If there's one combination that we can all agree is great, it's two hydrogen molecules getting down with one oxygen molecule. H2O-yeah. One combination we're not so down with: H2O and electronics. The war between the two factions is ancient and storied, full of broken dreams (and motherboards). To help prevent such senseless violence, Atlantic is dipping their waterproof toes back into the consumer electronics pool with two new entries to their GameKeeper line: waterproof gameSEAL cases for both the Nintendo DS (Phat and Lite varieties) and the PSP, available now for $39.99. The PSP model can hold the console, 10 UMDs, two Memory Stick Duos, and charger; the DS model holds the console, 12 DS carts, 16 GBA carts, plus charger. GameSEAL, get it? It seals, like a case, but it's waterproof, like a seal. Clever.

That waterproof PSP case is useful. I do agree that about having spaces for memory cards too. :D

how necessary is a waterproof case?

[F9zDark]

Funny how they say hydrogen and oxygen molecules...

Gosh how stupid people are...

[metalspector]

Bahh, another pointless invention, what will they come up next? a case to keep your psp cases protected?

[the_eternal_dark]

Haven't we already seen a couple of waterproof bags for PSP/DS already?

i can now show my psp the depths of the ocean... this is so pointless

[F9zDark]

Albeit the stupidity, this does have a use...

For all those Navy SEALs out there that wanna bring SOCOM with them on their incursions into enemy territory :P

[PSPCulture]

I thought this was something to do with porn....

[drEDN4wt]

they should make it EMP proof. imagine your distress if you lost all your backups and downloaded porn after a nuclear strike.

[F9zDark]

Hah I can imagine some retarded kid taking this to the town pool, opening it up in the pool and wondering why he can't play his PSP anymore.

[felonyr301]

pretty useless for me and many others.

[philage]

Well, i think it looks ok actualy, packing everything you would need into one small waterproof case. I agree, the waterproof bit is not a necesity, but i would rather have it than not have it. It would be useful for carting all your gear round to your mates in a small orderly case.

LOL. I heard thats how you collect members from SEAL Team 6 :p


Actually this case has plenty of use now that I think about it. Anyone living in a flood prone area would want a case like this to protect their investment. Its only a shame that not all electronics can be waterproofed in this way for people unfortunate enough to be living in such an area.

Or if someone has their room in the basement, which may flood during a harsh rainstorm. Not that that is usually planned for (most often such basement floodings happen unbeknownst to the homeowner).

Makes sense as merely a storage case.

well i was living on a boat awhile back and had a gameboy advanced i woulda killed for a water proff case one of my best games fell in the sea water a couple of times still works tho >.< so if i was back on the boat i would deff pick up one of these

[bitsnpieces]

It's basically as philage and F9zDark says, this is pretty much just a storage case.

The waterproof is just added feature just to make it sound better, look better, and cost more. For most users, it won't be a necessity. But for some and many, obviously, it would.

But all in all, it's a portable storage case to carry all your PSP equipment safely and orderly.

And it does have two memory stick spots. Or at least I think they are.

Just between the two UMD's with the blue straps and the PSP. I think those are two memory stick slots to put them in.

I'll definitely be buying this once it's out in Australia and cheapens a little, or might have to order online. Mainly because it can carry that extra power plug which my current shoulder strap can't. But then again, we have pockets. So yeah, at the moment, love the shoulder strap. Just wish I was a little bigger to fit into it. Yes... I'm that small... >_>
