With the help of the Internet, the gaming industry has found a new life force in game swapping and reselling. Though sellers are not likely to get a cheque for the amount of the original price tag, selling old video games is a great way to pass along some digital entertainment to fellow game enthusiasts looking for a less expensive way to indulge their habit. In addition, it also earns you a bit of cash that you can put towards new games for your digital entertainment collection.

But how does one go about selling old video games? The most traditional way is to sell them in person to music and entertainment store. However, gamers have also turned to sites like Ebay and Amazon for years to resell old games. Becoming your own seller is usually reliable and secure, but it can be a bit laborious because you have to connect with buyers and ship the games to them. If you want to spend more time playing your new games than you spend trying to get rid of the old ones, there is a new selling trend that can help.

Sites like musicMagpie are making selling games less time-consuming by allowing you to sell as few as ten games at a time. Some of these online selling services even enable you to carry out your entire interaction without ever having to leave your home. With everything from courier service to pre-marked postage, you can just upload your information on their sites and then send the games without having to pay for shipping.

Selling games is a part of a larger trend in recycling digital entertainment. Using the same methods that are available for selling games, users can also sell music and movies. The digitisation of all things entertainment has aided this trend by making it possible to store all kinds of files and documents on the hard drive of a personal computer or, even more recently, cloud drives that can be accessed from any device. Because more and more people are using these space-saving and more convenient ways to catalogue music, movies and games, recycling your old disks could become an important source of income for you.

The team behind the award winning and innovative Wind-Up Radio  have officially, and proudly, launched the first ever water powered radio. This is powered by a new kind of micro turbine technology. The hit TV show Dragons Den has been a showcase for the The H2O™ and the earlier of the product ranges.

The new Shower Powered Radio from The H2O™ gives listeners an energy efficient and convenient way of tuning into their favourite radio shows whilst having a shower. Using the patented and unique micro turbine concept, the radio is solely powered by the motion of the water flowing through the The H2O™ micro turbine. This is turns drives the generator which creates the energy to power the FM radio and the internal battery recharges as the shower is running.

Turning on automatically when the shower is used, the H2O™ Shower Powered Radio memorises the last chosen radio station and speaker volume. The radio even allows users to carry on listening after the shower is turned off; using any excess energy stored in an integral Ni-Mh rechargeable cell.

Installing the H2O™ Shower Powered Radio is simple, with no need for tools. The small, slim design slots directly on to the faucet of the shower; placing the radio in a position to use the steady flow of water on its way to the shower head, without impinging or getting in the way of the shower user. The radio is also waterproof, receiving a waterproof rating of IP44, and so complying with industry standards.

The patented H2O™ micro turbine technology is the latest technology from the H2O™ design labs. Previously, Vivian Blick, Managing Director of Tango Group, the owners of the H2O™ brand, the company behind the radio, showcased the H2O™ brand and its first generation of products on the hit BBC television series Dragon’s Den.

Inventor Vivian Blick is also a former director of Freeplay Energy Group, the company behind the commercialisation of the Wind-up Radio, which was invented by Trevor Baylis OBE in the 1990s.

The Wind-up Radio was invented in order to help raise awareness of AIDS in Africa, where the cost of batteries or electricity made radios expensive or too difficult to access. In June of 1996 the Freeplay radio was awarded the BBC Design Award for Best Product and Best Design, and in October 1997, Trevor was awarded an OBE by The Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace in relation to the product.

Vivian Blick, Managing Director of Tango Group, the owners of H2O™, had the following to say about the launch of the H2O™ Shower Powered Radio:

“Having seen huge success with the commercialisation of the Wind-Up Radio; we were constantly looking into new ways that further innovations in the radio sector could be made. Creating the now-patented micro turbine technology, that allows the radio to operate solely through the flow of water, was the key to our new innovation; and thus the world’s first water-powered shower radio was created.”

“We are extremely excited about the launch of the H2O™ Shower Powered Radio; particularly given its presence as the only radio of its kind available on the market. The radio gives users a unique means of listening to the radio in the bathroom, without having to worry about the inconvenience that disposable batteries can cause. With the clear sound, and excellent reception that the radio enjoys; we hope to encourage singing in the shower all around the UK.”

The H2O Shower Powered Radio is available from Amazon – click image below for more details.

With the release of the SonicMaster, Asus has developed a kind of personalised greeting card program that’s almost a game – it’s so fun to play around with. You make a music box, as they call it, with the easy 5-step process and your friend, or whoever you wish, receives your face on a music star’s body speaking your own recorded greeting in your voice, backed by a band playing whatever music you choose, making the combination is quite fascinating.

