No pain no gain!
Forget about rumbling, buzzing joypads. PC gaming just got a whole lot more realistic thanks to the incredible 3rd Space FPS Vest. This state of the art flak jacket utilises patented pneumatic technology to simulate bullet hits, punches, body slams, explosions and much more. It can even simulate the precise direction and force of bullet fire and replicate fear-inducing finger taps on your shoulders. Aargh! Who'd have guessed being shot, walloped, whacked and smacked could be so entertaining?
Connect via USB
The USB-friendly 3rd Space FPS Vest takes first person shooter-style games to unparalleled levels of realism. Not that we've ever been shot. It's just that this hi-tech peripheral plunges you right into the thick of it like never before. Believe us, the tension becomes pant-wettingly unbearable when you're wearing this body-bashing baby.
The Black and Camo vests
Get ready for combat!
So how does it work? Well, eight, count 'em, eight, pneumatic cells are embedded in various spots around the vest. As the vest communicates with compatible games (via the included software), a special compressor fires air into the cells using appropriate levels of force to accurately simulate the on-screen action. So a direct hit from a rifle will elicit a sharp thud whilst a girly punch will summon an appropriately feeble 'wumph'. Get blasted by some alien shotgun and your entire upper body will receive an almighty whack from all eight cells. Ouch! The jacket won't bruise you but you'll certainly know you've been tagged. And if you get shot from behind or slapped on the back, the vest responds accordingly. Yow!
Pneumatic cells are embedded around the vest
Yes, you will look pretty daft sitting in front of your computer wearing a flak jacket but who cares about that when you're reeling from three direct hits to the chest and a rata-tat-tat of machine gun fire from behind. It's just like the real thing minus all that pain and dying business.
The 3rd Space FPS Vest comes bundled with its own game disc, 3rd Space Incursion, plus a copy of Activision's Call of Duty 2, but it's also compatible with stacks of other games including Quake 4 and Medal of Honour Airborne.
Buckle up!
Quite frankly this is one of the most amazing gaming accessories we've ever had the pleasure to wear. Come to think of it, it's the only gaming accessory we've ever had the pleasure to wear. So get ordering - you won't know what's hit you!

This product is quality. I never stop using it, my life is based around it.
I have experienced other fps vests but this one is in another league, galaxy even.
This stitching was of such high quality, words could not express the craftmanship slaved into this fine product.

Strangely enough I had the idea for this when I was playing Morrowind around 8 years ago. At first I thought about electric pulses that body builders use but then decided a small buzzer was enough to show where you got hit. I could have been rich :(.

Will this work with the game "World of Warcraft!?
Firebox says: Not at the moment but the list is always being developed and added to. You can keep an eye on it here:

Less of a review, more of a question: will this be compatible with my PS3 and my MAC?
Firebox says: Not yet Luke - console versions available by Xmas hopefully.
