Experience innovation with the Zero wireless controller for PlayStation 3. The Zero controller is an entirely new ergonomic design, built to maximize comfort for all players while providing a unique and stylish appearance. With full six-direction tilt functionality, the Zero is compatible with all PS3 software and control schemes. The Zero is powered by an included NiMH rechargeable battery that provides up to 25 hours of wireless gameplay. When necessary, simply plug the included charging cable into the PS3s USB port and play and charge the controller simultaneously or use the included AA battery pack. The Zero is the first controller to feature LED back-lit action buttons, heat dissipating aluminum panels and a hybrid metal-resin design. The Zero is the paramount in controller precision, design and engineering.Colors may vary.

REVIEWNice concept, execution failure.
I bought this controller when the price went down thanks to Deal of the Day. What a mistake that was. But it wasn't all bad. Let's start off with some good points of this controller. The feel of the controller is very much like the XBox 360 controller, with the triggers being triggers, concave analog sticks, and a junk D-pad (not really a pro, but I found it to be a bit better than the stock 360 pad but still inferior to the stock PS3 pad). It's definitely larger than the 360 controller as well. Other pros include a bundled rechargeable battery with an optional AA pack and a 10ft. USB cord for recharging, easily the equivalent of the 360 Play and Charge kits. The face of the controller has metal plating, keeping the controller cool while giving it a higher quality look. But that's only the look.

It's the downsides of the controller that really take this concept down. First, I found that the analog sticks aren't nearly as sensitive as the Sixaxis/DualShock 3. The left stick is serviceable, but trying to use the right stick in FPS style games became a headache. The "dead zone" for these sticks is very large, whereas the stock PS3 pad has almost none. I had to press the stick further in order to move the aim, and I found that it was near impossible to make small, precise movements for shooting enemies that were only a little bit off center. In other words: forget headshots. The USB dongle is large and the orange color certainly does not match the PS3's blue and green when turned on. Also, being a USB device, it's impossible for the Zero to turn the PS3 on remotely like the Sixaxis. My biggest complaint? The Zero became twitchy after three days of use, and wouldn't stop rapidly registering L1/L2 button presses. Repeated attempts to solve the problem, such as reconnecting it, removing the USB dongle, removing the battery, and even taking the controller apart and re-fitting the connections could not solve it. Because of this problem, the controller is pretty much useless now. Sigh.

I highly suggest you avoid this product.

Price: Check Pricing & Availability

Suggested Retail Price: $39.99

Coregamer's new Xbox 360 Core Case makes it convenient to carry your Xbox 360 over to your friend's house, apartment or dorm room. Share the incredible fun of this hot new game system -- the Core Case stores everything you need to enjoy the game. Best of all, you don't even have to unpack the Xbox 360 to play it -- you can connect it and begin playing directly from the case!

REVIEWFantastic, but don't drop it
I got this case because it seemed to have the most compartments for all of the accessories. I'm not dissappointed at all when it comes to the amount of space it givesyou, and how well everything fits. It really isn't that safe if you were to drop the unit on a wood floor or asfalt though. The padding on it is pretty insignificant and wouldn't really make a big difference if you dropped it. Doesn't look to be water resistant either but i havent been out in the rain with it to try it out. In all it's a fantastic case if you want to keep all your stuff organized and together in route to go somewhere. It looks like it was designed to be able to set up the xbox360 with it still in the case, but I wouldn't reccommend that seeing that the xbox needs keep cool. Hope this helps.

Suggested Retail Price: $15.00

Natural Nunchuk trigger combines with the functional innovation of the Nintendo Wii. Ergonomically balanced and weighted stylish gun attaches to your Wii remote. Provides Natural Shotgun Comfort. Maintains Natural Wii Innovation Motion. Secure and easy installation. Extended grip control for the rear analog joystick. Full access to all buttons and digital pad. Soft mounting brackets protects your WiiMote during gameplay.

REVIEWServes it's purpose
When the wiimote and nunchuck are in this, everything is accesable, and holds it securely. Might be a good alternative for the official 'zapper' when it comes out. My only complaint about it is the back part that holds the nunchuck. Doesn't it look adjustable? Surprise! It's not. I figured I could adjust it to a less severe angle. Fortunately, it's not that hard to -make- it adjustable. It's just held at that angle by two little tabs. Saw those off, thentighten the screws enough that it won't move much. I might need to get a bolt to go all the way through make it hold tight enough at my desired angle. Feels much more natural now. So, guess it's satisfactory. Price is a mite high, but it's well built. If you think the zapper should be more rifle-like or shotgun-like, this may be for you.

The Wii Racing Wheel is precision-built and carefully balanced for the best driving experience in gaming! Just attach it to your Wii remote and get driving.

REVIEWNeeded for wii racing games
This does not come with a remote, but you stick your existing remote in it to play games like need for speed. It helps out a lot cause you do not have to hold a tiny remote. The only problem I have is I have small hands and they cramp after holding this and trying to hit buttons at the same time with it.

Title: CORE GAMER 2-In-1 USB Power Link Cable and Bonus Audio Splitter
Price: Check Pricing & Availability

Suggested Retail Price: $6.95

Combines USB Power Cord with Data Link / Power Your PSP While Transferring Files Dimensions - 9 x 1.5 x 6.5 Weight - 0.5 lbs.

REVIEWIt works.
The device works fine. The cable is pretty small and light, and fits on my PSP carry case. Charging the PSP through that cable can take a long time though (not a problem with the cable, just not enough power through a USB connector I guess), but I was able to play while charging without any problems (although, it took about 3 hours to charge while playing). This is good if you always have access to computers with USB and you don't want to carry the power adapter.

The audio splitter allows you to connect 2 headphones to the PSP. Not incredibly useful for me (I thought it would split it into 2 channels L-R which would have been more useful for me. Not enough details on the product description).
