Optek Music Systems Fretlight FG-431 Vintage Electric Guitar

Posted 10/02/2007 at 12:13pm | by Perry Mosdromos

Touch it, love it. The guitar gods compel you!  Sliding around the living room in your underwear with a hairbrush for a microphone might be cool…wait, wait, wait…that was never cool.

Clockwise from top: Lubix UBHS-NC1, iSkin Cerulean F1 earphones, iSkin Cerulean TX Bluetooth transmitter (sold separately), and Lubix UBHS-LC1. Thanks to Bluetooth wireless technology, you no longer have to be tethered to your iPod or iPhone. Lubix’s UBHS-LC1 and UBHS-NC1 are Bluetooth headsets you can use with the iPhone, while iSkin’s Cerulean F1 works as either a Bluetooth iPhone phone headset or as Bluetooth headphones for an iPod equipped with a Bluetooth transmitter.

X-Arcade Tankstick

Posted 08/23/2007 at 11:03am | by Matt Osborn

The Tankstick puts old-school controllers like those at left to shame, both in size and capabilities.  You call yourself a serious gamer - but what are you doing fumbling with keyboard controls and a mouse? You can’t call yourself a serious gamer until you get a nice game controller. If you want to let everyone know you’re really serious, then get a Tankstick.
