Books on the way out, Nintendo on the way in

Monday, December 1st, 2008

nintendo-dsNintendo are set for world domination with the DS. Not only do they already teach people how to speak different languages and help them stop smoking, they can now be used to read entire books.

The Nintendo DS will now be able to be morphed into an eBook reader with its 100 Classic Book Collection package. Among the classics packed in will be gems from Lewis Carroll, Shakespeare, and Dickens. But if they’re not your cup of tea, you can use the Wi-Fi feature to download something more to your taste. nintendo-ds-100-classic-book-collection-choose-book

You can find the list of 100 titles below. If you’ve thought ahead and decided that this would be great Christmas present for someone you know, think again. For some strange reason, this package is set to launch on Boxing Day - clever, hey?

It’s £17.99 and available for pre-order from Amazon. It all works out slightly cheaper than buying one of the £200 Sony e-readers but the thought of sitting on a train whilst trying to read an entire book on that screen makes just popping to the library to pick up a paperback a much more preferable option. What do you think?

100 titles available in the 100 Classic Book Collection:

  • Louisa May Alcott - Little Women

What to buy…teenage boys

Friday, October 31st, 2008

It’s time for another installment in our What to buy series. We looked at What to buy Dads last week and this week it’s the turn of another tricky customer…the teenage boy.

If you need inspiration, just take a look at these:

For the music lover - Everyone loves music. Get them an MP3 player and they can take music with themsony-nwza816 wherever they go. The top rated MP3 player on Reevoo at the moment is the 8GB iPod Touch. It’s currently around £100. If you were looking to spend a little less than that, the second highest rated player is the £70 Sony NWZA816 4GB. And for a complete bargain buy, grab some CDs. Prices start from as little at £2.

For the gamer - Why not go for a games console like the PlayStation 3 (£289)? If they already have a playstation3console, they might like a gaming chair (£100). It’s comfortable for extended gaming sessions and you can feel the action through it. It can also be used to listen to music and watch films. There are also lots of console accessories, like this PS3 charging station for £15. For smaller gifts, you could go for a video game (prices start at £2).

For Mr Sociable - A mobile phone so that they can keep in contact with all their mates. For a phonesamsung-tocco packed full of features, how about the Nokia N95 or N96? Or for a more classy option, how about the Samsung Tocco or the new iPhone? (All phone prices vary according to contract)

For the sporty ones - Some tickets to a football or rugby match will make a great gift. For something garmin-forerunner-405more original, why not try this Garmin Forerunner 405 (£169) GPS-enabled sport watch, which tracks your training and sends the data to your computer or for trips to the coast this fishing starter kit (£32)?

For gadgety types - A Wind-Up Torch with Mobile Phone Charger (£7) or some travel speakers for yourtravel-ipod-speakers iPod (£9).

And for the boy that has everything? - Give them this Sonic Bomb Alarm Clocksonic-bomb-alarm-clock (£24) - guaranteed to wake the laziest of teenagers.

All done. Pretty painless, just as shopping should be.

If you’re purchasing online, follow our top tips for online shopping this Christmas.

Wii won’t be around this Christmas

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008
Christmas_games_consoles


Just a quickie on what we might be fighting in shops for this Christmas - The old, familiar Wii Christmas shortage is back. US games retailer GameStop predicts the shortage unless Nintendo has a massive increase in supply in the next couple of weeks. It’s unknown as to whether this will lead to shortages here in the UK but we can use wii-consoles.co.uk to stay up-to-date on the situation.

But if you don’t fancy a Wii, both the Xbox and PS3 seem to be in plentiful supply…Check out the games console reviews to find out what people think about them all.




Brits baffled by technology

Thursday, August 7th, 2008
Brits_technology_wwwdecidewhattobuy

It seems us Brits are baffled by modern technology that was sent to help us. According to a poll of 2000 people (by the folks over at Reevoo), mobile phones, SatNavs and even TV remotes send us into panic and rage when we can’t figure out how to use them. In fact, a whopping 32% of people admitted to throwing a complicated gadget across the room when they couldn’t work out what to do with it.

Digital cameras were voted the most complicated with SatNavs and mobile phones close behind. Interestingly though, people are obviously happy to live in confusion with their SatNavs, as only 6% actually read the manuals!

More alarming is that the same numbers of us are as baffled by our laptops as our ovens (the nation’s health crisis suddenly makes sense now…). And people are more inclined to read their TV manual over their oven’s. Hmmmm.

And even when a device goes wrong, more than a quarter will try to fix it themselves, or even buy a new one, instead of turning to the instructions.

