Portable video's best mate

From PSPs to iPods to mobiles, a growing array of portable devices now play video. Except getting stuff to watch onto them is far harder than it should be. Enter the SanDisk V-Mate, essentially a memory-card reader with some video-digitising hardware built in. Feed it a TV/DVD signal and voila! The video is recorded straight onto the memory card.

In games, World Snooker Championship 2007 (X360, PSP) brings the excitement, er, thrill, um, well, sport to new platforms. And while it never looks great, the authenticity can't be doubted (even the commentary's boring). Rocky Balboa's appearance only on PSP doesn't bode well for a big movie licence but it's a decent stab at arcade-style boxing. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 (X360) asks you to pay €70 for creepy voyeurism masquerading as soft porn. There's plenty better of both on the net.
