So, the PS4 and the Xbox One are real and happening and almost certainly definitely coming to the UK sometime this year. In the meantime, let's turn our attentions to Nintendo for a few seconds. Read More >>

A couple of days ago we brought you the Nook Simple Touch e-reader that had been knocked down to just £29.00 -- and now here's another in our series covering hardware that hasn't really taken off and is being reduced. Read More >>

It's been revealed that sales of the Nintendo Wii U console have been more sluggish than a slug that's trying to run a marathon while wearing hobnail boots and carrying a backpack filled with tiny bricks. Oh yes, pretty sluggish. Read More >>

Sure, we're all pretty pleased with ourselves and the near-infinite number of electronic gadgets that we've got lying around our dwellings, but don't forget that we need to plug them in to the power supply to keep them running. Read More >>

Nintendo isn't afraid of different. It has thrown more crazy stuff at the wall—and gotten more of it to stick—than anyone. The Wii U is Nintendo's opinion of what's next. Read More >>

While the Wii U looks pretty awesome, what with that screen in the middle of the controller, the price, well, just wasn’t. It's £100 more than an Xbox starting at £250, and that's just for the legitimate "basic" pre-order. What if they're all sold out, but your kid must have one for Christmas? How about an eBay-special for just £555 plus shipping? Daylight robbery, perhaps? Read More >>

Nintendo's finally spilled the beans on the Wii U, including pricing, well, for everywhere but the UK; release dates, and game line-up. It's got a whole raft of decent-looking games for launch, and two models, a "basic" and a "premium", but neither is likely to be cheap. Read More >>

As we edge ever closer to the apparent end of year release for Nintendo's next gen HD console, it looks like one of Amazon's hardware suppliers may have jumped the gun a tad. Apparently, it'll launch on November 11th, priced between £156 and £219 with game bundles. No word on what each supposed bundle contains, mind. A Mario or two, perhaps?
