Amazing
I frequently travel to Vermont from Connecticut.Once i got my Xbox i needed a way to bring it back and forth.I saw aluminum cases that were over pirced and cheap nylon backpacks.I saw this last year in fye.I think it was $40.00 then but well worth the money.First of all, it holds 2 controllers, some cables, and memory cards in the top pocket.Sometimes i can even jam in another controller or the Xbox communicator.Inside, its even better.There are slots to hold 16 games and pockets for their manuals or instructions.The Xbox is strapped down inside the case so it doesnt move around.This case protects your Xbox very well.Not only is it good for its price but it is the best case available.

Convenience Has Never Been So Sweet
G-Pak Xbox Organizer and Travel Case is is not only convenient, but compact.It's big enough to hold about two controllers and all connector cables.Not only that, but you can compact close to twenty games in the sleeve compartment.It's great for travel, being big enough to check.If you're protective over your Xbox as I am, it also doubles as a carry-on, fitting snugly in all under-seat storage areas.Upon arrival at your destination, you can easily set up your system without ever removing your Xbox.The back/bottom of the case opens for the sole purpose of cable connectivity.The only drawback to this accessory is its underabundance of storage capacity for vital accessories.Four controllers simply refuse to squeeze in there, let alone all necessary cables.If your an anti-social gamer, great.But for all you socials, you better bring a plastic bag for additional accessories.Overall, it's a best-buy.

An excellent way to transport your xbox
Since I have moved farther from home, I am unable to bring my desktop computer with me to play computer LAN games with my friends. Since my friends and I have an xboxes, I wanted a safe way of transporting it across the country. I also wanted a case that would care just about everything I needed to bring with me and be strong enough to protect my xbox. This product has solved those problems for me. The case overall is very light with room to store two controllers, all the cables, at least 16 games, 2 memory cards. The case is also very durable and will survive traveling by airplane (as a carry-on item). The light weight is a plus when walking around large airports versus the larger heavier metal cases. This case is also designed for you to play your xbox right from the case (meaning you don't have to remove it to use it). However, I would take it of the case if you are planning on playing it for more than 4 hours. The only cons to this case for me is that I wish it had some more room to store extra controllers (like 3 or 4) and possible a hub.

Otherwise this is an excellent product!!!!!

Very innovative and nearly perfect
I play a lot of Halo at friends' houses, and I found it a pain to remember all the hardware when I go, and I would be concerned about dropping my console on the way there!This product takes care of both problems!

The Pros are:

- dense padding protects Xbox from moderate shock
- plenty of room for two controllers and normal wires, including a 12' Ethernet cord.
- Streamlined (not like that other Xbox backpack, that begs your friends to make fun of you, heheh).
- [Editorial Review is true to form, everything mentioned is correct]

the CONS are:

- Not enough room for Ethernet Hub (could use about two more square-inches of accessory space).
- There are vents to help with cooling.However, I would be hard-pressed to actually keep my Xbox in the G-Pak all the time.I'm sure it's good for 1-2 hours of gameplay; I would not expect ample cooling for a 3-4 hour Halo romp.
- Price could be a little lower.I would not have purchased it for $29.95 (got it as a gift).I would be willing to pay $24.95

Excellent Product! ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Early Adopters Pick: March 2003. As theworld's smallest video-game platform, the Game Boy Advance SP is also the first to use a built-in rechargeable battery.

Many decried the original Game Boy Advance's reflective LCD screen and its reliance on external light sources. The Game Boy Advance SP's main feature--optional backlighting--fixes this complaint nicely, but it's the wealth of other features that makes this system so surprisingly good.

At first look, you might think the SP is a sleek travel alarm clock. When closed, it's just as tall and deep as the original GBA, but only half as wide. Due to its clamshell design, the screen is always protected from everyday scratches. A small button in the center of the console turns on the backlighting element for use in low-light situations, like in a moving car.

The SP comes with a well-designed power adapter that recharges a built-in battery; its prongs fold in for easier storage. Our informal tests found that it takes about four hours to fully charge (you can even play it while it's plugged in and charging), and the battery lasts about 11 hours with the backlighting constantly on--your results may vary. Using the backlighting less often will conserve battery power.

Withseparately soldcables, you can connect the Game Boy Advance SP to other GBAsfor multiplayer gaming (above) or to theNintendo GameCube(below) to access secret levels, exchange data, or use other specialfeatures that vary from game to game.

The quality of the backlighting is very good. It's bright and clear when looking directly at it, but degraded from other angles. This is only a problem for friends who are watching the screen from over your shoulder.

But size, power, and affordability do not come without trade offs. There's no headphone jack here, though Nintendo promises an adapter. The system isn't very loud at its highest volume, and the sound can be turned down to socially acceptable levels. The L and R shoulder buttons are a fraction of the size they were on the GBA, and thus are harder to hit. Also, the reduced size of the SP is slightly less comfortable for adult hands than the GBA, but perhaps more comfortable for smaller hands. The cartridge port placement on the lower part of the console is fine for GBA games, since they are flush with the console body, but older Game Boy Color carts will stick out in a way that takes some getting used to.

Open it up and the hinge will seek out a preferred, pre-set angle (about 150 degrees), though you can open it a bit wider or narrower for your own comfort. The hinge stands up well to lateral pressure, and over all, the SP seems just as rugged as its predecessor--which has proven to be very rugged, indeed. --Porter B. Hall

WORTH BUYING???????
The GameBoy SP has it's ups and downs. I like that the price droped to $79.95 or whatever it was. There is one thing I hate about the SP, there arnt that many good games for the thing. There are some I like, like Mario and Metrod. Another thing is that it's not that different frome the GBA. I LOVE THE LIGHT, I DON'T KNOW HOW I LIVED WITH NO LIGHT ON THE GBA. I once bought the GBA SP at GameSpot and I loved it, it kept me happy for a long time but it got boring and I sold it back to GameSpot. But if your into the GBA's and that other Nintendo stuff ye'll love the GBA SP.

Perfect Travel Buddy
Can't complain about the price since I bought the original Gameboy over 10 years ago for close to the same amount.

Pros:
Small dimensions...you can fit it anywhere (pocket, purse, etc.)
Very light weight
Folding design protects the screen from scratches/damage
Able to revive/play my original Gameboy games
Rechargable battery lets you save money on buying batteries
Rechargable battery actually lasts quite a while
Given a light on/off option to save batteries
Lots of really useful accessories in the market--best one I purchased is the AC/DC/Car Adapter
Lights indicate "fully charged" and "low battery"

PERFECT for traveling!

Cons:
Didn't come with a game
Ports in the rear are unprotected (uncovered)
A little too smooth design...makes it slippery
Games are expensive (typical...3-4 games = game console)
Headphone jack should have been a given (Why the adapter?)
Original adapter should have been dual voltage (after all, the GBA is designed for travelling, isn't it?)

