It's been another hectic week at HEXUS. We're covering more news, reviews and features than ever before. Don't fret if you've missed out on some of the juiciest stories available, folks, because I'm here to fill you in.

 
 

Saving up the pennies for a graphics-card update? Why not take a look at the £150 XFX HD 6870 1GB DD XXX review or, if you're feeling flush, the £300 Sapphire HD 6970 2GB FleX BF3 review. We've got numbers for Battlefield 3 in both reviews, so click on the links to be whisked to the editorial.

 
 

Why have just a graphics card when a rootin'-tootin' gaming laptop can be had instead? £1,500 is an awful lot of money for a machine, but MSI's GT780DXR is some machine, we can assure you.

Get away from it all with the 'iPod-killer' that's SanDisk's Sansa Clip Zip. Our Parm is suitably impressed with it in his review.

 
 

 

But the weekend's coming up and you may start thinking about building a new PC - I know this is how I while away some of the hours, labouring through specs and going through builds. Speaking of which, have a look at the Corsair Carbide 500R for some chassis inspiration.

Going from talk of PCs to the PlayStation 3 for a moment, the must-have Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception has been given the once-over by Steven Williamson, while those with just a few minutes spare may like to delve into Worms Crazy Golf HD.

In other news, Thailand's floods are causing chaos for hard-drive manufacturers, HP is going to build servers with ARM chips, the Beeb may well introduce a fee for its uber-popular iPlayer service, and, for those with a technical persuasion, AMD's maligned Bulldozer chip should pick up the pace under Windows 8 - how's that for an eclectic bunch of stories?

And don't forget to have your say in our Question of the Week.

Enjoy the weekend and the inevitable fireworks displays this weekend, dear readers, and we'll see you back on Monday.
