no need for games to be made FOR it) and a trackball, you know how expensive those things can be!

This is a very strange product, and it's not clear what audience this is actually mean to be appealing to. It's not like hooking a PC to your TV is complicated; these days any dedicated video card--including budget models--includes DVI output (and often S-Video as well) in addition to or instead of VGA, so playback on an LCD or HDTV needs just a standard-issue cable and maybe an adapter (retail video card packages typically include a few right in the box for this very purpose). Throw in a wireless 360 pad or keyboard and mouse and you're good to go. IGUGU is the same thing (right down to the VGA cable), just with an inferior controller no game natively supports and a lame tilt gimmick thrown in for fun.
The wireless version is a bit more promising, although I suspect that latency issues could be detrimental to the experience.

This is more idiotic than OnLive.

This.
Because we all know that buying a cheaper 360 controller and hooking up a gaming rig to the TV (if that floats your boat) is SO hard and you need a very expensive controller for that purpose.

I love how under the "tech specs" they cram in as much technical information as they can about the cables to make the list look longer. "Audio: MAX. PULLING TENSION: 41.5 LBS."

Well, it's certainly sophisticated technology. I mean, the long range solution consists of a "transmitter" and a "receiver", connected by a fucking CABLE.
This could have been an impressive product... 12 years ago.

More like 120 years ago, cables have been connecting things for so long!

So the object is to turn PC games controlled by mouse and keyboard into a console game? I suppose it is to bring more games to more people, but is it going to be a monthly service that you have to purchase in order to keep playing with the controller and your TV?

Thirded.

I have had my computer hooked up to my TV for half a year now.
With a HDMI cable, not VGA no less.
Using the Logitech AIR Mouse as a remote mouse from a distance. And a PS2 controller if i want to play something that requires a controller.
In other words .. this controller is a waste of money.

They make magnetic attachments for audio cables specifically for that problem.
Plus it's talking about the audio cable that is attached to the video cable connecting your computer to the box.
