Online retailers continue to offer the best value when it comes to consumer electricals ? that?s according to the latest report from the online wing of consumer bible Which? Researchers from the magazine saved over £1000 buying a Christmas shopping basket of eight electrical items online rather than in high street stores.

The biggest saving ? 22 per cent, was on MP3 players. The 4GB Apple iPod Nano was £49 cheaper at getflashing.com than at the cheapest high street store, and while cheaper models tended to cost around £20 less online, savings increase significantly on pricier models.

Other good Internet buys include DVD recorders, photo printers and digital cameras ? a researcher saved £184 buying the Sony R1 camera online.

Malcom Coles, editor, which.co.uk says ?Shopping online, with no queues, no crowds and unlimited opening hours, is a gift for those of us who dread the high street. It?s often cheaper too; especially for MP3 players and digital cameras, which are both bound to be popular gifts this Christmas.?
