PS3 Eye Camera Mounting Clip

I needed this so I could have put my Playstation Eye on top of my TV for the PS3 Eye camera mainly for the better angle. I recently just bought the PS3 Move bundle. I didn't like putting it under the TV, because of the corded wire the Playstation Eye comes with, and it got in the way of my other things I put on the TV stand as well. I now have it sitting on top of my tv because of the clip, and the cord is behind the TV. Now my TV stand is more clear, neat, and organized.

The PS3 Move Clip is awesome. I opened the box, clipped on the Playstation Eye to it. I just then rested it onto top of my TV. It was that easy. It has a secure fit, and you don't have to worry about it slipping or falling off. No worries about damaging your TV as well. It has padding in which it will protect your TV. It will also protect your Playstation Eye from scratching as well because it fits right into the clip. As shown in the video clip my LCD didn't have a flat surface on top and even if it did have a flat surface, I'd still buy it so I wouldn't have to worry about my Playstation Eye falling off. Due to things like from gaming (vibrations). I have an Philips LCD which has the outer ring for the ambilight feature, and because of this I couldn't put the Playstation Eye on top of my TV. So I bought this clip for it, and it's simply perfect for it. Gaming will be more fun now, and not having to worry about interference. When the Playstation Eye was on the bottom of the TV, I didn't like the angle that much. Even though you can adjust the Playstation Eye, it didn't cover the entire range I wanted it to be in. Now that it's on top, it has a better view of me. Playstation Move will be fun to play with more now, and I can't wait for the other amazing games to come out such has Time Crisis: Razing Storm and Fight: Lights Out. I already own Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, and recently just bought Heavy Rain (from amazon's goldbox deal). I bought it mainly because it's PS3 Move compatible.

Purchased 2 of these and they both work great! One now sits on top of my older Sony KDS-60A3000 rear-projection LCD HDTV and the other sits on top of my Samsung 46C750 LCD HDTV. The clip adjusts nearly 180 degrees so each fits snugly while accommodating the Playstation Eye perfectly.

As a long-time owner of the PS Eye, I don't know why someone didn't come up with this sooner. Well worth the $12.99 purchase cost to easily and harmlessly mount the PS Eye on top of your flatscreen TV and to avoid the PS Eye slipping off its high perch.

I have a SONY 52-XBR9 and was worried that this would not fit correctly or would scratch the top of the TV, but fortunately there is padding in place of where it clips onto the tv. It does not clip on hard to where it would damage any part of the TV. It is snug and just sits in place. Also, the camera lens is still adjustable.

I would recommend this for anyone who is wanting to place their PS3 Eye on top of their LCD.

I didnt want to spring for the 40 dollar TV mount for the Xbox Kinect so bought this instead. It works absolutely fine and fits nicely for a Kinect. Note it of course does not lock it into place like the PS3 Eye, but provides a flat spot on the top of your TV where you can simply set the Kinect. If you have a solid TV you should be fine. If your TV wobbles some when you are jumping up and down from playing your Kinect then it might fall off. So just use a little tape and common sense and save yourself nearly 30 bucks by getting this instead of the official Xbox Kinect TV mount.

I've added an image showing me using it with my Kinect.

Street Fighter X Tekken

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $16.33
Today's Bonus: 18% Off

I have this game for both systems. The 360 version was bought here on Amazon.(See 360 review for verified stamp) And the PS3 version was bought 5 days before launch at a local mom and pop shop.

Online

Street Fighter X Tekken is a ton of fun. It really is. But it's cons are very difficult to overlook. First there is the situation with the online. In this day and age netcode is too important. The ability to play online against friends or even strangers from around the world is one of the reasons the genre has made a complete comeback. SFXT's netcode sacrifices sound in order to run smoothly. The kicker is that it still struggles to run smooth even when sacrificing this precious audio. If you rely on sound for hit and block confirms, just stay away.

***Online update*** As of 4/10/12, the sound issue has been addressed, but many have complained about increased input lag since the patch.

Local to online co-op a.k.a. couch co-op

Got a friend over and the 2 of you want to jump online and do some ranked matches together? If you bought this game on Xbox 360, it's not possible. I'm not sure about later, but right now as I write this review, the 360 version does not have couch co-op even though it's advertised to and is even in the manual. At first Capcom blamed Microsoft. Claiming that the 360 was not able to do it because of it's architecture. That was a blatant lie that they got called out on because MK9 among other games can do this very thing. Then they claimed the 360 version was never supposed to have the feature and that it being in the manual was a mistake. And now, at the time of me writing this, the latest "explanation" is that they were on a tight schedule and they made the "tough decision" to leave it out. Which means the whole time they intentionally kept quiet about it long enough to get our money and let us discover the mode was missing on our own.

Controls

Now I already had a SF4 Round 2 TE, but I was hyped about this game. So I picked up a SFXT Fightstick V.S.(which I'll also be doing a review for) and it works wonderfully. If you're an arcade stick user you've got nothing to worry about. But pad warriors beware. The game has a problem reading diagonal inputs from a pad. Quite often when attempting to jump towards or away from your opponent, you'll get a neutral jump instead. And you'll also get swept when you're trying to crouch block because it'll register as down instead of down/back. This is a serious problem and wouldn't have possibly made into the final retail build if the game had received any sort of Quality & Assurance testing. Taking builds to tournaments and having top players fiddle around with it on the flashy new arcade sticks you're trying to market does not substitute for Q&A.

