Customer Review: hours of enjoyment


I liked playing this game and still am. I am trying to beat it 100% and it does get harder, plus it has unlockable videos that you can watch and enjoy if you get a little stressed out. I enjoyed this game and still am. I give it 2 broken thumbs up!!

Funny video game, many unlockables and many nice things to do along the whole game.

Customer Review: N64-It's a great thing


The N64=the best videogame system on the market at the price! Its controller is awesome! The games......The best ones in the world!The system is so lightweight and so...friendly. This system is a very "fun" system.The only problem I have with it is that for many games you have to stock up on memory paks.

I still give it a 5/5, though. Actually, i give it a 1000000000000000000000000000000000/5



Customer Review: It is Not cool to brag about having a N64 now, Who Cares??


I'm 13 (almost 14, little ways to go) and am i boy, Kids at school told me that it isnt cool to have a N64 anymore, cuz they are out-dated and "old" Well I dont care, in the first place I did not buy one to be "cool" I am not going to buy every systen the company's come out with just so I can say i'm "cool" I did buy a GameCube, which I also love (only have 3 games) but I bought it to put my little TV in my bedroom (BUT my N64 gets the big TV in my living room) Anyway, I would have loved to have a Classic Black N64 system with a Grey controller, but couldnt find one, so the color smoke was the closest, and thats a great color.

The N64 is a Great, Classic system that was released in early years for video games, Nintendo has always basically been the #1 video game system in the world, All other names like Playstation and Sega can not compete. The N64's rival for a long time was PS1, Nintendo won. Although PS1 was very popular, but N64 was more popular. But that is not the only reason, Almost all PS1 games were rated T or M, not much for kids, N64 DID NOT. Which made it more popular with kids and early teens. OK, I'm done comparing Nintendo with its compition and am going to talk about the classic N64, which i call it a classic, Because it is.

The N64 is GREAT for many reasons, the system looks real cool, it has a variety of fun and interactive addicting games. Not so bloody and gorey like other video game systems. I got my N64 oh quite a few years ago, I used to always rent a machine from my local video store, I loved it An old friend of mine used to come over with his N64. Not going into all the details, he couldnt come over anymore, and my mom told me she'd get me a N64. Man am i glad she did, I always wanted an N64 since i was a little tyke, but when I got mine, it was going "out of date". I could care less, wanted one, got one. It has GREAT games like...
Paper Mario-Oh, man u need to have this one, fav vid game of all time, completed it, still play it over and over agian.
Wheel of Fortune- if you like gameshows this is a great sim
Rayman 2: The Great Escape- Another great fun game.
Scooby-Doo: kinda childish, but i like it.
Super Mario 64- great real fun and interactive, love Mario games
Tony Hawk Pro Skater- Not into sports, played with a friend who gave it to me, im very good at the game now.
NBA Hangtime- Street ball, but fun to push players down
NBA Jam 2000- Great basketball sim, I dont like sports in real life, but they are kinda fun on video games
NASCAR-Real fun, like NASCAR
Gran Prix- A real fun racing game
Mario Tennis- *whew* very fun and addictive, interactive love it!

Thats the games I have there are so many great games for the N64!
And the great thing is is that they are cartridges, unlike the PS2 and other game systems that are disks, N64 wont scratch!! Great, especially for kids who just grab any old place. The graphics are great, but graphics dont make the game, storylines and addictiveness do. don't buy video game systems to be cool! I suggests to get the N64!!!!! No matter if it is your first system or a second one, You WON'T be disappointed!! You cant buy N64 games in very many stores, but you can on the internet for 3-6 bucks.
I love Nintendo!!!!!!!!! I love the N64!!!!!!! I'll have it probably 30-40 years to come, play it and say, "Those were the days"
N64 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Nintendo Wii Component Cable AV Cable for HDTV/EDTV High Definition 480p



The Wii Component Video Cable allows you to hook your Wii console system to a high-definition TV (HDTV) or enhanced-definition TV (EDTV) to view 480p progressive output. 480p progressive output displays at a higher resolution than standard 480i resolution. This component cable is specifically designed to provide the sharpest video and sound for your Nintendo Wii gaming system. Ultra thick and flexible PVC jacket with color coded connectors help to simplify installation.