Wishful thinking:
Protective rubber around it for shock-proofing and better grip
Adjustable light levels

Much Better Than Gameboy Color!
It's great that they keep improving gameboys! Last year i saved up my money and bought a gameboy, and boy have they improved! If u buy one the screen is lights up, better quality, and smaller games! I highly reccomend it! :)

better tan any gaemboy ever made!!
this gameboy is so awsome i love it! the only thing is it is not made as good as all the other gameboys but it's still great. i think tis toy is 50/50 in educatin. the good thing is it teaches hand/eye cordnation but on the other hand you would just sit and play on the couch but overalll it's awsome times 2!!!! you should really buy this sp. also the screen is very clear and it's really eay to hold and it does not hurt your hands like the fist gameboy.

awsome
Hey, I've had this system for a year now, and it is the greatest handheld I have ever seen. Of course it will probably be out of date soon with the new PSP and DS, but still this console rocks. It 's display is not frontlit so you can play in any lighting situation, there is a button to toggle the light if you don't need it, save some battery power. The battery is rechargable, no need to buy AA's unlike the old GBA. The battery takes about 3-4 hours to charge, and it lasts about 12 hours with constant backlight. You can juice it up to 18 hours without the backlight. There is no headphone port, but you can buy an adapter for it. Also it has the nice clamshell design to protect the screen and when it folds up it can easily fit in your pocket. ... Read more

xbox rocks
This site is the cheapest I have found for this card.<br /> Do not pay for your live service monthly on your credit card.<br /> It's alot cheaper to buy one of these cards every year.

Two reasons to get this card
There are only two reasons to get this Xbox Live subscription card. First, as a gift for someone who already has Xbox Live and wants to renew his subscription.Second, the normal yearly fee is $50, so if you can get this card cheaper than that, you'll save money.

This card is not a good way to get Xbox Live if you don't already have it.For that purpose, buy the starter kit (ASIN B000209V8K), which includes a free game, a headset, and a year subscription.Without the headset, Xbox Live is pretty boring.

Great gift for the Christmas season
Hey! You probably know at least one person who plays games on XBox LIVE. And what with the Christmas season coming up, this could be the perfect gift for him or her.

XBox LIVE is an online community of gamers. Friendships are often formed and who can blame them, what with the ability to actually to talk to someone who is playing the same game as you. You're instantly in a community filled with people who like this one game you like, and their are so many games which use LIVE for other things such as free downloads/updates for games. If you have a cable connection and an XBox, you can't afford to not have XBox LIVE. So if you know someone who has XBox LIVE, get them a gift that will last a year. Trust me, they will enjoy it.

Xbox Live the Best Internet Gaming Ever!!!
I know, I know. But I have been playing online since the days of text-based MUDDs. Most of you reading this are way too young to even know what a MUDD was, but back in 1982, we were playing them. Yes, I said 1982. I've been playing online games just that long and have seen the evolution of just about every type of online game and environment you can think of. I've played Battle.net, and Heat.net and just about every other online gaming service (free or subscription-based) that there has been to play over the last 20 years. Many of you may not even know what Xcite means, but they were responsible for online gaming on the 16-bit systems (SEGA Genesis and Super Nintendo). I had those too. "So after playing online for nigh 20 years, I had to ask myself what on Earth is Xbox Live (XBL) going to do that is so much more better about it than any other online experience than I have ever had," this is what I was thinking before I signed up, and I was very skeptical and rightfully so. But once I was on and was playing, my tune changed rather quickly. In all the years that I have been playing online, there has simply been no single experience as fun, exciting and solid as the XBL experience (yes, even the PS2 Online experience is inferior to XBL). It is quite safe to say, that they last 20+ years of online gaming have been ultimately leading up to XBL. Microsoft has taken all the best attributes of online gaming and infused them into XBL, while leaving all of the worst attrtributes on the cutting room floor. And check this out, they are constantly improving the experience. While you have a XBL subscription, all upgrades for the service are free of charge. And we get upgrades and improvements every few months. The XBL experience is so good, that many in even the PC gaming communittee prefer XBL over PC online gaming and are clamouring to get XBL on the PC - and later this year, they will finally have it. Then there is all the tons of free stuff that you can get on XBL. I cannot remember just how many new levels and modes and maps and soundtracks of various XBL games that I have downloaded in the last year for absolutely free. And with almost 100 games available to use the service and that number looking to more than double itself by the end of 2004, that's just even more opportunities to downlaod more free stuff to my Xbox harddrive. Inconclusion, XBL really is the best online gaming there has ever been to date. However, you do not have to take my word for it, you can find out for yourself for absolutely free. Most XBL games these days come with a 2-Month Trial Card FREE in the game's box. Just use that to sign-up for a temporary account and you get full access to all XBL services for FREE for two whole months. That's two whole months full access to the best online gaming service ever created. If by then you feel that this is not for you, then you are FREE to cancel the service without further obligation. YOU CANNOT LOSE. Anyway, I play XBL everyday, and I hope to see some of you there soon. ... Read more

Pretty Useless
I used my remote all of about 8 times before it stopped working.Even with the proprietary dongle inserted into a controller slot you cannot control this thing with a controller, you must use the remote control.When you take the dongle out with a DVD in, a screen will come up telling to reinsert, so if either the dongle or the remote get slightly injured or malfunction, then you've just wasted thirty bucks.I feel quite ripped off.With the low cost of DVDs nowadays, it's a MUCH better idea to buy a standalone IMHO, you can get a good progressive scan for about $30 or $40, which comes out to about the same price.

As a side, it is also EXTREMELY annoying that you can't turn on, or off the device with the remote, you must go up to box to do it yourself, especially annoying if you just want to watch a DVD in your bed and crash afterwards.

All in all the value proposition offered by this product is very low considering the similarly priced alternatives.

DVDs don't play!
DVD's which play perfectly well on other cheap players, freeze/skip or don't play when I try to play them on the XBOX. Don't waste your money on this, buy a stand-alone DVD player instead so you won't have the frustration that I've had!

Do NOT buy Substitutes!!!!!!!!!! Buy the original!!!!!!
Buy the original Microsoft XBOX DVD Remote. I bought a substitute from Game Liquidation and after only 10 movies the receiver/transmitter stopped working. I did not get a refund although I returned the product.

The original remote is GREAT! No problems so far and I have seen dozens of movies - satisfaction guaranteed.

