Marley and Me on DVD - Cheap pre-order from Play.com for £12.99 today!

‘Marley and Me’ starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson isn’t just your average comedy movie. The film is absolutely hilarious, but there are also some very serious parts that will probably leave you in tears.

I saw Marley and Me at the cinema when it was first released and there were definitely a few sniffles and sobs during the showing! Marley and Me follows the story of a young career-minded couple John and Jen (Owen & Aniston) who find themselves with the world’s worst dog, Marley.

Marley the cute puppy soon grows into an energetic 100lb Labrador and whilst he provides great anecdotes for John’s newspaper column, he also causes some problems for the newly weds.

Three children and a house move later, Marley is still running riot in the family household. When his age catches up with him though, the Grogan family realise that Marley won’t be around forever.

Rated PG, Marley and Me is probably one of the best family films of 2009. There will be plenty of laughs and a fair few tears, but if your going to watch any film this year Marley and Me should be it.

I don’t know what everyone else thinks, but I think it’s totally refreshing to finally see a comedy in which the main animal character doesn’t talk! It’s definitely more realistic and there’s something almost everyone can relate to in the plot of Marley and Me.

Marley and Me is due for release on DVD on 6th July 2009, but you can pre-order a cheap copy today at Play.com

You can pre-order Marley and Me on DVD for just £12.99 plus free delivery from Play.com today!

New Nintendo DSi Colours - Coming Soon!

The new Nintendo DSi has only just hit UK shelves and already there are three new colours to look forward to. Unfortunately, you can’t purchase these bright new versions here in the UK just yet, but it’s only a matter of time and we thought we should keep you up to date!

People in Japan can already purchase the Nintendo DSi in hot pink, metallic blue and lime green (as pictured) and it hopefully won’t be too long before we can get our hands on them too.

The new colourful Nintendo DSi’s are the same price as the existing black and white consoles in Japan, so we’re hoping that we won’t have to pay much more either.

The hot pink Nintendo DSi is sure to be a perfect gift for any female gamer and the metallic blue will undoubtedly be a popular choice for the lads. The lime green model would be a sensible choice for anyone wishing to express a little more of their “out-there” personality, but overall the colourful versions are just much more fun than plain black and white Nintendo DSi consoles.

Here at MyShoppingTips.co.uk, we’ve very excited about these new “cheery” Nintendo DSi consoles and we can’t wait for them to arrive here in the UK.

As soon as we hear of any pre-order information and price confirmation, we’ll be sure to let you know. Check back here regularly for updates and more info.

Don’t forget, you can buy a cheap Nintendo DSi in Black or White from Toys R Us online for just £134.97 now!
