Microsoft Rips Off Nintento WiiHelm
First it was Sony ripping off Nintendo with the whole, "My SixAxis is your WiiMote," prospect, but that at least took several months until the grand reveal.
Now, no more than a few hours after ThinkGeek officially announced the WiiHelm does Microsoft debut their own Xbox 360 Wireless Helmet.
What a gyp, Microsoft! I can't believe that you would have the gall to appropriate the awesome-tastic features of the WiiHelm without at least telling us how you came up with the idea all by yourself or that you thought of the same idea, but your version is exceedingly better.

Oh my, if you thought people didn't look awesome enough while using some of the new control devices, here comes the ultimate awesome looking thing. I'm being sarcastic btw, pretty sure it's a blast to use, as far as sexy gaming goes thought, not so much.
The WiiHelm was Think Geek's April fool's joke LAST year.
So, really, Microsoft is a year late.
