The crazies over at ThinkGeek.com are selling these Portal-inspired t-shirts for $99 each. Here’s the list of features from the product listing:

  • Electronic shirts simulate teleportation portals from the game Portal
  • Each shirt features a wireless 5.8Ghz pinhole video camera in the front
  • Embedded TFT LCD screens in the chest area of each shirt simulate the portal
  • The camera from one shirt transmits the image wirelessly to the other, and vise versa
  • Each shirt is powered by one 2190mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack stored in the included belt-pack
  • 1.5 to 2 hours continuous run time, 4.2 hours recharge time
  • All electronics are completely removable to enable shirts to be washed
  • Wired composite video input allows you to play video games or movies on the shirt screen
  • Shirts must be purchased as a pair to work properly
  • GLaDOS Promises a coupon for free cake will be included with each shirt purchase

Free cake!? Sign me up!

Yeah right. $99 is way to expensive for a t-shirt, especially one that has a weird bulky chest that looks like you’re trying to smuggle porno mags from a convenience store. Kinda’ cool that you can hook up a gaming system and let people play stuff on your shirt, though.

  • Might have been able to disguise the screen better if it were a hoody since they have a bit more padding to them. Cool idea though.
    What would happen if the orange dude went through the portal on the blue guy's chest? o_0

    Like the cake, unfortunately, they are a lie.
