Pillow/neck rest for gaming

Finally, all of you handheld hardcore gamers out there can get rid of back and neck pains so common in your "line of work". A Japan-based company named Lofty has the solution, in the form of a huggable pillow/neck rest, called Game Dutch.

If you like the Nintendo DS or the Sony PSP, you can certainly use this to ease the muscular strain you get from gaming all day long. I know that after a long day of Pokemon on the DS you can feel some discomfort in your arms, back and neck but Game Dutch is here to help you. This 44 by 60 cm pillow is specially designed for gamers and their needs and it's entirely made of polyester.

It currently retails for 4,176 yen or US$ 32.30 as qj.net reports. You can get one (should you live in Japan) or you can make one yourself (if you know how). Yeah, you might bash this product and say that it is completely dorky and that it makes a portable device not so portable but keep in mind that gaming is such hard work sometimes.

You must admit that it looks rather comfy. It should come with straps so you could wear it like a backpack, then just fling it around and sit down when you get that instant gaming desire (joking). But I'm curious to see if you get back cramps from being in that position for a long period of time, Be that as it may, people will certainly buy this...