Customer Review: Fixed my HDTV Lag!

My HDTV had lag when using the normal Wii composite cable, so I bought this cable. The lag is almost completely gone now. The image quality is perfect, so rest assured that these are quality cables.

Customer Review: Works Great, but Little Reach

This product works just great and it came faster than expected. But, as someone noted eairlier, the cables don't strech very far, and it is impossible for me to reach my TV and surround receiver at the same time. If you are looking for great picture and are not too worried about surround sound, then this is the perfect thing.

Video Game Storage X-Post in Titanium

Video Game Storage X-Post in Titanium

Video Game Storage X-Post in Titanium



The beauty of Pipex is its simple, modular design. The system is built through the connection of three different types of pipes: T-joints, 90-degree elbow pieces, and 18-inch straight pipes. The system also has circular pieces that can be used as tops for storing electronics or accessories or as a base for the system.

If you've ever used LEGOs or any other building-block toys, you'll surely be able to construct a Pipex storage system to fit your needs. And because it's modular, you'll be able to expand your system as your media collection grows by simply adding new pieces. The pipes have a modernist metallic finish, and each is slotted to accommodate CD-case media (PlayStation and Dreamcast games) and DVD-case media (PS2, Xbox, and GameCube games), so you can store music, movies, and most video games in any arrangement.

With this X-Post, you can hold 28 CD cases or 12 DVD cases. The T + 18 set holds 60 CD cases or 30 DVD cases--or even a combination like 30 CD cases and 15 DVD cases. The 90 + 18 set holds 47 CD cases or 28 DVD cases.

Combining them, of course, is how you build the system that's right for you. For example, by connecting one X-Post to the T-joints of two T + 18 sets, you could build a media storage goalpost-shaped system that would hold 148 CD cases, 72 DVD cases, or a combination in between.

Customer Review: probalbly

this thing would probably be good is u were and only child but if u had bros or sisters they would easily tip it over so put it next to a crorner and u would have to have a small room bacause if u have a big room u should get a big shelf remember small is for small.

Customer Review: Look's stupid

This must be the must stupid piece of junk i ever saw. NOT MUCH STORAGE and don't put your system on it. It can be easy to push over "no grip". If I were you I would save my money!!

Dance Dance Revolution Flash Pad

Dance Dance Revolution Flash Pad

Dance Dance Revolution Flash Pad



Dance Pad Revolution is a dance game controller for PlayStation 2. Features of the Naki Dance Pad includes, a thick comfortable mat with stylish graphics, large and accurate buttons, tested layout featuring color coded buttons and clearly defined button separations, all buttons are represented, including select and start.

Customer Review: A fine dance pad!


Sure, it isn't the most durable or slip proof dance pad, but it's definitely great for beginners and low-impact use. I just got into Stepmania so I'm not exactly "1337" at dance pads, so it was perfect for me. It slips a bit when you start moving fast which can get annoying, but the game's fun, so you'll get over it. Overall, for the price, (6$) I think it was a great buy.

Customer Review: Not half bad

These things aren't half bad. They work better than the ones with the foam in them. However, mine seem to break very easily. I myself take very good care of the mat, it's my sister and her friends, on the other hand, that tend to break them.
I would get it for kids, but for teens and adults, try to find something else.

