Nyko drags Yo Gabba Gabba to CES, unveils PS Vita, Kindle Fire accessories
Nyko may be hitting Sin City's premier electronics trade show with a Yo Gabba Gabba! alarm clock in tow, but the outfit's PS Vita and Kindle Fire accessories are just a hair more enticing. First up is a Vita flavored follow up to Nyko's line of portable gaming battery packs, the PS Vita Power Grip. This $25 rechargeable battery pack promises to triple the battery life of your pocket PlayStation, and tacks on a pair of ergonomic controller grips, to boot. The outfit is also launching an accessory rich "Armor Kit" for the new handheld, an iPod-like speaker stand and a slew of assorted accessories ranging from USB chargers to game card holders. Kindle Fire owners will be happy to hear that their lightweight tablet is getting hit with the same assortment of accessories, including a speaker stand, an assortment of charging accessories and even its very own battery life-extending Power Case. You'll find the full press release after the break -- in case you really need to know more about that Yo Gabba Gabba! clock radio / charging dock.
Yet another 360 cooling solution: the XFan
If you're still deathly afraid of your Xbox 360 overheating, then we have a brand new solution for you. Introducing the Titan XFan, a device bulky enough that it's likely to make your power brick jealous. So, what makes the XFan different from the 360-melting NYKO Intercooler? Apart from its arguably more attractive design, the XFan uses the rear USB port for its power needs. The Intercooler, on the other hand, pulled its juice from the power port (which reportedly led to its 360-damaging problems). The XFan also includes a pass-through port that allows you to utilize the rear USB if you need it.Even with all these spiffy features, we're not exactly clamoring to get one. If you really want to keep your 360 cool, we suggest the simplest solution: plenty of ventilation. Still, if you just have to stick a 3rd party device onto your 360, you might remotely consider possibly thinking about maybe purchasing the XFan when it releases later this month.[Via TheXboxDomain.
