Does this $500 gaming chair do anything?

I’m skeptical of this chair. The website is chock full of user reviews and in-action type videos, but nowhere does it say what this chair actually does.
The idea of a chair on a rocker is certainly a not a bad one; lean with the action and the chair leans with you. Definitely does more than my couch does. But for $500? Uh, no. Especially because this happens to be an exceedingly scary-looking chair. I mean, what if you get in a crash?
In one of the videos a reference to two different modes (warrior stance, cockpit mode) was made, but with no further explanation. I doubt there is a motor under that silly looking thing, so I am suspecting that all motivating is to done by the user. As for the modes…well, turns out Warrior Stance means feet on the floor, while Cockpit mode is – you guessed it – feet up.
I’m wary of things that seem to be all pomp with no circumstance and this certainly raises my eyebrows. Anybody have a real experience with this thing? Leave a comment below.

I got Gyroxus for $389 and i love it. It has supercharged gaming for me. I play Ace Combat and Warhawk on it a lot. It also works cool with Halo. It is a bit of a workout after a while and my girlfriend has commented on my abs getting a little better. I like that - anything that makes her happy makes me happy. This is double the pleasure.

Hmm… sounds suspiciously like a viral sales pitch.
This chair seems to be a glorified rocking chair that lets you move your entire body when gaming. It probably is fun, but I doubt that it’s worth $500. Or even $389.

Wow, can you be any more obvious?
