This picture looks photoshopped, but Joystiq reckons it's real:

Pretty cool for retro games.

I can't imagine using is comfortably

as comfortable as playing the 2600. I like the loopk of it a lot. Dunno about actually playing with it though... hmmm. I can't see myself playing street fighter with that.

Looks like one of the many 2600/ C64 joysticks that were out in the day.

If I want an arcade joystick, I want buttons and a joystick like the arcades have... not some stick on a morphed 360 pad. Imagine trying to play a Galaga or a Track and Field... that is not a button bashing joystick. That's a throwing at a TV joystick.

EDIT: Wanted to add that whenever I look at that, I hear the sound of suction cups being ripped off a table as you try to get the fastest time in Summer Games

Yeah, I sure as shit won't be buying one... the only sort of retro/arcade stick I'd buy is one that has a similar layout to the old DC one. Except, perhaps, with a trackball for games like Marble Blast, Arkanoid clones etc.

Yea, a watch your neighbours rip it out of the base joystick. True story.
