GAMETECH's Sound Shell bulks up your DS Lite, isn't worth the trouble

You know how rough it is -- trying to procure a couple of those Duke Xbox controllers for your man-sized paws. Thankfully, for folks such as yourself, GAMETECH's busting out the Sound Shell, which takes the apparently dangerously small DS Lite and gives it plenty of fat. Besides adding on a pair of sure-to-be-booming speakers to the rear, this thing also provides a nifty storage nook for your earbuds and a totally necessary kickstand. You could blow ¥3,200 ($30) on this, or you could look a whole lot more hip by just picking up a similarly beefy Game Boy and kickin' it old school.

Next time I go home, I'm grabbing my big, gray GameBoy and that big, gray Tetris cartridge. Still the best game ever made.

Definitely a chubby chasers gadget...

it is kind of ugly but i think it is a good accessory. the ds is very uncomfortable to hold... usually i can't play games longer than 15 - 30 minutes because it is so awkward. i think i've seen a different item like this but takes the shape of a playstation controller.

Is there some type of bug on engadgethd? How come I can't view ANY of the comments on the articles there?

What... No SUB-WOOFER? I guess I will have to keep waiting (sigh)

A kickstand?! I'm sure my stylus is going to love chasing that thing around the table.
