“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” hits movie theaters this Wednesday. To celebrate the release of the movie, Performance Design Products (PDP), an industry leader in designing and manufacturing peripherals for all major video game platforms, partnered with Hasbro to developed a line of Transformer video game accessories for the Nintendo DS.

Autobot and Decepticon supporters can choose a Bumblebee or Megatron stylus and armor for the Nintendo DS. Each stylus can be purchased separately for a suggested retail price of $12.99 or bundled with its respective armor for $19.99. The products are anticipated to hit stores this week.

Earlier this year, PDP and Hasbro agreed to a multi-year, international license agreement that allows for the creation of a new line of video gaming accessories and products.

An old friend of ours, DJ Fillmatic, was able to review the Razer Sphex Mouse pad & laptop sleeve. Here is his review:

So I was chatting with Razer|Grl the other day and she said “Hey Fill, we have a new mouse pad called the Sphex” I said “Oh really?” she then said “Yeah, I’ll send you one to try out.” Lo and behold, a couple days later UPS knocks on my door and the driver says “This is for you.”

Now I’m thinking “how does he know this is for me?” Driver turns out to be a gamer, the box says Razer on it, I’m wearing a shirt that says 1337 on it when I answer the door. Anyway I get this big box like “This is a huge mouse pad.” In true kid like fashion I immediately opened it before even walking back in to the laboratory. Turns out Razer|Grl sent me the Sphex and 17″ Razer Gear Laptop Sleeve (awww, she remembered the size of my laptop without even asking.)

So I pulled out the sleeve, read the Certificate of Authenticity, suspended my laptop and put it in the sleeve… Like a glove. Ballistic nylon goodness with shock absorbing interior. On top of that, nothing says “I’m going to frag you” to people before you even open your laptop like the Razer logo on the sleeve. I mean what more can I say? It’s a laptop sleeve, it fit my laptop, it does it’s job. Thumbs up.