Halo 2, Vol. 1

Halo 2, Vol. 1

Halo 2, Vol. 1



Further proof that the 15-year-old male is the nexus of contemporary popular entertainment, this anthology of music from and "inspired by" the sequel to the earth-conquering Halo saga also showcases how capably the video game industry can trump even Hollywood's vaunted production values. The original synth-heavy underscore by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori is filled with enough brooding, mock-Goth atmospherics, and pulsing exotica of indeterminate ethnicity to give the Hans Zimmer stable a run for their money, while a slate of (mostly) worthy rock star guest turns give it a welcome edge. Legendary axe-slinger Steve Vai's sinewy riffing punches up the reworked main theme and "Never Surrender," while alt.metal contenders Breaking Benjamin serve up the suitably dramatic inspired-by cut "Blow Me Away." But it's Incubus' four-part "Odyssey" suite that's the centerpiece, bridging 1970s prog and modern rock with its moody aura and evocative musical dramatics. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Review: Halo in a different light...

I recently bought this CD and listen to it with my Halo obsessed boys. Upon the beginning of each song, I'm given a lesson -from my boys- about where the song is in the video game and what is happening at the time- Master Chief's continuing struggle to save the world. Listening to the songs apart from the video game has given me a whole new listening experience...one that I very much enjoy. I feel the struggle and determination. Wonderful!

Customer Review: Halo 2 Delivers!

Halo 2 sounds a lot different from the first one, but still keeps some of its signature tunes. The "Halo" song from the first game gets a makeover with rock. Also included are recorded songs from Breaking Benjamin "Blow me Away" which is good but I wish it was the instrumental from the game. Incubus brings all 4 "Movement of the Odyssey" with the best one (in my opinion) being the first one "Follow." Hoobastank's "Connected" was good in the game but it's not my favorite from the album.

Great music overall! "Ghosts Of Reach" begins beautifully and gets into the drums towards the end, "Heretic, Hero" "Flawed Legacy" and "Remembrance" have some of the original sounds from the previous album all which have been remade and they're quite good ("Remembrance" is "The Maw" with more female dominant vocals). "Never Surrender" is your fix of dance, a remix of the Halo them with "never surrender" and Cortana's voice used throughout. There is also the beautiful "Heavy Price Paid" which is used during the game's loading sequence, the battle-ready "Earth City" Flood-ridden-creepy "Ancient Machine" dreamy-like "Orbit of Glass" simply amazing "The Last Spartan" a fix of classical of rock and the most beautiful song "High Charity" is completely atmosphereic. Truly, it sounds like a dream!

Best: Halo, Blow me Away, Ghost of Reach, all 4 Odysseys, Heretic, Hero, The Last Spartan, Heavy Price Paid, Orbit Of Glass, Earth City, High Charity, and Remembrance.

Another Halo soundtrack that doesn't disappoint! If you liked the first one or you enjoy movie/video game soundtracks, get this!

One quick note, not all the music from Halo 2 is on this CD. If you want more of the score or to complete the collection, "Halo 2 Volume 2" has what you're looking for.

The "Mad Mind" has spoken.

Customer Review: razor replacement

Logitech's Gaming Optical Mouse is what I chose to replace my worn down optical razor mouse from two years ago. It doesn't have as many side buttons as the razor did, but it was very rare for me to use all the buttons. Leaning around corners with this mouse is taking a bit to get used to doing. For the slightly discounted price I got this mouse for I am very pleased with how it does in 1st person shooters.

Customer Review: Great gaming mouse

Very pleased with this product. Easy to use, plug & play setup. Kind of big for my hand but oh well. I use it to play World of Warcraft & I haven't had any problems with it at all. The side thumb buttons are very convenient to keybind.

Now you can easily discover on which server your friends are playing Battlefield 2142, be notified when your World of Warcraft battleground becomes available and know exactly who's talking in Ventrilo with the Logitech G15 keyboard's exclusive GamePanel LCD. You can also create useful macros on the fly that play back with a single press of one of the six G keys. As every key features illuminated characters, with three levels of brightness, you can keep playing late into the night.

Customer Review: FAIL!


Keyboard was ok for about a year, but then 2 of the keys stopped working, TAB and G11 don't work anymore. Pwnd a lot of n00bs with it, but this board is worthless now. Most keyboards last 3 to 5 years easy, and since this keyboard is "teh gey" after one year I just can't recommend buying it.

