Cyber Smash Grip Add-on Turns Wiimotes Into DualShocks

Despite the supposedly game-changing motion controls that the Wii brings to gaming, a good portion of AAA games use the Wiimote in the more traditional controller sense. How do you make the one-handed controller more comfortable for two handed play? By shoving it inside a body that adds an "analog" stick and two DualShock-like grips. And when you're done making Snake do sexy things to Samus, it comes off for easy storage. [Cyber Gadget via Impress via Nintendo Wii Fanboy]

Latest by poedgirl: When I first saw this I thought it was a replacement to the nunchuck of sorts. I thought it would have an actual analog stick and shoulder buttons and just plug into the port at the bottom of the Wiimote. more »

Guitar Hero On Tour for Nintendo DS Controller Revealed

Turns out all those crazy Guitar Hero for DS renders were just about as crazy as the official add-on, with German gaming mag N-Zone.de showing off the wraparound controller in all its glory. It attaches to the back of the DS and has a hand strap so you don't drop the thing while hitting the notes on the right side (with your left hand). You hold the DS like a book and hit the four (not five) frets with your left hand fingers while strumming the touchscreen on the right, giving it as close a "Guitar Hero" feel as you're going to get on the DS. Will you be able to flip the attachment over to the left side in order to do lefty mode? Not sure, but check it out in motion after the jump.

KontrolFreek's FPS Freek Controller Add-ons Make Thumbstick Aiming Easier

KontrolFreek, the company that made the SpeedFreek add-ons to the Xbox 360 controller that we reviewed last year, has a new accessory coming soon called the FPS Freek. It's essentially a snap-on to your controller's thumbsticks, which lengthens them and makes small adjustments in aiming easier. Why is this necessary? IGN Gear says the first 20% of the range of motion is the hardest because of spring resistance, which makes small tweaks to aiming especially difficult. More »

Latest by n/a: It would be better if they extended them 3ft and I could bolt the controller to the floor. That way I can look like I am driving a tank. more »

Even though the Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on is discontinued, you didn't expect Microsoft to just give them away, did you? You did? Well then, this $49.99 liquidation price tag should be extra surprising to you. [Xbox - Thanks Daft Punk!]

Dealzmodo: Xbox 360 HD DVD for $130 or $149

Or? Yes. Select Sam's Clubs are selling the Xbox 360 HD DVD drives for either $130 or $149, depending on where you look. We're not sure this is worth getting a Sam's Club membership for—especially if you're like us and already shop at Costco instead—but if you've already got one, hop on down and see. More »