Color Edit Mode

KoFXIII offers up an amazing color edit mode. SFXT does not. As of right now only 2 colors are available. The additional packs will supposedly be free. But even though they're on the disc, Capcom sees it fit to ration them out over the course of 2012 rather then just let us have our fun with the color options now. The majority will have likely moved on already by the time all colors are finally available.

Gems

I was in favor of the gems initially while everyone else was skeptical from the beginning. I saw them as a potentially fun mechanic if done right. Well, everyone else was right to be skeptic. When you've faced as many people as I have online using the auto block gem as a crutch to defend against what would have otherwise been solid mix-ups, it suddenly becomes clear to you why the community thought they were a bad idea, and why tournaments don't allow them at all. The gems take an already unbalanced game and makes it even more so.

Disc-Locked Content: The new meaning for DLC

If you thought what I said before was bad, it gets even worse here. Locked away on the disc that you've already spent your hard earned money on is a ton of content that Capcom intends to squeeze you for. There are 12 additional characters, costumes, more powerful gems, additional quick combos, and more colors for the edit mode. Here's an idea of just how bad Capcom intends to make you literally pay for your decision to get SFXT. In Europe the costumes have already went on sale. They are £0.79 each. Which is about $1 US. There are 38 characters readily available and 12 locked characters. That's 50 characters total. Each character has 2 alternate costumes. So if you want them all, that's $100 just for COSTUMES. That's not even counting how much it's going to cost you to unlock the additional characters. You're already paying more for locked content than you did for the purchase of the game initially.

Engine

The good: The Tekken characters utilize ground bounces. And the Street Fighter characters utilize wall bounces. If you pick one of each, you get the best of both worlds. The Tekken characters surprisingly fit right in. Some of them fight a lot like their Tekken versions(Kazuya), and some fight nothing like their Tekken versions(Heihachi). But Capcom did a wonderful job of capturing the essence and character of the Tekken cast.

The bad: Damage scaling on combos is so severe, it's as if you're penalized for getting good at the game. It's too easy for non stick users to accidentally trigger quick combos, and there is no way to turn this off. "Grey Health" regenerates too fast. That combined with the heavy damage scaling results in most ranked matches ending in a Time Over. And Pandora is an unusable mechanic. It's so weak, no one dares to even bother with it. If you trigger Pandora during a match, there's a 95%+ chance that you're going to lose because of it. Scarily, there are even more problems than what I've named. I just listed a handful.

Graphics

This game looks great! Everything is in the SF4 art style, but the characters have been touched up a bit. And characters that had to be built from the ground up like all of the Tekken characters, and some from the SF side like Poison, Hugo, Rolento, etc. look amazing. The stages all look great too.

Overall

A game backed up with lies and shady business practices from it's publisher isn't something that I can honestly recommend. It's a great fighter at it's very core, but purchasing it will just encourage Capcom to continue treating their consumer/fanbase like they're stupid. SFXT is a ridiculous cash grab masquerading as a fighting game. I can't recommend someone buy half of a game for $60 and then the rest of it, which is locked ON THE DISC for over $100. They didn't have time to make sure the 360 version had couch co-op. They didn't have time to make sure the online was solid for either console. They didn't even have time to make sure pad players could enjoy the game. But they did however have time to make content to lock away on the disc. In short, do not buy this game.

If you thought to have the next VS series from Capcom, don't go too far into a purchase with this game. Capcom DLC and contents are already in the disc but you won't be able to "BUY" these items until "FALL" 2012 and later on. The contents in the game will cost you more than the current price of this game. Keep playing your old Capcom games if your a fan and wait till December or next year when this game is either complete with all the DLC unlocked as a purchase or when its a $15 steal on a Amazon deal.

Look good? Well guess what, they're all already programmed onto the disc. If you go on the PSN and "purchase" the "downloadable content" you're not really getting anything, it just unlocks what you already own. I'm not sure why Capcon keeps doing this to the fans, but it has to stop. DLC's original purpose was prolong the lifespan of games, but instead Capcon is using it to extort money from the fans.

To make matters worse, the inevitable, "Street Fighter X Tekken Plus Ultra Extended Edition" with more characters and DLC will be out by the end of the year. There's another reason to avoid this game. I warned people about Marvel Vs Capcon 3 and no one listened to me. I encourage you to listen now and not buy this. If Capcon's game's stop selling, so will the shady business practices.

Iumak gives this one a 0/10.

Although Street Fighter X Tekken is a good fighting game, this game has on excused for forcing players having to pay DCL for 12 characters that are already on the disc.

Want Street Fighter X Tekken Discount?

I've owned almost every Capcom fighting game there is (three versions of SF II, MvC 1-3, Darkstalkers, Xmen:COTM, Marvel Super Heroes, Street Fighter Alpha 1-3, Power Stone (2), Street Fighter EX, SNK v Capcom 2, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike, Super and Regular Street Fighter IV, Tatsunoko v Capcom, Rival Schools, Project Justice, etc.) and I would have bought this game but paying $60 for a game with only 50% new character models (the rest being from street fighter IV) and still having to pay extra for 12 characters that are already completed is absurd. I've seen them lose tons of long-time customers like me in the last couple of months (starting with Jill Valentine and Shuma Gorath and continuing through Super SF IV: Arcade Edition-the epitome of laziness). If they were going to lock characters for a later date and charge extra for it, then they should release the game at a reduced price. At least you can buy it used. The industry is moving in a direction where they plan to make more money off DLC with every game and the next gen systems might not even allow you to use used games (which would also basically bankrupt gamestop and decrease one of the more competitive pricers in the industry which would allow Best Buy and Amazon to charge higher prices for games). I think giving feedback on as many forums as possible to voice that people are already sick of DLC and probably won't even buy a system that requires you to purchase new games.

