We're spreading the word of what looks to be a pretty decent PC games-bundle offer today - and one that is likely to appeal, in particular, to those of you who enjoy war as the driving theme.

Steam is offering 18 different titles to download - since all purchases are delivered digitally - all bundled together for a very reasonable ?26.49. With an individual price of ?209.82 and a usual package price of ?52.99 this "Early Holiday Sale" seems pretty decent.

Titles include Company of Heroes, Red Faction Guerrilla and various releases from the Warhammer 40,000 series.

The offer is for today only and there is a link here which will take you through to the deal - enabling you to have a good look at all the titles on offer and join up if you're not already a member.?

The humble computer mouse, admittedly not the most exciting piece of tech out there, but pretty essential, unless your an absolute whiz at navigating with the keyboard.

The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse is one such device and is available at Play.com for a pretty reasonable ?24.99. Reviewed in October it was given a price tag of ?34.99 so seeing a third off in just a month seems non too shabby.

The specs include battery life of around 10 months along with a handy indicator so you know when it's time to swap them over, 4-way scrolling and 4 customisable buttons.

The transceiver, which enables the wireless functionality, slots into the mouse for easy transport and as the device comes with Microsoft's BlueTrack tech, it should work effectively on a variety of worktops such as granite, wood or carpet.

There is a full review which goes into a more detail regarding usability and there are a variety of colours to choose from at Play.com, so if you're interested click through on this link which will take you to the deal.

If you're a radio lover then this tech deal could transport you to tranny heaven as we take a look at the Tesco DAB-907 Mono radio. Despite its basic functionality it has one redeeming quality - its ?24.97 price tag.

So trying to put any concerns aside of how in fact Tesco manage to sell electronics equipment at this kind of price we can look to the specs.

As stated they are basic - the speakers are of the mono variety with 1 Watt RMS (sustained output), you get a digital tuner with stations and clock shown on an LCD.

If you want to take it out and about you'll need 6 x AA batteries (not included) and it will receive FM as well as DAB.

If you want to take a closer look then you should click through on this link that'll take you through to Tesco direct.

If you're in the market for a PAYG phone then you could do a lot worse than heading over to Orange, who are offering some free gifts along with your phone purchase.

The free gifts include the main event - a pair of Skull Candy headphones - along with 5 minutes worth of free international calls - perhaps good for that quick call to an overseas aunt and 30 free photo messages. You'll also get some free downloads for games, ringtones, etc... and some bits that you probably won't want, such as a yo-yo and card wallet.

The offer includes handsets ranging from ?30 and up so examples of phones available come in the form of the Alcatel OT-708, the middle of the range LG Cookie, through to the Nokia 5800, which will set you back ?205.

This link will take you through to the Orange website where you can take a look at all the phones on offer. After you've picked your phone you'll have to choose the animal-related PAYG plan that you want and how you want it delivered, which thankfully includes a free option.

Today's tech deal brings you word of a deal being run by Quidco - apparently the UK's leading cashback website - and BT - the telecommunications behemoth.

Quidco is offering cashback over a wide range of BT's home products, with BT's broadband, phone and BT Vision package available with ?90 cashback. There's also 3 months free broadband to be had when switching you phone line or calls to BT.

In order to take advantage of the offer click through on this link that will take you to the Quidco offer, from then on it's all pretty self-explanatory and as long as you go to the BT site via Quidco you'll be entitled to the cashback.

Of course this will mean signing up to Quidco, but from what we can make out this is a relatively painless exercise and once completed you have until the 11 December to advantage of the offer.

Like it or not, it's mid November and we're already having Christmas thrust upon us, and if you're one of the many who are planning on centring their Christmas around the tradition of Christmas telly as opposed to the birth of Jesus, then this could be the tech deal for you.

Tesco direct is pushing its Sky+HD boxes by offering one free when you purchase a TV and join the Sky+HD service, admittedly it means shelling out quite a bit of cash but if you're in the market anyway it might be something to consider.

