The NDS Lite FM Radio Converter is a cool and compact Nintendo DS extension that adds FM radio to your gaming experience. Especially good for those moments where the game music is going to make your ears bleed. It’s easy to set up and has a blue-lit LCD screen built in to display the station number.

The FM Conterter has a frequency range if 87.5mhz-108mhz so most stations anyone wants to tune into can be heard from the comfort of your handheld console. It emits studio audio quality and doesn’t require any other battery or power source other than the power it gets from the DS itself. And it only weighs in at a light 19.5g. For a very affordable $14, it’s a cool addition. — Andrew Dobrow

After almost 2 monthes without a firmware upgrade, the PSP finally decided to release 3.30, an upgrade from the previous 3.11. Speculation for the long wait has been pointed at several reasons. One being that 3.11 kept the PSP handheld console secure through the long time period, despite the quick decryption, and also that compatibility issues weren’t popping up over PS1 downloads. We think that Sony has just had to much crap on their agendas, with the release of the PS3 in Europe, plus lagging sales in the US.

This firmware upgrade offers the usual security patch and support upgrade, plus a few extra debugs and goodies such as support for thumbnail images through RSS and the Video folder, as well as a added option under Network Settings to “Use Wireless Hotspot” and some extended video sizes. Pretty much all cosmetic changes rather then performance. Though be warned that the new video size options remain very beta-like and might lead to trouble. — Andrew Dobrow