Not what i was expecting
I got what i ordered, but your product advertised is a microsoft product.Please correct advertisement.other wise as long as i dont have any problems with it, im ok

DON'T buy this
This remote is of awful quality; i've been through two of them in the past year. I wouldn't complain so much if it didn't cost $30! It's worth ten, at most. Most people would be better off buying a cheap DVD player, rather than using the xbox. ... Read more

A Great Time
Our whole family has had a BLAST with this game! Highly recommended for the whole family, parents included. Even my Dad, age 69, grooves with it.

either is good
this game is dance dance for your arms. it is fun but not too challenging. all you do is put your hand in the right shape when called. and don't belive th create your own dance thing and the calorie thing and the two player thing and the songs are reduced. tçin create a dance, you make a dance but if the game dosen't like it, it comp0letly changes giving you a
pisicly impossible routine. this feture is better in dance dance. and the two player thing is complete nonsenes seeing as how it donsen,t tell you who should hit the marker which causes confusion and possibly colission. and the calorie thing geusses homuch you lost. and if you belive it, you better have good math skills because if you don't. youn won,t be correct, eve though you'll be wrong anyway. there is so much to say but my las sentances is the stars i gave this game are sympathy stars

Super fun AND great exercise!!
Eye Toy: Groove is incredibly fun!I was skeptical about how the gameplay would work until I tried it out at Best Buy and then I was SOLD!The technology is amazing, it really picks up movement well.You don't have to be able to dance in order to play, just be willing to flail your arms around like a fool.Multiple modes of play means it doesn't get too boring (although the song selection is somewhat limited - hopefully Groove 2 will be forthcoming).The songs are fun, though, not as good as Amplitude but much better than DDR.Once you get into it you can really get a great workout!Our arms and shoulders were very sore the next day, as well as our legs just from bopping to the beat.

Our only objection so far is that it seems you must enter your name after every single time you play.Since no controller is involved, you have to enter your name by waving your hands around and selecting the letters.For some reason these targets seem less sensitive, so entering your name wears you out at least as fast as actually playing.We just got the game yesterday, so perhaps we'll figure out a way around this as we keep going.

Coolest thing I've ever seen!
The day Eyetoy: Groove came out I bought it! It requires hitting, waving, swiping and a lot of movment! It even has a calorie counter so you can see how many calories you have burnt! Also TWO people can dance at the SAME TIME! Here is a tip for all Eye Toy players: when it tells you what to do in the beginning push start on the controller and it will skip it!

EyeToy Party! My House! Be There!
Man let me tell you how good I am at this game. I suck at DDR but man oh man I can really tear through this one like tissue paper...WORD! If you've played EyeToy Play, Groove is pretty much the beats game in it with the cds and the speakers. Its a lot harder though cause the make you do different motion other than fist fist fist fist (you guys know what I'm talking about) It got REAL SONGS and most of them are REALLY BAD SONGS!!!! I just wish there were more modes to this game, its kinda all the same. But I'm gonna go practice and the try out for the next Wade Robson Project. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

To help you start your Game Boy Advance collection, we've created this special bundle, which includes the games Fire Pro Wrestling , Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and selected accessories. With Fire Pro Wrestling, you can enter the ring solo--or with a friend for some tag-team action--and execute dozens of moves, holds, and throws. In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, players perform hundreds of complicated tricks for points, and can ride as T. Hawk or any of a dozen other pros in the game. We've also included an AC power adapter to help you save on batteries and a Worm Light Advance to help you play through those low-light situations.

The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability; a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations; smart power management that extended battery life; and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultra-portable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedules, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike.

Now the Game Boy Advance (or GBA, as it's already being called) comes to us with power that would have been unthinkable back in the day. The portable's 32-bit RISC CPU runs circles around the former's 8-bit workhorse, allowing it to process program instructions much faster. What that means to everyday gamers is more intricate visuals, more simultaneous movement on the screen, and better sound. In fact, the often-annoying beeps and boops of old-school Game Boy titles are being replaced with digitized stereo sound. The extra processing muscle also means you can network up to four Game Boy Advance units together, via the communication cable, for multiplayer fun off of one shared cartridge. Only two Game Boy Color units could link together, and each unit had to have its own copy of the game.

What's not being replaced, however, is the wide selection of Game Boy games. Because the Game Boy Advance system is backward-compatible, it will play its own line of colorful games--including such launch titles as Super Mario Advance, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Army Men Advance, High Heat Major League Baseball 2002, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2--as well as all of the monochrome and color games that have already been released for the previous Game Boy systems (nearly 500 in total). Players can view the older games in their smaller, originally square dimensions, or, with the touch of the shoulder button, expand the game to fit the GBA's larger screen. We tried enlarging the screen on a Game Boy Color edition of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and found that Mr. Hawk was much easier to see.

When you first pick up the system, you'll be amazed how lightweight it is. At fewer than 5 ounces and a little larger than a deck of playing cards, the system easily fits into a shirt pocket without any sag. The GBA's wider shape fits better into a wider range of hands. The former design too often pushed the left and right thumb knuckles together during gameplay. The new layout should be comfortable for all ages, and the center screen orientation makes it easy to see.

Game Boy Color owners will find the GBA's larger screen somewhat darker than they're used to, but that's because the screen is outfitted with antiglare technology. Like the old Game Boy Color, the color LCD is not backlit, so you need pretty good light to play by. Unlike that system, though, you won't be craning your neck and tilting the unit to see around the hot-spot reflection of the light bulb in your screen.

But you'll also notice the graphics. Sporting what's basically a redesigned SNES technology, you'll see things on the GBA that you'd see on the big consoles, such as scaling (making objects larger or smaller) and rotation effects--technological advances that will affect the look of everything from crossing a finish line to throwing a touchdown pass to crawling through a dungeon.

Some might argue that Nintendo could have put even more power into the Game Boy Advance. After all, the 32-bit video game had its heyday more than five years ago. Perhaps, but after handling this new handheld, we're inclined to think that Nintendo wisely struck a balance between size, price, and power consumption. And considering how well the old 8-bit system weathered the decade's technological storms, we think the Game Boy Advance is here to stay, and we're glad. --Porter B. Hall

THE COOLEST
This is the coolest thing! My friend just got one for his birthday and it's neat! I haven't played tony hawk on gba yet, but I played it on N64 and it was the chad!

Happy with GBA and TH2, forget the rest
As a Nintendo fan I was happy to see this unit come out.However, stay away from this bundle.The light unit and the power back can be bought seperately for less than the cumulatice price of the bundle and the wrestling game is just not fun.My advice get the GBA and Tony Hawk 2, just don't buy it in this package deal!

Much ado about nothing!
As an avid Nintendo fan, I was really excited about purchasing a Game Boy Advance this summer.So I got one, and was thoroughly disappointed.Not that the games aren't awesome and the graphics aren't smooth.I am disappointed that the screen is so difficult to see.Without a wormlight or other illumination, the screen of the Game Boy Advance is too dark to facilitate gameplay.Nintendo says they didn't include a backlit screen because it would have drained the batteries too quickly.They should have built in rechargable batteries and gone with the backlit screen.I am highly disappointed with my Game Boy Advance.Save your money.If you just HAVE to get one, Pelican sells a hooded light that also doubles as a screen protector.That gives you the brightest light with the least amount of glare on the screen. ...

In a surprising number of ways, the Nintendo DS is quite unlike any video game system that's come before. First, there's the two screens, one above and one below. The idea might seem like a gimmick -- the screens are far enough apart that you won't be able to see them as one long screen -- but the format works in a complementary way. Depending on the game, the DS serves action in one screen and details, maps, stats, or alternate views in the other. Switching your eyes between screens takes a little getting used to, but quickly becomes automatic, like checking a rear-view mirror while driving. Both screens are back-lit and a little larger than that of the Game Boy Advance SP, so they'll be easy to see in most conditions.