Paying $5-10 for a pair of new fighters is ridiculous and so is constantly having to purchase stuff to get a complete game. I wouldn't even mind as much if they had just charged $70-80 for the game and included all the unlockables so that at least I could get the entire game if I bought it used, but they want to make us buy a new copy to increase profits while only making half a new game. What they've actually done is decrease their profits, because tons of people are waiting to buy used copies anyway or avoiding the game altogether specifically because they do these little stunts and now we can't trust Capcom. Why not release a game in its entirety and instead of adding on to it, when its released you could start working on its sequel with things that could really differentiate it from the former title (for instance MVC 2 had tons of new characters and allowed 3v3 which justified its existence)? It could warrant a higher price tag and would would get crowds excited for a release like we were with SF IV instead of giving us fatigue like with Super SF IV: Arcade Edition.

Power Stand Charger for PS3

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus:

I was really excited for this charger. Finally something different! It looks nice, leaves the chargers on display when not in use which is nice. This product is solid and something different. In my experience most of the PS3 chargers don't know when to quit. They say you can leave on the charger and it won't harm your controller but it's not true. Look at the controller, it attempts to keep charging and continues to blink. This charger is intelligent enough to stop. If you're concerned this charger also gives the option to just store the charger on the base in display mode. Honestly, this charger is the best one going.

My previous charger was the energizer PS3 stand which turned out to be rubbish. Half the time I would put dead controllers on it, it would immediately turn green and stop charging causing me to play the on-again/off-again game. This never happens with this controller.

It's no surprise this is THE ONLY charger that is officially a "licensed PS3 charger" by Sony.

My only complaint is that I wish Power-A made this exact design with 4 PS Move controllers as a charging option (not the usual one move, one navigation. Most of us have two Move controllers which makes those designs poorly thought-out.)

Edit: My original review was only 3 stars because I thought the spring may have been defective. It was not defective. The UPS guy left it outside where it sat for 8+ hours in near 0 degree temperature and it took a few minutes to "thaw" and work quickly. While frozen it appeared like the spring was extremely slow. It's not, it was just frozen.

I have to say this is a great addition to our PS3!

This charger is a dual charger but can also be used to charge just one controller.

It charges pretty quickly. Also, if you have multiple controllers you can charge 2 with this charger and plug the others into the

PS3.

It is easy to put the controllers in and get them out.

There is a blue light that lights up on the side that the controller is charging in.

We have an upgraded controller and the light on that controller also lights up when charging in it.

Its very easy to keep controllers charged with this and even though ours is hidden in a cabinetthe design of it is not

horrible to look at!

If your like me your controllers are never left in the same place, and I always forget to plug them in until I actually need one. After purchasing this charger stand I automatically put the controllers on this to charge when I am not using them. External power is a plus so they can charge whenever. There are two lights on this stand the blink when charged or stay solid when fully charged.

Good quality and easy to attach, just push controller down on bottom piece that slides down and drop in, the piece will push the controllers charging port up in contact with the charger. Very easy to use and keeps the controller in one spot!

TRITTON 720+ 7.1 Surround Headset for Xbox 360 and PS3

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $149.99
Sale Price: $144.98
Today's Bonus: 3% Off

First let me say that this is only my second headset, the other is the TB X12 which I highly recommend too.

Quality built

8/10

My TB X12 feel more resistant to falls and everything. I'd say these are solid, and since I am the kind of guy who takes care of his things and treat them nicely I am sure I won't have any problems with these. Now, if you are the kind of person who throws their stuff like it is garbage then you are probably going to break them in less than a year. ADVANTAGE X12 BUT TRITTONS LOOK WAY SEXIER.

I like how they look but I'd love them even more if they were black as the Warheads (why do them white when the Xbox and PS3 are black??)

Sound Quality

9/10

At first it was a bit hard to hear footsteps (in CoD and Halo) thanks to the high bass and high environmentt sound (explosions sound great), but after a few days I got used to it and started to hear the footsteps, and with the surround sound I could tell where the enemies were, much better than the X12, ADVANTAGE TRITTON

Note: YES, there is a buzzing noise but seriously I am kind of picky and somewhat hard to satisfy but IMO this ISN'T a big problem, once the game starts you won't notice it.

Comfort

9/10

If you have a big head you may want to look elsewhere, I have a slightly bigger head than the average person and I had to fully extend them to fit me. For me the comfort is great, feels good. ADVANTAGE TRITTON

Mic

9/10

A bit sensitive, it does register my breathing but all you have to do is twist the mic a little and put it facing your chin and the breathing is gone. If they had added that cover they put on mics I would have give them 10/10. ADVANTAGE X12

Some other things

It is great that it comes with 2 cables for the Xbox controller, in case one fails.

Hearing yourself in this... it is a bit loud, specially if you laugh, not a big problem since you can turn it off.

After getting used to the headset I gotta say I am pretty happy with it and I highly recommend them. If you have the money go for it, this is the best you can get under $150.

This review might be a little disorganized but I'll just tell you guy's my likes and dislikes.

I've tried out a variety of different gaming headphones for the last two years. Just with Tritton and Turtle Beach. I'm a serious gamer. I game A LOT. Before I had these, I had the Turtle Beach PX5. They're wireless which is nice but also sucks. I had rechargeable batteries but it seemed like during a game of Search and Destroy in Modern Warfare 3 or in Gears of War 3, I'd have to replace my batteries. It sucked. I had those for about 6 months. So I looked for a pair of nice, wired gaming headphones that I wouldn't have to worry about changing batteries all the time. And that's exactly what I found.

