Yes, the HD-DVD format has been defeated by Blu-Ray – but who cares! This has meant that many retailers have been selling off any remaining stock for rock-bottom prices for some time now.
Not only can you watch these high definition discs, but you can also play your standard DVDs as well. The great thing about this is that they are upscaled, which basically means the picture is improved quite a bit.
101 CD are selling this for £27.86 delivered – click here for more details.
Stuntman: Ignition £4.99
26 Nov
Stuntman: Ignition focuses on the career of a motion-picture stuntman, and takes you through various movies in which you perform dangerous stunts in order to progress.
The single player campaign is fairly short, but you’ll keep coming back to the multiplayer (which is online as well) mode. All in all, a much better game that the original PS2 disappointment.

Buzz! Quiz TV £9.78
26 Nov
I’m not sure how many people know this (probably everyone!), but it’s actually Jason Donovan who provides the voice of the quiz master in the Buzz! games. From Neighbors to I’m A Celebrity to this – what next for the Aussie "legend"?!?
Buzz! Quiz TV is the first in the series to appear on the PlayStation 3, and comes with a couple of decent new features as well as 5000 questions to answer. You can now compete against others across the world via the wireless network, and make and share your own quiz content through the MyBuzz! area.
If you fancy this, click here to get it for £9.78 from Comet. There’s also a Buzz! Quiz TV: Special Edition (with buzzers and extra questions) available for £39.99 from Currys, or Buzz! Quiz TV (with buzzers) priced at £33.99 from Choices UK.
SingStar: Volume Two £7.99
26 Nov
Even though you buy tons of tracks from the online SingStore, it’s good that Sony are still releasing volumes of SingStar so that anyone without the Internet can get a whole new batch of songs to sing along to.
30 new tracks are included on the SingStar: Volume Two disc, and there’s also a new harmony mode to be found as well. From my point of view I’m just happy to see "Bust A Move" by Young M.C. is there, as it is most excellent.
Click here to buy this PlayStation 3 title for £7.99 from Comet, and add it to your catalogue of cheap games that are most fun when played drunk!
One good thing to have come out of the "credit crunch", recession, or any other term you want to give the country being in a right old mess, is that the price of video games and consoles has fallen to almost decent levels – new releases are often lowered in supermarkets, and bundles contain titles people actually want to play.
Let’s spare a thought for poor old Sony though, who have been losing money on the PS3 since day one. At least more people will be buying them now, as offers like today’s one appear to be irresistible.
Amazon have the PlayStation 3 (with two games, a Blu-Ray movie, an HDMI cable, and a Blu-Ray remote) available for £299.97 – for more information, click here.
The Unreal series seems to have been around for ages, but there have only actually been eight games made in total. Unreal Tournament III is the fourth Unreal Tournament title, and runs on a completely new game engine from previous incarnations.
It’s primarily an online multiplayer title which offers several game modes, but there’s also an extensive offline single-player campaign with an in-depth story to work your way through. As far as first-person shooters go this is top-notch, as it not only looks brilliant but plays fantastically as well.
Click here to get the PS3 version for £15 from Woolworths (even if they go bust, you’ll still get your order), or click here to buy the XBox 360 release for £26.99 from ShopTo.

Amazon Cheap Games
24 Nov
Not to be confused with the Amazon video game Christmas sale, there’s also a few separate Amazon cheap games offers worth taking a look at.

It’s becoming almost a daily event to report new console deals, but you won’t hear me complaining – and I’m sure that you’re not either! How long until we see a Wii deal that’s too good to resist?!?…
Anyway, the smallest XBox 360 package comes with a wireless controller and five games (Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man and Uno) from the XBox Live Marketplace. There’s very little storage space included, but Microsoft are selling the XBox 360 20GB hard drive for £12.99 to new customers (which is an excellent price, to be honest).
At the moment, Amazon are running a very good offer where you can get a few extra titles and an extra wireless controller.
Click here to buy the XBox 360 Arcade, with four games, for £147.97 – oh yeah, and the games in question are Kung Fu Panda, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, Project Gotham Racing 4, and Sega Superstars Tennis.
You’ll need to scroll down to the "Product Promotions" area to see more information on this bundle, as it’s not quite as straightforward as I’d like it to be.
XBox 360 Live Package £69
23 Nov
If there’s one thing that irritates me about the XBox 360, it’s that there’s no in-built wireless network adaptor – not only does the PlayStation 3 have one, the bloody Wii does as well!
Hopefully at some point in the future Microsoft will decide to integrate one into the console, but until then we’ll have to make do with the XBox 360 Wireless Network Adaptor.
Currys have an XBox 360 Live package (which contains this accessory and a 12-month subscription to XBox Live) available for £69 – for more information, click here.
Many of the cheap games featured on this site have online capabilities, and this set lets you take advantage of these without too much fuss.
