A second humorous point is the fact that outside of Japan, the Guncon 3 has a really cheesy (literally) bright orange color. Japan gets a cool black one. Why? Government regulations in the US and certain parts of Europe -- anything modeled after a gun needs to look significantly different than a real gun.
It helps that the gun is accurate. The hardware side of the gun sounds impressive: "the lens of the gun was designed by a company that makes precision lenses used in cameras and scanners that can minimize distortion at the 90mm level. In the Guncon 3 itself, there are chips dedicated to computing the location of the sensors, which can detect their position within 1/60th of a second and transmit the data to the PS3. These chips also contain the functionality to detect movement and tilt" like a Sixaxis -- might be handy for reloading? Anyway, check out the post on the PlayStation Blog to see all the prototypes and the final result.

What's so hard about making a SOLID WHITE gun? Would look a lot cooler than orange, or even black. Who uses a solid white gun anyway? Not even snow camo...
I'd almost rather play this game with the RE4 chainsaw controller instead... :)

Sorry, but I don't care how cool it is, If I have to use a bright any color guncon to play TC, I'm just not going to.

If it has analogue sticks that'd ruin the fun of the point and shoot concept. Maybe it just looks wrong, but it sure does that well. As for colours I'll spray paint it.
