Simply put, Snakebyte’s Premium Remote XL+ resolves pretty much all the major issues you might have with your Wii Remote Controller: MotionPlus is built in, it is rechargeable using a standard USB cable and a Sync button is on the outside instead of inside the battery case. But should you buy it? Click through to find out…

So many devices, so few power outlets. If you’ve been to an airport in the last three years you’ve likely noticed that – or even sought out – spots typically reserved for grungy vacuums are now lounging spots for tech totin’ travelers looking for an open wall socket.

That’s where Callpod’s Fueltank Duo portable, rechargeable battery charger can come in quite handy and allow you to find a less uncomfortable place to perch your posterior.

If you’re attending E3 2010 and looking for some stylish free stuff, then head over to Exspect’s booth in the West Hall. You can pick up a free USB bracelet with pink, white and black psuedo-space invaders all over it. It’s rubbery, and ready to store 128mb of your most important information.

Those who happen to pick up a flier can also return to Exspect for another special gift. If you check the back side, you can turn it in to get a Monsters vs Robots Joystick Junkies pendant. It’s a see-through, day-glo piece of yellow plastic that looks like a little monster. Necklace supplies are limited though

By now, many Xbox 360 owners have updated their systems and gained the ability to use usb flash drives as storage alternatives for their consoles. But the Xbox 360 usb push has only just begun. Starting May 5, 2010, Sandisk will begin releasing official Xbox 360 usb flash drives that are pre-configured and ready to work straight out of the box. You can use any usb flash drive with the Xbox 360, but other brands and types will require the user to configure them first.

Sandisk has announced there will be two variations, a $34.99 8gb drive and a $69.99 16gb drive. Both usb flash drives will also come with a one month Xbox LIVE Gold membership, and early adopters who purchase the drives directly from Sandisk will get a lanyard as well…

This update means you no longer have to worry about running out of hard drive space if you own an Xbox 360 Arcade or the discontinued 20GB Xbox 360. You can connect any USB flash drive to the console and store demos, saved games and full game installs.

Xbox 360 fans will be pleased to know that more save options, other than Microsoft’s Memory Units and hard drives, will soon be available. Joystiq has discovered that Microsoft is working on an Xbox 360 system update that will allow users to save data to USB flash drive storage devices. The update is expected to arrive sometime in Spring 2010, which means pretty soon.

The USB drive must be between 1gb and 16gb to work with the Xbox 360, and the Xbox 360 will have to format the device and perform a compatibility check to make sure it will work with the system and saved data. You will also be able to set up the USB drive to only use part of it for Xbox 360 related data, if you’d like.

As for what kind of data will be able to be saved to the USB storage units, well, it sounds like any kind…

Hidden among the many booths of big-name gadgets, electronics and myriad gear at CES 2010 there will also be plenty of lesser-known game-related products. CyWee Group, for example, will be there demonstrating its WiiMote-like game controller that works with PCs running Windows and Mac OS. And it doubles as a computer mouse.

Currently available for $79.99 (regularly $99.99) through the company’s web site, CyWee’s press release promises that the CyWee Z is a hinged, wireless motion-sensitive controller that “incorporates the latest in motion-sensing technology” and can be used in four basic configurations: straight and swung like a golf club, bent at the hinge and held like a gun or bent, held like a steering wheel or rotated and held like a futuristic jet plane.

This was originally going to a two separate reviews, one for the Opticon OPN-2100 handheld laser scanner and another the IntelliScanenr Mini handheld laser scanner. After using both with Collectorz Game Collector (and Movie Collector) software, however, I could not find any discernible differences in physical design or performance.

The main differences in the products are tiny cosmetics, the accompanying accessories and the prices.

Lenovo and NVidia are currently working on a new netbook and, from the description, there will be a lot to offer in this laptop for the gaming population.

Using the NVidia Ion graphics technology, Lenovo’s IdeaPad S12 is said to have enough graphics power for full 1080i HD playback and Blu-ray support as well as having a graphics processor powerful enough to be able to offer full HD performance for many of the newer games out there. This doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to support them without a problem since some of the specs are low. Then again, for a starting price of $449 you get what you pay for in terms of power.

Dream Cheeky, makers of wacky and cool USB-based gadgets, just sent an updated tip about four of the company’s upcoming Star Trek-themed USB (and one Bluetooth) devices.

There’s a pair of Communicators, an Enterprise-shaped web cam – ideal to use to communicate with your distant gamer friends – and even a Trek-ish photo keychain. The email also indicates that at least two of the devices work with Skype and two work with Mac as well as Windows.
