Yesterday we hit you with our MacBook Air unboxing video, giving you a look at the SSD version of the notebook. Today, we bring you our unboxing video and demonstration of the MacBook Air SuperDrive.

As you probably know by now, the MacBook Air doesn’t include any sort of optical drive built-in to the unit. While the Remote Disc feature is nice, sometimes you just want to have a dedicated optical drive. I’d hate to install Vista in Boot Camp using Remote Disc, if that is even possible. For what it’s worth, we think this is a worthy purchase to go alongside your MacBook Air notebook. You just never know when you’ll need it.

The Messenger Kit has been hyped for months now, and it finally hits stores on September 4, 2007. The Kit includes the much anticipated Xbox 360 - a QWERTY keyboard accessory that snaps onto an Xbox 360 controller - along with a newly redesigned Xbox 360 headset. The new headset features a simple audio connector, with the mute and volume switch located on the wire itself - much more user friendly, and it looks better too. If you are tired of all the mundane typing that it takes to enter redeemable codes or to write quick messages to friends on the Xbox 360, this is definitely one to consider. We were able to get our hands on a Messenger Kit pre-launch, and have put up an Unboxing gallery giving you a look at both pieces of the package.

It also has an internal weight and padding on the underside to keep it from tipping over or sliding around on your desk. Get a look at the Belkin USB Plus Hub in the video.

We know how much everyone loved our SLEEPTRACKER Watch review, so we made sure that when we heard about the Axbo SLEEPPHASE Alarm Clock, we got our hands on it. The SLEEPPHASE Alarm Clock works in conjunction with wireless bracelets which can be worn by two people, with the aim of waking you when you are in your lightest phase of sleep. The end result is that you wake up feeling refreshed instead of tired. We unbox the SLEEPPHASE Alarm Clock in this episode of Unboxing Live!

In this episode of Unboxing Live, we give you a first-hand look at the Wicked Lasers Spyder II Series blue laser. This is one powerful beast, so it should only be in the hands of those on the side of good. No evil-doers allowed. That said, this laser is one of the most magnificent we’ve ever seen. Pricey too. Check out all the details in the video.

Tired of having to rely on the spotty WiFi connection we had our connected to, we decided to go with a tried and true wired connection.

Take a look at the Datel Wii LAN Adapter unboxing gallery, and feel free to let us know what you think.
