Klif has sent in this article about a robotic industrial arm which you can strap yourself into and have rides on. There is a video of a man having a go and whoa it looks like a wild ride. "We've heard of robot arm-driven rides before, but this guy is seriously taking it to the next level.

"Delayed in September 2006 from a planned November 2006 launch, the PS3 will now debut in Europe and other territories that use the PAL TV standard on 23 March, Sony announced last week. Only the 60GB model will be offered at launch, though the 20GB version may appear later in the year, if it's in demand, Sony said. Or if the 60GB PS3 doesn't sell so well, might be a better way of putting it."
