Press Release
Redlands, California, USA – August 22nd, 2007 – Messiah Entertainment, Inc. announces the Darklite™ product line today having developed two new specialty products for use with PlayStation®3. Darklite technology integrates lighting within a product to add functionality and create ambience in a dark living room. The two new products announced today represent a leap forward into next-gen accessories for Messiah Entertainment, which had previously focused exclusively on classic gaming since the company’s beginning in 2004.
Darklite™ DVD Remote is an ion-lithium powered DVD/Blu-Ray™ media remote for the PS3 featuring bright backlit buttons for visibility in the dark. The ultra-thin remote opens and closes much like a sliding cell phone and includes a Charging Station. The remote’s jet black appearance with high-gloss parts and a chrome trim mimic the look of the PS3. A smooth Control Ring and Center Button on the top of the remote allow the user to select primary DVD/Blu-Ray™ functions and make menu selections. With the remote slid open, advanced secondary buttons can be pressed to access the option screen, display screen, chapter skip, and more.
Darklite™ DVD Remote retails for $29.99 USD and becomes available September 25th, 2007.
Darklite™ Integrated Lightbar is a vivid lighting product for the PS3 that creates a unique atmosphere in the room while playing games or watching movies. The Lightbar connects to the back of the PS3 and can be set to Auto operation, which will turn the light On and Off with the PS3. Always On and always Off modes are also present. Six super bright LED lights give off a stunning blue light that make the PS3 stand out among your electronics. Precision high-gloss black parts and chrome styling form one seamless design when the Lightbar and PS3 are connected. The light beam can be aimed at various angles and brightness can be adjusted from high to low. Darklite™ Integrated Lightbar retails for $29.99 USD and becomes available September 25th, 2007.
