Four more days until the Transformers film launches in the UK! Four more days until we can feast our (sadly) mortal eyes on what is definitely the movie of the year! Well, apart from The Simpsons movie, of course. Gaaahhh I can hardly wait!

Pledge your alliance to either the Autobots or Decepticons with these animated t-shirts ($34.99) from the nerd equivalent of Ralph Lauren, Think Geek. Each t-shirt lights up…

Let’s face it, who among us is ever going to turn down a free gift – especially when it’s worth up to £500. Well, that’s the prospect facing techno shoppers at Carphone Warehouse, Currys and PC World this week.

You couldn’t have failed to see the ads in the newspapers over the weekend proclaiming the gratis machines in return for signing up to broadband with the likes of Orange and AOL. ‘So where’s the catch?’ I hear you ask. ‘There’s always a catch!’

Inspired no doubt by the shouty ‘NOW’ watch released the other day, she’s put together the top five most unreadable watches stupidity can buy you. Better keep a hold of your mobile phone just in case, natch…

Ohmygoodness, this day just gets better and better for fanboys alike. Flooky over on Destructoid has hand-crafted herself her dream guitar. A Dreamcast guitar, at that. It may only have three strings as the others broke, but you still need to give her credit where credit’s due. Now, let’s see her attempt Ferrari F355’s theme tune, then…

Wonder if some clever bod can do a mash-up of this Dreamcast guitar and the Guitar Heronoid? Go forth, modders!…
