Pre-Order Rubik's 360 Now!

Although they say don’t fix what ain’t broke, this latest remake of a classic is set to be the best gadget of the year!

The Rubik’s 360 is the updated version of the 1980’s classic, the Rubik’s Cube. Once again, this latest Rubik’s invention is a puzzle solving game, where instead of matching up coloured tiles, you have to get the coloured balls into the matching coloured domes.

Sounds Easy? Think again! You have to work your way through two inner spheres before you manage to match the balls to their coloured domes, but this is by no means as easy as it sounds…no surprises there, then!

There is definitely a knack to solving this spherical puzzle, so if you think you are clever (and patient) enough, then make sure you pre-order your Rubik’s 360 now.

You can pre-order your cheap Rubik’s 360 for just £18 from Hamleys.co.uk

By pre-ordering your Rubik’s 360 game, you will receive it on the UK launch date which is 15th July.

Retro Rubik's Cube Salt and Pepper Mills - £11.95 sold seperately at Firebox

It seems everyone is suffering from a spot of nostalgia lately, as both 80’s fashion and products are slowly whittling their way back into our lives. We’re not complaining though! Here at MyShoppingTips, we can’t get enough of retro and vintage items.

If you saw our recent article on ‘Cheap Retro Products’, there’s a huge chance that you’ll be a fan of the new Rubik’s Cube Salt and Pepper Mills that we’ve recently stumbled across on the web.

The Rubik’s Cube Salt and Pepper Mills are exactly the same size as the original addictive puzzle and they’ll bring a retro feel to any contemporary home.

Retro homeware is the way forward and it’s so great to reminisce on times gone by, so the Rubik’s Salt and Pepper Mills are a must-have for anyone who grew up in the 80’s (or for anyone who just thinks they’re pretty awesome).

This funky device doesn’t act as a puzzle like the original Rubik’s cube does, you just rotate the top layer to add a touch of flavour to your food. The salt mill has a white top and the Rubik’s pepper mill has a red top, so they’re easy to tell apart. They last thing you want is a whole load of pepper and vinegar on your fish and chips!

A couple of Rubik’s Cubes and some Salt-n-Pepa (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun) is all you need to take a trip back to the much-loved 80’s, but some florescent leg warmers and ghetto blaster may also help.

One of the cheapest places to buy retro Rubik’s Cube Salt and Pepper Mills is Firebox.

Buy Rubik’s Salt and Pepper Mills from Firebox today for £11.95 each and give your friends and family something to talk about at the dinner table.

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!

Cheap Retro Sega Mega Drive Console with 15 Built-in Games - £37.99 from Play.com

Surely everyone remembers the Sega Mega Drive Console? Long before the Xbox 360 and even the PlayStation, the Sega Mega Drive was the daddy of all home gaming consoles.

At its prime, the Sega Mega Drive had what was considered to be superior graphics and sound. However, if you were to switch on a Sega Mega Drive now after a Resident Evil 5 session on the PS3, the retro console would admittedly seem a bit dated. On the plus side, that’s all part of the fun!

I had a Sega Master System as a kid and was absolutely obsessed with the thing! If I wasn’t battling the bad guys on Sonic, I was desperately trying to win Rock-Paper-Scissors on the legendary built-in Alex Kidd (by far my favourite).

Purchasing a Sega Mega Drive console now will make you really appreciate how advanced the gaming we have access to today is, but at the same time it will also provide you with hours of old school fun.

I suppose you’re wondering what has persuaded me to start babbling on about Sega Mega Drives? Well, I’ve just discovered that Play.com are offering a really cheap Sega Mega Drive Console with 15 games for just £37.99 plus free UK standard delivery.

It is due for release on Friday 24th April 2009, but you can pre-order your Sega Mega Drive Console today!

There are 15 retro games built-in to the Sega Mega Drive Console including:

• Alex Kidd
• Sonic and Knuckles
• Shadow Dancer
• Golden Axe
• Flicky
• Gain Ground
• E Swat
• Crack Down
• Columns
• Bonanza Bros.
• Altered Beast
• Decap Attack
• Fatal Labyrinth
• Alien Storm
• Arrow Flash

Any of those sound familiar? Thought so!

The Sega Mega Drive Console will bring those childhood memories flooding back and is sure to be a huge hit with any hardcore gamer. It would make a great Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas or Father’s Day gift, so why not treat someone you know?

You can pre-order a Sega Mega Drive Console with 15 Built-in Games for just £37.99 from Play.com and it will be delivered free to your door.

It’s official; retro gaming is back.
