You no longer have to head to a Microsoft Store in the US to put the Band on your wrist. Microsoft's smart wearable is now available through Amazon, Best Buy and Target in the country at the usual $200 asking price, and it'll go on sale in the UK on April 15th for £170. Fitness-minded Brits can pre-order today, with Amazon, Curry's PC World, Dixons Travel, Harrods and O2 all promising to carry stock. And you won't have to rush quite so quickly to get a Band this time around -- the crew in Redmond is planning both more frequent shipments and larger supplies in each batch, so shortages won't be as common.

PS4 may have again beaten Xbox One in the monthly US hardware charts in February, but it was Nintendo that emerged as the month’s surprise winner.
The launch of the new 3DS XL in the region saw Nintendo’s handheld platform win the hardware race, while The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D was the best-selling game.
Nintendo noted that the new 3DS XL sold 130 per cent more units in its first month than the numbers achieved by the original 3DS XL. For the first two months of the year 3DS hardware sales are up 90 per cent year-on-year, while Wii U sales were up 20 per cent.
Looking exclusively at home consoles, Sony’s command of the market shows little sign of abating with PS4 outselling Xbox One yet again both in the hardware and software markets.
Nonetheless, Microsoft said that Xbox One enjoyed its best February to date and that hardware sales were up 84 per cent month-on-month.
In the NPD software charts 2K’s Evolve and Warner’s Dying Light claimed second and third behind Zelda – which, Nintendo said, sold 515k units throughout the month across physical and digital.
Fellow new 3DS title Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate sold 290k, which is the best performance from an entry in the series to date and Capcom’s fastest ever 3DS seller, although it only just scraped into the Top Ten, one place behind new PS4 title The Order: 1886.
Here’s the February Top 10:
1. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (Nintendo)
2. Evolve (2K Games)
3. Dying Light (Warner Bros)
4. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Activision)
5. Grand Theft Auto V (Rockstar)
6. NBA 2K15 (2K)
7. Dragon Ball: Xenoverse (Bandai Namco)
8. Minecraft (Sony/Microsoft)
9. The Order: 1886 (Sony)
10. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (Capcom)

Warner Bros and Techland's open world zombie title Dying Light once again takes pole position in the GfK Chart-Track Top 40.
It keeps the top spot in spite of a 48 per cent decline in sales this week.
The game has so far managed to outpace the other new IPs that launched this year, including Sony's The Order 1886 and 2K's Evolve, in spite of launching digital over a month ago.
The Order fell three places to No.7, with a 62 per cent dip in sales, while Evolve falls to No.9 in its fourth week on sale with a 35 per cent sales decline.

And Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball: Xenoverse – which debuted in third place last week – falls to fifth with a 61 per cent drop in sales.
In eighth place is Rebellion's first self-published title, Zombie Army Trilogy. The boxed release was handled by Sold Out.
Here is the Top Ten for the week ending March 7th:
1. Dying Light, Warner Bros

Square Enix’s new Dragon Quest spin-off has helped Sony’s PS4 and Vita place top of Japan’s hardware rankings once again.
Dragon Quest Heroes: Yamiryu to Sekaiju no Shiro, the first action-RPG in the long-running RPG series, debuted at the top of the software chart, with the PS3 edition of the title outselling its PS4 sibling by more than 50,000 units, according to the latest data from Famitsu.
However, it's the PS4 that came top of the hardware charts, followed closely by the Vita handheld.
PS4 sales rose by over 20,000 units, with Vita sales dropping slightly by around 10,000 units.
It’s a reversal of the consoles’ fortunes last week, when the Vita was crowned top dog of the hardware rankings thanks to the release of Bandai Namco’s God Eater 2 Rage Burst; the PS4 placed second at the time.
Meanwhile in last week's hardware chart, PS3 sales grew slightly, overtaking Nintendo’s New 3DS and the Wii U.
The Vita version of God Eater 2 slipped from first place to fourth, while the PS4 edition of the game is completely absent from this week’s Top Ten, having claimed third position the week previous.
Further down in the software Top Ten, the only other new entries were Idea Factory’s Diabolik Lovers: Dark Fate and Furyu’s fellow Vita effort Yuki Yuna wa Yusha de Aru: Jukai no Kioku. The titles claimed sixth and seventh place, respectively.
Here’s the full software Top Ten for the week ending March 1st:
- Dragon Quest Heroes: Yamiryu to Sekaiju no Shiro (Square Enix) PS3 – 311,277 (New)
- Dragon Quest Heroes: Yamiryu to Sekaiju no Shiro (Square Enix) PS4 – 255,292 (New)

