This technology is steadily becoming a part of our everyday. If you have played Boomblox then you’ve heard the victory trumpet and felt the light rumble when it’s your turn.

Note that the falcon’s price has dropped to $149 on Amazon! That’s around the amount that I’ve spent on multiple guitar controllers, drum padsilencers, and other Rock Band Accessories!
