At the 2008 NY Toy Fair there was a new virtual worlds product announcement called ME2 by Irwin Toy which is designed for kids. What is most compelling about this world is the pedometer-like devices that are sold to kids to access the online experience. As kids move, exercise, ride a bike, and play with the device attached to their waist, the device accumulates points. These points then become the online currency in the virtual world for buying virtual items. A great virtual world idea and social networking toy twist to keep kids active.

Good Job! :)
DO NOT PURCHASE IRWIN TOYS ME2 - NOT LISTED ON BOX BUT BURIED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE BOX FINE PRINT - PC ONLY, NOT MAC COMPATIBLE. THIS MEANS ANY MAC USER WILL NOT RECEIVE REFUND AS SOFTWARE PACKAGE IS OPENED BEFORE DISCOVERING! WE CALL THIS FRAUD IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!
and we call you a fag for using a MAC
