Maybe you find the gigantic

Maybe you find the gigantic controller for Steel Battalion (reissued this week) just isn't immersive enough or simply too awkward for the coffee table. There's hope: Two Japanese hardware makers are offering cockpits where you can mount the controller and sit comfortably. Masaya's Steel Armor, which looks like a weight bench with a large orange chair, will cost about $350. Meanwhile, Prototype's Type-00 looks like an arcade cabinet complete with helmet to hold your Xbox Live headset for the online-enabled sequel. Hold that drool: You're looking at $2,800 for the full cockpit setup. No U.S. release is planned, but the truly hardcore (and loaded) will import these to play the ultimate vertical tank sim in style and comfort...
