A recent retail promotion that saw Wii U drop to an all-new low price has been extended.
GameStop last Friday announced a deal that saw the 32GB Premium Wii U available for just £244.97. However, the retailer has now said that it has extended the offer “while stocks last”.
GameStop has previously admitted to disappointing sales of the Wii U, with president Tony Bartel stating: “Following the holiday launch period, sales have been slower than we expected. Nintendo plans on launching some of their biggest IP over the next few months which we think will increase gamer interest.
“Software will play a big role in each console’s success over the holidays. We’re already seeing great developer and publisher support for PS4, so Wii U will need some great titles, especially first-party titles, to compete. There’s also a need to increase consumer awareness of the new features available on the Wii U and its tethered tablet features.”
The retailer also has a promotion running on Microsoft’s the Halo 4 Limited Edition Xbox 360 S console that can currently be had for £214.97 – that’s a £45 discount on the previous price.

Commander, you'll find a wave of new recruits joining you soon. Thanks to a special XCOM initiative promotion, we're opening our doors like never before in an attempt to bolster our ranks against the enemy threat in XCOM: Enemy Unknown, offering enlistment via Amazon for $16.50.

Look, we don't want to say you're doing a bad job, it's just – well have you looked out your window lately, Commander? Oh, right, you're underground, sorry. Just know that there are aliens everywhere now, we could really use the extra muscle and the council thinks this is a solid move for a positive monthly report in March.

Overview : Max Connect is a MicroUSB to HDMI MHL Adapter Improved Remote Control Protocol (RCP) that is compatible with Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Evo 4G Tablet, HTC Sensation 4G, Sprint Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy Nexus and many more.

Features :

• MHL Adapter allows you to connect a MicroUSB (5 Pin) port to a HDMI (Type A) equipped device
• Improved Remote Control Protocol (RCP) function to use with HDTV remote control to control videos on a mobile device
• Designed for use with mobile devices featuring MHL technology. Make sure your phone is compatible before purchasing
• Connect a MHL compatible device to an HDMI TV
• Supports video resolutions up to 1080p and digital audio
• Includes 50cm long cable and 170cm long HDMI cable for better control performance

Quality/Usability : With camera and video improving on mobile devices, people are starting to use it more and more especially if you don't have your camera on you. But it's hard to show your friends and family pictures on your phone's screen. There's only so many people that can hover over your phone display. So why not display it on your TV?

Rather than get the OEM Samsung MHL adapter, I opted to try a 3rd party device. XCM is well known in the video game accessories scene and I have reviewed many of their gaming accessories. The quality of their products are very well made for an aftermarket company. So I thought I would give their Max Connect MHL adapter a try.


The XCM Max Connect MHL Adapter doesn't come with much. You get the MHL adapter and it comes with an HDMI cable. The only thing you have to supply yourself is the device (smartphone or tablet) and microUSB charger/cable.


There isn't much to the MHL adapter. One end lets you plug in a HDMI cable. The other end has a wire with a microUSB cable and in the middle of the XCM Max Connect MHL adapter is a port for you to connect your microUSB charging cable into and to power the adapter.


[/B]I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 which is MHL compatible and the hardware is slightly different from other devices. The S3 uses 11-pin microUSB rather than the usual 5-pin (newer devices will soon be using 11-pin). Since the smartphone is an 11-pin, it will not work with the MHL adapters. In order for me to get the Max Connect to work with the Galaxy S3, I had to buy a 5-pin to 11-pin adapter. These adapters cost only $2-$3 depending where you purchase from (no need to get fancy with brand name as they all do the same thing). This allowed me to convert the MHL adapters 5-pin microUSB into a 11-pin microUSB so that it would work with the Galaxy S3.
[B]

Getting it all setup is fairly easy.

1. Connect the HDMI cable into the MHL adapter and your TV.
2. Connect the microUSB charging cable into the MHL adapter.
3. Connect the other end of the microUSB charging cable to a power source (wall or laptop).
4. Connect the MHL adapter into the microUSB port on your device. This is the same port that you would normally use to charge your device.
5. Select the appropriate HDMI Port on your TV (consult your TV owner's manual).
6. The TV screen will display what is on your phone.

