Star Wars Force Trainer Uses Mind Bullets To Move Ball Through Chute [Star Wars]
Gizmodo —
... This Force Trainer, priced at $90-$100, hooks up to your head via wireless headset and transmits your reading to the toy, which blows air and moves the ball up the chute.

Force Trainer: A Mind Reading Game With Star Wars Sound Effects
GadgetReview —
... to float a ball at specific levels using just their concentration. Just like the Mindflex, the Force Trainer reads the player’s brain wave levels and converts that information into ‘fan amplitude’. Concert more and the fan’s power increases. Lower your concentration and the fan’s power decreases.
No word on release date, but I’d expect it in the latter half of 2009. The Force Trainer will cost $90 to $100.

... needed here. Like with the Mindflex game, you’ll need to concentrate on something in order to activate the trainer and manipulate the ball, though it seems to me like you could be easily distracted by the Star Wars sound effects and audio clips that will let you know how you’re progressing from a lowly Padawan to a Jedi Master.
The Force Trainer is expected to be in stores this Fall, and will set you back about 90 to 100 republic credits.

... The Force Trainer – Well, if Darth Vader practiced his Force manipulations with the MindFlex Game above, then surely the typical Jedi started out early with the Force Trainer. The ideal is that you strap on the headset and focus on moving the ball up (no, just the ball – put down that X-Wing.) As you progress through the 15 levels of training Yoda will be there, at least in voice, to guide you through your mastery of all things unseen. While not perhaps as entertaining as the MindFlex game above, how can ...
