Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player

With a mind-blowing feature set and superlative performance, the Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player could very well be the last disc spinner you'll ever need.
Canon IXUS 200 IS

Pairing a pretty touchscreen interface with a competent camera is always a good move, but we're a bit stuck as to what the 200 IS actually is: a touchscreen or a conventional compact.
Pioneer HTZLX61

Pioneer's cute HTZLX61 home theatre system lacks Blu-ray playback, but if you prefer to play DVDs and CDs through your system, then it's well worth considering.
Pioneer PDP-LX509A

The Pioneer PDP-LX509A is the last generation of the company's Kuro panels and features a 1080p resolution and five times the contrast of the previous models.
Panasonic SA-BX500

The Panasonic SA-BX500 sounds OK but is too hard to recommend because of too many limitations for its asking price. The wireless surround pack works well, but just adds expense to an under-featured receiver.
Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V

With its new back-illuminated CMOS sensor, GPS receiver and active image stabilisation, this new Handycam looks set to usurp the camcorder throne. We can't wait until we're able to do a full review.
Ford Fiesta LX 5-door manual (2009, WS)

Upgrading to the LX nets you a six speaker audio system with an auxiliary jack for MP3 player connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free with voice control, alloy wheels and cruise control.
Ford Fiesta LX 5-door automatic (2009, WS)

Jump up to LX spec and you'll get power rear windows, Bluetooth hands-free with voice control and alloy wheels. You'll still get a smaller 1.4-litre engine with the auto though.
