I think it's a good idea, but I hope that people won't get confused with
reality and gaming...that could be bad.

A:
I personally think this is a bad idea. You just know something is going to get wrong and of course someone is going to sue Microsoft/Nissan for it. Its great if you want it as a show car but other than that, there is no point.
A:
Just what we need. Another reason for someone to get in an accident.

Just what we need...something to pump the brakes up, wear out a steering rack, and flood the engine without ever going anywhere.
...unnecessary wear I'd imagine...and they already have a short life span.
(but then for those with money to burn, who cares, right? they can now buy a car for the kid at age 10 instead of 16...
..but officer, how can I let my kids play if I don't get a chance to leave them unattended in my car....(i can see it coming....)

Last Sunday's Top Gear had a segment about Clarkson driving Laguna Seca in GT4 and then in real life, he commented on how even one of the best driving sims out there is no where close to real life.
Granted he didn't use a wheel though....
But still, you don't die when you hit a wall in a game, and c'mon, a xbox 360 in a car? Why don't they fix the living room ones first??

A:
Waste of money.
What I like about our Zs is the lack of technology. You need special tools to work on modern cars and when you lift the bonnet you cant even find the battery! I dont want to be reliant on the dealer or a garage if i can help it.
I didn't have a Clue??!!! Until I found Blue...

A:
I would rather take $400 and buy a go-kart with a Briggs motor instead of an xbox 360. Then with the remaining money wasted in the development of such an absurd project, find a cure for cancer, clone myself, construct a moon base, etc.
Get the point, nissan/MS are just begging for a darwin award!
