Sales of digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras are up 25% this year but the market could be approaching saturation. Here are seven ways to get the best deal on a DSLR plus a checklist to see if you should upgrade your current DSLR.

By "he" I meant no less than span style="font-style: italic;"Prince of Persia /spanproducer Ben Mattes from a href="http://ps3.qj.net/tags/ubisoft/178" id="tag" title="makers of GT4"Ubisoft/a. Mattes checks in on some of the most frequently asked fan questions, gives them his answers, and posted them on the PlayStation Blog. Now how about that? Squeenix could take a leaf out of his book. brbrSome of the questions have already been answered on previous announcements and interviews, so let's look at what we don't already know.brbrFor one, it's going to be better-balanced than its predecessors - no draggy fight-less story parts, nor will there be fight-saturation to the point of battle boredom. In addition, the new fighting system will allow newbie gamers to fight well, but give advanced gamers access to wicked combos.brbrAs for lifespan, rushing through the game would take about 12-15 hours. But if you go out of your way collecting trophies and finding out more about the game's story, Mattes reckons you'll take about 18-20. Not bad.brbrIf you're wondering about the relevance to other span style="font-style: italic;"Prince of Persia/span titles, it won't have anything that'll affect the main story. But hardcore fans will get to appreciate a few tidbits that'll remind them of the past titles.brbrBen Mattes did take on a handful, and you can catch that and the rest of his answers for span style="font-style: italic;"Prince of Persia /spanon the PlayStation Blog.

But a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/12/03/apples_unexpected_ipod_shortage_spreading.html"analyst Shaw Wu says that iPod shortages/a are going all around, from the iTouch to the shuffle, and at multiple retailers./p pThe first sign of retail shortage started with the iPod touch at Amazon on Black Friday, where lead times expanded from 11 days to 3-5 weeks on both models. AI notes that the available models now come from affiliates and "are not a reflection of its own inventories." Wu's latest checks show that the nano and shuffle are getting scarce too, with shortages at retailers like Best Buy, Target and Walmart./p pWhy the crazy demand that's outstripping supply, especially since we're at kind a href="http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/dec2008/tc2008122_679456.htm?campaign_id=rss_tech"of a saturation point/a? Well, because iPods are relatively cheap gifts (compared to like an Xbox 360 or PS3), and Wu says that there's a "strong consumer understanding of the value it provides." Or in English, there aren't many people who would be unhappy to get an iPod. But, you know, if you can't find an iPod, I'm guessing there won't be a shortage on Zunes.