Players can control games using the touch-sensitive bottom screen of the DS.

The bottom screen also functions as a PDA-style touchpad. It comes with a small stylus, as well as a stylus that attaches to your thumb. This touch screen might be both the best and worst feature of the DS. One one hand, it brings the freedom of PC-style mouse control into gaming, but using it also tends to block what's going on in that screen. For example, while playing the Metroid Prime: Hunters, you could use the left thumb pad to move, the left shoulder button to fire, and the touch screen to look and jump. As you track foes on the bottom-screen map, however, your view will be partially obscured by your own right thumb.

The good news is that Nintendo has stressed a lot of comfort options, both in the operating system and in their games. Want to play Metroid without the touch-pad? Select a different control scheme in the game's option menu, which also includes configurations for lefties. You can even customize your DS to automatically play the inserted title or to start with the main menu, choose which screen to display your GBA games, to add a nickname for wireless play, and more.

Up to 16 players can connect wirelessly within a 100-foot radius.

That's right, the DS is wireless-enabled. Say good-bye to that daisy-chain of network cables that was previously necessary for portable multiplayer gaming. Nintendo's proprietary wireless format has a radius rated at 30 to 100 feet depending on environmental interference with its signal. Surely, it's more than enough for friends to game from one end of the bus to the other. We experimented in a small, nearly empty parking lot and got great reception at the upper end of that rating. The DS network can handle up to 16 users, though you can expect the maximum number of players to vary from game to game.

Also, unlike all but the earliest video game systems, the DS comes with a built-in application. It's called PictoChat, and it allows people to write and draw pictures in a chat-room format. Since it's built in to the DS operating system, you'll always be able to interact with other DS users.

The built-in program PictoChat lets you write and draw with others.

But not all is new; Nintendo has re-invested some favorite features of older platforms into the DS. It's backward compatible to the Game Boy Advance, which means that older Game Boy and Game Boy Color games won't work in this machine but GBA games will run fine (sadly, the wireless feature doesn't extend to GBA games). Like the GBA SP, the DS is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides approximately 10 hours of play on a four-hour charge. Old timers might recognize the A/B/X/Y face buttons from the Super Nintendo controller, though they're not in the same positions. The standard headphone jack and wide-body comfort of the first GBA model is back, coupled this time with the SP's screen-saving clamshell design. In terms of its ability to display graphics and sound, the DS is a little better -- and a whole lot smaller -- than the Nintendo 64.

Overall, the Nintendo DS represents a rather large leap in portable gaming. With some mystery shrouding the future abilities of its internal microphone (voice recognition) and its IEEE 802.11 wireless network, the DS may have left some surprises up its sleeve. --Porter B. Hall

Pros:

• Great design marries innovative new features with great features of old systems and lots of customizable options
• Wireless up to 100 feet
• Built-in PictoChat lets you write and draw pictures with up to 15 other DS users

Cons:

• Sometimes hard to see and use the touch screen at the same time
• Wireless multiplayer feature won't work with GBA games
• Can't connect to other wireless devices...yet

Very Impresed!!!
Fellow gamers i have to say this console is amazing! Right now i believe they could use some strong games, but they're coming(NFSU2, Metroid Prime). I personally like Pokemon Dash. Don't get confused by all this PSP Talk. Sure the PSP has all these cool features,BUT Ds is just plain funner. The psp runs for 4 hrs on ridge racer, while ds run 6-10! This is a must buy!

?ds?
If I were you I would wait a while before purchising this item. I have done a little research on both psp and ds and I am leaning towards psp. First off I've never liked Sony or Nintendo but I must say I was impressed at this item. I was so close to buying the ds that I had the money in my hand and I was standing at the counter. The store(EB games) had some pictures of the psp hanging around. I was impressed by its looks espessilly its huge screen. I had a talk with the clerk who had owned a ds and had played a psp import. I was amazed by its features (pictures, dvd quality movies, music, much better graphics, better games, smaller size, quicker charge time, internet acess, farther wireless playing, an international gameplay option on launch, interchangable lighting, slick disign, larger game space, possible downloadable movies). I decided to hold onto my money and wait for the psp. I suggest you do too. Maybe if your a big nintendo fan wait for that new gameboy to come out I heard it was going to be great. As for the ds I'm just not impressed.

It's Not Perfect, But Pretty Damn Close!
First know that I didn't get this bundle, I bought everything seperately and don't have the carrying case.

DS Review: The DS is the first portable game system to go 3-D, with the exception of Wing Commander: Prophecy for the Game Boy Advance.This is also the first portable game system to have a touch screen except for PDA games, and it also has a microphone and two screens.This game system is a pretty good size, even though it takes a little getting used to, especially if you want to use the touch screen for an analog stick as I do.Nintendo hasn't yet released many maintenance kits on this system, things like screen protectors, but they do have stylus packs.When you get this system, also get the Pelican screen protectors, I think they are the only company yet to come out with DS screen protectors, and they are better than nothing.They worked fine for me.The system is designed well and looks good, and the stylus placement is placed well.The problem is with the thumbpad which you usually use as your thumb on an analog stick.I'm a righty, but if you are a lefty, it's hard to reach over with the pad because it is tied to the system on the left side, but you can easily just take it off.The other problem is the multiplayer.There isn't much point with the wireless if it can only go 30-100 feet.Even though you can't get tangled up, so its better in that respect, I can't play against my next door neighbor without going to his house.I wish that they made this longer, and hope someday they do.I give this system 4.7/5 stars.

Super Mario 64: This is a great starter, and probably the only game worth buying at launch.It has good graphics, and not that many bugs in it.You can use the buttons to move and do everything, and you can also use the touch screen with either hand as an analog stick with the thumb pad.This game is a lot of fun, and multiplayer is decent too.The game is HUGE, it is bigger than the original 64 version, and the card is so much smaller.Oh yeah, the cards.The game cards can be good or bad.They are the size of a small CF card, except I think it is a little smaller.Sorry, that didn't have much to do with the game.Anyway, this game is the best one out there so far, and it will suppy you with plenty of hours of fun.This is the only game I have with the exception of the Metroid Prime Hunters demo, and I never play Hunters.I play Mario at my house like a regular game system, I don't have to be traveling or really bored either.The only thing wrong with this game is that the touch screen analog stick simulator isn't perfect, but that's more of a system fault than the game, and you can just use the D-Pad if its that much of a problem.

My conclusion is that this game and system is good, and if you have enough money and can afford it, it is definetely worth the money.

