released a new addition to their “D” range, the D40x, and, as part of their 90th anniversary celebrations, they are offering a cash back of £60 on selected D40x kits purchased before 31/8/07. (more…)

Resident Evil 4 on Wii - Slashfest! 2007-07-18 08:52:35
The highly successful survival horror series has come to the Wii
with Resident
Evil 4. Now, in case you have been on Mars for the last decade, these games place you in the midst of crazed Zombies trying to eat your brains and it’s up to you to save the day by any means possible. You can shoot them, knife them, blow them up or, if you’re not up to the challenge, run as fast as your little legs will carry you and get the hell outta there! These games have been superb on all the other console platforms but the Wii adds a whole new dimension to the gameplay. (more…)

Flytech Dragonfly from The Makers of Robosapien 2007-07-17 11:29:42
Now this is what I call a lad’s gadget! Quite simply the most pointless gadget you could get yet at the same time it is sheer entertainment, and that’s all that counts in my book! We’ve all seen the old fashioned remote controlled planes and helicopters but this piece of kit delves into the world of nature for inspiration. (more…)

BT have teamed up with Setanta to offer live games and they also make available 242 recorded games which subscribers can view on demand a few hours after the match has finished (similar to Football First on Sky).

Bluetooth Watches from Sony 2007-07-16 11:59:04
Great news for all those watch/music/bluetooth/mobile phone fans out there! Sony
have announced that they will be releasing a new range of Bluetooth
watches which act as a “wire-free interface with your phone”. Basically this means that your new watch will be linked via Bluetooth to your phone and, upon feeling the gentle vibration the watch makes when a phone call or text is recieved, you will be able to glance at the watch’s display to see the caller details. Amazing! (more…)

Sky TV v The Rest 2007-07-15 18:35:29 Sky have been pushing their “See Speak Surf” campaign recently and it has worked well for them, adding 90,000 more subscribers in the last three months. They reckon they’ll have 10 million subscribers by 2010! This increase in subscribers is pretty impressive given the competition from Virgin Media and Setanta. I’ve had Sky for six or so years and on the whole have been pleased with the service. Sky + is a great piece of kit and I would be stuck without it now. Haven’t yet upgraded to HD but with probably do so soon, finances allowing. (more…)

Sony PS3 Price Cut in US 2007-07-15 12:03:30
It was announced at E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) that the price of that big lump of shattered dreams would be dropped by $100 in the US. It is still too expensive IMHO and only hardcore gamers are getting the console at the moment with most casual gamers going for the cheaper and more trendy Nintendo Wii. The X-Box, which had a good head start on the other next generation consoles, is also mopping up a significant market share. (more…)

Virgin Media & Setanta v Sky 2007-07-21 08:11:40
Just an update on the continuing battle between the digital tv companies here in the UK. It seems that Virgin
Media and Setanta
have joined forces for the time being with Virgin offering the Setanta channels for free with some of their TV packages. When you take into account the fact that Virgin offers an apparently cheaper Sky Sports (even compared to Sky themselves), this probably makes Virgin the place to go to watch sport.
Setanta have really sprung to the front in the last six months and it is the Premier League rights that make them attractive to the likes of BT and Virgin. It remains to be seen whether this deal from Virgin is as good as it appears but at any rate it is worth over £100 on the face of it. Check out Virgin Media for more on their packages and pricing.

Wenger Swiss Army Knife - Humongous! 2007-07-21 07:44:51
Hardly a pocket knife at 9 inches in width but nevertheless this is the Swiss
Army Knife
to beat all Swiss Army Knives. Named after the great Arsenal Manager (just kidding!) I imagine that this knife is intended for display rather than serious use. Made in Switzerland, as you might expect, it has 85 fully functional implements and is said to have over 100 functions. (more…)

Back To Brando USB Madness 2007-07-24 09:46:39

A Rootin-Tootin-Shootin 2007-07-23 09:28:33
Guns are bad, yet guns are good (in a non-lethal gaming sense of course!). A couple of gun related gadgets caught my eye over the last few days. The first is the Sharp-Shootin Remote Control available from Firebox. I guess the name is self explanatory - it’s a remote control in the shape of a gun. (more…)

and relates to sales before the recent price reduction of $100. Sony themselves say that the introduction of the cheaper unit has led to a 135% sales rise in the last two weeks. (more…)
