This sums up my reaction

Would it be possible to make a version that isn't slices only, so that it could also function as a normal 3x3x3 and corners that can scramble? This is a great idea but the fully functioning version I think would become much more popular. I guess you would have made it if it was possible though.

That is really cool. Well done.

EDIT:
Woah, was about to bid on it on Ebay, before I noticed the $37 shipping to the UK. Ouch.

That is called the mix-up cube. It's been around for quite some time.

Yes, it is possible. However I didn't make that puzzle as its already been made by several others. It is currently available from Oskar Van Deventer here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/31732/. He named this puzzle the Mixup Cube thus why I call those moves "mixup moves" in the video. But this puzzle is much older then that. This concept was patented in 1985 by Sergey Makarov. See attached picture.