BEST SYSTEMEVER
good
1 picto chat
2 great games
3 cheap games
4 built in wireless
bad
1cant play gbc games

Its so so
I bought the ds out of hesitation thinking yet this will be cool, but at the same time noting the lack of software support. I thought the graphics were impressive, a major step above Gameboy Advance... Tho after playing through all the games available i grew bored and impatient waiting for something new. I also found that when i played the DS i would get cramps in my hand due to the poor chasis design. What did i do i traded my DS for a psp (japanese model) and i am happier than i was with the ds. Now to put some facts straight the psp does support wireless play more so than the ds since the psp can connect to a wireless network and play via the internet. The psp does have a disk drive (duh) thats where the games are inserted (i love uneducated reviews). The psp's battery life is shorter than the ds but hey i couldnt play the ds over 5 hours without getting cramps so whats the diffrence. Graphics wise the psp is far better than the ds, if you want to validate this statement look for screenshots of ridgeracer for the Ds and then for the psp compare. I owned both versions and the psps blows the ds's away graphicly and audibly. For my closing i would like to say that having a game machine that plays mp3s, videos, acts as a picture viewer is a perk not a downfall so stop claiming it as that. PSP is gonna own Nintendo just wait and watch. Oh and for the guy that stated he doesnt need another laptop why did you buy another pc? (xbox) ... Read more

DEF. WORTH THE $$$
First off, i did not buy the Sony brand cable.I bought a Madcatz brand one for $14.99 from Gamestop (thats all they had).I bought this cable because i recently bought a new tv that supports component video.It is NOT an HDTV so i didn't expect it to make a huge difference, but boy was i surprised!Games/movies were sharper and the colors were richer.Def. a noticable difference.I can only imagine the quality you would get if you had an HDTV.

1080i in GT4, the only way is with these...
If you want to experiance something awesome play GT4 with these component video cables and your surround sound hooked up with Driving Force Pro as your controller. You can try out this setup at Best Buy right now. If you have an HDTV and you have 20 dollars by this. Regular SD games look crisper as well. You won't regret it.

Excellent! for FFXI the difference is awesome...
Now I can say I am playing the game! the cable literally opened my eyes to the definition of the colors and images of the game... I am using a flat screen Samsung TV and game looks awesome! {Component Cable} {Can I have it?} {Yes, Please}

Produces a Great Picture.
Prior to buying these component cables, I had been playing my PS2 with composite cable, connected through my VCR.The result of this: soft, muddy, and dull graphics.After purchasing Final Fantasy XI for my console, I heard quite a few times how the PC version is far superior visually.I had enough of my inferior video and audio experiences, so I purchased a new televsion, and these cables.The result: CRISP, CLEAN, VIBRANT images.The first time I turned on FFXI with these cables, the difference visually was as clear as day.The various imagery in the game, from trees, rocks, the sky, the terrain, and the characters pop out and are very well defined.They all seem to have the depth that I was missing all this time.The text present in the game has also become much clearer.I am proud to say that I can now enjoy this game at the same level visually as PC gamers enjoy theirs.My PS2 has gotten a major face lift.

AV ComponentvrS/Video
I just bought the component AV cable from a 3rd party company and already has the S/video cables (3rd party too) . I've read that AV component it's much better than S video, and tha's why I bought it. But is not!.AV component seems to be a little better than standard AV cables (RCA). S video gives an extraordinary brilliance to images. Video Component looks opaque, maybe Monster cables works better. In summary:
1- S/Video
2- AV component
3- Standar Av cables (rca)

Could it be 'cause they are 3rd party. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability, a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations, smart power management that extended battery life, and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultraportable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedule, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike.

Now the Game Boy Advance (or GBA as people are already calling it) comes to us with power that would have been unthinkable back in the day. The portable's 32-bit RISC CPU runs circles around the former's 8-bit workhorse, allowing it to process program instructions much faster. What that means to everyday gamers is more intricate visuals, more simultaneous movement on the screen, and better sound. In fact, the often-annoying beeps and boops of old-school Game Boy titles are being replaced with digitized stereo sound. The extra processing muscle also means you can even network up to four Game Boy Advance units together, via the communication cable, for multiplayer fun off of one shared cartridge. Only two Game Boy Color units could link together, and each unit had to have its own copy of the game.

What's not being replaced, however, is the wide selection of Game Boy games. Because the Game Boy Advance system is backward-compatible, it will play its own line of colorful games--including such launch titles as Super Mario Advance, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, Army Men Advance, High Heat Major League Baseball 2002, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2--as well as all of the monochrome and color games that have already been released for the previous Game Boy systems (nearly 500 in total). Players can view the older games in their smaller, originally square dimensions, or, with the touch of the shoulder button, expand the game to fit the GBA's larger screen. We tried enlarging the screen on a Game Boy Color edition of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 and found that Mr. Hawk was much easier to see.

When you first pick up the system, you'll be amazed at how lightweight it is. At fewer than 5 ounces and a little larger than a deck of playing cards, the system easily fits into a shirt pocket without any sag. The GBA's wider shape fits better into a wider range of hands. The former design too often pushed the left and right thumb knuckles together during gameplay. The new layout should be comfortable for all ages, and the center screen orientation makes it easy to see.

Game Boy Color owners will find the GBA's larger screen somewhat darker than they're used to, but that's because the screen is outfitted with antiglare technology. Like the old Game Boy Color, the color LCD is not backlit, so you need pretty good light to play by. Unlike that system, though, you won't be craning your neck and tilting the unit to see around the hot-spot reflection of the light bulb in your screen.

But you'll also notice the graphics. Sporting what's basically a redesigned SNES technology, you'll see things on the GBA that the big consoles do, such as scaling (making objects larger or smaller) and rotation effects--technological advances that will affect the look of everything from crossing a finish line to throwing a touchdown pass to crawling through a dungeon.

Some might argue that Nintendo could have tried to put even more power into this Game Boy Advance. After all, the 32-bit video game had its heyday more than five years ago. Perhaps, but after handling this new handheld, we're inclined to think that Nintendo wisely struck a balance between size, price, and power consumption. And considering how well the old 8-bit system weathered the decade's technological storms, we think the Game Boy Advance is here to stay, and we're glad. --Porter B. Hall

Very Good
I used to own a game boy color, but i updated to a gba, for the better sound and graphics. I found that the ONLY downside is that it has no backlight. I am going to buy a gba light and sheild asap to fix that, and i will reveiw it too. I am just starting to collect games, as i only have one, but i am hoping it will be a long time before i get bored and get a gba sp. the price is good, but if you really want a good experience, and you have the money, get a Nintendo DS. My brother has one, and he enjoys it. The downside to a DS is they only have 3 or 4 good games out.