The sound on the Tritton 720+ is great. It's not as good as the PX5, but you get what you pay for. I LOVE the bass in these. It helps add effect to when you're playing. The explosions rumble, or when your playing Forza Horizon, the music sounds great along with the car sounds and effects too. I find it hard at times to hear people who are talking on Xbox Live. The sound that comes out of the chat sounds a little cheap for when people talk. I also find the mic to be a little too sensitive. If you make a little sound, people can hear it. I also have a tower fan going next to me to keep me cool and I keep it on low but yet from about 3 feet away it still picks it up. I had no problem with my Turtle Beaches when I had my fan going.

The comfort for these are great. I wear glasses so wearing my Turtle Beaches after an hour or so started to hurt the side of my head from the Beaches pushing my glasses. I wore them for 5 hours + and had no problems with any discomfort, but I do feel almost as if its made for a smaller head. I wear about a 7 1/8 hat size and these fit me perfectly. The adjustments on these seem to not stay in place at times. When I adjust it on my head and wear them, I really don't have this problem. But if you take them off, the weight from each side seems to weigh down the adjustments and I always find my self having to readjust them.

Overall, I really do love the headphones but there are some minor flaws. Sound is great. Comfort is amazing and I would still recommend these to people. I would like to see these to be a bit cheaper.

UPDATE 12-22-12:

I still love this headset but a few days ago, the right ear went out. I've only had it for 6 weeks, which is pathetic considering I had numerous pairs of other gaming headsets and had no problems with any other headset. I do take really good care of my gear, especially if I'm dropping $150+ on a gaming headset. To me, it's just a designer flaw. The adjustable volume piece will fall down from the weight of it, pushing/ tearing the cord that connects to your headset and it slowly did that with my headset. I still think this headset is great but now I'm highly disappointed because of what causes this to happen. I would wait to buy this headset to see if they fix this problem. I've never tried them, but around Christmas I'm going to be buying the Astro A40s because I've heard a lot of good things about them.

If you've xbox 360, dont buy coz, Xbox one wont support the current headphones,(news that microsoft is working on adapter,thumbs down).

For PS3,its best I've used. No buzzing issue for PS3 USB [dont use other usb for charging while using headphone]. perfect investment for next 8-10yrs console surround gaming.

Surround Sound brings the game/movie to real life. not much diffrnce b/w 5.1 and 7.1 surround 9/10,

Felt Rear channel experience is not as good as front & side channel.

Heard Astro A40s are better,but costly and bad customer service.

Guitar Hero Smash Hits

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $24.70
Today's Bonus: 38% Off

If you are like me and got in to the Guitar Hero franchise only recently, then this is a game you should definitely get. It gives you a chance to play some of the songs from the older games that you missed with the added bonus of being able to go at those with the whole band.

However, if you have played these songs before, there probably isn't enough to justify buying this. The only truly new features is the aforemented full band play on these songs and the expert+ feature on drums that allows for double-bass pedal playing. This is really cool to be sure, but hardly enough to justify paying for a whole new game with songs that you have experienced before. It does seem that the songs MAY have been amped up a little in difficulty and any game that includes "Play With Me" by Extreme as a song to play with is certainly not ALL bad.

With all that being said, the song list is a little light on songs that I would consider to be truly "smash hits". If you are a vet of the franchise and are considering this I would wait for a price drop. If you jumped in a little before World Tour, I would likewise wait for the price drop. Otherwise, if your first step in was for World Tour, this would make an excellent addition to your library.......especially if you sprung for the entire set. In the end, the question you have to ask yourself is "How much do I love Guitar Hero?" Chances are, if you are reading reviews to help you decide, then you should hold off.

Click Here to Read More Reviews >>

...but the dearth of reviews should tell you all you need to know about online play.

The Good:

The song selection is pretty strong. I don't really know why someone would say there are only "3 or 4 good songs." I'll admit that my tastes aren't always geared to the actual songs on the game, but it's fun to play nonetheless. My only gripe is that the selection of songs from Guitar Hero 3 is way too large. GH:3 was a PS3 game, not a PS2 game. Using up five tracks for this seems like overkill and filler I hate doubling my library of songs.

I like the new note charts. "TTFAF" expert becomes infinitely more playable on the GH:WT guitars due to the tap/slider feature in the intro (it was pretty tough to hit that first note with your elbow in GH:3). Some songs feel awkward, though; is there really any reason that "Take It Off" by The Donnas should rate so highly? The difficulty is incredibly artificial.

The trophies are fun, but really, really difficult (100% the mosh on "Raining Blood"? Come on now).

The Bad

Aesthetically, this game is really, really tired. Little effort was put into sprucing up the graphics, and the characters are the same stock losers as always (OK Lars Umlaut is pretty cool). There are no guests.

The online play is an utter joke. I guess this is what happens when an idiot company runs their franchise (and, probably, the entire genre) into the ground by releasing 100 games in a year. It's not like sales for this one have been off the charts, but again, that's no surprise (even Activision sees the writing on the wall why else would they give away their next sales nightmare, "GH:VH"?). You'll be lucky if you find anyone online. Heck, even when I bought the game, there was no one online.

So, all in all, if you're a fan, and you haven't played these songs, you'll like the game. It's not great, but it's still fun.

Want Guitar Hero Smash Hits Discount?

