My girlfriend and I were going to buy a Wii because it looks great. I used to be a gamer guy but a 28 I wonder if I will probbaly get bored of this in 2 weeks? Also what do they cost and when will they be available. They are on amazon fro £379 but I thought they were less than half of that. Can anyone tell ne where to preorder and if they think i might get any use out of it? I dont want to buy it then sell it on ebay for £5 IN 6 MONTHS

I just got a iPOD nano, and come to find out I had to get iTUNES. I see no point buying music when you can just get it free music from Limewire. Well, I was wondering instread of buying music from iTUNES, and using my old CDs that I don't like anymore could I use limewire to put music on my iPOD?

I have a Philips digital camera that I just purchased for Christmas, and I plug the USB cable into my computer, and the other end into my camera and the "new hardware found" message does not appear.

One guy came to my apartment and said I cant have cable tv due to no cable put in at that side of the wall. My question is can i hire a guy low price to come in to put cable into the wall so they can hook up cable tv to my apartment??? Also, is this a hard job or big job? I dont understand buildings that are 50 years old can hook up to cable but when I bought my new apartment they cable guy said the men that built my apartment forgot to put cable in wall. Does this make sense?? Any suggestions????

I would like to change my PAYG orange phone to another PAYG service (probably T-Mobile). But am not exactly sure how it works.

Will my phone function exactly as it does at the moment?
Will getting a new SIM mean I have to change number?

When will Best Buy have the Nintendo Wii in stock? If it helps, my zip code is 90025. I have $110 worth of gift cards from Best Buy. It would be nice if Best Buy would have a shipment soon (before New Years).

I have a 32" LCD TV and I was thinking about getting a 5.1 system (logitech or creative) to get surround sound for movies. However, I don't want to go all out for a high powered home theatre system from Onkyo or Sony or something. $59.99-$99.99 for a simple 5.1 system sounds more palatable to me than $199+. And since I don't have a big place, I don't need the huge speakers. However, do the computer speakers deliver a credible surround sound experience?

My sister and I share a computer and we don't really like the same music. If I have just changed the songs and update my iPod, when she plugs in her iPod and opens up iTunes it automatically updates her iPod with my songs. How can we fix this?

this was a gift and brand new but it would work for one picture and then stop working- took it in and it would take a few pictures, then it would act up again and not work- finally wolf camera shop said that it was not worth having it repaired since the sensor (which must have been going bad right from the beginning) would cost as much as the camera. Is that true? I never did know where it was purchased since it was a gift but I have all the original boxes and components that came with the camera.

I am looking for a replacement for a li-poly battery which is 1250mAh, 11.1v, 10c discharge.

I understand 11.1 is voltage, 1250milliamps/hour but what is 10c and how does this relate to the output?

I have seen replacement batteries of 1200mAh as an option, with 8c or 12c but nothing exactly the same.
Price is less of an issue so willing to pay more for better/longer lasting version if possible.
Can i go to 1200mAh rather than 1250 or should i go up to1300 or more?

The battery is used in a r/c model where it goes through a ESC into a brushless motor.

Thanks in advance,