If you join before 24 December you'll also receive a ?50 Tesco Gift Card - as long as you're a new customer. Bear in mind, however, that charges for the Sky+ service range from ?28-?58.50 and minimum sign-up is for 12 months, along with the fact that the Sky+ functionality is rather dependent on your subscription and therefore may become redundant if you decide not to renew.

If you're up for it though it seems like a good offer as you'll be able to store around 30 hours of high-def TV on the unit and Tesco has a decent selection of TVs to choose from, ranging from 14-inchers to 47-inch+ monsters.

This link will take you to Tesco direct where everything is laid out for you and don't forget to read the terms and conditions tucked away neatly at the bottom of the page.

In order to take advantage of the discount you will have to head over to MyVoucherCodes.co.uk first, where you can pick up the relevant code to use when you place your order.

If you're already a member, fine, if not it'll involve embarking on a relatively painless sign-up process. To take the sting out of having to sign up, MyVoucherCodes.co.uk is also starting a huge give away, which will run from 18 November for 30 days. This involves earning tickets by being involved with the website and thereby being entered into a prize draw.

Prizes are daily with a minimum value of ?500 and you'll be notified immediately if you've won. There's also an obscenely large give away at the end of the 30-day period where one person will win ?1500 worth of prizes.

This link will take you through to MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, where you'll be able to sign up and take advantage of the discount at GadgetsUK.com and hopefully win something to boot.

We had a look at the PS3 yesterday and the news that Sainsbury's were selling the Slim version for ?200.

Today we thought we'd give Sony's rival a chance and take a look at an Xbox 360 Elite bundle, which includes COD: Modern Warfare 2 and is on sale at Play.com for, what seems, a rather reasonable ?200.

The Elite version of the console comes with a 120GB hard drive, allowing you to store a variety of content from the Xbox Live marketplace. In the bundle you'll also get a black Xbox Live headset for playing online and a 1-month subscription of Xbox Live Gold membership.

This link will take you to Play.com where you can take a look for yourself and we'll have another tech deal for you tomorrow.

The news that Sainsbury's is cutting the price of the 120GB PS3 Slim by 20% - now available for ?200 - is admittedly pretty widespread, but the fact that it's a pretty decent offer, and just in case you weren't aware, meant that it deserved a slot.

A quick look, however, on the Sainsbury's website will show that Sony's sought after console is now out of stock. Your best bet, therefore, is to click on the "email me when in stock" button, so you can be right there to order when it comes back in.

If you simply can't wait, we had a look around and the next best deal seems to be from Tesco -? selling its 120GB PS3 Slim with Fifa 10 for ?249. Obviously only suitable if you were going down the Fifa route anyway, the deal means you'll be around a tenner down on the Sainsbury's offer - with Fifa being sold separately for ?40.

Click here for the Sainsbury's deal if you're of a patient disposition and don't mind waiting, alternatively there's a link here to the Tesco deal. Before you make a your decision, however, you might want to click through to our full review of the PS3 Slim, which received a whopping 9/10 score.

An interesting tech deal for you today, which should suit gamers, as SwapGame.com has announced its new online trade-in service, giving you credit - not cash - for unwanted games, thereby reducing the price of your next purchase.

The launch comes on the back of a SwapGame poll that suggests that, here in the UK, people have around ?1.8 billion of unused video games with a third of those having "over ?100". Thankfully, SwapGame is coming to the rescue with its timely service.

Despite some reports suggesting the average game trade-in value at SwapGame.com is around the ?25 mark, on typing in a few game titles, it turns out the site will give you ?5.18 for Grand Theft Auto IV on PS3 with the Xbox 360 version getting a little more at ?5.44, whereas Modern Warfare 2 will end up banking you around ?20 on both formats.

Postage is free, the site has plenty of titles to choose from and there's no traipsing around the shops - so you'll have to weigh up the pros and cons yourself if you feel trade-in prices might be on the low side.

There's a link here so you can make a full investigation - please leave your thoughts below - and we'll have another tech deal for you on Monday.