Here’s the full list of things we find complicated:

1.    Digital Camera - 26%
2.    GPS navigation    - 21%
3.    Mobile phone - 19%
4.    Washing machine - 18%

13.    Scanner - 11%
14.    Laptop - 10%
15.    Television - 10%
16.    Modem - 10%
17.    Oven - 9%
18.    Printer - 9%
19.    Answer machine - 9%
20.    Freeview box - 8%
21.    Broadband - 8%
22.    Sky - 8%
23.    Dishwasher - 7%
24.    Digital TV - 7%
25.    Hi Fi system - 7%
26.    Tumble dryer - 6%
27.    Iron - 6%
28.    Telephone - 6%
29.    Clock Radio - 5%
30.    Smoke alarm - 5%
31.    Electric timer - 5%
32.    Smoothie maker - 5%
33.    Alarm clock - 4%
34.    Blender - 4%

…and how many people bother to read the manuals for these items:

1.    I don’t read manuals - 46%
2.    Mobile phone - 19%
3.    Washing machine - 17%
4.    Television - 16%
5.    Digital Camera - 14%
6.    Microwave - 11%
7.    Oven - 10%

Nintendo DS now helping with languages

Monday, June 30th, 2008
Nintendo_ds

Well, first we found out that those helpful folks over at Nintendo were helping people to stop smoking. Now we hear that they’re helping Japanese students with their English too. A teacher at the Tokyo Academy for Girls has introduced the Nintendo DS into English lessons to help students concentrate.

The DS helps the students with their writing, listening and vocabulary but they are under strict instruction that all the machines must be handed in at the end of the lesson and no other games, apart from the English aid, are to be used.

Despite the lack of fun games, the students do seem to be enjoying the new method of teaching and they’ve even commented that they’re finding the lessons more interesting and engaging.

This is still a trial at the moment but what with all these new ways we’re discovering that consoles can help people (the Wii fit helping people to lose weight, the DS helping people to quit smoking etc.), who knows where the possibilities will end.

If you’re in two minds over whether to get a DS or not, try reading the Nintendo DS reviews first.




Stop smoking with Nintendo?

Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Stop_smoking_with_nintendo

If you were trying to stop smoking, would you turn to Nintendo for help? No? Well now, if you wanted to, you could.

It’s goodbye NHS, hello NDS as Nintendo DS will soon have up to 15 games to keep those nicotine cravings at bay. The games will be based on the battling addiction books by Allen Carr and will be set in environments where smokers find it hardest to resist the tab temptation, like pubs and clubs.

By entering details about your habit, your ‘personal coach’ will guide you through the quitting process. It will suggest treats to reward yourself with when you’ve had a good day and when you are finally free, you can even find out how much better life can be by measuring elements from your smoke-free lifestyle, such as walking up a flight of stairs without a lung collapsing.

It all sounds a bit strange to me and we’ll all have to wait until November for it to be released…and to find out whether it actually works.




Best boys toys come with a serious price tag

Bachelor_pad_2

It’s official. Women may like to spend money on expensive handbags and shoes but when it comes to the living room, boys shell out the most cash.

According to the latest research from Reevoo, kitting out a bachelor pad with huge plasma TVs, top of the range laptops, games consoles, high-end stereos and other gadgets puts the bill up to £4,678.97.

Reevoo looked at the highest rated products with over 30 reviews to compile the research. According to shoppers, the best wide screen plasma HD ready TV is the Panasonic TH50PZ70B which can be nicely accompanied by the top DVD recorder, the Sony RDR-HX510. Just these two cost over £1,500.

Every man’s need and desire to put as little effort into living as possible has been accounted for. There’s the Proline TTR 65 P mini beer fridge which can be plugged in right next to your sofa so that cold beer is only a short stretch away, the Hewlett Packard Pavilion DV9605 laptop, so you can check up on your stocks and shares while you’re watching the footie and an Xbox 360 Elite for when you run out of DVDs.

Other items to complete the perfect bachelor pad include the Philips HD7810/60 coffee machine, the Blackberry Curve 8310, and the Miele G1222SC
dishwasher
, so that you don’t have to get involved in any of that mucky washing up.

So girls, next time you get an earful off him indoors, direct him to this handy bit of research before you head for the shops.

Wii

It’s time for the indie games developers to show us what they’re made of. Nintendo have opened their doors with the confirmation that Wiiware will be launched in Europe on 20th May. Recently launched in the US, Nintendo hope that it will help developers get through the red tape that currently makes entry into the market a tricky business indeed. The new games or ‘channels’ are also hoped to target more of the ‘casual gamer’ market, one that has proved a big success for the Wii so far.

Laurent Fischer, Managing Director of Marketing & PR of Nintendo of Europe says "We hope that this opportunity and the inspiration to produce original and exciting games will allow developers of all sizes to bring new concepts, genres and game play experiences to Wii.”

So we can all look forward to some exciting new titles. They should cost around £3.50 or 500 Wii points. If you haven’t got a Wii yet and you quite fancy one, check out the Wii reviews from consumers at Reevoo. Jenny from Driffield reckons “This is the BEST and most fun I ‘ve ever had with ANY games console!” but don’t just take her word for it, there are nearly 1000 more Wii reviews to read.
