Playstation 3

I read this neat article regarding monkeys that could use their minds to move an electronic arm to play a game. Scientists implanted a chip in their brain to allow them to interact with the electronic arm by pure thought. The article then goes on to cite the possible applications in humans such as artificial limbs.

To me the obvious application as in next generation video game systems. Forget redesigning the controller! Throw the controller out the window and just start doing chip implants. Who needs hand eye coordination when you can just have eye-mind coordination. That would be cool! Or what about for pilots? Imagine if they could control fighter craft via their mind? That would be so neat.
