You may remember way back in June we ran something called the Birthday Bonanza, knocking one product a day down to a ridiculous price to celebrate ten years of Firebox gadgety goodness. It was talked about, blogged about and we even got sent a birthday cake. In fact we've had lots of people asking if we'll be doing it again so we've decided to give our gorgeous customers an extra special Christmas present.

Every single day in the Firebox Festive Frenzy (try saying that after too much mulled wine) a different Firebox product will be discounted by up to 50%! But you'll have to be quick as the offers only last for 24 hours each (or until we run out - there's only a limited number available).

I will update the second post in this thread daily with the new product

Cheapest I can find for this game, you also get a guide that includes a £3 voucher.

In the future, Earth's appetite for resources has become a major motivator for deep space exploration. Immense, privately-owned and operated mining ships called "planetcrackers" orbit planets and use sophisticated equipment to carve out entire city-sized chunks of rock, and reduce them to component elements and raw ore.

Communications with one of these planetcrackers, the USG Nishimura, have ceased while the ship is engaged in deep space mining operations.

The company's top engineer, Isaac Clarke, is sent to discover the problem and fix it. Once onboard the vessel, Clarke discovers that a terrifying alien presence has taken over the ship, and has horribly killed the crew. Weaponless and terrified, this lone engineer is burdened with much more than simple survival - he holds the fate of all mankind in his hands.

Dismemberment: This game's core mechanic is the strategic dismemberment of alien appendages. In true survival horror fashion, you must conserve ammo - in true Hollywood horror fashion, it's all about seeing bone fragments and arterial spray fly across the room. Enemies in the game are resilient. The conventional wisdom that a headshot will stop an alien is thrown out in Dead Space.

Setting and Atmosphere: Dead Space is an immersive, interactive horror movie experience. An emergent, panic-inducing audio system, an innovative Minority Report-style HUD, and a nuanced, scary pace that will sink you into the game experience.

Unique Weaponry: Stasis Gun is used to slow charging aliens and to help solve puzzles. The Gravity Gun and unique projectile-based weaponry are mining tools - your ability to upgrade weapons increases as you progress through the game.

Zero Gravity: Survive and destroy the aliens in Zero G environments. Manipulate gravity with Havok physics to solve puzzles and fight enemies.

I wanted one of those figurines, they look so cool.  Can't believe I never got one with my order.

Developed by Media Molecule, LittleBigPlanet is a new PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system community-based game with a hugely innovative concept behind it. Players meet on a blue and green planet scattered with individual plots - and use their character's amazing abilities to play, create and share what they build with other gamers throughout the world via PlayStation Network.

The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players learning about their character's powers to interact physically with the environment. There are places to explore, creative resources to collect and puzzles to solve - all requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As soon as players begin their creative skills will grow and they will soon be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings - the first step to sharing them with the whole community.

Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together 3D landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to view and play. There's no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learned by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the gameplay experience and playing is part of the creative experience. Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like. When it's ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigPlanet community to come and explore their patch - or can go and explore everybody else's.

COD WAW Free with any Xbox: Pro, Arcade and Elite.

Ends Tuesday 18th

It's a nice game, you can design you sackboy anyway you like, dress him up and slap a sticker on him.  Multiplayer player is pretty fun, I like stop the other person get anyway safely.  I make my sackboy dude who looks like a pirate (check my avatar) to grab the other player when he jumps over a fire, then let go of him so he falls into the fire, I then laugh like a girl.  You can play other peoples creations too, theres a gladiators themed one which is very good, when it gets to the travellator it is pretty hard, but when the other player you're racing is near the top and your are behind him just grab him and pull him back down.  It is so much fun doing that.  Having used my dirty tactics online, don't think they would appreciate it.