I will say my Logitech G5 laser mouse still pwns, but just can't recommend the keyboard. Get a different brand. Peace, and keep gaming!


Customer Review: Very Good For Gaming !


Hey if you are a true gamer then this is the keyboard for you my friend.I dominate at the Lan Party each sunday ! Also i can now play at night easy with this , and the LCD is very cool when playing games that are compatible with it because it gives you live stats. make sure you buy this with the Logitech G5 gaming mouse they make a great team .

Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection

Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection

Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection



Pinball Hall of Fame includes 10 classic Williams' pinball tables from the '70s, '80s and '90s! Features unlockable bonus extra game features that the player can earn throughout the game, editable table controls such as Tilt, custom pinballs, more balls per play, table art gallery, 4-player multiplayer mode and much more!

Customer Review: ABSOLUTELY amazing !!! You get more than what you pay for !!!


Being a 1980-1990's pinball aficionado, I've played them all in the arcades. Quarter after quarter, replay after replay... I pride myself having spent many hours on pinball for mere dollars. I've spent a good deal of my college years making my entertainment value stretch.

However, the main thing lacking in home-versions of pinball games (either on computer platform or gaming consoles) is the "pinball wizard" feeling from merely pushing buttons and watching the balls bounce in uncontrollable patterns.

"Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection" is hands-down an exception to the disappointment I'm used to. Far superior to any pinball simulator I've EVER played, this adaptation is so close to the real thing, it's incredible. The biggest drawback from many home-version pinball games is the upright "flippers-at-your-hands" feeling. Astoundingly, with Pinball HOF, I get the feeling that I'm at a real arcade as I "bump" the machines using my Wii remotes.

Equally unbelievable and impressive are the accurate depictions of the graphics and sounds from EACH machine. SVG Distribution did such a fantastic job recreating the Wii version that it's hard to differentiate the software from the original machine. The older machines (i.e. Jive Time) have that classic relaxed pinball-saloon feel to them; however, the newer machines (i.e. Funhouse, Whirlwind, Taxi) give you the sensation of nudging the ball with your body movements. I don't know if what I'm trying to say is clear, but to pinball enthusiasts, you'll know what I mean by moving the ball "not with the flippers, but your body."

If SVG were to release another Pinball Hall of Fame (Gottlieb? Stern?), I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, pinball is undergoing a demise in popularity these days. I don't know why. A pinball wizard could be easily entertained for long periods of time dropping only a few coins. Hmmm... must be today's economy that's driving pinball production down.

Anyway, I can't say enough good things about this game. It has been keeping me entertained to the point that I haven't even played Super Mario Kart yet, a game that I bought the same day as Pinball HOF. That's my $.02... which will only buy .08 gallons of gas.


Customer Review: Perfect for gift giving


I got this for my guy but now I'm playing it all the time. OMG, its just like the real thing but better! This is a must for all game lovers. So much better than I thought it was going to be.

Civilization IV: Beyond The Sword will deliver new themes never seen in Civilization, many recommended by the fans. The expansion will focus on the late-game time periods after the invention of gunpowder and will deliver 12 challenging and decidedly different scenarios, ten new civilizations, 16 new leaders, five new wonders, and a variety of new units. Five new wonders - The Statue of Zeus, Cristo Redentor, Shwedagon Paya, the Mausoleum of Maussollos, and the Moai Statues Earn a diplomatic victory and unlock the United Nations - then create new resolutions to expand your diplomatic options Advanced Starts let players buy an empire's components & begin play in a later part of the game -- experience new features of the expansion in a shorter time Enhanced AI is tougher to beat on the higher levels, and expanded its strategies for achieving victory

Customer Review: As Close to Perfect as a Game Can Get

A great game gets even better. Add to it the fact that you can mod-out features many features you don't like with very basic knowledge of XML, and that the developers actually provide C++ source code for the game so that professional programmers can rewrite the game themselves, and you have a recipe for the best. Even my non-gamer friends have fallen in love with it, especially girlfriend types once they realize you can play cooperative team games on a LAN.