Sony’s PS4-exclusive cinematic shooter The Order: 1886 has debuted at the top of the UK retail charts, according to the latest Ukie Games Charts, compiled by GfK Chart-Track.
The Order’s chart-topping success marks Sony’s first number one position since The Last of Us Remastered in August 2014.
It’s also the second new release to shoot straight to the top of the rankings in as many weeks, following the multi-platform release of 2K Games’ co-operative first-person shooter Evolve during the previous week.
The latter game fell two places in its second week as sales dropped by two-thirds, landing just below Activision’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, which climbed one ranking to second.
Last week’s number two game, the remastered version of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, plummeted six spaces to eighth position. Sales of the title were down 70 per cent week-on-week.
Fellow 3DS entry Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate similarly tumbled down the rankings, down from fourth to sit just outside of the Top Ten in 12th place, as a result of a 68 per cent drop in sales.
Meanwhile, promotional activity during the half term week saw Ubisoft’s Far Cry 4 jump three spots to number four, sales rising by almost 30 per cent.
The prosperous half term period also boosted firm favourite Minecraft, with both the Xbox and PlayStation editions rising back up the charts.
The Xbox edition of the game climbed one place to number seven, while the PlayStation edition re-entered the Top Ten in ninth, a two-place rise on the previous week.
Grand Theft Auto V remained solidly in fifth position, with absolutely no change in sales.
In addition to The Order’s debut, last week also saw the release of Sega’s Total War: Attila on PC and Koei Tecmo’s fighting game Dead or Alive 5: Last Round for Xbox One and PS4, which entered the charts at numbers 21 and 27, respectively.
Here is the full UK retail charts Top Ten for the week ending February 21st:

Ubisoft has once again placed three titles in the UK retail Top Ten, as an Assassin’s Creed Unity promotion saw the game rise four spaces.
The Top Three games in the UK remained unchanged last week, with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare once again taking the number one position, according to the latest Ukie Games Charts, compiled by GfK Chart-Track.
This means that Activision’s shooter has spent the same amount of time in the top spot as EA’s fellow blockbuster FIFA 15 – eight weeks.
The latter game similarly clung onto third place, with Grand Theft Auto V sticking in second.
One big change in a week bereft of new Top 40 entries was the resurgence of Ubisoft’s Parisian stealth-action title Assassin’s Creed: Unity.
Unity saw sales shoot up by 25 per cent last week, following a retail promotion where the title’s average selling price fell by £5 from £32 to £27.
This resulted in the game jumping four positions to number four, ahead of the Xbox and PlayStation editions of block-building hit Minecraft at five and six, respectively.
The former retained its placing from the previous week, while the PlayStation version climbed three places, despite a six per cent drop in sales.
While Advanced Warfare cleaned up the top spot once again, fellow Activision shooter Destiny also saw success.
Sales of the sci-fi hit rose 15 per cent, leading the title to jump three places into number seven – its highest position so far in 2015.
Rounding out the Top Ten was Ubisoft open-world racer The Crew, up from 11th place the week before, meaning both Activision and Ubisoft had three games a piece.
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Activision)
- Grand Theft Auto V (Rockstar)
- FIFA 15 (EA)
- Assassin’s Creed: Unity (Ubisoft)
- Minecraft: Xbox Edition (Microsoft)
- Minecraft: PlayStation Edition (Sony)
- Destiny (Activision)
- Call of Duty: Ghosts (Activision)
- Far Cry 4 (Ubisoft)
- The Crew (Ubisoft)

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s return to the No.1 UK retail charts position means it is now drawing with Grand Theft Auto V’s top spot tally.
According to the latest Ukie Games Chart, compiled by GfK Chart-Track, sales of Activision’s latest entry in the blockbuster shooter IP surged 27 per cent last week, knocking Rockstar’s sprawling crime drama into second place.
It brings to an end the three-week run of the latter title at number one.
The feat means that Advanced Warfare and GTA V now have the same amount of both weeks at the top of the charts (seven) and consecutive weeks at number one (three).
Further down, EA’s FIFA 15 and Deep Silver’s Saints Row IV Re-Elected/Gat Out of Hell double-pack stuck at three and four, respectively.
Advanced Warfare’s predecessor, Call of Duty: Ghosts, slipped two places to number seven, clinging on to the Top Ten thanks to the tail of a retail promotion.
Outside of the Top Ten, 2D block-builder Terraria shoots up 15 places and 77 per cent in unit sales to take number 13 thanks to its retail launch on PS4 and Xbox One.
Here's the full UK Top Ten for the week ending January 31st:
- Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Activision)

Grand Theft Auto V is once again No.1 in the GfK Chart-Track Top 40.
This is the seventh time that Rockstar's crime title has take the top spot, meaning it has more No.1s than any other Grand Theft Auto title.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare returns to second place, while FIFA 15 drops to third with a ten per cent sales decline.
But Advanced Warfare isn't the only Call of Duty title in the Top Five – 2013's Ghosts shoots up the charts from No.30 to fifth place with a 401 per cent boost in sales. This is thanks to a retailer promotion.
Ubisoft's Far Cry 4 slips two places to sixth position, while its online racer The Crew drops four places to No.10 with a 22 per cent dip in sales last week.
