They run between 12 and 30 dollars.</p> On the bottom of the GameRunner homepage, you will see a link to a great supplier of the adapter so that you can plug the GameRunner into old consoles.

You should talk to your employees who manned the booth. They ignored us while we tried to find out information (even though we were taking pictures and asked them for some literature). It wasn’t a busy time of the day, they just were too busy talking to each other and playing. The original Xbox does NOT have a USB port, so there must be some sort of converter that would make it work. It would have been nice if your employees had noticed us and showed us the features of your product.

It’s good to know that there are other settings to increase the intensity and that the GameRunner works with the popular gaming consoles.

Thanks for the correction,

(XBOX and Playstaion now recognize the mouse/keyboard digital signal and have USB direct ports) </p> <p>Also, we would have had to hire marathon runners to keep our displays active all day if we had set the belt ratio for running. The GameRunner has ten different settings so if you want to (or can) run through several hours of game play, feel free. If you are going to make statements denigrating our product, at least make them accurately. The things you pick on aren't even remotely true.</p> It is not true that the GameRunner is only compatible with PC games.
