Batman: The Dark Knight Bat-Pod

The highly anticipated Batman: The Dark Knight ‘Bat-Pod’ model is about to hit the stores, appealing to collectors and film buffs alike.

We have been looking where you can buy this amazing scaled down Bat-Pod model, so you can get yours at the most affordable price!

If you are not quite sure what this ‘Bat-Pod’ is, then read on. Basically, it is a scaled down version of the amazing Batman motorcycle that we see emerging from the Bat Mobile in the film, Batman: The Dark Knight. I have always been a massive fan of the Bat Mobile, right from its early stages, and fell absolutely in love with the modern Bat-Pod that developes in the most recent Batman film, The Dark Knight.

This model, to me, is an amazing a piece of art and craftsmanship, with excellent, precise detailing that would make a great focal point in any room.

Now the Bat-Pod is available to pre order at Play.com, and we have found you the lowest price of just £189.99, saving you a whopping £210 from the RRP. Even places like Forbidden Planet are taking ‘reduced’ pre-orders for the Bat-Pod for a whopping £269.99, so by ordering through Play.com, you can save almost £100!

Don’t get confused with the other toy versions that are out there, this Bat-Pod is an exact scaled down version; 1:6th of the Bat-Pod used in the film, and has authentic details such as the headlight light-up function, machine gun, grappling hook, and wheel with hub-mounted engines.

So, whether you are a model collector, film buff, or are after something extra special for that special man in your life (or woman, I certainly would appreciate it, hint hint…), then the Bat-Pod is perfect.

Make sure you pre order your cheap Bat-Pod from Play.com for £189.99, before they all sell out!

You can also pre order the The Dark Knight Bat Mobile from Play.com, too, for £299.99, saving £400 from the RRP price! Why not get the set?!

New Nintendo DSi

The new Nintendo DSi, the second upgrade to the Nintendo DS, is set to be released in Europe on April 3^rd 2009 and will be the Daddy of all hand-held consoles.

The must-have Nintendo DSi will be available in two colours, matt black or stark white, and the easy to use technology means your Gran can enjoy the funky hand held console just as much as you will!

The only thing missing from the new Nintendo DSi that was present in the old DS Lite is the GBA (Game Boy Advanced) expansion slot, but there’s really no need to worry, as the DSi has a SD Memory slot to hold music and photos.

“What photos?” I hear you ask! Well, the Nintendo DSi has two 0.3 megapixel cameras built in to take 640 x 480 pixel photos. The camera in the hinge of the DSi and can be used as a webcam when you’re surfing the net on the built-in web browser!

You’ll be able to download new games using Nintendo Points when you use the DSWare application, which Nintendo are also launching very soon.

Even though the LCD screens on the shiny new Nintendo DSi are bigger than those of the DS Lite at 3.25 inches, the DSi is thinner and lighter in weight (12% thinner in fact)!

Other fantastic features of the Nintendo DSi include improved speakers for better sound quality – great for those of you using the console to learn a language.

The stylus that comes with the DSi is also 4.5mm longer than that of its predecessor and (get this) you can even edit your pictures on the DSi touch screens.

For those of you who still haven’t been convinced, the DSi also has pitch and playback features and even though the DSi cameras only have a 0.3 megapixel resolution, they include 11 special lenses to enable users to add special effects to their pictures.

I think it’s becoming clear that the Nintendo DSi is THE hand-held games console of 2009.

Even though the DSi isn’t out until April 3^rd, you can pre-order yours today at GAME for just £149.99; a small price to pay for such a magnificent multimedia machine!

If you can’t wait to get your hands on the Nintendo DSi, pre-order it now from www.GAME.co.uk to make sure you secure your affordable and hi-tech handheld console.

Spykee Meccano

From the moment we clapped eyes on the Meccano Spykee we have been unable to wait to carry out the price review and comparison.

This groovy looking robot not only looks funky it is also a great piece of kit and the Meccano Spykee is a must have for any family home or bachelor pad.

We once again linked up with GadgetShop.com to find and compare the best price for your Meccano Spykee and they sell them for £199.99.

The Meccano Spykee is billed by its designers and the Spy Robot but we think it is much more than that and has the potential to become a member of the family that you actually like.

When it comes to its functionality well, it will make you dribble. It has USB ports coming out of its ears (not literally), VOIP, MP3, Wi Fi and can even be controlled by your BlueTooth mobile phone connection.

The Meccano Spykee has no real competitor or comparison, it has motion detection and is even motion activated so it can act as video surveillance.

The VOIP means you can make internet calls for free and at the last count the invetors found over 200 different parts, tools or functions!

The thing we liked the most was that it has self docking capabilities, this means that when it gets tired it goes back to its docking port and gives itself a re-charge.

We think every home should have a Meccano Spykee and if you are looking to compare prices or just find the cheapest price for the Meccano Spykee then look no further than GadgetShop.com
