Underwhelmed by the new Gold-only features: Facebook is alright &#8211; I like the photo browser, but doesn&#8217;t appear to be integrated; Twitter is an #epicfail without a browser [...]]]></description>

This Christmas, I received a single video-gaming related item: Prince or Persia, on the Xbox 360.  Actually, I can&#8217;t remember the last game I bought for the Wii&#8230; it may have been Super Smash Bros. Brawl.  Why this (not so) sudden apathy for the saviour of the games console?  Because after a [...]]]></description>

Never mind that anything worth buying with these points sold out immediately (the used to give away Gameboy Players for the GameCube, and certain NDS games) &#8211; people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(or &#8220;Why you should never change your hardware platform&#8221;)

As reported at play, GTA IV was tested as being 100% compatible with the current model of PS3, but unfortunately not with any of the older (60Gb) versions which retained PS2 compatibility via hardware custom chips.

Sony is no stranger to making significant internal changes to its consoles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although not widely publicised, Sony has quietly let slip that they have dropped hardware backwards-compatibility from the European PlayStation3 as a cost-reducing measure, even though the more affordable 20Gb variant will not be available and the 60Gb console is likely to cost more here than in either Japan or the Americas.

More recently, Sony have settled [...]]]></description>

The product wasn&#8217;t actually listed until about 9:40, at which point it sold out within, literally, seconds.  In the time it took to mis-enter my email address once (d&#8217;oh!) and then re-enter it correctly, all units had been sold.
