We get the feeling this isn't the motion sensing surprise that's likely in store for Xbox 360 fans at E3, but it's still great to see this controller moving beyond the hype stage. After being spied late last year and detailed around two months ago, the Gametrak Freedom motion controller is now listed at GameStop with an October 15th ship date. The controller, which will come bundled with Squeeballs: Island Party for the Xbox 360, is already up for pre-order, promising gamers who shell out $69.99 a grand total of 11 motion sensing party games. Unfortunately, there's no word on how much extra Freedom sticks will run, but based on the price of this kit, we'd wager not much.

I'm not so sure, the Wii has made it perfectly clear different control types (Wii Balance Board, Wii Zapper) can co-exist. I definitely forsee this as more of a "Gametrak device" rather then an XBOX 360 peripheral, though. As in, I don't see other major developers using this right now, especially now that Natal is on the way. I could see some movie tie-ins or waggle-fest games being ported from the Wii to the 360 using this, though.
