Now that Thanksgiving is over, we're sure that a lot of you are already gearing up for Christmas. Even though it's the season of joy and, err, joyness, one can't help but feel defeated every time you have to take arms against the whole vanguard of the Christmas shoppers. Dude, they're like droves of pigeons flocking to tourists throwing out some bread crumbs at the park.

Anyways, that's why you've got to prepare yourself. You'd want to make sure that your time in the stores don't exceed critical time levels. Go in, get what you want, go to the counter, pay, leave. No time for dilly-dallying, no time for mulling over what you want to get for yourself or your family and friends.

Some people just have a fascination with skin. No, not in the perverted sense, but with regards to "looking different". Why does the Human Torch look cool hot? Because his skin is covered in flames. What makes Mystique stand out (and blend in at the same time)? Because she has blue skin/scales that let her morph. The Wicked Witch of the West is green. The Red Skull is red. The Simpsons are yellow. See? Skin!

Now who here doesn't want to customize their skin? No, not your skin, but that of your handheld! It's all about personality, right? You'd want to be sure that your own PSP or DS is identifiable from afar and you're able to distinguish it from those of your friends'.

Wrapstar is taking the lead in the whole skin-customizability race once again, and they're wrapping up for this coming Christmas. They're releasing a line of skins for your DS,NDS Lite, and PSP. Their products give you three benefits: 1) to express yourself and give your handheld some personality, 2) protect it from any minor scratches, and 3) it doesn't leave any trace or adhesive residue when you remove it from your device.

The London-based company Wrapstar is issuing a call to all creative souls out there since they are launching a competition. The creator of the most innovative PSP skin design will walk away with a free PSP, which will bear the winning design, as well as two game titles to play on it.
