When you see a nice cheap product on Amazon or any other online retailer beware of the shipping and handling charges. This HDMI to DVI-D converter goes for a paltry £2.59 but then attracts a hefty £11.08 from the reseller. I can’t pretend that I didn’t notice it on the […]

The postman called this morning with a very welcome package. The iMP 4 in 1 Multi Component AV Cable Xbox360/Wii/PS2/PS3 I ordered last week finally arrived. After spending weeks trying to get a similar cable from Play Asia and Devineo I hurriedly plugged everything in. This cable allows you to […]

Bah! Frapz spammed me!
I received a friend request from an oddly named character on Xbox Live the other day. Looked something like wwwwfrapzcouk with some odd characters thrown in here and there. They then spammed me. Grrr. Rather embarrassingly for them, their website isn’t even set up correctly: Friend removed, and complaint lodged. […]

Gears of War 3 trailer and brief analysis
Gears of War 3 Trailer thegoldglove07 provides some analysis on the new game. I have both Gears of War 1 and 2 and loved the single player game in each. I haven’t played them multiplayer though and apparently GOW 2 had serious problems. I didn’t get particularly far in either […]

iMP 4 in 1 Multi Component AV Cable Xbox360/Wii/PS2/PS3
My quest for a component switcher cable continues. Play-asia were totally unresponsive and then so were Divineo.co.uk so I’ve ordered the iMP 4 in 1 Multi Component AV Cable Xbox360/Wii/PS2/PS3 from an Amazon.co.uk reseller. It’s almost half the price again of the XCM cable I had ordered from Divineo. Needless […]

OK, it’s after midnight, I’ll be up early, this is a quick post about the great couple of Bad Company 2 rounds I played with David tonight. Some of the rounds were evenly matched but others were totally lopsided. Both for us and against us. We both got lots of […]

PS3 text chat to communicate with your team in Bad Company2
OK, so the Xbox has a handy private voice chat feature. You can use that feature to communicate with your entire team in Battlefield Bad Company 2 on the Xbox. The PS3 has a voice/video chat feature but it doesn’t work when you’re in a game. It does have a […]

Searching for Ken Burton
The search for Ken Burton on the Xbox 360 continues (by some). I received this strange message yesterday by someone who friended me on Xbox Live (his friend added me too for reasons that are all too apparent now). Is there a search for Ken Burton’s gamertag on? Surely it’s […]
