(ContentDesk) December 1, 2005 -- The image most people have of computer game enthusiasts is of a teenager who spends all his time in his bedroom. This stereotype could soon be a thing of the past as a growing army of commuters are being spotted travelling and playing Sonys new handheld games PSP console.
The device not only allows you to play games on a widescreen 4.3 inch screen but also enjoy podcasts, videoblogs, music files, read ebooks and play videos. The pocketsize media players are the must have present for urban commuters this Christmas. There are often tedious delays in a commuters existence, so escape is sorely needed.
I love my Chillart film - its the perfect way for me to relax, said James Fox, Lawyer from London.This younger, affluent demographic of gamers have limited content available for their PSP-time, so we were delighted to work with Chris Parry from 24-7 DVD Ltd to create a moment of respite for these content-hungry commuters, said Natascha McQueen, Creator of ChillArt. Our market has grown over the last 6 months across the globe, with an increase of traffic and sales through our website of 70% which clearly demonstrates the appetite for this kind of entertainment.MultiMedia Consultant Chris Parry comments on the phenomenon of free downloadable video content for the PSP: "New PSP owners have been scrambling to get hold of free downloadable PSP content. You can get anything from Anime magazines to chill out music with images for commuters. The surprising thing is the lack of content targeted directly at the slightly older demographic who are also buying PSPs. This gap in the market is now being filled by more sophisticated content such as ChillArt which has been created for young professionals."ChillArt Ltd.

Insurance ? how much are your household contents worth
Household content insurance is something that most people take out after a very quick 'guestimation' of the value of their entire possessions, generally erring on the lower side in an effort to reduce premiums. According to a study by the Centre for Economic and Business Research, which is cited by Motley Fool, the typical household's contents are worth around ?44,500, but most people only have an insured sum of ?35,000. This is a difference of ?9,500 and represents a 21% under-valuation, and is therefore classified as being under-insured.
At first this does not seem to be much of a problem: unless everything you owned were to be lost in one go, leaving you out of pocket, it would be possible to still claim for up to ?35,000 if something less dramatic happened. On the face of it, this seems reasonable, but this is not how most insurers work. In order to prevent people underinsuring and then claiming for any items up to the ?35,000 value even...
Plasma TV The Price Goes Down
Plasma TV has become an important part of television technology. Over the past few years, there have been several major advances in the industry, including the plasma TV. As with any major technology advances, the plasma TV is quickly becoming more affordable - good news for the consumer.There are several reasons the price of the plasma TV is becoming more affordable. The first is the same reason that most technologies come down in price - the fact that the technology becomes more widely understood and available. As more manufacturers go into business to make the product, the competition naturally gets more intense and prices go down.
Remember that the manufacturers of those first units are trying to recoup the cost of research and development. That makes the product - in this case the plasma TV - more expensive for the consumer. After the technology is slightly older, the companies who manufacture are no longer trying to recover those costs so they can sell the products cheaper....