Yet another gaming classic in my book that I recollected recently. I very much enjoy the Guitar Hero titles, as well as even a few of the Rock Band titles, but I always enjoyed Guitar Hero a little more. This one takes a bunch of the most favorite songs from between Guitar Hero 1 and World Tour and combines them together, and the majority of those chosen are great songs! There were some songs in some of the scattered Guitar Heroes before that weren't all that good or, in the case of some select songs on World Tour, make you think wtf were they thinking putting these songs on here. Most of the songs in Guitar Hero games are pretty awesome though, and this one is a collection of many of the greats! If perhaps you have never played this installment of Guitar Hero or are maybe new to Guitar Hero, this is a great one to start out playing...though if you're looking to get the drums and such too, World Tour. Fun stuff.

I really enjoy this headset even though it is very basic. It's great that you can attach the ring around your neck which also has a mic at the end of the band. The mic picks up my voice really well but also picks up anything else in the room. The ear piece fits perfectly in my ear but I've noticed that it projects the volume a little loud and because it doesn't have a volume control button, this can be problematic. The USB cord is over 13 feet long so i can move all around the room with it still being on. What i dont like about the headset is that it is very basic. No mute button, which is a must for most gaming headsets, same with a volume control. Last gripe i have is that i noticed when testing my voice through the PS3 accessory control setup is that it sounds a beeping noise i guess to acknowledge that it is on. With two of my friends that i ave tested it with, they say that it is very faint but still, why would it do that? I got this on sale for $20 dollars and i'm really pleased with it. According to my friends, they say my voice sounds clear as day and same with the receiving end.

Pros:

great cord length

Great design

comfortable

Cons:

Very basicno mute button, volume control

could put padding on the end of the neck ring

Just got this item and I have to say, I was anticipating something that was a little more then what I got. Now don't get me wrong, this is a good item, but I thought it would help eliminate the outside noise that you can hear all too well when using a regular Bluetooth headset. Having got this little gripe out of the way, let's break down the item.

Pros

-----

1. Comfort-I give this a solid 4 stars for comfort. Only the very ends of the Headset, where the mic is located, actually have any force against the neck. Put one hand on top of the other and set them in your lap, that about how much pressure you would feel, so this is very comfortable. As for the ear piece, it's light and while it looks like it would be bulky or awkward, it was obviously well designed. I barely feel it in my ear, yet it gives clear sound at a good volume level. And even with the piece in my ear, I can clearly hear someone talking to me out of that same ear.

2. Clarity -Here I have to break this down into two sections. First is the clarity of the mic. Having done a quick initial test recording of normal speech, as well as whispering, it was easy to hear my voice in each case. However, if you mumble your words or don't pronounce them too clearly, it could be a bit difficult for your team to hear the correct words. I give the mic 3 stars. (side note){Yes, I said recording. I plugged the headset into my computer first, just to see if it would work, and it functioned perfectly.}

-For the earpiece, clarity is still pretty decent. Listening to me own voice is fine, but if your an audiophile, you wouldn't want to listen to music with this. (If your an audiophile and you like listening to music with this earpiece, your not an audiophile at all, stop lying to yourself.) For plain ol' comm use, I give this 3.5 stars.

3. Ease of Use -The cord is just as advertised. In a word, massive. I could walk almost across my living room and forget about the wire most of the way, till it tugged the USB out of the port. And even using the headset with my computer, it was a simple PlugandPlay. Nothing to worry about later, no disks to lose, just sweet, sweet gaming. 4 stars.

Cons

----

1. Outside Noise -Now as I noted before, this thing does still pick up some ambient sounds. Don't expect to be able to play and only ever have your voice be heard over the comm system. That being said, I bought the headset hoping for no outside sound being picked up, so I'm kinda disappointed. Not enough to send this back, but be aware of the limitations of something that, considering what a real throat mic goes for, can be considered cheap.

2. Cord -Honestly, I first unwound the cord, and then had to keep unwinding. I took for granted just how long this thing really is, use a tape measure to see how far 13 ft really is, if you don't already know. Your going to want some way to keep the cord in check, even while your using it. A rubber band or even the twist-tie that it comes packaged with should work just fine, though I recommend a CableCuff myself. I use the small ones for most of my small electronics wires, they work like a charm with just about everything, this monster cord included. The real reason I consider so much cord to be con is because they don't give a good way to keep it out of your way. Unless your sitting near a wall or something, there's a good chance someone could trip over the cord and either yank the headset off your neck, or even damage the cord. A little care is more then enough to combat this problem though, so it's not a major pain in the neck. (Joke intended)

Overview

----

The long cord is a mixed blessing, and this is a cheap member if it's product family. That being said, it's still a good buy, and it doesn't need constant charging like a well-used Bluetooth will. Even if I don't always use this, it's a good backup for if my Bluetooth fails, or if I need to charge the wireless headset. A solid buy if your looking for a good gaming mic.

3.5 stars overall.

This came fast and was a birthday gift for my son. It took a little while to get it set up, and all you can hear in the headphones is the talking, you will have to play the background sound/music through your regular speakers.

One day he got up and touched it and due to dry winter weather he shocked it and it was fried after that. So be careful with this when you go to touch it, Touch something else first.

LEGO Star Wars III The Clone Wars

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $14.95
Today's Bonus: 25% Off

My children are 4 and 6 and LOVE playing the previous Star Wars lego game (the complete series one). However they often argue about which direction to go. I loved the idea that this new game would do split screen and thought, HA! no more arguing! For the most part that's true, other than they now argue over who gets to be the jedi character (but once they unlock everything for freeplay, I assume then they can both be the same jedi as in the previous game).

The issue that I really have with this new game is two fold.

