Nyko Releases New Xbox 360 and PSP Accessories
Source:
IGNNYKO, the well known gaming accessory manufacturer, has officially
announced the availability of a variety of new gear for the Xbox 360
and PSP. The three new accessories are available at retailers like
GameStop, EB Games and others beginning today.
Perhaps the most critically needed, the Intercooler 360 is a snap-on fan assembly that pushes more air through the
Xbox 360,
lowering the internal temperature and improving the machine's
reliability. A fair number of the peeps here at IGN have had to send
failed 360s back to Microsoft, so it would seem that cooling is a bit
of an issue. The Intercooler 360 sounds like a pretty simple fix. It's
powered by the 360 itself and shuts off when the 360 shuts down, or via
a manual switch. MSRP is $19.99.
NYKO's second 360 offering is the Intelligent Remote 360. The remote
will be able to command both the Xbox 360 and TV. The remote features a
learning capability that allows it to absorb commands when another
remote is fired at it, backlit buttons, and an auto power on and off
feature. Like the Intercooler 360, MSRP will be $19.99.
Finally for the PSP crowd, NYKO's new Charger Grip addresses two of PSP
user's most common complaints, short battery life and uncomfortable
grip. Inside the grip's handles is a
rechargeable lithium-ion battery
pack that NYKO promises can extend the PSP's battery life by up to 5
hours. The extra juice is consumed intelligently, topping off the PSP's
internal battery and then running dry; leaving a fully charged PSP
ready for action even after the Charger Grip has run down. NYKO's MSRP
for the Charger Grip is $29.99.
We'll be receiving review samples shortly, so stay tuned for the full reviews!
