Nyko, a gaming accessory company, will soon be releasing a PSP case with speakers and all and truth be told, I am baffled. The case is made for movie watching, right? But if I’m out in public, needing to entertain myself for 90-120 minutes, I’m probably going to toss some headphones in as to not disturb those around me. I mean, come on! I’m not THAT socially challenged.

Fine. So maybe the case is for watching movies in the privacy of my home… where I have my tv, dvd player, and surround sound? I don’t think so, PSP. I’ll watch that one on a screen 5 times your size.

As far as I can tell, there’s only one reason I would use NYKO’s PSP case: when I’m with a few select friends, in an isolated area, with little else to do. In other words: when I’m camping.

If NYKO were on the ball, that’s exactly how they would market this new case. They would paint the outside green (so we know it’s for outside use), put a warning on it that says “not for grilling” and treat it as the camper’s #1 portable entertainment center.

I guess I need to write a letter…