If you hadn't noticed already, there is a moustache-themed thread running through Pocket-lint at the moment, this being in no small part due to our participation in Movember - a charity geared towards increasing awareness and raising money for prostate cancer.

Seeing as there hasn't been a 'tache-related tech deal we thought it was time, and it takes the form of the Remington R7130 on sale at Boots for ?68.49 and down from its original RRP of ?136.99.

The Teflon Flex and Pivot Rotary shaver uses Titanium and Teflon coated blades, which is apparently designed to give a close shave as well as protect skin from irritation.

The three independent floating heads and pivoting neck should also make the shave decent, whilst the pop-up trimmer is just the thing for detailed styling (moustachioed men take note).

Battery life seems reasonable with 1.5-hour charge giving an hours run time or you can go for that quick 5 minute refill that should be good for one full shave. Remaining usage time can be viewed on its LCD display.

To take a closer look at the Remington R7130 click through on the link and if you'd like to see how all the Pocket-lint 'taches are coming along, check out the Movember Diaries.

Since the iPhone, where to get it and what tariff to choose seems to be the hot topic of the moment, we thought we'd guide any would-be contract signers to a deal that Quidco is running.

The cashback website Quidco has teamed up with Mobiles.co.uk to offer a discounted rate on all iPhone handsets, meaning that all Quidco members will get a ?60 cashback when arranging an 18- or 24-month contract with either Orange or O2.

In order to give you a run down of the exact tariffs from each operator, Pocket-lint has collated all the info in our feature - Best iPhone tariffs: O2 vs Orange. You'll then be in a good position to pop over and join Quidco before heading over to Mobiles.co.uk.

On the day that all eyes are on Orange and its first day of selling the iPhone, we thought we'd try and keep an even hand and let you know of a deal that O2 is offering as Sky Mobile TV launches on the iPhone.

In a bid to remain competitive now that another operator is getting in on the iPhone act, O2 is offering 3 months free Sky Mobile TV when you download the Sky Mobile TV app, worth ?6 a month.

The service will allow you to watch Sky Sports 1, 2, 3, Sky Sports News, Sky Sports Extra, At The Races and ESPN - all available through Wi-Fi.

To take advantage of the offer, text SKY to 2020 for your promotional code - you will need this as part of the subscription process and then download the app by searching for BSkyB Mobile TV - the code will then be used during the sign-in process for the app.

Just to help you out here's the small print in a more regular size:

"Available to iPhone customers on O2 in the UK only. After your first three months' subscription, you will automatically be charged for Sky Mobile TV at ?6 a month unless you notify Sky that you no longer wish to receive the service before the last day of your 3 month free subscription period. Only one promotion code per mobile phone number. Texts to 2020 are free. Offer limited to 150,000 customers or until 2nd February 2010, whichever comes first".

There's a link here to the O2 page where you'll find details in full.

To get the tech deals up and running this week we have the Samsung ES19 digital camera from Currys, who has seen fit to price the product at ?69.99.

For your 70 notes you get a pretty straightforward specifications list, but one that should be fine for no nonsense every day snapping. Apart from the 12-megapixel sensor you'll get a 2.5-inch LCD to view you pictures on, 3x optical zoom, face detection, digital image stabilisation and a beauty shot feature.?

The high res sensor means that anything you print up to A3 should still look decent and the camera can also shoot 640 x 480 VGA resolution videos at a frame rate of 30fps.

Currys is offering free delivery and is willing to pick up the old product for recycling. This link will take you to the Currys website and we'll have another tech deal for you tomorrow.

Something for the weekend? Any iPhone or iPod touch owners may well be interested in today's tech deal, as LogMeIn is putting its award-winning Ignition for iPhone application on sale.

LogMeIn Ignition for iPhone and iPod touch normally retails at ?17.99, but this weekend the app will be available at the discounted price of 11.99 via the Apple App Store. This offer is available today, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November.

Ignition for iPhone enables users to control their computers from their Apple iPhone and iPod touch when out and about, the upshot of which means that you'll never have to be away from your computer and possibly work. Although clearly of use to some, paying for the privilege of spending any more time in front of your PC might seem a little perverse.

