Sky Player on Xbox 360 review
Software

Expands the Xbox 360's capabilities and is a real bonus for existing Sky subscribers, but lacks some of the PC version's features.

PCs

CCL's CCL-CS1209 is a quick yet quiet computer that performs well, particularly in games, but we'd have liked better application performance.

External hard drives

Buffalo's USB3 DriveStation is easily the fastest external hard disk we've seen. It's pricy, but it's worth having if time is a big issue.

DVD/blu-ray drives Home cinema systems TVs

A budget home cinema kit, the HT-BD1252's tinny speakers don't impress, and it has limited features.

eReaders

An attractive and sturdy device, the Story has more open format support, but the keyboard is almost redundant and it's not as easy to use or as good value as Amazon's Kindle.

PCs

A decent Windows 7-powered Ion nettop, but it's far bigger and more expensive than Asus's EB1012.

Given the problems that we had in testing, we recommend holding off on SATA 600 for the time being.

Canon Pixma iX7000 review
Home office Inkjet printers Printers

An appealing low-cost alternative to an A3 colour laser printer for office use, but HP's Officejet 7000 is faster and better value.
