Play-Asia.com Voucher Code ($5)
July 8, 2008
Could anyone here make use of a Play-Asia $5 off discount voucher? The reason I ask is that similarly to my recent post about having a voucher for a free episode of Sam & Max, I now have a free Play-Asia voucher for one lucky reader that needs to be used before July 2008!
Play-Asia sent this voucher because I hadn’t logged into my account for a while - but right now I don’t have the time for any new games, so thought somebody else might find it useful.

July 6, 2008
Around a month ago I found that you could get Football Manager 2008 cheap on the Xbox 360, which was a real bargain at the time for the console version, but now you can get it cheap on the PC too!
Football Manager 2008 still has plenty of life left in it as the 2009 version probably won’t be coming out till at least October time, Football Manager Live still has a tentative release date of summer 2008, but who’s to say whether that will make it out the door in time for us wanna-be football managers to keep busy with over the summer holidays?

July 3, 2008
It took me a while to decide upon getting a Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 4GB USB memory stick after my previous Corsair Voyager died on me after around 3 years of loyal service. This was mainly because there are so many USB memory stick out there to choose from, it took a while research what exactly was worth spending you money on, but I believe I’ve managed to find one!
It’s encased in a very solid-feeling titanium casing which not only seems robust, but also looks rather smart too. I found the rather innovative sliding mechanism of the actual USB interface to be a really good feature because it means you’re not going to (inevitably) lose the cap as with many other standard USB memory sticks. However, I don’t know about you, but give me something like this and I will tend to fidget with it all day - which I often do if it’s sat on my desk and not plugged into the computer! 
Swiftcover Review
June 24, 2008
Would a Swiftcover review be of use? I’ve been meaning cover the issue of cheap car insurance online for a while now as I’ve spoken to people who dismiss the notion of using the Internet for obtaining car insurance quotes and entirely renewing their car insurance policy online.
I’ve been using online car insurance companies for the past 3.5 years to set up my annual car insurance renewal with Lloyds TSB, Elephant and now Swiftcover.
I’ve found that it’s rather easy to set up a quote with Swiftcover that includes exactly the specifications that you require, this means that you can modify the policy to remove certain parts of cover such as increasing the minimum excess to reduce your insurance quote as I did.

June 10, 2008
I recently installed the latest version of the Google Maps download for a mobile phone / Blackberry onto my new HTC Tytn II Windows Mobile handset and have been further impressed by how well this free piece of software works and how useful it actually can be.
I previously had an Orange E650 (a branded HTC S710 Vox handset) which ran Windows Mobile 6 and as such I installed Google Maps on that, however I must admit that I never really used it due to a combination of slow data speeds (it wasn’t a 3G device) and the fact that the data usage charges on my tariff were quite expensive.

Have you seen these Star Wars Character USB memory sticks before? When I first saw these ‘Star Wars Mimobots’ I thought they were just a little novelty item that somebody had faked in photoshop or something, but you can actually buy these!
Mobile Phone News Reader - Viigo
June 1, 2008
I recently started using Viigo, a mobile RSS Reader which I installed on my new HTC Tytn II Windows Mobile-based smartphone/PocketPC. Viigo is a similar application to Mobispine which I’ve used in the past to keep up to date with my favourite websites and news feeds while on the move.
Viigo’s primary purpose is also to provide people with a way of accessing content with reduced data usage on their mobile phone/device and therefore reduced costs!

Play.com Voucher Code (5%)
May 28, 2008
I was browsing around looking for a cheap bargain the other day and found a great Play.com voucher code on offer for anyone who is looking to buy from the online store Play.com in the next few days.
You can use the following voucher code (when paying for your order) to get 5% off a single purchase with Play.com and it has no minimum or maximum spend limit imposed on this offer. The only thing to bear in mind is that the voucher apparently expires on 31st May 2008.
(UPDATE: It’s now after that and it is still working - so give it a try for yourself!)

May 27, 2008
After inheriting a cheap Nintendo DS with “Mr Myagies Brain Breaker” (long story, wont boar you) I set about trying to find myself some cheap games that I actually wanted to play. “Easy task” I thought, “The DS has been out for ages” I said, “cheap second hand stuff will be kicking about everywhere” I told my missus.
How wrong could I have been. Even the dodgy second hand stuff from the dreaded eBay was gonna cost me at least 1 nights beer money. There had to be a solution!? Ok it’s an old solution, but make sure when you do buy a game that it is one of the Nintendo DS’s top games!