Still, the offer is a good one and as mentioned lasts all weekend.

It's always nice to report on a company striving for eco credibility, that green label being all so important for companies who at least need to be seen to be doing something, even if the impact of their actions is limited.

In this case Orange are starting their Recycle & Reward scheme, which enables people to recycle their old mobiles, laptops and personal music players in UK Orange stores in exchange for cash. The company reckons that "two thirds of Brits have old mobiles gathering dust in their homes which equates to approximately 90 million unused handsets worth approximately ?450 million".

The company also states that the scheme is: "Underlining Orange's commitment to becoming a more sustainable, greener business, Recycle & Reward will help reduce the amount of electronic goods sent to landfill and, instead, help consumers obtain a competitive price for them".

In store you'll be able to find out how much your old unit is worth and after you've left the unit with them Orange says you should receive a cheque within 7 days. Examples of of the amount of money you can expect to receive for particular items include, up to ?85 for Nokia N95, ?75 for a Sony Ericsson C905 and ?95 for a Samsung SCH 900. Orange will also recycle electronic devices and accessories with no monetary value.

Orange is also offering a "Copy and Keep" service to enable customers to transfer essential contacts, music, and photos in all Orange retail stores, an attempt to remove the hassle of transferring the data yourself. The service is free to all Orange care customers and if you're not part of their gang then it'll set you back ?6.

Paul French, head of care products said: "At Orange, we’ve made some significant strides recently in reducing the environmental impact of our business. For instance, 80% of our electricity now comes from renewable sources while in July we introduced the mini-SIM to
reduce the amount of waste associated with new SIM cards Recycle & Reward is just another small step, for us as a business and for the public, in our journey towards greener, more sustainable practices".

There doesn't appear to be any mention in the release of where and how the products are to be recycled, or whether they will be sold on to - for want of a better term - emerging markets.

There is no denying it, the end of the year is in sight with all its usual festivities, and with it there is the usual extra push on consumers to spend their hard-earned cash.

One way you might want to do this is in the creation of a personalised photo-calendar, if so, then Ebuyer's photo service - SnapFish - can help in not only the creation, but by offering a 50% reduction of the usual cost - taking it to ?7.50. With this you'll also get credits for 30 free 6 x 4-inch prints when you upload your first photo to the site.

A point you might want to consider before going ahead is that the delivery of the calendar will cost you ?1.99, taking your total spend to ?9.49. For this ?1.99, however, SnapFish says the calendar will be delivered "straight to your door" (As opposed to dumping it at the end of the street?), which is good of them.

You'll need the coupon code "50CAL" to claim the discount and the offer is available for 2 weeks only, finishing on the 16 November 2009.

This link will take you straight through to the SnapFish registration page and we'll have another tech deal for you tomorrow.

Today's tech deal might just hit the right note with any petrol heads out there, or more accurately Porsche fans, as we have word that the Porsche Design Eton radio and iPod dock has been reduced in price from ?480 to ?299.

This new price perhaps gives a more accurate representation of what you're actually getting in terms of function, as despite the product being available for just over a year, the ?180 saving is still considerable and hints at what you were actually paying for - the logo.

The device gets three 1.5-inch drivers and a 3-inch, 15 Watt subwoofer which is housed in a double wall construction for apparently "superior acoustics". It also comes with 10 FM and 20 DAB memory presets, 12/24 hour clock, alarm battery back-up and a remote control complete with torch. If that wasn't enough the Eton P'9123 also gets an OLED display.

Measuring 130 x 141 x 229mm and weighing in at 2.8 kilograms, the P'9123 is available now at the lower price from the Porsche Design website.

Subject tracking, advanced face priority and 4x anti-blur all help in your quest for that perfect shot. Nikon's smart portrait system on the other hand includes a smile timer, blink warning and skin softening - which adjusts un-even skin tones - ensuring that everyone will be struggling to recognise themselves when you finally get round to printing the pictures.