Good...........but outdated sad but true
The game boy advance is definetly better than a game boy color.Bigger screen, smaller game consoles, and better grafics.Why only 3 stars.Well, this system just can't compare to the new psp or nintendo ds.If you want a cheap gaming console, this might be the way to go. It is inexpensive and has lots of games.If you however don't mind spending a little (or a lot) more money than you should propably go with the psp if you are older or the nintendo ds if you are like under 12. Like I said this was worth it like 3 or 4 years ago but just like the game boy color before it, this system is getting old.

hello
this game boy sucks it close and it has horible graphics.you should get the nintendo ds

Great System after 3 years
I am here to say that I am not too big on the whole SP idea. I bought a Platinum SP about 2 years ago when they first hit shelves and I can't honestly say it was the greatest purchase I made. If you ever have time to kill, go on Ebay and compare what you can get a Regular Model for to what you pay for a SP. There is no comparison, for lack of a better word I'd have to say looking back on it that the SP was overhyped and priced. The controls give a sick feeling of clausterphobia and the light is something useful only to those that take long trips day-in and day-out. I recently was able to purchase a 3rd GBA system on ebay for the jaw-dropping price of $35.00, and the real shocker was that the system was BRAND NEW. The original GBA model had the SP beat in so many ways it is hard to look back on it and think what a mistake I made for ever buying the SP. This system is the complete deal, I wouldn't pay the listing price of $70.00 for it, but if you find a bargain like I did, go for it. The graphics are crisp and it too is small enough to just slip in a pocket, I wouldn't recomend storing it in a pocket because of the scratches it may cause. The light is the only thing that the SP has over the standard system. I personally believe that the GBA regular has better battery life than an SP. I am playing Zelda Minish Cap on a system that came out 3 yrs ago and is still running strong. Over the past years I've played it, I've played some of the best games on any console such as Metroid Zero Mission and Fusion, not to mention the Castlevania series which in my opinion ranks as one the best series for any system to date. With games like these becoming harder to find, it sure would be nice to find more regular GBA's on a store shelf...

Steller Handheld with steller line ups
Put it simply...this is a great edition to the nintendo franchise.Advance has a great line up of games like
Metroid Zero Mission
Advance Wars
The Mario Games and Zelda games.Awesome must have handheld for this year, and if you don't already have it get SP then!

4.9 out of 5...A great hand held to own.. ... Read more

Editorial Review

With a sub-$100 price tag and a massive software library, the Sony PlayStation is the undisputed king of home video game consoles. Although the PlayStation is no longer the fastest machine on the market, it does boast the broadest selection of software. Some of the hottest console games available today are created exclusively for the PlayStation, including several modern-day video gaming classics (Metal Gear SolidandCrash Bandicoot to name a few).

The Sony PlayStation truly shines with 3D-rendered action games, such as Tomb Raider and Syphon Filter. These and other 3D-based titles place players in the middle of elaborate gaming environments that take full advantage of the system's ability to render up to 360,000 polygons per second. The PlayStation also has the capability to display 16.8 million colors simultaneously and can support full-frame video playback at 30 frames per second. In addition to impressive graphics, the PlayStation also offers CD-quality sound. Each PlayStation disc has the capacity to store up to 650 MB of data--significantly more information than can be stored on cartridge-based games. As an added bonus, the PlayStation will even play your favorite music CDs (accompanied by a selection of cool graphics).

Additionally, the PlayStation now comes packed with Sony's impressive dual shock controller, which allows players to feel every punch, kick, and rumble during gameplay. The controller features dual-analog thumb joysticks and round rubber grips for improved game control and comfort. Separate accessories that could enhance the PlayStation experience include an additional controller--allowing two-player action--and a memory card so players can save their progress in a game. --Brett Atwood ...

Games are great!
I loved it! It has great games including, the Final Fantasy series, all the Tony Hawks, and the Maddens. I think it is better than the PSone because it can use game shark, has a fan so it does not break down easily. Get a used PS2 because it can play more games and you can get them for about $120 dollers!

It wasnt even good while it was in style
This is a very dissapointing system. Slow loading, Bad graphics, and terrible games. But it has a good controller.

dis-satisfied buyer
will not purchase from this guy again. not honest with his description of item. buyer's beware!

great but graficks a kind of 2-d and 3-d

I love it.My parnts might get it for my b-day.PS2 is no different then the first.So what PS2 plays dvd so does my computer.PSone rules because there are so many good games.

Logitech Inc (967199-0100) USB Keyboard for PS2 ... Read more

Compact, but functional
I was looking for a way to save space on my desktop. Numeric keypads are a waste of space unless you're using a cash register but they occupy valuable space. I'd been looking for a low cost space saving keyboard but they seemed to be expensive. But then I saw this on sale. It wasn't marketed as working with PCs but I risked it anyway. It works perfectly with both MacOS X and Windows XP.



It certainly saves space. It's actually more compact than laptop keyboards. I'm used to using the Fn key to get features like 'Home' and 'PgUp' but the number and function keys are half height which makes them slightly tricky to use. But this may affect touch typists more than hunt-and-peck types like me.



Overall a great space saver for PCs but slightly cramped layout. I've not tried it on a PS2. I've no idea why it is marketed as a PS2 keyboard!

Absolutley Retarted
This Keyboard is the apitimy of accesories. The overall use of this item is at an all time low. The board is made of cheap plastic and the keys are not safe to pressure. Their easy breaking habits make this keboard a death trap for small children. A waste of time to make a keyboard for a playstation 2 instaed of a computer. The small number of games one is able to play with a PS2 is very limited and the number of good games is even more scarce. The chances of you using this keyboard frequently would be close to 1 in 99999999999 trillion. I am serious the moment you open the box you wont even use this product. That is how retarted it really is!!
Don't waste your money....Instead give the money to a charity [...]

Works great with Windows XP
Bought this keyboard to use at local LAN parties. It's incredibly small, but still fully comfortable for typing. The placement of some of the keys is a little different, but I've had no problems getting used to them after about a week of normal use. I have no real complaints, although I wish that Logitech had given a small amount of space between the row of function keys and the number keys. Both rows are smaller buttons and the space would have made the keys a bit easier to hit when gaming.

Overall still a fantastic product.

logitech usb keyboard for ps2
This is one of the best keyboards on the market for a reasonable price. the good thing is it size. It's small enough to fit in your lap as you send messages to your friends with the control in your hand. It works great with online titles such as socom2 and resident evil outbreak. I highly recommend this product if you play on-line a lot.

Awesome keyboard
This keyboard is perfect for any online PS2 game.I bought it for Final Fantasy XI and have been very happy with it.If you can afford it, though, I would recommend the Logitech Netplay thing that has the keyboard and controller in one unit so you don't have to switch between the keyboard and the controller. ...

Good for more than just entertainment.
I've got to be honest, this game has been more entertaining than probably the last three games I've bought, not that they were bad though. The funny thing about these kind of games (so long as you're using a light gun) is that they improve your accuracy with firearms. It's no substitute for real shooting, but then again, how often do you spend hours shooting probably thousands of rounds like in these games? Now, on the game itself, the graphics are good enough, but the arcade style makes it look... well, not real. But then again that is part of what gives the game it's charm. Buy the game, and a light gun!

