April Fool's Joke Gone. . . Right?

Think Geek advertised a "Personal Sound Track" t-shirt featuring "a working speaker embedded into the front of the shirt. When you push the appropriate button on the pocketable remote you get music or sound effects appropriate for any situation." Their users reported that "their lives were 143% more exciting than without the shirt."

It allowed the wearer to select from sound effects (cheering, booing, crying, rimshot) and event music (entrance, sad accident, scary, thinking, etc...).

This was not a real product; it was an April Fool's joke. But they got so many responses for the product, they've decided to try and make one!

As noted though "Also although we'll try to keep the Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt as close as possible to what you see here, the final version might deviate slightly in appearance, features or price. Capiche?"
