POSTER OF THE WEEK
COOLEST THING CONNECTED TO AN UNCOOL THING OF THE WEEK
An R2D2 Xbox is without argument a very cool thing indeed, and will look great next to our TARDIS Blu-ray player (what, you haven’t got a TARDIS Blu-ray player?). Sadly, it’s being launched as part of the publicity push for the unbearably naff-looking Star Wars Kinect . Just try to ignore that part.