1. It is MUCH more complex than the previous games. The puzzles are harder to solve, there are many more actions that can be performed and it requires more fine motor skills (like targeting your light saber when you throw it).

2. There is a lot more happening on the screen at many times, it's distracting. In fact at times it's hard to find 'your guy' or the other guys in your party because there may be 200 attacking battle droids on the screen with you.

I had to resort to googling to figure out how to finish the R2 vs evil R2 level.

Oh that reminds me, another complaint.... some of the levels are WAY TOO LONG. I like to limit the amount of time my kids play PS3 to about an hour long session a couple of times a week. Some of the levels I've seen take WAY longer than that unless you've done it before and make a beeline to complete the level. I wanted to tell the kids, OK that's enough TV, time to turn off the game, but then they lose all progress and would have to start over the next time.

This is a new game to everyone here, so I'm sure given time, the kids will adapt to the new controls and it will all work out, but these are my initial impressions anyway. I would buy it again, but I agree with other reviewers that say it's a step forward in graphics, but a step backwards in terms of actual game play.

This LEGO video game franchise is like the James Bond 007 movies --even though some aspects get repeated again and again, it's still a ton of fun for many people. I haven't even come close to getting annoyed with the LEGO formula, so "LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars" has been a very enjoyable experience for me. Gamers who are tired of this series might want to sit this one out, because aside from sharper graphics and new strategy-style mode, there's not much new to check out. As for the rest of us, I think you can get into this one just as much as the other LEGO games.

GRAPHICS AND AUDIO

---"LEGO Star Wars III" probably looks better than any other LEGO game to date, especially with the character animation and lighting effects. Lightsaber combat looks so exciting, whereas previous "LEGO Star Wars" games had kinda clunky action. There's a lot more background action going on, the levels have a more epic scope, and it all runs very smooth. Keep in mind, though, that the series has started to make the levels look less like LEGO blocks, and more like realistic graphics. In other words, it's not all made of LEGOs, just a good chunk of it. The trend seems to be realistic worlds, LEGO-style characters. Personally, I'm okay with that. The music is very good in this game, and avoids recycling John Williams' music from the 6 feature films. In fact, I find "The Clone Wars" music to be enjoyable to listen to outside of the show or game. The sound effects are the typically-strong quality since they're from the "Star Wars" universe. Aside from that, this is a great-looking and great-sounding LEGO game.

STORY

---If you're looking to play these LEGO games for the story, you're going to be disappointed. The cutscenes are meant to move things along at a rapid, comedic pace. I'm okay with the quick slapstick approach, because trying to treat these stories seriously has always made for awkward moments in previous games. I can remember how the earlier "Star Wars" tried to make character deaths seem sad, and it came off more weird than dramatic. One thing I will caution is that because these 18 levels (3 chapters) are based on random episodes from a TV show, it can feel a little disjointed when a few villains reappear in more than 1 chapter. But again, we're talking about a LEGO game, so whatever.

CHARACTERS

---Good news, there are a ton of different Jedi, evil Sith, robots, bounty hunters, and other bizarre aliens to use. The bad news, there are way too many different Clone troopers that look very similar, and it can be very confusing. There are different abilities with the guns (rockets, machine guns) and special functions (some throw grenades, some command squadrons in the strategy-style levels), but I can't tell you which trooper is who without switching over and trying them out. It's not a big deal with the Story Mode, because each levels has a few specific characters. But in Free Play Mode or in the Hub, when you're free to explore and choose from dozens of characters to find the secrets, it's a bit of a mess. After a while, you might learn to recognize the different troopers, but I still struggle with it. Thankfully, though, each character is very fun to use. Get past the learning curve with the troopers, and you'll be alright.

LEVELS

---These levels aren't any more fun or less fun than any other "LEGO Star Wars" game. You still smash stuff to pick up bolts to buy things, build weird LEGO contraptions to advance in the levels, have infinite lives, face a few bosses, and use a variety of characters to explore and combat. The only level that really annoyed me was a cave level on Geonosis, where the only source of light are the Jedi lightsabers and Clone trooper flashlights. It's graphically-impressive, but disorienting. There are a couple of major differences to the "LEGO Star Wars" formula. In "The Clone Wars", there is less of an emphasis on spaceship combat. In fact, most of these spaceship sequences have very simple combat, with you eventually landing your ship to continue on foot. The other major addition to this game are the Assault levels. When you play Story Mode, there are a couple levels where "The Clone Wars" becomes a strategy game. You'll have to collect bolts, build you own bases, and take out the enemy. It sounds a bit weird, but there's actually some nice depth to it. Certain enemy building can only be destroyed by certain kinds of vehicles. For example, a Silver building requires a powerful cannon or rocket, whereas a Gold building can only be destroyed by rapid-fire weapons. Or you could work your way to a Torpedo bay, so that you can destroy a base's energy core and wipe it all out. Then again, if they have a Shield Generator, you'll have to send some troop squadrons in because vehicles can't breakthrough. You see how deep this can get? The Story levels do a decent job of teaching you how to play. Unfortunately, the standalone Assault missions have a time limit. It'd be nice if players could take their time with this mode, rather than being forced to rush everything. However, Assault is such a good addition to this LEGO game, I hope someone chooses to expand on this in a future video game.

