New HiTechnic Sensor Multiplexer

I know a lot of you have been waiting for this product to release for some time, especially after HiTechnic themselves teased us with a few prototype pictures of the sensor. They did release a touch sensor multiplexer a few months ago, but what most NXT enthusiasts dream for is an easy way to connect multiple sensors and motors to the NXT brick at once.
It's now available for purchase at the HiTechnic website for $57.95 USD. The sensor allows up to 4 sensors to be connected to the robot while just using one port on the NXT. Go here to see the product page.

HiTechnic has also released a new version of the IR sensor, named the "IRReciever", which can be viewed here.