One word of warning: this game is hard at first, especially if you have never played anything similar. It does get easier, though.

Customer Review: A major update, could be called Civ 4.5

This is not a mere expansion pack but a major update to a fun but flawed game. It is simply much more polished and better thought out than the original. It also comes with tons of great mods. Overall the value is excellent. My only complaint is that the difficulty level seems to have gone up a notch as well, but maybe I am just not very good at this game.

The Mouse and the Motorcycle

The Mouse and the Motorcycle

The Mouse and the Motorcycle




Bored, bored, bored. That's how young Keith feels about being stranded at the time-worn Mountain View Inn with his parents. Then he meets Ralph, an equally stir-crazy mouse who quickly befriends Keith and begs to ride Keith's toy motorcycle. Soon Ralph masters the tiny two-wheeler and "rrroom-zzzooms" through the hotel hallways, dodging four-legged predators, adults, and the occasional vacuum; he even risks his furry skin to help Keith recover from a high fever. Based on Beverly Cleary's famous children's novel of the same name, this 42-minute video combines live-action talent (including Ray Walston as the wise bellhop) and award-winning stop-motion animation. While the dated look of the TV movie may not appeal to kids who prefer the heart-pumping action of computer-generated favorites such as Small Soldiers, its tame plot and relatively slow pace make The Mouse and the Motorcycle a healthy choice for families with 3- to 7-year-olds. Followed by an even popular sequel, Runaway Ralph. --Liane Thomas

Customer Review: Fantastic for kids -- and probably adults too!

I watched this movie many times as a kid (for some reason, it was on early Saturday mornings a bunch of times), and I *loved* it. I just remembered it now for some reason, and had to look it up! It's a classic, and I highly recommend it.

Customer Review: Mouse and the Motorcycle

I saw this movie as a child in the ABC Specials too... now my 7 year old just finished reading the book and when I told him I saw the movie he couldn't wait to see it too! We looked all over for the DVD since I do not own a VCR but we can not find it on DVD anywhere, he was disappointed but i don't want to buy a VCR just for this one movie! If anyone knows if there is a DVD version out there let us know!!!! Please.

Customer Review: Fun game full of imagination

My kids LOVE this game! It is full of funny little things to do, like shooting toilet plungers, throwing cows and that kind of stuff - who comes up with this stuff (very funny). It is a game that is for any age, the younger ones get a kick out of seeing what they have to do and the older ones have a challenge trying to get through everything. I wasn't sure what I would think of this game but my girls (8 and 14) really enjoy it..

Customer Review: I can't believe how much fun this game is!!!

when the wii first came out, it was awesome, playing wii sports was very fun but, well after a while it gets burried, but then came rayman raving rabbids, it is I think the reason the wii exists, it is crazy as you couldn't imagine, the games make no sense at all!!! it has no logic, what they ask you to do in the minigames is totally "out of order" I mean, "rabbids can't close the bathroom doors" you have to close the doors for them, and the doors just won't stop opening!

I tell you this game is crazy, from beginning to end, you won't regret it

SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition turns you into a citizen, a criminal, an architect, a mayor, even a god -- bringing you deeper into SimLife than ever! As you create railways, ferries, plan out streets, you also get to use that transportation in a series of great new driving missions

Customer Review: Sim City has come a LOOOONG way!

My first SimCity came free with a computer I had purchased in the 90's. It was fun... but WOW! The graphics on this and the options are amazing. My 10 year old loves this game. Some days he builds cities, others he builds islands with volcano's and releases God's fury on them... lightning, eruptions, meteors, robots, dinosaurs... lots of fun!

