If I wasn't saving for a new car I'd buy that right now. :c

I assume you use some kind of glasses/goggles that let you view the game though them?
If not, that's kinda silly, because if you were to say look up, you couldn't see the moniter anymore.

No, thats incorrect. The software is used with the game. You wear a sticker somewhere on you and it tracks it. Also you don't look up all the way, you can set it according to how much you want to move your head.

There's also a few free software alternatives but they require webcams.

http://www.free-track.net/english/ (Requires you to build a headset)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/facetracknoir/ (Doesn't require a headset, But I couldn't test it because it's pretty CPU intensive)

I'd get Track IR because a lot of the games I would play support it, allowing better movement.

Still seems like it'd be one of those things you'd have to recalibrate every 5 seconds lol

Like a Wiimote.

A good portion of games that support TrackIR also support Freetrack.
