Small Screen But Big Sound
You could dock the PSP into one of those portable speaker setups, but if you're in the car, you might as well take advantage of your car stereo. Griffin's iTripPSP ($50) charges your PSP and connects it to any FM receiver. www.griffintechnology.com
Protected Portable
Securely strapped across your body, your PSP is safe and accessible in Logitech's PlayGear Street ($30). The tough polycarbonate shell protects three UMDs and four Memory Stick Duos while incorporating a headphone jack so you can listen to audio while the case is closed. www.logitech.com/playgear
Not Just For Kiddies
With a four-and-one-half-hour line just to get into its section of Nintendo's massive booth, the Wii (say "we") home console (to be released later this year) drew the biggest crowds of the show. We don't doubt the reason was due to its Wii Remote, a remote-control-shaped controller whose embedded motion sensors enable intuitive game control. www.nintendo.com
Let The Lines Begin
Come the end of the year, the clamoring for game systems will begin again. But instead of the 360, everyone will be lining up for Sony's latest, the Playstation 3. Slotted for sale in mid-November with a retail price of $599 (60GB HDD) and $499 (20GB HDD), it features a sensing controller like Nintendo's Wii. www.us.playstation.com
360 Is All Around
A high-performance surround sound speaker system to match the high-performance of the Xbox 360, the Pioneer HTS-GS1 ($499) brings the audio up to the level of the visuals. It consists of a 6-channel receiver subwoofer and compact speakers. www.pioneerelectronics.com
Racing Without Wires
With rumble and force feedback motors, the new Xbox 360 wheel ($TBA) provides added realism to games like Forza Motorsport and Project Gotham Racing, whose designers added input into the wheel's creation. The fact that it's wireless adds to its appeal. www.xbox.com
