»Intec Pro Gamers Kit

I’m sure you’ve all
seen these cases in Funcoland or Gamestop. They’re pretty huge and
ugly, but they’re tempting to buy. It comes with a bunch of stuff and
it doesn’t always come with the best stuff. Read through to see my
impressions on the included equiptment.
Safe Screen
The screen protector that comes in the Intec kit really isn’t as high
end as some of the other ones I’ve used. The screen doesn’t get washed
out much at all, but getting it on is a real pain the ass. I’ve never
had as much trouble trying to get bubbles out of a screen protector
than this one. The squeegee they give you doesn’t seem to do the job,
but it’s probably the screen’s fault. It didn’t seem to stick well.
Game Buds
The retractable Game Buds are pretty cool. I couldn’t figure how to
roll them up right away and I don’t think I could explain how. You pull
at them from one end and it just seems to detract itself. The
headphones seem to come apart pretty easily and the sound isn't really
the best quality.
Car Adaptor
The car adaptor is just like any other Car Adaptor on the road, except
this one is made especially for the PSP. It says you should have the
PSP off before plugging it in to charge, so be forewarned. The
instructions are simple enough and pretty self explanatory. Plug, if
the charge light comes on, you’re good to go. When it’s done charging,
the charge light will go off. It’s Simple.
Game Case
I was kind of disappointed that the kit only came with one of these.
The case is made out of a hard plastic and holds the games in there
perfectly. It does look more like a retainer case (I know we’ve all had
them) than a game case. With an all black exterior, it doesn’t draw any
attention to itself. I wouldn’t be afraid to keep this thing in my
pocket. It’s small, handy for carrying games and keeps them protected.
Safe Strap
The safe strap is a lanyard that is long enough to go around your neck.
If you’re really inept enough to need one of these – you should be
slapped already. I can imagine it’s pretty dorky to keep it around your
neck all day and pretty dangerous as well. I can’t really think of a
worse place than hanging around my neck for the PSP to be. It’s really
not safe.
Overall
The Pro Gamers kit comes with a few useful things, but at $30, it’s not
the best deal in the world. The case is a nice aluminum briefcase, but
it’s pretty impractical for a PORTABLE console. If you want to leave
your PSP at home and keep it protected, by all means, go for this case.
It’s a nice place to store all of the accessories you’ve gotten, but
other than that, I can’t really say there’s much use for the case. If
you’re going to buy it, the best things out of it are the game case and
the car charger.
