Nyko's new 3DS accessories are both excellent and horrible reminders of the way we live now.
First, a horribly frankensteinian alarm clock/charging dock/speaker system, the Play Dock. If you can dream it, it can be crammed into an alarm clock.
Next, the ill-named "Shock 'n' Rock," which combines a much-needed life-tripling battery pack with four powered speakers and boosted vibration feedback. 3D and it pulverizes your hands? This is reality. (There's a speakerless version as well—the Power Grip—but it's obviously not as boomtastic.)
And lastly, Game Boost, a quick snap-on battery pack for extra hour or two of juice.
No prices on any of these, but I'd guess $40 is a reasonable starting point for all but the Game Boost. [Nyko]

*$13 for 48 AA, $12 for 48 AAA, $8 for 20 AAA, $8 for four 9V batteries
DISCUSSION
Hum...I think it looks kind of cool but why have the screen open all the time? Does that serve a purpose? I wouldn't mind having a charging dock combined with something else already on my night stand. Plus, anything to cover up that HORRIBLE pulsing blue light would be greatly welcome.