Customer Review: Simulation for hours and hours

This game has lots of options in order to build a city. It isn't easy though to make it grow as you must keep an eye to the funds available.

It is nice to connect different cities and create a metropolitan area. This takes out the restriction for building large cities.

The rush hour expansion lets you to explore the city at a ground level. This makes perfect sense as it emphasizes on how the transportation system you build for the city affects the traffic and therefore the well-being of the citizens.

This game provides fun for hours and hours as you learn how to balance the sims' satisfaction and the budget.

On the system requirements, it is good to know that the game doesn't demand high specs.

Customer Review: Multiple Installs and Gameplay Issues

Spore is an innovative game from the creator of the Sims, which lets you take a creature right from the one-celled amoeba type stage all the way through space flight. It has great potential, but also can be very frustrating.

First, a word about the copy protection scheme. There have been literally thousands of anti-Spore reviews posted on a number of websites solely ranting about the copy protection scheme. Many good gaming companies have gone under because of piracy, so I certainly understand that software should never be stolen. Piracy damages a creator's ability to pay their rent. That being said, Spore went overboard. You can literally only install the game 3 times before having to talk to the Spore company to ask for permission to install it again. I get a new PC every year, and usually I install games on my PC and laptop to test on both platforms. This would mean after a year I would be stuck.

It gets better than that, though. When installing Spore on my laptop, my built in anti-virus software saw Spore's attempt to install its copy protection software, thought it was a virus and silently blocked it. This meant Spore finished installing and didn't work. I hunted around but finally just de-installed it and reinstalled it. This meant I already "lost one install" because of that. Even so, the anti-virus software kicked in again and I had to manually go in and fix some links and add some files before it would run properly. I can't imagine most average gamers doing this just to get their game to run.

So finally I had Spore installed. Now to start playing! In cell mode I wanted to be an herbivore. Big mistake. While there are lots of enemies around to eat if you're a carnivore, and an omnivore can eat anything, a poor herbivore can only eat plants. Once those plants are gone, you're pretty much doomed. Everything wants to eat you. I found out quickly through trial and error that an omnivore was your best bet. A few "upgrades" later, and I was moving on to creature mode.

In creature mode you take your same basic cell shape and move up onto land. Again, it became apparent through several replayings that plant eaters had a rough life. You want to be an omnivore so you can eat your enemies when you find them - and also fall back on plants if you're surrounded by things too tough to attack.

On you go through the higher levels, and the game morphs along to let you build tribes, gather food, get space flight. At each level you switch to a new set of skills and have to learn new gameplay.

I really love the idea - but I wish the game carried more over from level to level. When you go from cell to creature level, you are left with a bunch of "useless body parts". You need to in essence completely redesign your creature for the new challenges.

Also I wish the game did not seem to heavily biased towards omnivore. Maybe they are trying to teach us a lesson here :) It is only through an equal balance of aggression and pacifism that you can survive.

I definitely find this game to be a time sink, and can lose myself in it for hours. However, compared with other games I play, the time does not pass in a "stress release" fashion. For example if I play Halo or Age of Empires or StarCraft or other games I get caught up in them, have a lot of fun and feel quite happy when I'm over. Most of the time when I'm playing Spore I'm feeling frustrated with the enemies, stressed about finding more food, and annoyed that my people are off migrating or being attacked by wild animals and needing help. It's a "demanding" game. I love challenges and tough opponents - but it shouldn't be stress inducing.

I'll give the game a 3/5. It is certainly fun in a way, and I give it a ton of credit for being innovative. However, the evolutions could have been handled far better, the balance on each particular level could have been much more even, and that copy protection scheme is just awful. I only have Spore installed on my laptop and this is the first time I've ever had to do that - do a single-system install because I am afraid of running out of reinstall options once I switch machines. I shouldn't be in that situation with a game I paid for.

Customer Review: The game plays fine, DRM does not break the gameplay

I'm not one to join in on an internet argument, but I felt that I had to speak up about this. The whole issue of DRM is an important one, but as long as it doesn't interfere with the game itself, I generally don't have a problem with it.

