Regular readers will probably have picked up on how much of a Nine Inch Nails fan I am. Trent Reznor (the man behind NIN) seems to be spearheading the free music revolution. Their last album "Ghosts", was an experimental instrumental album, in four parts. The first part was completely free, and the rest was only $5 to download, as well as being available in a range of physical formats. He's gone one step further now.
As of today, their new album "The Slip" is available in a range of DRM free formats, completely free of charge. If you've never listened to them before, now is a great time to start.
The production is fantastic, and it is better than the vast majority of music for sale right now. The really cool thing about this is that by taking the record label out of the equation, not only is music getting cheaper, we are also getting more of it, this is the first time we have ever had 2 albums from NIN in the same year.
Viva La Revolution!

You have to go through Amazon.de, but a UK Amazon account will work, and the menus are pretty intuitive. The HD-DVD drive is region free, although you will need to get a new power supply, or an adapter.
It won't work with Maestro cards (sadly) otherwise I would have ordered one at this price.
Let me know if you have any problems with the process.
Thanks to Mike for the tip off.

This was a real guilty pleasure of mine on the Xbox. I've not even seen the film but I had a lot of fun with this game. It felt like a streamlined version of GTA, in fact, a lot of the cool new features from GTA4 were in this game first. From what I hear the Wii controls are great too. I didn't realise at the time, but this is from the same developer as Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and they really know how to make open world games. The graphics and music are fantastic too. Don't forget that if you have an HMV student card, you can use it online too, bringing this down to £13.49.
Buy it you cock-a-roach.

What is Nintendo doing with all their money?
Nintendo have been having a lot of success recently, with huge international sales of both the DS and the Wii consoles, and great software sales.
You have to wonder what they are doing with that money. It turns out, they have thrown a bunch of money at Wallmart.
Take a look at the Wallmart homepage (as of 03/05/08) -

Pretty much one of the most perfectly crafted games ever.
Games are (sometimes) art, and if you disagree you've either not played this or you you have yoghurt for brains.
It's under a tenner. Buy it, buy it now.
