Nyko Releases PSP Car Adapter

By

Nyko Technologies, a maker of iPod and PSP accessories, today unveiled a new adapter for charging a PSP while at the same time broadcasting its audio over a car stereo. The new Power Tuner for PSP looks to be priced at $19.99 and available now.

The Power Tuner for PSP, said Nyko, operates both as a charger and an audio transmitter for Sony’s handheld gaming device. Drivers plug the Power Tuner into a car’s lighter or power port and then into a PSP to give it power. The unit also uses one of three selectable FM frequencies to transmit the PSP’s audio through a car radio to the vehicle’s speakers. It comes with a four foot cable for easier placement of the PSP within the vehicle.

Valve won’t release a Steam Deck 2 until there’s a proper ‘generational leap’
Steam Deck over a pink background.

Don't expect a Steam Deck 2 any time soon -- or at least, not within the year. While Valve has confirmed that it's working on an official follow-up to its popular handheld console, it's against the idea of annual hardware releases.

In an interview with Reviews.org (spotted by The Verge), Steam Deck designers Lawrence Yang and Yazan Aldehayyat weighed in on the product's future. While they said they approve of competition in the space and how they can (and in some cases have) improve on the Steam Deck foundation, they're not going to follow the trend of releasing new versions with incremental improvements.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake: release date window, trailers, gameplay, and more
The prince kicks a sand monster.

Many people consider the peak of the Prince of Persia games the Sands of Time trilogy on the PlayStation 2 generation These include Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. After these games, the series only had two notable console releases, but neither really captured the same amount of acclaim as the prior trilogy.

After being essentially transformed into the Assassin's Creed series, many people thought the Prince of Persia franchise was dead and buried. However, Ubisoft isn't a publisher to let a franchise die and announced the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake in 2020. Obviously, things have not gone to plan with this remake as we still don't have our hands on it. If you're curious what is going on with the Prince, we will rewind time to tell you the entire story.
