If you think that Sony are bad with their constant buggering around with the size of the hard drive in the PlayStation 3, Microsoft are probably worse when it comes to the XBox 360 - you can currently get an Arcade, Premium or Elite console.
The XBox 360 Elite is in black and comes with a 120GB hard drive. All the accessories are black as well, so everything looks quite snazzy.
There’s a few XBox 360 Elite deals running at Game just now for £259.99 each (which basically means you get the games for free) - click on the corresponding one to see more details:
XBox 360 Elite console, plus copies of Project Gotham Racing 4 and Medal Of Honor: Airborne
XBox 360 Elite console, plus copies of Skate and Medal Of Honor: Airborne
XBox 360 Elite console, plus copies of Skate and Project Gotham Racing 4
The best bundle there looks like the last one, as both Skate and Project Gotham Racing 4 are excellent. To be honest though, any of them are great value.
Not content with bamboozling (I bet you haven’t heard that word for ages) consumers with different sizes of PlayStation 3, Sony have gone and announced another one - the PlayStation 3 80GB console is coming out on the 27th of August.
You also get a Dualshock 3 wireless controller as well, which is quite generous of them. A game would be nice, but it is Sony we’re talking about.

Flipper Critters £7.99
15 Aug
It’s quite difficult to tell from the boxart (and the title of the game itself), but Flipper Critters is actually a pinball game. One of the only ones on the DS as well, I think.
Instead of just taking place on a standard pinball table, this takes place in different locations - from town squares and mountain valleys, to towering castles and the surface of the moon! As it’s a Nintendo game, don’t be too surprised to hear that there’s also some mini-games included.
base.com have this priced at £7.99 - click here for more details.
Monster House From £10.89
15 Aug
The Monster House game is based on the 2006 kids film of the same name, so you can pretty much guarantee that if your little darlings liked it that they will like this game as well.
Strangely the gameplay in this is a little bit like Resident Evil 4 and is much better than you would expect a kids game to be, albeit toned down so as not to scare them half to death!
Click here to buy the DS version for £10.89 from Forget The Rest, click here for the GameBoy Advance release, or click here to get the GameCube version - the latter two are both £10.99 each at SoftUK.
Pangya! Golf With Style is known as Super Swing Golf in the U.S., and is a Wii version of the online golf game Pangya. Except that this version doesn’t have an online mode, which is a bit stupid.
The single-player story mode, where you must defeat all opponents in match play, comes complete with an anime-inspired storyline and lets you unlock extra goodies. There is a multiplayer mode as well, but as I mentioned before it seems rather odd that a title known for its online style can’t be played online!
To get this game for £17.99 from ShopTo, simply click here. What with this and We Love Golf! both being cheap games, it would make you think that there’s something wrong with both of them (there’s not).
We Love Golf! £19.99
15 Aug
What wacky guys they are over at Capcom. We Love Golf! is a golf game on the Wii - see what they did there? They replaced "Wii" with "We"! Ha, ha ha ha! Ahem.
Compete on numerous different courses, including a beach resort and desert ruin, with either your Mii avatar or other characters available. This also lets you play against up to 15 other players online.
Click here to buy this game for £19.99 from SoftUK.
Power Rangers: Super Legends is like some sort of reunion for many of the stars from the TV show’s past, with 16 different playable characters from "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" right through to "Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive".
Lord Zedd has reappeared in his old form and is buggering around with the time stream to try and destroy every Power Ranger throughout history. Gather a force of Power Rangers and artifacts from across time to break through to his hidden dimension and restore the timeline.
Gamestation are selling this PlayStation 2 title for £9.98 - for more information, click here. Please note that Gamestation now do free postage (yay!).
Hard to believe, but Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is actually the ninth title in the long-running Rainbow Six series. This is apparently the last time they’ll be venturing into Vegas though.
Taking place after the events of the first game (with bits set before that as well, making this a quasi-prequel/sequel), you’ll be glad to know that the AI has been improved so that your teammates will cover each other as they advance. Interestingly, you can also create exactly what you want your character to look like.
Click here to get the PlayStation 3 release for £14.99, or click here to buy the XBox 360 version for £15.99 - both from CD-WOW.
Anyone yet to play the brilliant original can still get the PS3 version for £13.99 as part of the Zavvi reductions from t’other day.
If you’ve ever wanted to be a part of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? TV show, but have never had the chance, then the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?: Party Edition (with four snazzy buzzers) game will be your next best shot at sort of getting there. Without the potential cash prize. Or studio audience.
This PS2 title has a single player mode which is almost exactly like what you see on television, and a couple of multiplayer modes (one particularly evil mode called Millionaire Party lets you steal questions, like some sort of quizzical thief).
Pop in to your local Tesco and you might be able to pick this up for only £7.50. The buzzers can also be used with any of the Buzz! games on either the PlayStation 2 or even the PlayStation 3.
Great, you’re thinking, yet another first-person shooter - but wait, for Battlefield: Bad Company is ruddy bloody good. Where else can you take part in a war between America and Russia? (I could make a joke about "in real life soon, if the Americans have their way", but that would be a bit sad. Oh…)
Around 90% of the game’s environment can be destroyed, which basically means that pretty much anything can be blown up. The area where this really excels though is multiplayer, where up to 24 players can shoot the crap out of each other at one time. Nice.
Game are selling the XBox 360 (click here) and PlayStation 3 (click here) releases for £29.99 each - but we can get it lower than that.
Simply add the title you would like to your basket, along with this wrapping (you need to spend over £30, and this takes the amount to £30.98), and enter the voucher code NW02GME1 to get £3 off. This means you get either game for a grand total of £27.98.
