The leather Porsche gaming wheel can be hooked up to a PS3 or PC and comes equipped with a 6+1 shifter, three working pedals, feedback motors, and a key-shaped 1GB memory stick for storing settings. Priced at $349, Fanatec’s wireless gaming wheel is truly the new poor man’s Porsche. But we still think it would make a great addition to any game room or home office.

To commemorate the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV, Microsoft put out a limited release of 500 individually-numbered XBOX 360’s emblazoned with GTA graphics in automotive paint. The XBOX’s each come with a spy-like carrying case holding a variety of XBOX accessories and other items. Unfortunately, Microsoft only made the special edition consoles available to a select group of press outlets, and BallerHouse unfortunately didn’t make the cut (Microsoft, if you’re reading, you can still rectify the situation).

The tiles can be configured to produce a huge variety of animated graphics and touch-activated effects, ranging from live video feeds to psychedelic color waves. Arranged on the floor, on the wall, as a bar top, or all of the above, the tiles create a ridiculously unique environment for dancing, gaming, or tripping your face off. And Lightspace tiles don’t just belong in the nightclub. Just Light That also recommends using them for residential interior design. To see Lightspace in action, check out Just Light That’s video page.
