The last of Nyko's Big Three from E3 has hit the marketplace, and it's a doozy. The "Zoom Case" is, uh, well, it's a protective case for the DSi with, yep -- that's a gigantic camera lens attached to it. And would you look at that? Nyko saved up enough for a real-life model. She really helps to sell the image of a social networking enthusiast. Don't you think?
No, seriously, the Zoom Case "improves upon one of the landmark features of the DSi, enabling gamers to take higher quality images, which is perfect for the growing suite of social networking capabilities available on the platform," says Nyko marketing director Chris Arbogast.
Ohhh ... that explains it!

I also didn't specify she was hot, just that no amount of hot chick could make that camera look nice. I agree though, more hot than Asian for sure.

I think she looks hot, then again, that could just be the make-up

Man, that DS suddenly looks like some crazy James Bond weapon from the Connery era.
"Now James, you'll notice that this lens can be attached to your cigarette case when it's open for zooming in on your target, but it also conveniently doubles as a shot glass and a laser pistol."

I'd like to get some use out of that little camera. Maybe it'll be useful if it's an eyesore. I'll take 30.

Really? That thing will let you take "higher quality images?" How? Attaching even a really nice lens to a crappy camera still leaves you with a crappy camera with a nice lens on it. There is nothing that could improve the quality of the DSi camera.

Nyko is my favorite third-party brand, but I'll pass on this.

If I were to buy this (which I am not) I would not even want the case, just the lens. Even then, I would want a collapsible lens not that big piece of bulk.

How does this do anything but waste money? It's not going to improve the crap low-res camera, only allow you to take low-res pictures from a distance.
Oh, wait, NYKO. They rarely make useful things. And what few useful items they do make, such as their multi-disc Gamecube game boxes, are released in limited quantities and are next to impossible to find.
