Third-party peripheral manufacturer Nyko is currently at CES (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/ces) showing off its new wares for early 2008. Though we've seen some of the stuff like the Wireless Wii Nunchuk before (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/07/nykos-wireless-nunchuck-prevents-deadly-entanglements/), we've now got details and pricing. A Nyko representative informed us that every item but the guitars should be out in the first quarter of '08 (before April) -- the guitars should be available in March or April.
Wireless Nunchuk: Two AAA batteries (included) supposedly give 30 hours of gameplay; suggested price of $30.
Xbox 360 Charge Base: Reminiscent of the Sixaxis charger redesign (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/13/nyko-introduces-new-ps3-controller-charger/), suggested price is also $30.
Frontman wireless guitars (Wii and PS3): Frontman for Wii is fully compatible with Guitar Hero III and the PS3 version is compatible with Guitar Hero III and Rock Band. PS3 and Wii guitars will be $60 and $50 respectively.
PSP-2000 Charger Grip: "Ergonomic grips" with built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that should last 10 hours for $30.
PS3 Zero Wireless Controller: Up to 25 hours with rechargeable NiMH battery with motion sensing and vibration. Suggested price of $60.There are more products being introduced, which you can see on Nyko's website (http://www.nyko.com/); check out the gallery below for life-like images you could almost reach out and grab out of your screen.*
