None of the above. My money will be put into the game not into ridiculous peripherals.

Would love to see a laptop skin, along with decals for desktop cases, and of course a mousepad.

I would like a laptop case/skin
How about a USB Hula Girl that shakes when your 'mech takes a hit?

[Thunderbird]

Heating underwear that follow your mech's temp.
Not only would that be great to increase immersion into the game, but I suspect there would be quite fewer laserboats around.

1) unit-specific IRL uniforms and flair, through a web apparel store (You can license the Battletech content from Smith & Tinker)
2) neurohelmets (decorative, of course you can use your own brainwave reading technology in conjunction for auxiliary functions)

Scale resin models of in game mechs. 3d prints of my own mech. Faction T-shirts, ball caps, coffee mugs, keychains. T-shirts with my own unit insignia left heart imprint and a MWO logout the back or reversed with my unit full imprint on the back. A Union drop ship model scaled to TT. A MWO hula girl for the dashboard of my car.

This sorta thing would be *awesome* - especially the models, the unit insignia shirt with the MWO logo on the back, and the hula girl. Hula girl most of all...that's gotta be one of the best ideas I've seen. XD

I'd like possibly a blueprint poster of at least a couple of 'Mechs - just 'cause I think that'd be awesome - and a MWO edition joystick. Even if it didn't have pedals, just the multi-purpose, double digit button joystick.

That wouldn't be good, either over-sweating, or pissin' yourself after an in intense battle, would surely short-circuit your derrier!

Would love a joystick, and also a mousepad, but only if the mousepad was of extremely good quality. I'm talking large, hard plastic/metal, and a slick surface. While a cheapo felt one would look cool, I'd only buy one that could replace my current mousepad.

[Gremlich Johns]

faction or MWO branded t-shirts, coffee cup, pint glass, mouse pad, bandana, knives, underroos, PJs

I'd spring for a cutoms full console or something similar to what Steel Batallion had.

Umm, how about a 1:1 scale fully functioning Catapult?

I'm surprised no one caught this one, but I'll toss it back. Buying merchandise helps fund the game's future content. Do you just want to send donations? Why not give a donation and *GASP* get a Tshirt or something for your generosity?

I voted yes to everything except the console. That's what your computer is.
Are we talking about products to franchise?? ok get ready. (some previously mentioned)

MWO clothing
MWO posters
MWO bumper stickers / window decals
MWO laptop stickers / sleeves
MWO iphone / ipad backgrounds / windows theme (talk to theskinsfactory.com)
MWO ccg
MWO backpack / lunchboxes
MWO mini model of a 'Mechs cockpit couch.
MWO miniature wind-up toy walking mech (with micro CD with intro video, etc... and game downloader)
MWO miniatures painted and unpainted, (I'll pay up to $20 each)
MWO Veteran 'Mech Pack = larger painted model (7-8" tall on turf or broken ferrocrete, etc...) with a data card. (I'll pay up to $50)
MWO Elite 'Mech Pack = Same model as Veteran pack but with more detail and/or better paint details, data card, autographed sketch or artwork sheet by Alex / author. (I'll pay up to $120 maybe even more)
MWO reprinted TRO for each major year starting with 3049.
MWO novel reprints and/or new material to fill gaps, authorized by FASA loremaster and canonized.
MWO new or revised simulator pods and more of them, with more location rotation. (Big PR deal and local news footage).
MWO theme pilot couch with arm rests and places to clamp down your joysticks and foot pedals, etc.. Maybe integrated surround audio.

what else.. what else... MWO cross sections. I'll pay up to $100 for a sweet cross section book of some popular 'Mechs, tanks, dropships, aerospace fighers, warships, dropships, mech factory, stuff we love but have never really seen the interiors of.

Each miniature has plastered across the front "INCLUDES COMPLETE PC GAME FREE" or something, to try to gain a new pilot.

[stabwest]

Yes, I can't wait for my official MWO t-shirt 2XL please.

[Redbear6]

Joystick for sure, cause for no other reason I will need one. especially if I don't have to program a new input device. (I'm lazy so what) if it comes with throttle control and foot pedals as well... if they help me play the game better, I can shell out some extra cash. Especially if the folks at Piranha and S&T are getting at least something kicked back.

[TheRulesLawyer]

Already have a good mouse/keyboard. A good hotas setup with pedals would be nice. Base it on something quality, k?
