Space Invaders Headphones – Retro Gaming Noise Bringers

by Jay Garrett on December 26, 2008

si-headphones2So, you got a new iPod or iPhone from the fat bearded guy and you love the classic shoot-em up, Space Invaders?

How about if there was a way to show your love for the now retro coin-op via your choice of cans?

These Space Invaders headphones come in two different colour combos:  Black and white or pink, black and white.

You know how that I’m generally wary of remarking on the noise given out from ‘novelty’ noise-makers but these do look cool and will probably be no worse than the ibuds that come with Apple flavoured products.

Anyone that managed to get a pre-order in, will soon be receiving their set of headphones since they have already shipped out. If you’re interested in picking up your own it will cost you $25.90 from NCSX Shop.

From the people who brought you the flatpacked ghetto blaster comes a housing that will transform your humble hand held into a miniature arcade machine through the power of cardboard.
Great if, like me, you own a PSP and also still dream of owning a classic coin-op – all for under £8 for a pair!!

This was but a whispered rumour a few months back but more information is slowly filtering though.  It sounds like the game will be based on a powerful 3D polygon engine but the gameplay will be pure 3D.  The game will be released sometime next year and, quite frankly, I can’t wait!
More info as I get [...]
