I don't think any hardcore gamers will be bummed out by it not reading sign language, if they even buy it at all. I may get one at some point, but not right away, and definitely not for $150. I'll see how it pans out over time and what improvements/upgrades they make to the device itself before I consider buying. I do want to try that racing game though, I saw it being played on an engadget video podcast and it looked very responsive.
