That is the coolest thing I've seen in a while! Gotta have one!
$240? There's gotta be a cheaper way to get one!
The minute's side is pwning the hour side!
Is there software publically avialable that allows me to do this without buying the device? Sutch as a Screen saver or other app?
Paul,
you forgot to mention it has GAMEPLAY as an added feature ! :-)
Yes, you can pick your clock of the wall and have a go at that high score againts the clock with a game fo Pong...
See:

for more details
$240 for that???? If you are going to buy a "clock" that expensive, make it this one: http://froogle.google.com/froogle_url?q=http://www.audioadvisor.com/store/productdetail.asp%3Fsku%3DNIXIECLOCK%26loc%3D2&fr=ABLb6ya7UJvkMYgprcNsgADsED7TpxgGnwAAAAAAAAAA&hl=en
IMO, much cooler!
please god let them make a pong watch!
I dig their free screensaver, its essentially the same thing; only, you know, free.
For that price I'd rather convert a cheap laptop.
Also note the Pong Clock screensaver is out now.

Youngsir, that is an awsome idea!
Would be a great application for the first paper display watch.
what is with the site breaking every link? The < br > are being added to the URL and it's a pain in the ass to fix them manually
Actually, $240 is a lot cheaper than I thought it would be. Designer clocks are always pricey, and this one has a big LCD and a processor, too. I think this clock is cheaper than their "Orbit" clock, and it's much more of a conversation piece.
Not saying it's exactly cheap, mind you...
I want one.
When I said "big LCD," I meant "big for a clock."
The screen is 12 cm by 16 cm, so this isn't exactly a huge clock.
But hey...it's Pong!
The Orbit clock can be bought for $95 EURO($115USD) so its a little cheaper, and I'd feel the orbit clock is more of an attractive piece to have in the house. To each their own I suppose though.
Or, you're using a Mac, you can download the Dashboard Widget version...

Who wants to buy? ---> www.PongClock.com
OMG... i hope that clock doesn't play that horrible music super loud!
what a crappy soundtrack. sooo.... does it make noise? that would be incredibly annoying.
i'd expect to pay like $60 for that, and make the pong playing smaller, and the scores larger. i dont care about authenticity.
It's a great idea, but I've got the screensaver running on my 20" iMac...why would I want this tiny little screen, and why would I pay so much for it?
This is actually a lot cheaper than I had expected. A bit smaller, too, but definitely not priced like some other designer stuff out there. I honestly was expecting something a lot closer to four figures. That vacuum tube clock is a nice piece as well.
Is it just me, or did they take the screensaver off their website? Oh well, good thing I already downloaded it. :D