NOTE: Please ensure that your device has MHL capabilities.


Since it is connected to a microUSB charging cable and power source, it will also charge your device. No need to worry about your phone running out of battery.

Here are some samples of what it would look like on your HDTV. The HDTV display is a 55" Samsung LED.

Phone Home Screen:

YouTube and Google Maps:

Video Player (The Walking Dead):

I can now watch videos on a bigger screen whether it's videos that I loaded to my phone or videos that I have recorded on my phone.

Picture Gallery:

If I have guest over, we no longer have to pass the phone around or huddle around a phone. We can now view all the images we want on a big screen and comfortably.

Web Browser (Google Chrome):

You really wouldn't want to view the web from your phone if you're home and have access to a tablet, laptop or desktop but this is just to show what you can do and how it would look.

Games (Candy Crush):

Yes, we can play our games on a bigger screen but we would still need to take a look at our phone so we can see where we're pressing. But it's cool though.

Pretty much whatever is displayed on your device is displayed on your TV. You can now watch videos, view pictures, browse the web and play games all on a bigger screen at resolutions of up to 1080p. The color and clarity of the output is very good. It also depends the quality of your HDTV and its settings. The refresh rate is pretty smooth as well. The pictures above doesn't do its justice.

Conclusion : Overall, the XCM Max Connect MHL MicroUSB to HDMI Adapter Cable displays whatever is on your device on to your TV. The Official Samsung MHL adapter with 5-pin to 11-pin adapter costs $40 retail without HDMI cable. Even if you have to go out and buy a 5-pin to 11-pin adapter, it's still cheaper. It may not cost much but I liked the fact that they included an HDMI ...

It looks as though Canon will have a new DSLR to announce very shortly, if a listing on Best Buy's website is any indicator. The page offers us no images to ogle, but it betrays an unannounced 18-megapixel shooter dubbed the EOS-b, accompanied by an 18-55m lens kit and an $800 price tag. Canon Rumors notes a smaller footprint, trimming five ounces of fat and bulk off the T4i's measurements. The camera specs are identical to the T4i and EOS M, too, but an optical viewfinder and pop-up flash make us wonder if it isn't a pint-sized follow up to the T4i. You can look forward to a Digic 5 image processor, nine-point autofocus system, 3-inch 1.04K dot TFT-LCD touchscreen, four frames-per-second burst shooting, an ISO range from 100 to 12,800 with a high setting of 25,600 and HD video capture. There's no word on when this APS-C shooter will officially be announced, but you can try your luck at placing a pre-order by clicking the Best Buy source link.

The average selling price of video games last year was £26.45, a rise of 3.2 per cent year-on-year.
Chart-Track data published by ERA shows another year of game price rises. Supermarkets are now the cheapest games retailer, with an average selling price of £25.50, an increase of two pence over 2011.
They have overtaken online retailers, who have seen their prices rise by almost £2 from £23.56 to £25.52. This is driven by the closure of the Channel Island Tax loophole in April last year. The loophole had allowed etailers to avoid VAT on games under £15.
Specialist and independent outlets remain the most expensive for video game software, with an average selling price of £27.82. That is an 81 pence increase over 2011’s number of £27.01.
Supermarkets and online retailers make slight gains in 2012
The market share between UK games retailers only changed slightly last year, despite the loss of major specialist stores.
According to Chart-Track figures published by ERA, the over-the-counter market – which includes all High Street retailers from Argos to GAME – took a 42.5 per cent market share of software revenue last year. That’s a drop of around 4.5 per cent year-on-year. It follows the loss of a number of specialist stores, including 277 GAME outlets.
Supermarkets and online retailers both increased their market by just over 2.5 per cent as a result.
Supermarkets is the second largest sector with 29.5 per cent of the market, while online retailers hold a 28 per cent share of the sector.