With the vast array of compact cameras available, if you're in the market for one it can possibly be a bit daunting to choose. So, as ever, Pocket-lint's tech deal will attempt to point you in the general direction of one of the better efforts, whilst keeping a close eye on the cash.

Play.com are currently selling the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 for just shy of ?150. Although they are claiming a saving of ?100 on the original ?250 RRP, from what we've seen in reality it's a saving of around ?30 on the next-best price.

The first thing to grab your attention is the 14.7-megapixel CCD sensor which makes use of the decent 28mm wide-angle Leica zoom lens, giving you 3.6x optical and 4x digital zoom.

All of your pictures can be viewed on the 2.7-inch LCD display, whilst the camera itself is feature packed with intelligent auto mode, AF tracking, scene selector, ISO control up to 1600 and scene selector.

The Panasonic DMC-FX150 is given the full run down on the Play.com website but we'd recommend visiting Pocket-lint's full review first, where the camera received a not-to-be-sniffed-at 8/10 score.

Acer announced the Aspire Revo back in April, of note perhaps because it was the first small form factor PC to offer the Nvidia ION platform, apparently offering 10x faster graphic performance than comparable PCs.

Ebuyer now has the Aspire Revo on sale for ?239.99 which is ?40 off from its previous price of ?280. ?

Acer claims the diminutive desktop has "graphic capability worthy of a true multimedia PC", and is angled as an entertainment centre for the family. Due to its Nvidia GeForce 9400 chipset can also be used as as a gaming console.

Specs include 802.11b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi, Ethernet, HDMI, six USB ports, DirectX 10, 2GB RAM expandable up to 4GB, Mini PCI Express slot and Windows Vista.

On the Ebuyer website, link below, you'll also find a link of how to go about upgrading to Windows 7.

To celebrate the forthcoming Windows 7 release, PC World has announced that it will be discounting some of its hardware as well as Window 7 itself.

Perhaps one for the more enthusiastic among you this deal begins at the PC World Tottenham Court Road shop from midnight on 21 October.

Toshiba and Dell laptops are included in the discounts as well as the Packard Bell iXtreme quad core PC, which will be available with up to ?150 off the RRP.

PC World is also doing a trade-in offer for all UK customers which will mean an entitlement to ?100 off any laptop when you hand in your old one.

In terms of the Windows 7 discount, it'll possibly mean queuing up outside the shop, as it's only the first 200 who are entitled to the half price offer.

Cameron McMillan, manager of the PC World Tottenham Court Road store comments: "This is well worth staying up late for. By opening the doors at midnight our customers will not only be the first in the country to get hold of this fantastic new operating system but will also be able to advantage of some amazing deals in-store".

So if you're not a student (who've already had their opportunity to pick the new OS at a discount) you live in London and don't have work in the morning, this could be for you...

If you're still enjoying the wonders of a video home system (VHS) or digital versatile disk player (DVD) and are thinking of upgrading at some point, you might be interested to hear that Richer Sounds are selling a Blu-ray player (ehh, BRP?) for under ?100.

Described as the "UK's first top brand Blu-ray player under ?100", the LG BD350 will set you back ?99.95.

There are no bells and whistles with this effort - no BD live or Ethernet connection -? but it does the main job in that it'll enable you to play 1080p HD content. Connections include a HDMI output, Component and both optical and coaxial digital.

The other snag is that it's not available to order online, meaning you'll have to pop into your nearest shop, thankfully Richer Sounds has a store finder which will make the process a little less arduous.

It is rare that you find an Apple product associated with any kind of discount or offer. However, Currys appears to be doing just that with the offer of a free iTunes gift card and charger with the 8GB iPod touch.

Currys are suggesting that the free charger and ?15 iTunes gift card total a saving of ?40.99, which, if we are to believe, means in effect you'll be getting an iPod 8GB for just ?108 and a penny - well, we can sort of see that that's the case.

The iPod itself gets a 3.5-inch multi-touch widescreen, will store up to 1750 songs or 10 hours of video, whilst battery life will come in at around 36 hours of music or 6 hours of video. Wi-Fi is, of course, also included.

