Concerned

If we need a controller and our parents are poor how can we afford a controller like it’s a big deal for my family, Like how can I even play?!

Great app... but lack of content

The app would be a lot better if there was more content out of the box. ZapBox is still fun though.

Slightly dissapointed

Only minigolf works out of the box? Where can I get more applications?

Love it!!!!

I pledged there Kickstarter for the developer bundle and have been using it for some time. I can't wait for it to blast off with all it can do.
