7) So, this looks like an interesting enough product! There are numerous reviews on this already, even though it’s not available until September 19th. As such I’ve not had a chance to try this out yet. I will be buying this though in the hope that the positive reviews on Amazon are accurate. If not, then I’ll just sell it on their marketplace!

PS3 already gives your family next-generation gaming, Blu-ray movies, music, video, web browsing and PLAYSTATION Network support – all in one unit. Now, with PlayTV, it has the functionality of a state-of-the-art TV tuner and PVR – it’s great value and it’s one more reason to make PS3 the centre of your family entertainment.

Two TV tuners: watch one programme while recording another.

Electronic Programme Guide: a seven-day navigation interface that makes it easy to programme and watch PlayTV. It’s lightning fast and simple to use with either PS3’s SIXAXIS controller or the Blu-ray Remote Control.

Watch, pause and rewind live TV: TV programmes now operate at the viewers’ convenience. Just hit the pause button to take a break without missing a thing – and rewind any bits to watch over and over again.

Portable viewing with PSP: Seamless PSP connectivity allows you to set recordings remotely and to watch live TV streamed on your PSP wherever you are via a WiFi connection (using Remote Play feature).

8) Fifa 09. This highly anticipated game will be in every footballers wishlist this christmas. According to early reports, this is an absolutely quality game! I guess I will have to find out for myself. Making use of Amazon.co.uk’s pre-order functionality, this one should be on my doorstep a day after it’s release on the 3rd of October.

It has been stated in an interview with David Rutter, the Line Producer of the game, that there are 250 improvements on the game.

Among the improvements in the new FIFA are improved responsiveness that allows for quicker release of the ball, greater urgency in the off-the-ball running, a new jostle system that takes into account the strength of the players when going shoulder to shoulder and subtle animations that enable players to take first-time shots.

Another of the 09 edition’s biggest changes is a completely revamped collision system, which calculates speed, weight and power when the players collide, as each player will have their own individual strength and power stats depending on their body characteristics. These characteristics will be depicted as is in real life.

New goalkeeper technology with goalkeepers having better positioning, better reactions to saves and faster recovery after a save has been made.

Right, I’ve to go get some lunch. I’ll try add some more products this afternoon for you all to have a look at!