Not that long ago, there was anti-pirating software that actually made the games run slower, but now, EA has opted to go with limiting the amount of installs before you have to call them. I am not one of those that constantly breaks a computer down and reinstalls things every weekend. I plan on installing Spore maybe ONCE. So, I don't personally have an issue with the 3 install limit.
Some have said that the game crashed their system; I think that there's no PC game sold today that carry with it the possibility of crashing a PC, that's just a problem inherent with PC gaming. That being said, the Spore Creature Creator crashed my PC a few times, but with an update of the sound card, it was smooth sailing. I have yet to have a problem with the full Spore game. As long as your hardware drivers are up-to-date, then you should be fine.

The game itself is fun. Not the greatest game ever made, or even the greatest game Will Wright has ever made, but it's certainly not bad and worthy of a least a PC Game of the Year nomination. All of those nerds that give this game a 1 star based SOLELY ON DRM are stupid. I can understand knocking a point or so because of the DRM issue, but the GAME ITSELF IS FINE.

5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8



















The Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter allows you to connect your PlayStation 2 or Xbox video game console to a set of Logitech 5.1 multimedia speakers for awesome, multi-channel sound and intense realism.

Customer Review: Works well

Does just what it is supposed to do. Puts out stereo instead of 5.1 sound though.

Customer Review: A simple adapter that does its job

This is a very simple adapter that takes a pair of male left / right RCA cables and splits them into 3 center / sub, left/right, and rear left/rear right 1/8 outputs. The adapter does not require an external power supply.

The adapter does its job and seems well constructed. I haven't had any problems.

Please note that this includes an adapter only; no RCA or 1/8 cables are included.

Some Logitech speakers systems include this product so if you're ordering this with a speaker system, you should check to see if this purchase is necessary.

The purpose of this is to take something that's designed to talk to a stereo system via RCA and convert it into an input source for low end 5.1 PC speakers. For example, I have my Xbox 360 taking its RCA output, putting it through this device and outputting to a Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System.

The 5.1 is simulated with this system but it's better than not using your rear speakers at all. If this is a problem, you should probably be thinking about optical connections and a THX certified speaker system.

Microsoft SideWinder Gaming Mouse
















Elevate your skills with the revolutionary Microsoft SideWinder Mouse designed to provide you with unprecedented performance, handling, and adaptability. Customize your mouse with every game you play using advanced software and adjustable accessories. Use the first ever LCD display on a gaming mouse for macro recording and DPI settings to reduce on-screen interference during gameplay.

Customer Review: Great Mouse 4.5 out 5

Ive done a lot research and trial and error with other mice, and this is the one that fit my hand and budget. I was a little skeptical at first thinking that Microsoft made a peace of crap and slapped their name on it but the mouse really performs. Prior to this I was using the Razer Diamond Back, and the right click had died on that one so I purchased the Razer (Lechnis?) and found that it was just to small and the left side buttons were to awkward to push consistently, and the right side buttons were next to impossible to use.

When I first used the Sidewinder I was instantly at home with its Ergos, it fit very well in my hand (big mitts) and the side buttons were very accesable. Being built with stainless steel components I have doubts in its ability to take a punishment. The weight system is very nice as well allowing for lots of customization in weight distribution.

I didn't give it a perfect 5 because of the mouse feet. They have 3 different types of mouse feet that claim to have different menueverability along the mouse pad surface but they all seemed very much the same with a very plastic like feel. They also seemed to collect depris easily. However if you can keep them clean the feet aren't really a problem.

Customer Review: Sturdy, solid software, for big hands, a winner!

I have pretty big hands, and the Logitech mice have always been great for me in most respects, except that I *never* used the DPI switching on the fly. I would like to remap those keys to a 'cruise up' and 'cruise down', which worked really well.

