Video Game Case : Beginning gamers will quickly learn that it's easy to scratch those discs you paid $50 a pop for. Guard against such mishaps by buying protective cases built specifically for your games.

Wireless Controller : Another lesson newbies quickly learn is that cords are a drag. Unless you want to change the layout of your living room by pushing your couch closer to the TV, you should check out wireless controllers, which grant you freedom to kick back on the couch on the opposite wall.

DVD Playback Kit : Both Xbox systems and the PS2, as well as the upcoming PS3 and Wii, are capable of playing DVDs, but the playback only works well if you've got a remote made specifically for the system. Get one of these babies and you can reduce clutter by ditching your old DVD player.

Game Repair Kit : In case you forget to pick up video game cases, you'll want to resurrect your scratched-up games with a repair kit. A minimal investment certainly beats going out to repurchase all your scratched-up games, like you might have had to do with your CDs back in the day.

Video Game Rack : Once your game collection grows so voluminous that the discs stop looking cute when piled in the middle of the floor, invest in a rack that will store your titles neatly.

Video Game Glove : Playing more than a few hours a week can lead to blisters. Gloves may look a little dorky, but they lend tendon support and help ward off blisters.

Dance Pad : You may look a little ridiculous hopping around your living room to the electronic beats of J-Pop, but that doesn't matter so much to rhythm game enthusiasts who want to get the most out of their pastime, as well as a solid workout.

Memory Card : Many game systems come with built-in memory storage. For those that do not -- as well as for gamers who'd like to bring their saves from one system to another -- memory cards are the only way to fly.

Video Game Chair : When you're spending hours on end busting through your favorite titles, you may as well go all-out and buy a piece of furniture geared specifically for gamers. Look for a chair that rocks and provides lumbar support.

Wheel Controller : A regular controller won't cut it if you're into racing games. Take the wheel for real with a controller that replicates a genuine vehicle design. Steering wheel controllers will give you an advantage in online play.

Video Game Carrying Case : If you love your gaming system so much you can't bear to part with it, lug the machine around in a carrying case. It's a wise purchase for business travelers who want to bring their Xbox or PS2 aboard aircrafts as a carry-on.

Gaming Magazine Subscription : Once you're into gaming, you learn quickly that the games you've got are never enough. You'll always be looking forward to see what the next big things will be, and a gaming-dedicated magazine will be helpful to you.
