Credit crunch got your wallet in a twist? Well hold tight because we’ve rounded up trio of awesome high-tech bargains fit for the faint of wallet, and all under £50.

We’re talking a full 1080p HD upscaling Sony DVD player, cut-price Kodak digital cameras and the latest Xbox game at a knock-down price.

There’s also news of a brand new online shopping centre, with exclusive savings and prices not found anywhere else. Read on for more money saving madness!

Call of Duty: World at War (£24.99 from Carphone Warehouse)
The next game in the Call of Duty franchise, World at War has been out just over a week, and already it’s been discounted by the Carphone Warehouse. It looks set to match the success of its predecessor with some top grade military gameplay and epic storytelling to boot.

It features all the challenging gameplay and realism Call of Duty fans expect, with terrific online multiplayer and split screen modes for chum-based warfare. It’s currently lodged in our Xbox, and we love it to smithereens. And for under £25, it’s one hell of a bargain, although you’ll need to hot foot it down to the high street, or pick up the phone, as it’s not available online.

Got no console to play it on? Grab a Sony Ericsson T303 from Carphone Warehouse for £35 a month and you’ll bag yourself a free PlayStation 3 too. If you fancy the Wii version, you can get Nintendo’s console free for £30 a month with a Nokia 6300.

Out now | £24.99 | via Carphone Warhouse

Kodak C913 9MP Digital Camera (£49.99 from Argos)
Hey big spender, tighten up those purse strings with this penny pinching shooter from Kodak. For under £50 it crams in some top photo tech to leave your bank balance looking as pretty as a… (no we’re not saying it).

The C913 squeezes in 9.2-megapixels along with a 3x optical zoom and wobble eliminating image stabilization tech. It’s got a 16Mb internal memory, but because it’s SD and SDHD card compatible that can easily be bumped up. And it’s splash proof too, making it the perfect stocking filler for the camera clumsy.
