Pac-Man balaclava this season's must-have gaming accessory?

mistermostyn | July 25, 2007 | News | Misc Gaming Tech/Hardware 
Some gaming accessories heighten gameplay enjoyment, some extend the experience long after the game has been finished, and some... um... keep your ears warm? Welcome the Pac-Man Plush-Head helmet into your life on cold Winter days, and promptly wave goodbye to all your friends as you're abandoned as a social outcast.

Still, cute though.
For a very long time indeed, they were the preserve of SAS units, terrorists, Formula One drivers, and of young children with dramatically over-protective parents who didn't care all that much about how their poor child actually looked. Now however, balaclavas are slowly creeping back in, to the extent that even gamers are being targeted.

Take, for example, the Pac-Man Plush-Head helmet. On sale in "limited numbers" at the ClubNAMCO shop. An adult version of this garish headpiece will set you back $29.99 (£15 / €22), while a matching one for your no-doubt-thrilled-to-bits child comes in at $24.99 (£12 / €18).

    A Pac-Man balaclava? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard and I think the part which says "abandoned as a social outcast" pretty much sums up this accessory.

    A bank robber's best friend, the Pac-Man balaclava will help you steal those precious dots.

      xD

      This is strange, why do they think people will acturally buy these. Sure Pac-man dose have a good enough fan base from over the years but it dose not mean they will buy anything *sigh*
