The coolest Christmas toy for 2007: A full-motion flight simulator platform

Every now and again, a press release arrives that makes me glad I don't block PR distribution lists. I think this one about the DreamFlyer Flight Motion Simulators that is being introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show preview next week in New York City falls into that category. For the person who has everything, you can buy them the ultimate USB peripheral: a two-axis motion platform for Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, or other flight simulator. You can even buy it with brackets for up to three LCD displays that move with the platform.

The $2,800 price tag plus $450 shipping puts knocks it off my Christmas list, but you have to admit, it's a pretty cool gadget.