Two words...LIGHT GUN!!!
This game is FUN, especially if you are a twitch gamer who has a few anger issues (me).The game is basically suped up duck hunt but I don't know why it is SO MUCH FUN.The story mode is great fun and can be finished in a manner of hours if you are good, the challenge mode is very challenging, the unlockable crisis mode is probably the most fun I have ever had sniping in my entire life, and to top it all off, if you have another guncon... Can you say MULTIPLAYER.Also, if you aren't aquainted with time crisis but are with other light gun games there is one BIIIIIIG difference.Instead of desperately plugging everything that moves and preying you get it before it gets you, you can hit one of the buttons on the guncon (or release, depending on your control style)and take cover behind an object nearby.But as with every game... there are drawbacks.For one, if you don't have a guncon and don't have the money for the version w/ the guncon then you have to play with an awkward blue reticle that is INCREDIBLY slow.If you have a larger TV then you cannot hit enemies on the sides (at least, I couldn't).You have to calibrate the darn guncon every time you boot up the game and if you calibrate it wrong then you have to reset the ps2 and try again.The graphics aren't the best on earth.The storyline is wierd and hard to follow (But no where near as bad as kingdom hearts, SHEESH!!!).There is the incredibly tedious hookup process.and if you have a smaller TV...Let's just say you are gonna have to be three inches away from the screen to spot some enemies.PLUS the multiplayer split screen is TINY, VERY VERY TINY and if you want to play like the arcade, you need a ps2 serial link cable(From what I've seen you cannot link two PS2s Via network adapter, sowwy) TWO guncons, TWO TVs, TWO Ps2s, and TWO copies of time crisis 3.If you ain't got the dough you ain't gonna go!Although it seems like the bad outweighs the good, there's just something about nailing terrorists right in the head with a stream of lead that just feels oh so good.This deserves a definate 5 out of 5.

Ah.. the Arcade...
I always begged my parents to play this game in an arcade. Finally my endless begging has come to an end!Time Crisis 3 is probably one of the overall better games for the PS2. Just like its arcade counterpart, this game is a blast to play! The graphics and sound effects are exactly like the game we're all used to playing... Maybe even BETTER!!!!! Some people complain about the cramped split-screen 2 player function. However, they left out the fact that you can connect 2 PS2s together and play on seprate screens...Just like the arcade! Overall, this is an excellent game that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a new and fresh experience.

Time crises is a 5 star game

This Box Rocks
For months I've had to carry my XBOX, controllers, Controller Converters, Electrical & A/V Wires, LAN cables, and games in my green sports bag (which I recieved as a gift from my father's gift of cologne!).... It held all my items, but it did not PROTECT THEM.
With this suit case, I am now able to not only protect my XBOX, and accessories, but put everything I actually use all in one place. Plus it saves me space in my car's trunk since I practically live out of my car (I'm currently a college student).



You have to be nuts to not appreciate the extra accessories (the CD Disc Case, Programable controller and DVD Lens Cleaner). You don't have to use all these items, since they're easily sellable on your own accord.

Great buy and save!

Not worth the money
This item, while neat in its own feature-esque way, is not worth the (...) one would put into owning it.It's only really useful when you take your Xbox places, and the case only holds 6 discs.The cleaning kit is absolutely worthless, but the controller is useful... if you don't already have 4. ...

Ok For A While
I couldn't wait to get playing. I played for a couple hours and it was "good". But after that, the down arrow wouldn't work. You would hit it and it didn't do anything. I got three words for you Don't Buy One. My cousins have Konami brand ones and they work great.

Great Mat But Get One On eBay!
This mat is great for beginners.It won't last too long for advance users but this mat is a great way for a beginners to learn how to play.Some people recommend duct tapping plywood on the bottom of the mat some it responds better, but if you get a mat anywhere, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND getting one on eBay.Usually, they are brand new and factory sealed.They usually come in a sets of two (one for you and a friend) and sell for about $8.50 like this one (either in XBox or PS2) and $15.95 for shipping (The Buy It Now price on eBay is usually $8.50 but you can still bid on it to save a couple of bucks).Shipping for these mats on amazon.com are $4.49 for 3-5 day shipping and $8.98 for two day shipping so you still come out ahead on eBay.I got a mat that retails for $130 (its sort of like the mat that sells for $99 here; its more expensive because it has extra padding and it will last longer) for $20 and $25 dollar shipping.For hardcore fans who really got some moves and play the DDR games a lot, eBay has the metal dance mats with the bar (looks exactly like the one in the arcades) for about $150 (not including shipping).Otherwise, this is an awesome mat but if you want to save money and get one for when a friend comes over, get one on eBay (if you get one on eBay, search ddr or search ddr extreme).

3 faulty pads in a row
Within a couple weeks the down arrow started failing.Amazon quickly replaced the pad with the same results.Then we had to return the 3rd pad for the same reason.Something is seriously wrong.

Response for J. Baer
Hey J. Baer, sorry this response is so late, but I noticed you were asking about agood dance pad for the X-box. I wholeheartedly recommend the RedOctane.com Ignition Pad (Dual Platform Edition). The cord is split at the end so that it will work with either PSX/PS2 or X-Box. Its quite a bit more expensive ($109.95) than the pad listed on this page, but it is well worth your money. I'm an officer for a DDR club at a university and we've bought these pads for our club with money from dues. Most hardcore members (including myself) own Ignition pads themselves because they are the favorite softpad among the DDR community. We also have 2 Cobalt Flux pads, which are incredible, but not very practical for your purposes ($300 each).
Check out the RedOctane website and see what you think. They are definitely worth your money. We have been having problems with one of our pads lately, but thats because they get so much usage by all our club members.

Works great for 1st 3 months
Do not purchase.I have bought 2 copies of this and in both instances, it worked for the first 3 months and then wouldn't go online to download codes nor would it even load the codes already stored on the flash card.This rendered both copies useless.Customer service is non-existent both on their website and by phone.When you call them (not toll free), you get an answering maching asking to leave your name and number for someone to call you back.So far, no one has returned my call and I have two $40 coasters now.Stay away, stay very far away from this product or any of their other AR products since I've had similar problems with all of their products.

You Can Finally Win The Game! Great for X-Key CodeBreaker
If you have never used a memory card for your Playstation PS One, then you are in for a treat.They come in Emerald Green, Blue, and Crimson Red. Of course, you can by the standard white.But different colors are cool and are the more updated memory cards for the system.This little thing slips into (hear the "click") the left entry of the Playstation PS One and never falls off.I played Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare, Aladdin: N. Revenge, and Atlantis: The Lost Empire with it and was able to save a spot in the game(s) fifteen times.One spot of memory can be automatically erased by selecting that certain numeral/title for your new spot to save a game, and yet save all other spots too.No need to start a game from the very beginning anymore.Just select the spot you want to begin at.Say youjust finished one hard task on the damn game, and you don't want to do it again.If you picked up an item in your gameplay that is used to save a game or the game lets you know you can save your game now, do it!You will never have to complete that segment again (unless you need to pick up weapons).You can start the game fresh where you left off, or thereabouts.YOU CAN FINALLY WIN THE GAME!I used the PS One Crimson Red Memory Card as an "X-Key" memory card when I use the "CODEBREAKER" for PS One by Pelican Accessories.

What can I say? This is the pinnacle of red-card glory!!
Amazing!! What a triumph of technology! I am left speechless by theraw POWER of this little device!
Hey, I was prompted to write a review, so I did!!

