WITH more and more players viewing in-game footage on websites such as YouTube, the demand for uploading their own is stronger than ever. The Roxio GameCapture allows users to do just that. It connects either an Xbox 360 or PS3 to a PC
and can save gameplay footage from the console in real time. The accompanied software also allows users to add voice-over
commentary before saving the video to their PC and sharing it online. Players can use the GameCapture to post video
reviews online, run through their favourite in-game areas or simply use the device to brag about their latest achievements. The GameCapture is available to order now from Gem and comes with an SRP of £79.99.

What was your top seller last week? Has anything failed to meet expectations? Mortal Kombatsold really well, it’s a total old school beat ‘em up, and just goes to show if it isn’t broken don’t fix it. Operation Flashpointhasn’t sold as well as expected.
How well did the 3DS launch go for you? Did it live up to expectations?
The 3DS sold just as I expected – slowly. Christmas will be a different matter though.
What are you hoping to see at E3 this year? We’re all waiting to see what Nintendo is going to
pull out of the bag with the ‘Wii 2’, along with more from the Sony NGP.
What makes Console Yourself stand out from competition in the area? The Pontefract branch has been in business for eight years and counting. We probably carry more stock than rival game shops and sell new titles cheaper than other UK retailers. Oh, and our shop isn’t orange.
