Video: Rock Band 2 unboxed and ready to rock

Crave We got our hands on the new Rock Band 2 game disc and hardware, and gave the setup a quick run-through (purely in the name of journalism, of course). Of course, anyone who shelled out for a full setup last year will still be able to use their old...

Hands-on with the Scandyna Micropod SE and Minibass

Crave But even at low volume, The Dock, the Micropod SEs and the Minibass provide a seriously impressive audio setup. The above setup will set you back about £450, but it's a price we'd be happy to part with.

Photos: Sony's Vaio RM1N quad-core video-editing monster

Crave It's a weird setup, but there's no arguing it looks impressive. We don't particularly like the way it looks in the vertical setup, but it makes sense for people who want to put their monitor on top of the base unit.

Photos: Hands-on with Denon's CX3 high-end miniature hi-fi

Crave Together, this beautiful setup will cost you a shade under £3,000. If you can afford the complete setup, it's a worthy reason to delay that operation or push back your loved one's vital blood transfusion.

Jessops Portaflash Digital Studio Kit: Studio in a bag

Crave This is a basic lighting setup rather than a complete studio, such as the Cubelite kits which include backgrounds. The old saying is that photography is painting with light. Controlling the amount of light in your pictures is essential, especially...

PlayStation 3: Hands-on with Sony's new console

Crave Product shots we'd seen had made the unit seem rather big and bulky, but in real life it's a willowy little thing and the curves on the casing will make it blend nicely into any AV setup. Setup was a cinch: HDMI in, power cable in, power on, a few...

Intempo GX01: Net radio for the streaming n00b

Hands-on with the Griffin Amplifi 2.1 iPod speakers

Crave The Amplifi's twin speaker drivers may lack the crystalline hi-fi sparkle of an audiophile-approved rack of separates, but we have no qualms about recommending this system to anyone who wants an affordable yet powerful all-in-one iPod setup.
