that's crazy.... I heard on the radio today that cassette tapes are making a big comback (apparently) maybe your walkmans will be worth $ or museum pieces in a couple more years. :D

Got a good reference for sites that tell you how to spec out replacement belts? Took mine apart once 20 years ago to replace a failed belt, and it held up until I retired it some 15-20 years ago, but I'm damned if I know where to start looking for parts these days.

If things work out, the US should be getting the Oculus Rift some time next year. From what I read it's going to be a game-changer (literally).

I don't know how well that would sell in North America. They've tried video gaming with glasses before, and it never lasted long ...
Sega Master System 3D Glasses
Nintendo Virtual Boy
And there was one in the 90s that was just the glasses with a hand held controller, but I don't remember what it was called
