Cheap Micro SD Memory Card (8GB)
July 25, 2008
How cheap are memory cards going to get?
Around 18 months ago I bought a 2GB Micro SD card for my Orange E650 mobile phone which cost me just over £20 at the time, I’ve now come to buy a memory card for my new HTC Tytn II mobile phone and found that I could get an 8GB Micro SD card for just £17.99.
This kind of storage on a mobile phone is huge! Think of all the photos and videos you could take/record, you could pretty much capture and document your life! Or you could take a lot of entertainment with you wherever you might go, think of all the MP3s or movies/tv shows in Divx format you could fit on a device with 8GB – that’s as much as many MP3 players including some iPods!

July 21, 2008
You can now get a USB VHS Converter, so that makes me ask the question - “Do you even remember VHS?” - Personally I remember sneakily taping a certain leg crossing/uncrossing scene and trying late at night to repeatedly rewind and play it without my parents hearing.
If your answer to the question was NO, then this is grown up talk, go do your homework! If your answer was YES, then you’ll know that my parents (and probably the next door neighbour) heard the horrendous stop, start and rewind whir that all video machines made. The switched on couple that my parents are, knew exactly what I was doing - I feel a little sick! Well that’s enough of me sharing, down to business!

July 20, 2008
Sony are set to release a new model of the Playstation 3. Instead of the cheap Playstation 3 40GB model now available, there will now be an 80GB model which will sell at the same price of £299.99.
Apparently the memory card slots and PS2 emulation will not be making a return on this new model, which is a shame. But I would have thought that this model will feature the new Dualshock Sixaxis controller that was released only a few weeks ago.

I’ve just seen that there’s currently a summer sale going on over at Gadgetshop, who was one of pioneers of gadgets shop around 10 years ago - I remember buying lots of “Hi-Tech Gadgets” back around 2000 - I particularly remember getting a Plasma Ball for my desk and missing out on one of the original large size ITV Digital monkehs!

July 11, 2008
My attention now turns to a free 3 sim card in what seems like a never-ending quest to find the best Pay As You Go bargain deal on the various mobile phone networks.
In the past I have never seriously considered the 3 mobile network because I was always under the false impression that you needed to be situated in a city to actually get any signal on the 3 network.
However, I was recently speaking to a friend of mine who has a mobile phone on 3 and he has recommended that I should definitely take a look at getting a free 3 sim card if at all possible, since their network coverage is usually much better than some other networks, specifically in our area the T-Mobile and Vodafone networks are a bit hit and miss - to the point there is no signal at all sometimes.

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!
