What the **** is this?

I just saw that on Kijiji, it's a "very rare nintendo nes super gamer chair"... If you look closely at the picture, there's a controller wire that plugs into an NES controller port, and buttons on the handles... What the heck is that really? I've never seen that. He's selling it for 100$...

*Edit*
Looking for info on it... all I managed to find was a similar chair that actually looks different:

And also a video:

I'm really not sure if that other chair is the same as the one I found on kijiji though.

Interesting, I've never heard of such a thing.  You should buy it!

What is it? You mean besides pure awesome right?

I have no idea though but like most devices of this type it doesn't look like it works all that well from what the video shows. I wouldn't spend more than 30 on it personally.

Yeah, that 100$ price point isn't really interesting me :P

Ive seen the disabled controller. Someone on here actually owns one (look at the thread with the game rooms). As far as the other one, it looks more gimmick than anything. I cant imagine how long the thing would actually work jerking around as it does. It looks homemade honestly. Its a nifty idea however.
