    All I can say is... ouch. No-way I'm buying one of these until a very good game comes out that uses it essentially.

      You haven't seen the many third-party Wii-mote attachments on the market, have you? There's golf clubs, pool cues, fishing rods, various guns, etc.. Nintendo's official products are also increasing, with the Wii-Wheel, Wii-Zapper, this MotionPlus, classic controller...it's mind-boggling.

        They're all just pieces of plastic. The Wii MotionPlus is the only real new add on if you don't include the Nunchuck and Classic Controller.
