Best gadget this Christmas ...

ASUS EEE PC701?
Well, OK, but before you buy, try getting support info from the ASUS website.
It's the worst I've seen. Got my vote for 'least user-friendly site'.

Don't worry about that.....go to www.eeeuser.com

or forums.overclockers.co.uk

xbox 360 elite or a vario III

Got a PS3 (60GB) and an iPhone. Both presents to myself for rocking so much, both better than the aforementioned.

Xbox 360 can't do true HD (1080P) and the HD-DVD add-on looks like it was designed by a 3 year old. I can watch blu-ray movies at full 1080P and play games like Tekken 5 DR, Ridge Racer 7 and Gran Turismo HD that the fat, hideous 'I own a jumped up Dell laptop' Xbox 360 will never get, it's only bought by pasty europeans and fat Americans. Japan laughs at you, can you spell 'Cell processor'.

Overclockers got some.
ASDA online got them in white for delivery tomorrow.

Good spot! But is it worth holding out for the 8Gb one?

If you think thike that, you'll never buy any gadget, as the better one will be just around the corner.

I've just had an email from Asda about delivery, after I sent them a stroppy note asking why I hadn't even had the chance to choose a date yet:

Your particular order has gone for further valuidation checks, once these crucial security measures have been resolved you will be sent an email asking you to book delivery. We usually anticipate a response between 2 - 24 working hours. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough - I thought the 8Gb one was out but just not stocked. I didn't realise it hasn't been released yet. I'm tempted to order the black one from Expansys.

(I do tend to dive in early on the gadget front!)

Indeed the PS3 is a marvel to behold on a 42" HD tv.
Only problem I've found with it is streaming video from a media server via a wireless network, it connects fine but spends more time buffering than playing the video. Might need to be cabled to the router.

Gran Turismo HD is gorgeous, blue ray is fantastic and luckily blockbuster are stocking them (theres no way i'm paying current blue ray prices)

Hats off to you sir, it's refreshing to see someone well informed, that isn't one of Bill Gates' drones. 1080p on a 50" bravia is very sweet (Spiderman 3 on blu-ray needs to be witnessed), and has had my Xbox 360 owning chums openly weeping into their embossed Microsoft hankies.

Is Gran Turismo HD out yet? I thought it hadn't been released yet
