In an effort to provide gamers with a way to burn a few pounds off, Gamercize Sport is a console accessory that prevents controllers from responding unless you’re exercising. If you’re not exercising enough, Master Chief won’t be able to frag Aliens, and won’t be able to rock out to Guitar hero. Gizmodo notes that,
Each last-gen adapter (Xbox, PS2/PSOne, Gamecube) will run you almost $80. An optional stepper is available for $60 and a stationary cycle will cost about $90. Next-gen plans after the jump.
For all you Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 exercise junkies, Gamercize Pro-Sport versions will be available in September. Below you can see a couple of "prototype" shots, but don't count on much changing from the previous iteration. According to the developer's "independent research data" an hour of gaming on the stepper's maximum setting is like playing soccer or swimming competitively, burning almost 700 calories.
