BluWave Remote Control And ChargeBase Bring Enhanced Control and Charging Solutions To PS3

Los Angeles, CA - June 21, 2007 - Nyko Technologies®, a premier peripherals manufacturer, has shipped two new PlayStation® 3 accessories to retailers nationwide: The ChargeBase, a SIXAXIS controller charger, and the just announced BluWave, an infrared remote control.

The ChargeBase provides gamers with a much-needed charging and storage solution for the PlayStation 3’s SIXAXIS controllers. The compact device can rapidly charge up to four controllers at once, and features an external power supply instead of USB power. Its efficient design allows users to store all four controllers in the same place, and it can be plugged directly into any wall outlet and situated in an entertainment center.

Designed exclusively for the PlayStation 3, the BluWave remote control allows users to effortlessly access movies and music on Blu-Ray, DVD, and CD. Poly-Urethane coated buttons provide a comfortable and durable way to control the Playstation 3’s multimedia functions.

“Both the ChargeBase and the BluWave demonstrate Nyko’s continued commitment to provide gamers with accessories that accentuate and enhance the feature set of all of today’s next-gen consoles,” said Chris Arbogast, marketing manager at Nyko Technologies. “These peripherals are necessities for any PlayStation 3 owner.”