The problem is, that occasionally the mouse would 'reset' itself to a lower DPI, and I'd be mid-game trying to get it back. I'd have to go map the key to "increase sensitivity", then go back into the game and play again. It was truly annoying, and it is the single reason I won't buy another Logitech mouse.

I saw Microsoft's Sidewinder mouse and I took a chance on it -- it looked reasonable, and being the owner of several Microsoft Keyboards over the years, I don't have any problem with their hardware quality. This mouse is no exception.

The plastic may seem flimsy, but feeling the scroll wheel tells you the internals of it are reasonably well made. It has solid mouse buttons and they are comfortable for a larger hand like mine (it's not a HUGE hand, but big). The macro keys are something I rarely use because if you play competitively, you have to take out the 'cheats' in games. But all in all, it's a really great mouse.

The SOFTWARE. It's great. The scroll wheel (if you use it in applications rather than games) can increase scrolling speed the faster you scroll with the software. It's quite brilliant. The detents in the scroll make it exceptionally good for gaming, as you know if you switch weapons easily -- you feel it in the wheel. My hand has never accidentally hit the DPI switch -- not once. And if your hand does, it's a quick switch back and you can view the LCD to tell you exactly what you're sitting at as well.

All in all, if you're tired of Logitech's poor software and key remapping, you have large hands, and you want a good gaming mouse -- this is the one for you. Again, I never switch DPI on ANY mouse I've ever owned (and I've owned a lot) so if you play like that... you'll find the Sidewinder a welcome choice.

By the way, the Sidewinder X5 is not worth it -- this mouse has more features and seems better to me, so save your $30 or whatever and buy this mouse. Amazon shipping and support never fails me.

Neo Geo CD System - Video Game Console

Neo Geo CD System - Video Game Console

Neo Geo CD System - Video Game Console



The Neo Geo CD was released in 1994, four years after its cartridge-based equivalent, in an effort to reduce manufacturing costs. The system was originally priced at US$300 new. The unit's 1X CD-ROM drive was quite slow, making loading times very long with the system loading up to 56 Mbit of data between loads. Neo Geo CD game prices were lowered to a reasonable $50 as opposed to the usual cost for AES game cartridges, sometimes upwards of $300. The system could be used to play Audio CDs.

The Neo Geo CD comes with a control pad instead of the joystick that is in other Neo Geo systems. This made the controls more stiff and caused some difficulty in play if one was used to the joystick.

Ultimately, the Neo Geo CD was considered poor, mainly because of the lack of marketing and the long load times.

Customer Review: The Neo Geo CD


Let me start my review by saying, the Neo Geo CD is the BEST VIDEO GAME CONSOLE EVER. It is 2-Player, and is fun to play with friends. The controllers are very comfortable in your hands. They use a Control Pad instead of a D-Pad or Joystick, making gameplay much better than other systems. It has a great library of games, such as Fatal Fury 3, Driver, King of Fighters 99, and Puzzle Bobble. It can display 4,096 colors at a time on the screen! They are only about $100 on eBay! You should get one, you won't regret it!

Customer Review: Umm.....this isn't hi-rez lol


The first review is from the company, same thing you'll read when buying one on ebay.

Its good for about 30$ but not any more than that. The image quality is pretty terrible, but again, for 30$ your not getting a lilliput TFT.

Flickering is very poor and noise from the inverter can be a problem. The ones made specifically for the game consoles by joytech and logitech are better but they aren't under 100$ either.

But saying this is a high resolution lcd is just laughable. Sound is good though!


Customer Review: V system


This is a great product. It is extremely versatile. Although, it does not include any game(ing) accessories of its own, it can be utilized by, just about, any VCR, DVD, PS2, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo, Super N2, Game Cube, XBox that has an RCA hook up. It has great portability, as well, being lightweight but sturdy. It is great for parents and children, alike, on the go. A child, sibling, and the parents can ride easier (and quieter) with a Game System in front of them, with the headset attachment utilized. I know.