The offer, however, is only available in-store, but you can use the reserve and collect option when ordering on the Currys website.

Satnavs are undeniably useful but can also be a bit on the expensive side, so today we thought we'd point you in the direction of the F&H version 3 satnav, available from Ebuyer for ?52.99.

There have also been some very positive user reviews citing the option of installing TomTom 7 on the device, which apparently "works brilliantly". Take a look for yourself at Ebuyer and we'll have another tech deal for you tomorrow.

The blurb on the Amazon website describes the Asus Eee PC S101 as an "exquisitely designed netbook for fashion forward individuals who view style as much of a factor of success as substance".

However, if you are not one of those "fashion forward individuals" then it may interest you instead that they are selling the previously-priced ?479 netbook for a rather more palatable ?279.99.

This "ultra-portable" netbook gets a 10-inch screen with an Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM and 16GB hard drive. Battery life seems decent, giving you over 5 hours of use between refills, whilst the 4-in-1 card reader will help make sure all your data is backed up.

Connectivity is catered for with Bluetooth, 802.11 a/g/n along with three USB 2.0 ports, and a headphone port while you'll be using Windows XP Home Edition as your OS.

Amazon is also offering free delivery and we'll have another tech deal for you tomorrow.

In light of the Tesco chief executive Sir Terry Leahy saying that the worst of the recession is over for the UK economy - reporting a 1% rise in pre-tax profit for the company in the first half of the financial year - our tech deal today points you in the direction of some discounts on selected laptops from the retail behemoth.

Although the majority of the laptops seem to be coming from Acer, the pick being the Acer T4200 with 4GB RAM, 420GB hard drive for ?429, there's also a decent discount on the HP Compaq CQ61 for ?359 coming with 2GB RAM, 320GB hard drive and a 15.6-inch screen.

With a choice of just ten laptops it's not the greatest selection but still worth a quick rummage if you're in the market as all of them come with free delivery.

Last week's launch of the PSP Go was met with a fair bit of excitement, adding to that is the fact that certain retailers are reducing their prices already, one of which, Play.com, is selling the console for ?199.99 as opposed to its RRP of ?224.99.

The console weighs in at 160g and is just 66mm thick so lives up to its portable ambitions, however the controls and perhaps the screen, at 3.8 inches, might be a bit fiddly for some. There is no UMD drive, the Go having 16GB of internal memory instead, which can be increased to 32GB with the aid of a memory stick.

It has 802.11b Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and has video-out, in case you want to load videos up to your TV screen. Make sure you take a look at the full hands-on photo gallery (link below) before checking out the deal.

Launched back in August, the Vaio W series mini notebook has seen a drop in price from its RRP of ?499 down to ?339.99 at Play.com - although we previously had its entry price at around the ?400 mark.

Sony clearly has the female of the species in mind with this effort, when it states: "carefully designed isolation keyboard with precise key spacing prevents typing errors, even with long fingernails", so anyone used to a Mac or ZX spectrum should be fine.

There are no surprises with the specs, coming with Intel Atom N280 processor, 160GB hard drive and 1GB RAM. It also gets a 10.1-inch, 16:9 widescreen with a 1366 x 768 resolution display and there's also a webcam and mic, b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

If you're in two minds then you could do a lot worse than clicking through on the link below to take a look at our hands-on photos, before following the one to the Play.com website.

Microsoft might not have the cool factor that Apple has, but today they are every student's best buddy.

The reason for this is that Microsoft is selling its soon-to-be-released (22 October) Windows 7 OS on pre-order for just ?30 to all students sporting an academic email address. Be warned though, the deal is only available until 3 January 2010.

Microsoft says: "Students will benefit from many of Windows 7's unique functions and applications which make PCs easier, simpler and more fun to use. For those students who have the latest laptops with touch screen technology, Windows 7 comes with enhanced capabilities for an enriched touch experience".

"Other features include remote media streaming, improved gaming experience, enhanced security and integration of Windows Media Centre for more central and convenient management of music, movies and photos".
