Halo (from Microsoft and game studio Bungie) has been one of the most popular game franchises ever and there have been many collectibles, limited edition items and products that expand the Halo universe. For those who are die hard fans of the series, Master Chief is the character that they identify with and want to be like. One way that you can "live the Halo dream" is to wear a full Master Chief costume.

There are many cheaper versions, but the official licensed version is the one you need to buy. The Halo 3 Master Chief Licensed Costume with Full Armor and Helmet makes you look like your hero and look the part. Whether you are buying for a fancy dress party or to own the armour as a collectible, this is definitely the best one to buy. Finish it off with a replica Halo Spartan rifle too!

First, a little history on how I found out how to get a cheap iPod.  My 2 lucky kids got brand new iPod touches for Christmas last year.  The thing is, that they are now both dead with cracked glass, plus covered in kiddie tears too.

I started looking into how I could get them repaired and came across lots of websites where you can get the glass repaired for around £85 - a fairly hefty portion of the cost of the original iPod Touch.

I knew that the Apple Stores do hold stock of replacement items (as I found out when I tried to get a new iPhone, because the volume button had fallen off and they wanted to charge be £190 for a new one).  After a little bit of reading up, I found that the 8gb iPod Touch can be replaced by Apple for £82.44!

At the same time, I was also looking on eBay to see how much cracked glass iPod's sell for, 2nd hand.  They seem to sell for around £40, the higher capacity ones sell for more - but no that much more....

So, if you put the 2 together, Apple Store and eBay, you get the choice of buying a broken screen iPod from eBay and then taking it to the Apple Store to have the glass replaced for around £85... great!  Especially if you can get yourself a 32gb model from eBay - you will be laughing!

I am not really a Top Gear man. Cars are just another tool to get me from A to B, the same as my feet but the series and the presenters seem to have a hold over the "real men" of England with their witty and interesting program.

Now that craze has spread to the playground with the introduction of the Top Gear Turbo Challenge Trading Cards. They are a bit like Top Trumps I guess and as with other games like Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh, there are rare cards and special abilities that can be used to help you win the game.

The best place to get them at the moment is on eBay.

It looks like there is yet another shortage of toys this Christmas. Kids will be crying on the morning of December 25th if Daddy has not bagged them a cute, loveable furry creature that rolls around a plastic home, squeaks and does not poo on the carpet or bite you when you try to clean the cage.

Go Go Hamster is the latest toy to suffer from a mass panic purchasing nightmare across the UK. The makers of the toy insist that contrary to recent stories in the news, they are 100% safe and do not contain any toxic chemicals or evil intent. In fact, they don't even contain batteries! You have to buy them separately. How many parents awake to the cold chill of "I thought you were getting the batteries...?" on xmas morning.

Will you be the one to miss out on a Go Go Hamster?

Bakugan Brawler

My kids have plenty of toys to play with - actually, probably too many.

After the Pokemon Cards, Match Attax football cards, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Gormiti series 1 and Gormiti series 2 have all passed the playground craze stage, they are quickly onto the next thing.  This of course leaves a mighty pile of these items in bedroom drawers, cupboards and boxes.  It drives me mad.

The latest craze they have been obsessing about is Bakugan Brawlers.

For those out of the loop, Bakugan are small plastic sphere shaped creatures who, when rolled onto a "Bakugan metal gate card", pop up to reveal their full form and do battle with the opponents Bakugan.  This is a game played with a few opponents who each have their own Bakugan, each trying to capture the gate cards in the middle of the arena and become the winner.

The Bakugan can also be different strengths and have ability cards too which are played to make the creature stronger, or cause your opponent some hardship during the game.

This new game, which is still in it's infancy in the UK has the usual "must have" factors that kids love.

• Collectible cards.
• Different creatures with their own names and abilities.
• Creatures that belong to different "elements" or "types".
• A cartoon featuring children playing the game and battling with their Bakugan.

The creator of Bakugan has hit on another great craze which the kids love!

The Register reports how an innocent eBay'er was duped into buying a picture of an Xbox 360 for ?470. As BigFootCookie knows, stating the correct details of the item in the auction is very important - as is reading the auction before you part with your cash!

Here is a link to the eBay auction, complete with a full description of the XBox probably copied from the Official Microsoft Site - but with the added quip:

This auction is not for a Xbox 360 game system, but instead a picture of one. I hope you enjoy this high-quality item. The 360 is the hottest thing on the market.

I bet PayPal are working through their lunch break to sort this one out. If they can stop laughing that is.

And what does the purchaser have to say on this matter when leaving feedback?

Lying theif, stay away from this ebay member !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus. He can't even spell either!

Cripes!

Mr Postman delivered my GBA Flash Cart this morning before 9am! Hows that for eBay service! Ordered yesterday afternoon - delivered today!

I unboxed my new toy and slapped it into the USB port on my XP box and installed the drivers, briefly read the instructions (ignored most of it) and launched the program from the included CD to upload some **ahem** backups of my games I already own.

ERROR: NOT ENOUGH ROOM

The Cart stated that it had 256mb free… but only 256MB RAM - not ROM…. Hmm…
I tried to format the card using the same program - but it just crashed every time.
Thoughts of negative eBay feedback entered my mind as I re-read the instructions.

I went off to the manufacturers website and began to download the latest version of the upload client and was a small part way through downloading it over my 2Meg ADSL line at 3.2kb a second when I found a slightly older version on another site. Downloaded that - unRARed it and tested… it worked!!!

I was able to pick my ROM images and load them into the application ready for uploading.
So why did’nt Mr eBay supply the latest version of the client too? He did supply his own CD with the drivers on, but they were obviously the old version!

So I now have …er… some ROMs on the cart. And for the record.. it works - perfectly!
It boots to a loader screen (with wallpaper you can change) and you arrow up and down the list of games and press the A Button to load them.

I don’t know why I did’nt get one years ago!

Now, i’m off for another “pretend poo” to play.
And tonight, I will be mostly searching the internet for ROMs and Emulators.
