Exercise bike with PSP - Image 1

Come on guys admit it, we all hate to exercise. It's rather tiring, routine-like, and takes time away from our playtime. However, would that change if the PlayStation Portable somehow got in the picture? We don't know if you'll like this, but online site Trixter just came up with an exercise machine called the X-Bike Sony PSP.

The said machine is actually a stationary bike that has a dock for the PSP in front. Of course, you might not be able to play games but you most certainly can watch movies or listen to music while burning away those oh-so-unwanted body fats. X-Bike comes with its own built-in speakers but you can always opt to use your headphones.

Trixter UK's Patrick Murray had this to say: "The combination between the music and the instructor really gives you that extra bit of motivation when you're not really looking forward to exercise. You can also watch movies, TV programmes and listen to your own music if you want. It's your choice."

The Read link below will take you to Trixter's product page for X-bike Sony PSP. The site delivers to Europe, North America, as well as South America.

Wow, and only $1200 for the light grade and $1700 for the heavy duty grade.

Interesting news, but way too pricey.

Woah there, speak for yourself bud. I love playing games just as much as the next mid 20s college student, but come on, I aint gonna make myself look like some bloated overweight computer nerd greaseball just cause of it.

Its called self discipline, and oh, an iPod makes it fun, trust me.

Shut up, fatty.

You could also take a regular exercise bike and put in front of a tv. That would make a lot more sense, i think, to everyone. In fact, you would literally have to be insane to see the psp dock have any sort of benefit.

What's more, is that the PSP dock doesn't even come as standard. It's about $60 extra!

Next please.

I wish my $50 bike had a dock attached to it with a small bar and holder that I could probably make myself. This way they could price it for only $1150 more because of the dock addon.
Thanks QJ for the heads up!
Will buy hope you have an affiliate link.

Well, I seem to find it amazingly easy to use my exercise bike hands free while playing anything from Ace Combat to LocoRoco to GTA.
