Imagine being chased by a 27 foot virtual fire breathing dragon all the way from your living room couch through the kitchen up the stairs only to trip then stumble off a cliff luckily splashing into a raging virtual river 200 feet below! That's the concept behind the Pentagon's next generation Extreme Virtual Reality holographic FULLY immersive gaming console.
"We're going to kick Nintendo's you know what" Donald Rumsfeld told Larry King on last night's show. King went on to ask Rumsfeld,
KING: Mr Rumsfeld, they say this thing doesn't even need a TV. They say that it instead uses some kind of top secret 22nd century high energy anti-gravity holographic particle beam projection system that covers your whole house. Why is the Pentagon giving away highly classified military secrets by putting them into a gaming console?
RUMSFELD: Larry somebody's got to pay for this Iraq war and we're pretty confident that our PS-Wii-Box360-Station will do it. We expect to sell over 40 million units the first day at Walmart alone. Get there early.
KING: How long has the government had this futuristic technology supposedly encapsulated in the console and did it come from aliens? What do you know?
RUMSFELD: I am not at liberty to discuss the alien part or the saucer that we recovered when they .. OOPS .. can you erase that part of the tape?
KING: This is a LIVE show Mr Rumsfeld. That's why we call it Larry King Live.
RUMSFELD: Oops.
Critics of the PS-Wii-Box360-Station claim that it is too dangerous to play especially if rumors are true that if you die in the game you die in real life. One Pentagon official responded saying,
"Yes you theoretically could die in a game but that's what makes it so much fun. PS3 can't pull THAT particular feat off, Wii either. Or the Xbox 360 last I heard from intelligence." Walmart reports lines for the PS-Wii-Box360-Station already forming outside the store even though the game won't be released until 3rd quarter 2007.
"You've got to get there early" one die-hard gaming fan told reporters before zipping up his tent for the night and blowing out his lantern. "You've got to get there early."
