If you are anything like me, you have likely applauded Nintendo for the invention of the Joy-Con. Two together makes a full, regular sized controller, but on their own they can quickly provide flexibility by allowing two players to play instead of one. It is an ingenious bit of technology that makes the Nintendo Switch compatible for two players, right out of the box. But let's be real, if the opportunity was available, and funds unlimited, everyone would purchase 4 Nintendo Pro Controllers and be done with these Joy-Con controllers all together. Sadly, at ...

Read MorePixel Pals Continue to Roll Out with More Licenced Products
Just when you thought the people over at Performance Design Products would run out of ideas and licence deals for Pixel Pals, they slam you with more, increasing the variety of characters already available. This time around, it was a box full of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) figures, all in great detail, and all prime for the taking by my kids. Good thing I ordered high shelves for all these figures, because they would be long gone if my kids could reach them.
Read MorePDP AG 6 Headset Review
Performance Design Products has released a number of headsets over the last few years, and to date, none of their recent products have compared to the outstanding AG 9+ they released a few years ago. That's not to say their other products are bad; far from it, as PDP always releases quality products that customers are bound to love. With my AG 9+ reaching the end of their life cycle - over hundreds of hours of use mind you - it was time to look at something else from PDP. Enter the PDP AG 6 Headset. Will it replace my older pair? Let's take a look!
Read MoreWith Master Chief, PDP has 2 of the 3 Video Game Giants on Board
The Master Chief Pixel Pal from Performance Design Products will be available to preorder soon from Walmart, Best Buy, and GameStop / EB Games on 08.08 and when the figure itself launches on 09.12, PDP will have officially made partnership deals with both Nintendo and Microsoft for their Pixel Pal lineup of collectibles. We all know that PDP has a great relationship with all of the big three, as is obvious by their plethora of Officially Licenced products for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Playstation 4. But today we are talking about Pixel Pals, and after ...
Read MoreMore Switch Cases coming from PDP
Earlier this year, when we unboxed and reviewed our Nintendo Switch, we also looked at a pile of accessories from Performance Design Products. One of our favourite items - outside the Elite Player Backpack which is phenomenal! - was the Nintendo Switch carrying case, which at the time was themed in multiple ways: The Legend of Zelda, generic Mario, and a charcoal gray, classy looking case. PDP is adding another theme to their lineup of cases: Mario Kart!
Read MorePDP Lancer Video Review Courtesy of Danny Petsis
For many of you, Danny's name will be familiar as he did a number of indie reviews for us over the past few years. Danny's now running his own blog and YouTube channel and we will be linking a number of his video reviews here on the website. Today, Danny is giving us his take on the 1:1 Replica Lancer from Performance Design Products!
Read MoreWhy “Officially Licensed” Matters
Right around the time of the Nintendo Switch launch, you will remember the reedit post from dBrand claiming that ALL skins put on a Nintendo Switch product would ruin the Switch itself. Through some testing of our own - as well as some very informative videos from Performance Design Product - it was shown that this wasn't the case all the time. PDP prides themselves on producing officially licenced products from gamers around the world, and if this scenario taught me anything, it was that "Officially Licenced" really does matter.
Read MorePDP Gift Guide 2016 – Controllers
After the very successful launch of the Afterglow PDP Wired Xbox One Controller, Performance Design Products has gone above and beyond by taking that great technology and craftsmanship and masking it in designs and themes that consumers love. Previously, we have seen PDP launch a Mirror's Edge controller that looked great, but they have since partnered with many other companies to launch even more exciting products.
