Top 5 accessories for your Xbox 360 this Christmas
Sony Blu-Ray Disc Remote
The PS3 isn’t just a games console. It doubles up as a Blu-ray player to play the latest films in full 1080p high definition. To get the most of this you can purchase Sony’s Blu—Ray Disc Remote for PS3. It makes it easier for non-gamers to navigate menus and makes scrolling through those DVD extras a doddle.
PS3 Wireless Keypad
One of the nice features about the PS3 is being able to send messages to friends for free over the console. The problem is that typing messages can get fiddly, and take too long. This PS3 Wireless Keypad features a QWERTY keypad that neatly attaches onto the top of a PS3 controller. It may look unnatural but you’d be surprised just how much easier and quicker it is to type out long messages.
