They're called HMD's, or Head Mounted Display units. These would make the ultimate screens for any portable game system, too bad theyre so damn pricey.

I figured that most of you had prolly heard of these already, but I didn't see a topic so I figured I'd make one.

Yeah, but unlike Virtual Boy, it can display a decent picture, in colors other then red.

What was their "first greatest failure?" Yes, everyone remembers the Virtualboy...

I dont think these things would be good for portable gaming... think about it. Your on the scene of Independence Day (the movie) and the aliens just fired their huge ass laser onto the city. now you're on a bench with these things covering your eyes and the headphones covering your ears. Sooo now you're blind and deaf. You cant hear people running or screaming as their go past you in a furious rage to escape the torment while you're still sitting on that bench trying to beat the level of Conker's Bad Fur Day while laughing your ass off too. I guess you're screwed...
(you can insert any movie with a terrible tragedy: The Day After Tomorrow or even Pokemon.)

Well, thats my story on why I dont like those things. I hope you didn't smash your computer in the process of listening to my ramblings...

Although, that brings up a funny story...Aaaahhhh!!!(runs away from aproaching mob with pitchforks and torches)
