Get fit (not fat) while playing PS3 and 360!

StarJet | February 07, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
GZ Prosport. What does it sound to you like? Whatever it does, it actually is some sort of an exercise machine that you can hook up to your PS3 or 360. I don't really understand how it's supposed to work, but it's meant to give the user exercise while he plays the game.
Oh, and did I mention that games will pause as soon as you stop exercising?
The Nintendo Wii and its motion-sensing gameplay might be hogging the media limelight when it comes to helping prize the sedentary and rotund from their pits of inactivity, but UK-based Gamercize is hoping its GZ Pro-Sport will help Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 sloths to rise up and shed a few pounds in the name of fun.


Whether Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners warmly embrace the GZ Pro-Sport remains to be seen however, not least because all of the products available through Gamercize come with a calorie-burning catch.

Gamercize enthuses that the mini-steppers and mini-cycles on offer hook up directly to their user’s videogame console to provide “genuine cardiovascular exercise” that burns more calories per hour than any other videogame system (stab at the Wii there?).

      ... You've never played WiiSports before, have you ? A few rounds of boxing in that game is a good arm workout.

    It looks like its going to be something similar to an exercise bike, or some kind of pedal machine that gives you resistance as you sit on your ass on the couch while playing videogames. While an interesting idea, not practical because no one will use it. 2/10

    I've seen this for the PS2 @ Thinkgeek.com. I joked with my G/F that would be the only way to make me exercise besides sex.

    I can picture Gamespot reviewers giving every game a 2 or a 3 because they couldn't stay on the machine long enough.

      Hehe. WIN! Though why Gamespot reviewers would wanna exercise with this piece of **** is a worthy problem of its own accord.

    Games like these are for the fat people that get some hope in a video game that will help them lose weight - the amount they lose in 3hours is probably equivalent to the amount they would lose in 7minute jog.
