Mattel is launching a cute Xbox 360 block building kit — but its price tag is more than double what you'd spend on an actual Xbox 360.
The 1342-piece set is part of the Mega range (think Mega Blocks, or fake Lego), and lets you build a classic white Xbox 360 and controller at 3:4 scale.
It looks good — but the price is off-putting. The official RRP is £177.99, although we've spotted it being sold online elsewhere for slightly less (Smyths Toys has it for £150).

Microsoft no longer sells its old console new, of course, but over at CEX you can pick up the same model as the Mega kit for around £55.
If you're still keen, the Mega Microsoft Xbox 360 Video Game Console Building Set goes on sale here in the UK on 15th April, after previously having been sold in the US.

The game is confirmed to be available on the service via Xbox and PC Game Pass starting April 25.

Last year’s hit Star Wars Jedi: Survivor could be coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate through EA Play, and might even be already available in certain regions.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor continued his story with an assortment of new lightsaber styles and planets to explore, earning mainly positive reviews on consoles and a more mixed reception on PC due to technical issues.

Just because a movie is iconic and beloved doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be remade, particularly if it was itself based on another work in the first place. That’s as true of the 1999 thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley as it would be of anything else. Anthony Minghella took sweeping liberties in his adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 crime novel — itself a genre-defining classic — about a young conman who first infiltrates and then cannibalizes the life of a rich American playboy whiling away a carefree existence on the Italian coast. There’s room for another take to access different parts of Highsmith’s book than Minghella did, especially in the more expansive medium of an eight-part miniseries.
