With your PSP, you have a 1GB memory stick, but is that really enough given the vast capabilities of the PSP. A movie at descent quality resolution will easily fill 500MB on your Memory stick. We love this extra storage solution. The only thing that could be susceptible to getting damaged is the flexi [...]

This game isn’t your standard game where you run around blowing hands, arms and legs off baddies hoping you don’t get shot in the line of fire. With Nintendogs, you’re training your dog via your touch screen on your Nintendo DS.
This game is great for kids under the age of 10 that don’t have [...]

So you’ve just got your new Sky 160 box, yes the 160 stands for the 160 GB Hard Disk Drive, that’s right this Sharp box has 90GB extra.

400GB of portable storage is ideal for photos or music or even backing up your data. Firstly we would like to praise Seagate on the great back up software they have bundled in with this drive. It’s so easy to use and install. All you need to do is point it to the drive [...]

Who are Labtec we hear you cry, well again they are another cheaper brand, under £20 for a wireless keyboard and mouse. It is cutting edge technology but this £20 will be one of the best you’ll ever spend, they both look and have that executive feel to them and certainly look like they [...]

Cheap speakers you wouldn’t touch them right, especially when they’re under £15. We bought these speakers to prove that just because something’s cheap it doesn’t mean that performance or quality is affected.
First of all these are Logitech speakers so there’s the stamp of quality. As soon as the box arrived with these speakers [...]

Ok the wait is finally over The Video Ipod is here. But is it going to be worth the £299 for the 60GB version (150 hours video storage) or even £219 for the 30GB ( 75 hours video storage) Ipod. It has the high build quality and finish that we have come to expect [...]
