New video game "system" at Best Buy...

Anyone see this this weekend?

My Best Buy had one hooked up to a big screen TV. It was a system that had motion based software. THere was a bowling game with a real ball, a tennis game with a racket, and a baseball game with a bat and ball. Anyone know the name of this system? I wanted to look up more on it on the web just out of curiousity, but can't find any info anywhere. I looked at the console box itself, and remember seeing all types of software will be available, with a high level of interactivity.

Again, I'm not interested in purchasing it, but looking for more info out of curiousity...it seems to have come out of nowhere.

I saw that system too. The graphics on the tennis game were horrific.

They had the baseball game hooked up and mine and it looked awful also, but they did have it hooked up to a hi-def bigscreen so thats to be expected. They do this all the time...They had an awful looking PGR2 demo running on an X-box and when I looked at the connection behind the TV, they were just using the plain old A/V hookup.

I believe this is from the same company that makes the Atari or NES games that are in the N64 controller. While I haven't actually seen it at Best Buy, I know that a couple malls nearby sell them on carts. I've been contemplating getting the Ping Pong one
