Welcome to the Features section of IGN Gear. Regular readers know that we typically stick to reviews, previews, and news about gaming hardware. However, now and again we hit on something special that doesn't fit into our normal categories. Said stories fall into this section. You'll find everything from ultimate console systems to reader rigs to looks at bizarre and obscure peripherals. Hell, you'll even find some non-hardware related but very entertaining pranks stories.

Feel free to contact us is you feel there is something of critical importance that you think we've missed. If nothing else, you'll get a smart-ass response.

Enjoy the stories and let us know how we're doing.
