One of the largest complaints from early adopters and critics of the PlayStation Vita is the battery life of the handheld not reaching much over six hours or so. The lack of an ability to access the battery in order to put in a larger and longer lasting replacement has also garnered some criticism from fans. However, five months after the launch of the portable console, Nyko has released a solution that's sure to satisfy those gamers that are constantly on the go: the Nyko Power Grip for the PlayStation Vita.
Earlier this year, game accessory maker Nyko released its PS Vita Power Grip, an ergonomic grip attachment for the PlayStation Vita from Sony. Not just an item made for comfort, the device comes complete with a built-in extended-life battery to allow the Vita to be played beyond the nine (or so) hours for which its own battery provides.
I have one and loving it. It takes a little longer to fully charge it than the PSV though.
Back in the 1980's and early 1990's, Nintendo had a slogan that stated "The power is in your hands". Never has this been more true in gaming than with Nyko's PS Vita Power Grip, an ergonomic grip for Sony's PlayStation Vita -- complete with an integrated extended battery for the portable gaming device.
I thought this thing was supposed to have retractable hand grips. I still might get it though if it really does double the battery life.
Nope. No retractable grips.
Looks like a boomerang
I thought they scrapped this amazing idea. I even went to their site two months ago to order one and i couldnt. I'll be glad to buy one when i can. It'd be very useful when i go camping... like using it as a batarang to kill deer.
Looks awesome i love it
