Like many guys my age that grew up on video games and now have the money to buy what they want to satisfy the need for gaming, I am always on the lookout for something new and cool. I have force feedback controllers and the like, but what I really want is a full-motion simulator for driving and flying games. You can get them now, but they are much more expensive than I am interested in paying.

The Gyroxus hit market at a price of $479, not too bad for a full-motion simulator, but certainly not cheap when you consider you can get any of today’s console systems for less than that amount. Today 4th Motion — the makers of the Gyroxus — announced that the price of the Gyroxus was being cut by $100.

The chair is compatible with the PS3, PS2, Xbox, Game Cube, and Windows — covering most all the gaming bases. The Gyroxus looks cool from the videos I have seen and would be a cool addition to driving and flight simulations. The weight capacity for the chair is 250 pounds, which will work for the majority of gamers. Details on exactly how the chair works are still scarce. I can’t tell if the Gyroxus is motorized or if you are simply supposed to lean in the direction you are turning.
