HEXUS.E3 We bumped into Nyko Technolgies back at CEBIT 2006 where we found some gaming peripherals and accessories which we hadn't seen anywhere else - including the Xbox 360 22 in 1 card reader

They're back at E3 with a fine range of gaming goodies including the Multi reader 360, a 3-port USB hub and multi-format flash media reader that lets you instantly access photos, music and more.

It can read 4 different memory card types – Smart Media, Compact Flash, Sony Memory Stick and Secure Digital – and enables the transfer of content onto Xbox 360 from almost any source. Thumb drives, digital cameras, laptops… From iPods to PDAs, simultaneously connecting one or more of today's hottest electronic devices to your console couldn't be simpler.

Download jams or album art onto the 360 for easy storage. View pictures and listen to songs housed on memory card. Alternately, just chill with a little multiplayer mayhem – using the device, up to 4 wired controllers can be accessed through the Xbox 360's front. There is currently no release date for this product.

Nyko are also showcasing their snap on cooler.The snap-on Intercooler lowers operating temperatures by as much as 10°F (12.2°C),and will apparently add reliability and maximise the life of your console.

Increasing airflow throughout the Xbox 360, the Intercooler (which utilises your console's existing power supply and powers on and off automatically) requires no external AC adapter or hardware modifications. A fan-based cooling system keeps circuits humming along at optimal capacity and prevents overheating or – worse still – total meltdown. By drastically cutting overall heat output, the Intercooler 360 directly saves users time, money and untold aggravation.

Sleek and trim enough to fit into entertainment centers, it mounts on the back of any Xbox 360 and works in both horizontal and vertical positions.

Anyone know whether the Nyko Intercooler is 240V AC compatble?
If it's released in the UK, then it will probably be. Otherwise, you could import it and then buy a mains adaptor for whichever country you bought it from.
