    And as an added bonus, if you happen to tip it over, it's self-extinguishing. You know, as long as it's actually in the bathtub.

    "Just like a real steam boat, this six-inch version moves because of expanding steam pushing away from water."

    I'm pretty sure that's not how real steamboats work. But this little gal can be forgiven for being so darn cute.

    Be interesting to see what they come up with. And what price they stick on that controller. I'm assuming they will have bundles but I hope they don't cost over $70... Wishful thinking?

    @SirFenwick: I think the PS Eye is currently about $30, so $40 on top for one set of controllers and demo disc won't be too far out I'd guess. Just hope they sell the controllers in their own bundles too.

    fun...but surprisingly difficult to maneuver (for us anyway), at least with this similar but non-usb version:

    If it had a flash drive so I could fly information to someone this would be so cash. Of course, who would think of putting a flash drive on a USB device? That would be silly.

    Why does it need that visor? Is the sun getting in it's fake eyes? Is it worried about a sunburn on its fake face, that is covered with whatever covers penguin flesh?