THE HUB

---The Hub is the areas where you just goof around and find some secrets before choosing your level. Thankfully, this game doesn't use the system used in "LEGO Indiana Jones 2", where players had to spend more time in The Hub than the actual levels. However, The Hub in "LEGO Star Wars III" is a lot more complex than in any of the previous "LEGO Star Wars" games. When you start, you'll be aboard a Republic battleship with a couple corridors you can't access yet. Eventually you'll find The Hub is quite large with a half-dozen rooms, a few of them quite large. Each room has its own computer where you access the main menu to pick your level, so that's not a big deal. Where things get tricky is deal with the Separatist content. In order to get those characters and those secret levels, you have to fly a ship out of the Republic ship and the nearby Separatist spaceship. You can't even play the Assault game mode as the Separatists unless you're curious enough to find this other spaceship. In other words, you have a pretty big Hub when you start, and there's a whole 2nd Hub waiting for you to unlock the other 50% of the characters, ships, and secrets. It's not as maddening as "LEGO Indy 2", but it's still a little overkill. Thankfully, there are computer stations all around the Hubs so that you can just play the Missions and Assault mode if you want to. Also, you can use these computers stations to choose any character you've purchased at any time, so that you don't have to fly to one spaceship to bring an evil character to the good guys' spaceship, and vice versa. It might be exploration-heavy, but The Hubs will reward your patience.

HOW DOES THIS COMPARE TO OTHER LEGO GAMES?

---This is a tough question, because your fondness for "Star Wars" is just as important as your fondness for LEGO games. I personally like all of these games (even "LEGO Indiana Jones 2"). I think fans of the previous two "Star Wars" games will love this, even if they're not familiar with the TV show. I hope gamers who are tired of the LEGO franchise give this one a try, just so that they can see the improved presentation and try the new Assault mode. But I'm not nearly tired of this LEGO franchise, because LucasArts and Travelers Tales put so much enthusiasm in treating their projects with respect ("LEGO Indy 2" was a flawed experiment) that it's hard not to feel like a kid playing with a immense toy set that comes to life. It's nice to feel like a kid once in a while.

I have been playing video games for over 30 years. I could not get my wife remotely interested in them. That all changed with the Lego games. Now she is the one that wants to play and these games are meant for dual playing. I think it is a lot more fun solving the levels with someone now. It seems lonely to play by myself. I think I can get her interested in Little Big Planet too because everyting in kind of warm and fuzzy. I love the fact that you do not die and have to start over in the Lego games. I also like the hints that you get while you are playing. This game is one of the best of the bunch. My only complaint is that the game froze on me twice. Both times in the same place, fighting a robot. Luckily I can just skip that episode but I do hope they get a patch out for it.

I expected this game to be like all of the other Lego games in the franchise, and it is mostly, but there are some added things.

It is more like Lego Indiana Jones 2 where there isn't really a linear way to choose levels. They're more like on a map. The same goes for 'buying' characters and vehicles and things like that. You run into them when you need to use them and purchase them like that.

One thing that, for me, takes some getting used to is some of the levels are big battles that you fight. It's much more different than I ever expected. I'm not sure I like those levels, but take it or leave it.

This game is harder for my 6 year old and 4 year old to play, but they're getting better and better at video games, and since they're used to the other Lego games, they are familiar with what to do.

My 8yo son and I have played through all of the Star Wars Lego games and all of the other franchises 100% (except for Lego Harry Potter). This game feels like the Clone Wars (visually exciting but none of the real charm of the original). Gameplay is your standard lego fare (why change an already great system afterall) and this new title is alot more action packed than the original. However it seems there are less puzzles and less building....this has been replaced by blowing things up using awesome vehicles and weapons. Cut scenes are longer and not quite as cute but some are still hilarious. There are a few castle defense and attack levels where you get to call in all of the awesome vehicles and clones and this is where the game really shines. A separate title expanding on this idea would be most welcome and suits this theme perfectly. The vehicle levels in space are sub par however. Some of the levels are not as quite intuitive as in the past and will leaving you scratching your head for awhile. Overall 8/10. If you loved the original this is still a great game to enjoy, but lets face it the original complete saga was epic and perfect in everyway and this cannot measure up entirely.

Playstation 3 250GB System - Slim (Redesign)

Customer Ratings:
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: $232.95
Today's Bonus:

Of course it can play video games and that should be its primary function. It does this well. The online Playstation store makes it easy to browse titles and even better, download free demos. This model (250 GB Slim redesign) comes with enough stock memory to last you a good while, whether you're storing games, music, or movies. I personally like the sliding cover over a retractable disc tray. It eases the placement of the discs so I don't feel like I have to be as delicate, not to mention it's easy to see any dust accumulation and/or access the laser for cleaning. And I don't know that there's problems with the disc tray, but the less moving parts the better. You can hear some of the disc reading noises, but it's usually short lived and not really bothersome anyways. I've had it running night after night, sometimes for 6 hours continuous and it's not getting hot at all...just a slight warmth.

I also now use it to stream Netflix, through which we watch all kinds of TV shows and movies. I would recommend an HDMI cable though, assuming you have a TV capable of supporting it. It makes a noticeable difference in the resolution. The settings can usually be used on default and are fairly intuitive, but there's a wealth of things you can change or tweak to suit your needs. For example I have my HDMI cable running to my TV, but also have the RG cables running to my PA mixer for even bigger sound. But to allow this you have to allow it to split audio outputs first.

There's probably an overabundance of other reviews about its usage, so I'll just close with a glowing recommendation. I played my PS2 for over a decade (still running btw, but obviously no longer in use). This system blows it away. With the PS4 coming out later this year, you might be wary of getting an "outdated" system. If you haven't had this generation system yet, I'd say now is the perfect time to get one. There's literally years worth of games to choose from, many of which are under $20 brand new. And don't expect developers to abandon the PS3 for at least 3-5 more years, and even then, you probably couldn't play everything that's already been released (my Amazon wishlist has over 100 games). So far I've bought one game used and 4 games new, yet the total spent was only about $60...or about as much as a new release game.

