Anyone use this? Worth getting? I love light gun shooters but I'm moving up to an LCD rear pro TV later this week.

If this worked with Silent Scope and was cheaper I'd be interested.

I would be extremely hesitant. The problem with light guns working has nothing to do with the screen size or HD but with them being Rear Projection and this says nothing about working with RP TV's.

Apparently this gun won't support multiplayer...which sucks (no dual gun action).

Actually, some CRT-based RPTVs do work with some guns on some gun games. Rear projection isn't inherently unworkable with lightgun technology, but many guns and games don't provide for the differences in brightness, contrast, and of the various line doubling technologies that are used in various high-def RPTVs.

This gun uses tracking technology instead of optical detection of raster scanning, and will work indepently of any display technology. But personal reviews indicate that it isn't as accurate as a GunCon, and is a bit particular as to how you hold the gun. I'd imagine that later revisions of this technology will address these issues.

That gun works great. It was probably the best-kept secret at E3. Yes, it only supports 1 gun per camera, but it works really well (seemed to be on par with a Guncon), and is EASY to recalibrate on the fly if it starts to drift due to too much movement on your part.

I heard they had some kind of manufacturing problem and won't have more until Sept, though.

Does this mean I can finally play TC3 and Crisis Zone?

With this gun, yes. And if you buy two (two guns/two cameras), you can do multiplayer.

Can't get a better source then that, hehe
I've also read some reviews on it, all of which were positive. Do note that it does not work on Silent Scope for Xbox

You sure Vic? Website seems to say otherwise.

Note: G1 does not support multiple players. It is not currently compatible with PC games.

But hell, I'll bat one down if it indeed works.
