Seriously had lots of fun surfing through TV channels with this beauty, made watching TV a blast for the first time in ages. Best of all, almost everything is done through motion-sensing gestures, giving you a taste of some cool imaginary psychic power.

The main draw, at least for me, is how beautiful this thing is. Made from die-cast metal, polished copper and a range of other synthetic materials, this is probably the closest anyone will get (for now) to experiencing the feel of the sonic screwdriver in your hand. It comes with a variety of sounds and lights if you just want to use it as a toy. It has a bunch of Easter Eggs in sounds and lights that I haven't finished discovering yet.

Only downside is that the metal clasps do not spring open like in the show, but I was amazed at how little I ended up caring about that. In fact, I didn't mind because it made the whole device a lot more solid-feeling.

For the amazing stuff you get, I felt the price was more or less justified ($99.95 AUD in my case). I had way more fun than I expected.

Nice! I've been eyeing that thing since the pre-orders went up. I have the toy one with lights and sounds as well as the spring loaded function. I will probably get this one eventually.
