OK.. So I only gave it 4 stars because they didn't have 6 and nothing is absolutely perfect. Although.. This comes VERY close.
The material is incredibly durable and colorfast. My son was recovering from surgery and put a rather ridiculous amount of time into his PS3. That being said this was on there the whole time and has stood up better than expected.
Thanks for an awesome product..
Would I recommend it.. ABSOFREAKINLUTELY.

You can tell this cable isn't like some of the other cheap cables that are sold on Amazon. The cable is a bit more heavier than other cables and significantly thicker. Out of the box, these work flawlessly without any noise or distortion. Nuff said.

Ultimate Combo Pack: UNCHARTED Greatest Hits Dual Pack & DUALSHOCK3 wireless controller
List Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $55.16

This combo pack is amazing, this Includes Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Greatest Hits and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Game of the Year Edition which includes free dlcs and a metallic blue DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller. The Dual Pack and PS3 controller alone are around $40 each.
I'm not fan of shooters but I wanted to play through the first two Uncharted games before I consider buying Uncharted 3. I played through Uncharted 1 when it released in 2007 the graphics where stunning and still are to date. The gameplay and story are simply amazing.Uncharted 2 improves everything from the 1st uncharted. The graphics are absolutely jaw dropping the gameplay is intense and fast paced. I don't like competitive multiplayer games but I found Uncharted 2 multiplayer very addictive it has all the game modes that most shooters have but with an uncharted twist and gameplay. There is also some co-op modes which you can play some co-op levels and Survival mode.
The controller it comes with is a standard DS3 controller except its blue with great rumble and almost completely useless Sixaxis. It does not come with a usb cord for charging
Overall it is a great value if you need an extra controller and Uncharted series alone has won a ton of Game of the Year Awards so far the only flaws are very minor in my opinion. both games are short 10 hours and no usb cable, however usb cables are very cheap and both games for the experience and unlockable content are worth multiple playthroughs and Uncharted 2 multiplayer will increase longevity.

There is no DLC on the disc itself, all DLC is accessible through a code that comes with the game. All of the codes for Uncharted 2: Game of the Year Edition expired in 2010. In other words, this product NO LONGER EXISTS as advertised. It is simply the standard Uncharted 2 in a different case now. Please be forewarned.I have also contacted a Sony representitive and there's no way they could extend the expiration date or offer any terms of credit to purchase the DLC.
Sony and Naughtydogs, I'm truly disappointed in you guys for having an expiration date on your exclusive games. I'm a big fan of your products, but in the future, you guys need to put an expiration date or a warning about these vouchers.

Excellent combo pack. Both games are awesome. Uncharted 1 and 2 are one of the bests games ever, great graphics, great gameplay and great story. Better you play those before playing uncharted 3.Also the metallic blue controller is very nice, and makes the combo pack an excellent option for ps3 new customers.As a starter, I would like to say that I have had my PS3 for over a year and this is my first time getting an Uncharted game. The games are very fun, and even though they were released in 2007 and 2008, they still have good graphics compared to some of the newer PS3 games. Drake's Fortune doesn't have online multiplayer which may be a negative for some, but if you have played Uncharted before, you know that you buy the games for the storymode, not online. You also get a blue controller which is great because now I can play Modern Warfare 3 with my friends. However neither Uncharted games support split screen play, so in one way it is silly that the Uncharted combo pack is paired with an extra controller. That doesn't affect me though, because like I said, I already have a split screen game so that I can play with my friends. Just like the box says, it is a $34 value which is great because I have yet to see either of these products at a great discount separately. The only thing that I was disappointed with is that the bundle is a North American product which means that both the box and the games have both English and French writing on them instead of the usual United States English only format. So, if you like adventure games and need another controller; don't hesitate and buy this bundle before it is sold out!The games came in separate cases, which I find nice. The Uncharted Super Voucher says that it expired 05/09/2012, but still worked on 05/09/2013. Just followed the instruction printed on the card, which was inside Uncharted 2.
The controller came in sleeve. It is a shiny metallic blue, not the "blue" controller available at retail.
Batman: Arkham Asylum (Game of the Year Edition)

