Before speaking, learn telling. And to tear magic from science is very dumb pupil-like.

I got a few of these from my local end-of-line store, it's like a cut price reactable.

it was £3.99, about 100 times cheaper than the laser harp doo-dad

ha ha...thing is you can actually do things with the Wiimote, the thing that is so bewildering about the Harp thing is that all they are is note on/off - like 6 buttons!!!!

and it seems to ship with such unbelievably crap content

it's like they have gone out of their way to think up a way to make people look like fools for the sake of 6 buttons that trigger the shittiest 80s porno soundtrack they could find

I just can't believe its real.
And it brings a tear to my eye to think that someone might actually be dumb enough to buy it....

What a sham. The guys who made it must be just cracking up ("we got away with it!!")
