For those of you lucky enough to actually get a PS3 (please don’t hate me), Nyko Technologies has released its first round of accessories to help make your gaming experience even better. The items include:

• Dual Charger AC ($24.99) - The dual USB inputs allow two wireless controllers to simultaneously charge from a standard wall outlet. For non-PS3ers, it can also be used to charge any USB compliant device like audio players and cameras. Of course you could just use the ports on the PS3 with the standard 4 ft. cables, but that would mean sitting really, really close to the TV.


• HDMI Cable ($29.99) - Just for high-def junkies, this cable supports full 1080p video output. It doesn’t include a high-sniff adapter so you can smell the game, too.


• Charge Link ($14.99) - Another charger for the wireless controller, this one is really just a 10 foot USB cable targeted to gamers.

Holding handhelds is a problem if you’ve got big clunky hands like Lenny from Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men.  For those of you like Lenny - or those of you that simply have issues holding the slim device, you should check out Nyko’s new Charger Grips.  Not only do they make your PSP more comfortable, but they also give it an extra hour and a half of play time before running out of juice.  So next time your PSP gives you carpel tunnel, just think of how great it would be to have Charger Grips.
