So The Beatles iTunes deal is done and the world has collectively sighed, shrugged and returned to their collections of Beatles tracks acquired through other means. But in celebration of Apple’s ultra-hype-a-thon, we’ve decided to have a competition. Post your best images celebrating The Beatles iTunes tie up to the Electricpig Facebook group and we’ll reward the best submissions with an Electricpig mug. If you can do us a Beatles-style song celebrating Electricpig, well, that would be even better.

If you’re buying someone a Nintendo Wii for Christmas, can we point you in the direction of Sainsbury’s? The supermarket has just announced a seriously tasty price slash of 25 percent, with the £159.99 Nintendo Wii now selling from tomorrow to 2 December at £119.99, with the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL handhelds getting a quarter lopped off their respective pricetags too.

There don’t seem to be any catches with this Nintendo Wii deal either: there’s no need to buy X amount of shopping at the same time, or trade anything in. Just one per customer. It’s a shame Sainos isn’t selling the limited edition red Nintendo Wii, but for £40 off, who cares about the colour, right? PS Definitely get the black one.

Assassin’s Creed 4 is coming next year. We had heard there would be a break after Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (out on Friday) and Assassin’s Creed 2 which only came out last year but it seems Ubisoft has changed its mind. CEO Yves Guillemot told investors yesterday: “There will be something around Assassin’s [next year].” So not details but we’re told that we’ll hear about Assassin’s Creed 4 in January. Hit the headlines and head for the comments to tell us where you want Assassin’s Creed 4 to go. We’d love to see a more modern take on the assassins.

Angry Birds has got plenty of attention and is safely ensconced at number 1 in our best iPhone games chart but over on the iTunes App Store something worrying is going down. The Angry Birds are being bested by…Smurfs. App-watcher supreme, Stuart Dredge over at Mobile-Ent.biz notes that Angry Birds is getting its ass whooped by Smurfs’ Village in both the US and UK App Stores and that’s down to in-app purchases of “smurfberries” in the blue irritants’ game. Angry Birds gets cash from its download price but those damn Smurfs rake it in more consistently. It truly is a blue day in hell my friends, the Angry Birds should have focused less on those pesky pigs and more on the blue menace!