One other note: I bought mine used. It showed absolutely no signs of wear, but it was missing 2 of the 4 rubber feet on the bottom. I haven't missed them. Provided you have some level of trust with the seller, I'd say go ahead and buy used if you see a good deal that clearly specifies what's included. They're seemingly sturdy systems. Although I wouldn't get one of the older models, especially a "fat", as those ran hot and tended to have YLOD problems. That being said, the brand new systems are hardly a ripoff either, especially if you're getting a bundle.

I've had it for a few months now and I've only found one flaw. It can be pretty loud, the fan, the discs loading. You insert the discs manually instead of the auto ejector in the older models, so you don't get any scratches. Much easier to fix and clean than the old slim.

This game is fun. It's not awful but it's not great either. I think kids would enjoy this game. I enjoyed that it has many of the characters from the show with strong performances from all the voice actors. I also liked that it captures the same humor that makes the tv show good family fun. My biggest disappointment was with the graphics which make a PS3 game look like something made for the wii. Far too often the camera view is too far from the action. This game would be so much better if you could be real close to the action. Another disappointment was that the game was too short. The game play is very similar to the Lego Star Wars game but with less content. If you're going to get the PS3 version I would recommend renting instead of buying or wait until the price drops below $30. Or get the PC version instead.

When I read the first review here I decided not to purchase the game even though my son (13 years old) had downloaded the demo and loved it. However, I did decide to rent it and my son loves it. When I asked him what he likes his reply was "everything." When pressed to give specific examples he replied that he likes that you can play as so many different characters, and that missions take place between Season 1 and 2 of the show so things are new. I know he likes the fact that in the game he can use his points to purchase "hats and masks" and change his character's look. This can get quite humorous when the original slender bodies are topped by some outrageous looking hats, helmets and masks. It does make it easy to spot your character though!

He's been playing this for the last three days so I know he likes it. How does this game compare to other Star War games he has played? He played "The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels" for about 20 minutes before he announced to me that I could return it to the rental store. Thank goodness I didn't buy that. He really likes the "Lego Star Wars" games and he played them a lot when we first bought them a couple years ago--but at 13 he has kinda outgrown those versions and finds "Clone Wars: Republic Heroes" better. This game is more advanced that Lego Star Wars.

I also read a review that was criticial of the small size of the characters, but for us this hasn't been an issue. He's been playing this on a 40-inch LCD screen, so perhaps at half the size this could become an issue.

Bottom line: This is a fun game with an interesting story line and good graphics.

Look, folks....here's the deal. I bought this game because my son (3) likes to both play and watch me play the PS3 and Wii. I bought this for the PS3 and we play it co-op.

If you're anywhere close to being an adult (or teenager...or maybe even 10), then this game will likely be way too easy and boring for you. There are tons of checkpoints on each level, and if you die, you just respawn at the checkpoint (seriously...you can't go 10 seconds without going over the next checkpoint).

You play most of the levels as Jedi, but there are a number of Clone Trooper levels, too (which I think are more fun). Each level is fairly short, so it's like bite sized Star Wars. My son has no trouble playing on the normal levels, but he wouldn't be able to pass the boss levels on his own. I had to coach him through some of the controls, but he can blast and slice his way through droids with no problem.

Without rehashing what other reviewers have said, just know what you're buying. I'm giving this game 4 stars because FOR WHAT I BOUGHT IT FOR (playing co-op with my 3 year old), it's a great game. No consequences if you die, easy and it's Star Wars. If you're looking for some in-depth, engaging experience, look elsewhere.

Well the demo was shockingly bad.

The reviews are giving the full game between 3/10 to 5/10.

The good

-It Star Wars

-They have the voice Actors

-The sound is good.

The amazing bad

-Awful Controls

-Shoot with the R stick? Really? Its like Smash TV in the 80's.

-It looks like a ps1 game played on the ps2 while looking through your own tears.

-Jedi can't die, they come back to life faster then Optimus Prime.

-Take over droids by stabbing them? Had that even worked on anything?

Do you want even the smallest chance that your kids will stab something to control it.

-Yoda tells you how to do everything, and I mean everything, short of up is up and down isn't up.

The Rant

Where is Battlefront 3 ?

Where is Rogue Squadron X ?

Where is the originality ?

Why can't any star wars game by good? Why? Whats so difficult?

A starwars fps, flight sim or RPG that you don't have to play online is badly needed.

Verdict

2/10 for creating a crappy game and disapointing us all, again.

At first I thought this did not work for the older models (Playstation/PSX) but it definitely works great for the PS2. The PSX still uses the old coaxial hookup that connects to your cable TV line. However, on closer inspection I discovered that this cable was not the problem... my PSX console's AV output plug is loose. I jiggled it and got it to work fine with this connector. (It's old and I've moved about nine times since I bought the PSX so it's not quite perfect anymore.) So it is confirmed: it DOES work for PSX and PS2.

Also, the cables are pretty good quality. Nice and thick. The RCA connectors are a little thicker than usual though so for some applications you might need to get a little bit creative or use a little extra force to get it to plug in snugly. I have seen better cables, but they are selling for two or three times the price of this unit, so it's a great value.

Want Playstation/PS2/PSX AV to RCA Cable Discount?

These component cables are just what I wanted. They're well made and do what they're supposed to: allow me to play PS2 on my old TV. Would definitely purchase again for any other electronic cable needs I may have.
