Nintendo DSi XL
Nintendo DSi XL features Two 4.2 inch screens, Longer stylus, 2 digital cameras. Built in SD card / music player, web browser.
It's a nintendo DSi, but the XL makes it BIGGER.
The bods at nintendo looked at the market they were selling their consoles to, and while there competition were making smaller and smaller pocket gaming devices the nintendonians took a step back and see that the big market was not the teenagers (who only have their pocket money) but the older bods out there. The professionals, the mums and dads, grans and grandads (for who the nintendo dsi xl makes a great present).
Not to bothered about putting the console in their pocket and playing in a variety of places, the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSI was used as a home entertainment system. The worst thing about Nintendos portable games console is the fact it is small. So why not ditch the worry about making it portable, and concentrate on making it a better gaming experience.
Key festures of the DSI XL are:
- Two 4.2 inch screens - 93% bigger than the DS Lite.
- Includes A Little Bit of Brain Training and 5 in 1 Dictionary pre-installed.
- Longer stylus and new touch pen.
- 2 digital cameras.
- Built in SD card slot - use your DSi XL and a music player.
- Built in web browser.
The Nintendo DSi XL is an excelent present for Mothers Day, Fathers Day or any occasion.
NBox - What is the nbox?
A little while ago I posted a review of the WD TV Live media box for viewing downloaded and streaming content on the TV.
The WD box is fantastic, but weighing in at around £100 it may seem a little pricy for what it is.
So what if you want to view downloaded content on your telly at a fraction of the cost?
I give you the NBOX - a fantastic multimedia player for music, video and pictures on any TV.
Typically the nbox is alot cheaper than the WD TV Live box usually weighing in at around £15 - £25 on ebay including your shipping. It is small also - about the size of 2 audio cassette tapes (remember those)
So What is it?
the NBox is a small box that needs connecting to mains power and the TV via scart or HDMI and although there is no internal memory it will take SD memory cards or USB memory sticks, as these are very cheap now and capacity wise they can easily pack in 4-5 hours of DVD quality video. HD video is also supported - as long as you have the source files and a big enough memory.
Supported video files include MPEG-1, MPEG-2, DivX, Xvid, AVI, MPG, MPEG, DAT RMVB and VOB
Suported Audio Files include MP3, WMA, WAV and RM
Supported Image / Photo Files include JPEG, BMP and GIF so is actually a great device for performing slide shows of those holiday snaps.
The package includes a remote control, AV cable and power cable best check the full description on ebay (see latest available below) for component details as they may vary.
Video can come from the PC

Busbi Digital Video Camera - Budget “Youtube” Camera
Design: Rating: 
Ease: Rating:
Features: Rating:
Value: Rating:
Overall Rating:
I reviewed the FLIP "youtube" camera the other day, and we liked it. Nice compact and feature packed for the price.
Well the Busbi on the other hand is simple, compact, feature less and above all CHEAP! Like the FLIP ULTRA this is a flat micro camcorder with one touch record aimed at the youtube generation. There are only 4 buttons on the device On/Off, Delete, Playback and Record meaning there is nothing that will confuse even the most technophobious of user. Aim - and record, thats all you need to do!.
The device is accompanied with a 1GB SD card, enough for an hours worth of video, this is of course upgradable (with memory cards so cheep right now - a 4gb SD card is under a fiver - see our memory chart page here) sadly though this is only upgradable to 2Gb.
So, this is ideal for a user who wants to start interacting on youtube on a budget (but doesnt already have a mobile phone with a decent video facility)