Of course, you don’t have to use your own face or a face at all. You can put up any picture you want of anything you want, just remember, it ends up in the place of the head of the music star.

For that matter, you don’t even have to record a greeting. You could “moo” like a cow the whole time or sing some stupid lyrics to make them laugh. You could make up a song about them, put a chicken’s head on the singer, to have them falling out of their seats, so there is no end of fun with this game-like greeting card program.

To top this off, you can share it through either email or social media, such as Facebook. You can challenge them to a competition to make their own. The steps are simple enough for even a child to complete a card. First, choose a music box, which plays a specified type of music. The available types include such things as Indie Rock, Crooner, Diva, Girl/Boy with Accordian, etc…

Next, upload your chosen photo, then you record your message or song or sounds, or whatever you can imagine, followed by writing some message. Lastly, just share the masterpiece with as many people as you like, however you like, as there is a link, an email interface, and a Facebook interface.

Even though this is a sponsored post, I have to say that I’ve messed with it and had lots of laughs with my friends. Try sending the back of your head as a photo or sing some non-sense words, peppered with an intelligent phrase of 2-3 words now and then. The phrases together should make some hidden message. Send that with a message you have typed in backward, right to left, and you will get the best replies and loads of fun.

So now you want to try it yourself, here it is: http://www.sonicmaster.asus.com/event/2010/musicbox/index.aspx . Have a go at it!

Even better, since most people travel throughout their daily activities with their iPod strapped to their hip the accessories can help enhance the music experience or simply help protect the expensive but much loved electronic gadgets.

iPod docks are a great choice for those that want to play their iPods on the go or during periods of inactivity.  This is because often the docks come with built in speakers so that you can simply set the Mp3 player into the dock and then listen to the music without headphones.  Other docks will charge an iPod from the upright position so that you can safely store your iPod while getting it charged up for the next time that you will need to use it.  In fact, there are even some clock radio iPod docks that make great novelty presents.

For iPod owners that are constantly driving, car adaptors make be an excellent solution to making a trip more enjoyable.  There are many different iPod car adaptors on the market including those that plug into a CD player so that you can listen to your playlists while driving down the road.

Other car adaptors plug into an auxiliary slot and play through the stereo system if you have a newer car model.  In addition, some adaptors plug into the cigarette lighter so that you can charge up your iPod for the next time that you plan on using it.  This can be great in between trips or simply while travelling when plugging it into an electrical outlet may not be an option.

Outside of these iPod accessories, there are many more add-ons out there designed to prevent iPods from damage.  Given the fact that these electronic MP3 players are on the expensive side, you will want to take the proper steps to protect it from damage.  This includes placing it inside a cover when you are not using it if you have not yet looked into iPod docks, or keeping it in a cover even while you are using it so that if it drops the iPod does not take the impact.

In addition, you may want to think about buying a pouch or strap accessory so that you can physically attach the iPod to your wrist or arm while jogging.  For those that are athletic or simply on the move a lot while commuting, this can be a great accessory since you can stop worrying about the iPod sliding out of your coat pocket or jean pocket.  Plus, for girls having an alternative way not to tuck the device into tight jeans is a great find.

Essence 2 costs just £12.99 and features ‘combi-control’.  It will operate the TV and set top box at the same time – there’s no need to change modes, let alone switch between two different remotes.

The Essence range is really easy to programme too. To set up a Samsung TV, for example, just press the ‘Magic’ key, press the ‘TV’ key, then press and hold the ’7′ digit until the TV switches off. That’s it!   This three button SimpleSet system, unique to One For All, works for all the most popular brands. No more searching for code numbers, you’ll be up and running in minutes.

The Essence 3 model costs £14.99 and operates three devices – TV, satellite/cable/freeview box and DVD. It has the same pre-installed combi-control and SimpleSet features, and comes in white instead of black.

Four devices can be controlled by Essence 4 – TV, satellite/cable/freeview box, DVD, plus amplifier/tuner or home cinema unit. It also has a ‘learning’ feature which means you can copy any function from the original remote onto any key of the Essence 4. It is priced £17.99.

The range is completed by the Essence TV, an ideal digital TV replacement remote, at £9.99.

Essence is compatible with both traditional and digital TV, so buying now is a future-proof decision. There’s also a 160 degree infra red lens, so it can be operated at just about any angle.

With its easy menu navigation and set up, the new Essence range simplifies digital TV viewing and reduces clutter.