Old technology
Okay. These is a memory card. You need one to save games. Also, they cost way to much, considering they're at least 5 years old. Also, they're surprisingly hard to find. I'm not sure what's up with that.

YES! This Does work with PS2!
To answer A gamerfrom PITTBURG,US's reveiw. Any and Every PS memory card works with PS2. But only with PS games. PS memory cards only save PS games and PS2 memory cards only save PS2 games. GET IT!

Best Controller Ever
This is a beautiful controller for several reasons. I have big hands and this conforms to my hands perfectly, my hands fit to it naturally. Another thing I like is the ruggedness of the thing, it has heft and weight to it, a solid, quality feel, with quality rubbery like plastic, so it feels good to hold. It is not cheap feeling plastic like some other controllers.

I would especially recomend this for you if you have big hands like me.You won't feel as cramped as you do on the stock controller supplied with the box, also if you like things that feel solid and sturdy then this controller will be right for you.

wore out in less than a year
As noted by another reviewer, the rubber joystick pads wore out and were unreplaceable. After improvising with rubber bands, the controller itself then became unusable, drifting and not moving where the right joystick was pointed.

This product was great for about six months, but I cannot recommend it due to it's short life.

Logitech is missing the boat
Run do not walk away from the Logitech counter. When the rubber pads wore off my game pad I was willing to pay for replacement parts. Their 800 number sales line was delighted to tell me to call their toll call help line and sit on hold for 20 minutes.According to Logitech these parts are not available for replacement regardless of wether or not you wish to pay for them. This is a terrible example of customer service. Logitech has enough brand recognition apparently that it does not need new customers. I personally will never buy another Logitech product. Companies who refuse to support their products will not get my business.

One of the best controllers for Xbox
Logitech almost always makes great hardware, at least that is my personal opinion. Almost all of my computer peripherals (mouse, keyboard, speakers, gamepad) are from Logitech and their wireless has never disappointed me before. Again they come through in spades with a wireless controller that does not disappoint. There is no lag between pressing a button and an action happening on screen. I was also able to go from one end of my house to another, which is a good distance, and the response time was the same. Now, I know that may not be the biggest deal, but it does tell me that I will be able to sit in front of my T.V. just a few feet back and not experience any problems. Another great thing about Logitech is their warrenty, which often times does not get covered in reviews like this. I have had one piece of equipment go bad in the 7+ years I have used their hardware, and when I got to someone on the phone they were a pleasure to deal with and the return policy was great. I think that is important when deciding to purchase anything, especially when it costs a few dollars more than some of the competition. Overall, I could not be happier with the controller, or with Logitech for that matter.

Great at first, doesn't last long
I was very happy with the controller for the first 3 months I had it, then the left thumb pad wore down and is falling off.Then the left joystick also began to stick, and would not return to the home position.When playing halo, I can't stand still, when I let go of the joystick, it makes me slowly drift left, often falling off cliffs to my death.I would not buy this model again. ...

Works Perfectly
After trying two different brands of PS2 wireless controllers that DIDN'T work, we bought a Logitech for $10 more.It works perfectly, fits well in the hand and gets the job done.Life is too short to spend your time returning defective junk to the game store.Fork over the additional 10 bucks and get quality gear!

Buyer Beware!
I've always seen Logitech as a very good company that makes high quality products, until the cordless PS2 controller came along.Besides the fact the controller is VERY heavy, the left analog stick hangs, and I have gotten minimal play with it.Why?Because it also has a terrible "sleep mode" (AKA: there's no way to turn the thing off and save battery life).With no vibration on, I would say I may have gotten 25 hours of game play with new batteries (and that is rounding up).I called tech support, and they are no help.(I didn't really expect a lot since they can't make a defective product work.)Logitech should refund everyone who bought this controller.Perhaps this will help someone out there who thinks Logitech's game console products are as good as their computer products.I would not recommend this product.Buyer Beware!

Also beware that Logitech makes a wireless controller for the XBOX as well.After the horrible experience with this PS2 controller, I bought the Intec XBOX Pro Mini 2 Wireless Controller.It is excellent.Intec also supplies a controller for PS2.I have not tried it, but if I buy another wireless controller for the PS2, I'm going to Intec.

The BEST Ps2 controller period.
I always liked the quality of Logitechs products and wanted the convenience of a wireless when playing my games in bed so I didn't hesitate to purchase this.Very good quality, feels good in the hands with just the right amount of weight to it. Sturdy and well made.some guys here complained about broken analog sticks but I think the problems were due to them just being a bit abusive with their stuff. These are very well made.I have an updated model slightly different from the picture.Logitech must have responded to the complaints of hands slipping off the analog sticks.The new controller has black rubberized sticks that are not concave.The only complaint I have is the placing of the select and start button so close to the analog sticks.Requires a little bit of dexterity in the fingers!Other than that this is a superb wireless.A

Great , but Some lost signals or broken buttons
When I first gotthis, I loved it. I've had it for about a year. So, I was playing a racing game, and I was holding the X to go and then suddenly, I slowed down. After that it still didn't work so good. It even happened in other games. I even tried changing the batteries. This is still a great controller because it only does it sometimes.

Not strong enough....
Mine has broken twice, left analog stick broken (always forces the movement down). Can't recommend without an insurance policy, the product is just too weak.

Update: Another one of these broke on me. The left analog stick gets "stuck" in the down position and there is a fine white dust eveident arount the base of the analog stick. I'd say stay away from this one, which is too bad because it is quite responsive and has good battery life. One other thing, the controller will quit responding if too close to a ringing 2.4 GHZ cordless phone. ... Read more

Intec (G6710) Dock It for PSP ... Read more

Reviews (5)

Only does one thing, and it doesn't even do THAT well...
(Just so you know, this is NOT a battery charger or docking station - it is just a piece of plastic to hold up your PSP at an angle).

It's a nice idea - put your PSP on a lightweight plastic clip so that you can watch your movies at a nice angle.The problem is, the angle is all wrong for watching videos.About the only two products that do this well currently are the plastic Logitech case ($19, protects the PSP perfectly, and gives a great viewing angle) or the upcoming Nyko Theater Experience Case ($79, includes small speakers, two headphone jacks, and an internal battery to give you about 3 times the battery life).

Go with one of the other available options.They're worth the money.

Not A Docking Station
Product title is misleading if you are expecting a docking station like those for PDAs or cameras. This just holds the PSP and you have to manually plug the adaptor in.

Also, like others mentioned, the angle is a little too low and the piece that holds it up will sometimes give out causing your PSP an unneeded hit on the back.

PSP Dock it
a decent stand which is comforting when enjoying multimedia such as music and videos and recharging your PSP but the low angle is a bit of of an anoyance

Not Worth The Money...
Pretty flimsy, basically all it does is hold it up. Also the angle is too far down....

it stinks
it is pointless and is not worth the ten bucks i bought it and sold it within a day. it is a piece of plastic meant to hold up your psp if this is what you want it is perfect if not it stinks!!!! ... Read more