Batman: Arkham Asylum was a gaming masterpiece. There are probably not a whole lot of people out there that would argue that fact. However, there are probably a great deal of people out there wondering if they should get this if they already bought AA. Simply put.......no.
In a nutshell, the plot is simply "Joker takes over Arkham Asylum and releases all sorts of baddies. Batman tries to stop him." The game hasn't changed much since it first came out and if you enjoyed AA almost a year ago, you can expect the exact same game this time around. Nothing has really been revamped, altered, or changed up. However, the biggest surprise for me was how well done the 3-D is. While the glasses are little more than cardboard blue and reds from the past, somehow Darkworks/TrioViz managed to avoid the tinting that those glasses used to give. It's still there a little bit, but at least the image isn't in blues, reds, and purples the whole time. You can actually notice various shades. Once your eyes relax, the image is clean and clear with very little in the realm of headaches or eyestrain. However, it doesn't hurt to pause or stop every once in a while, take off the glasses, and give your eyes a rest. Instead of being "popping" 3-D, it is more of a "passive" 3-D effect. To clarify: In so many 3-D experiences the image comes out at you as if it might hit you, this 3-D effect is more like the TV is simply a window and the depth starts from the screen's edge. Don't expect to try and dodge cheesy "in your face" moments. There is depth, but it far more subtle. For the gamers out there who wear glasses, fear not. The 3-D specs still fit over glasses, although I am sure it looks about as cool paisley polyester tracksuits. The passive 3-D has one big perk though, your friends can watch you play without the glasses and the 3-D "double exposure" look is minimal to non-existant. However, for all its style, it still feels gimmicky. Sure, it's cool, but I probably won't be playing through more than once with it turned on.
The extra challenge maps are nice, but since anyone can download them for an extra 7 bucks... Well, it doesn't really justify the price for older owners. For those unfamiliar, the extra maps are "Dem Bones" (Scarecrow Challenge maps) and "Crime Alley" (um....do I really need to explain that one?). The "Play as the Joker" maps are there as well. Pretty much everything you could have added over the last few months is there on one disk.
If you have been a holdout for Batman: Arkham Asylum, then this is well worth the price for the added 3-D and all challenge maps up to this point. You should be buying this immediately. For those people out there, this is a 5 star package. For anyone who already owns/owned Arkham Asylum, then this product should probably be passed up. Unless you feel like you MUST have the 3-D, spend the extra money and buy "Dem Bones" and "Crime Alley" off the PSN/XBL and save the rest for Batman Arkham Asylum 2.

On the few occasions Batman has had his own videogame, it's been a hard run for our hero. He doesn't have super-powers. It's hard to translate his detective skills into something that doesn't a) require the player to have the genius of Sherlock Holmes; or b) boil down to grabbing colored tokens and calling that "investigating". And of course the other obstacle Batman has to surmount is that balance between "Batman punches bad guy" and "Batman uses gadget on bad guy": you need good fight mechanics and useful gadgets that serve a purpose."Arkham Asylum" is the perfect marriage of the best things about Batman. It is also the perfect videogame for almost any audience. The fight mechanics make sense: they seldom leave you worrying more about being able to see than whether or not you're hitting the bad guy. There is a gameplay balance between the "quiet stealth" mechanic of a Splinter Cell or a Hitman game, versus the "weapons free" tactical assualt of a Rainbow Six. And best of all, every scenario can be handled more than one way: you can choose to sneak by a clump of henchmen, you can leap into the fray, or you can swing around Spider-Man style and torment them as you slowly take them down one by one. The only choke points in Arkham Asylum appear to be the boss battles, where you typically need to do one or more very specifc things in order to win. If you like RPGs, you'll be pleased to know that you can collect "experience" as you go and then spend it to get new upgrades to your armor, abilities, and gadgets.
Arkham Asylum is about as perfect as a game can get: it makes a complicated hero like Batman very easy to handle. It doesn't require fast-twitch skills, and yet there is plenty of action to be had. The controls are very fluid and despite lacking a platform-style "jump" mechanic, you are extremly agile and can easily chain combinations of moves together. For example, let's say you're on a ledge. You'd like to glide down, kick a bad guy, then grapple up to a gargoyle and swing across the room before he knows what hit him. You could do this by tapping square, then R1, then R1 again. If you knock somebody down and you'd like to finish them off, just hold R2 and press the triangle button: Batman will pounce on them, grapple, and subdue them with a knock-out punch and he'll even do it from some distance away so you don't have to sprint across the room before the bad guy gets to his feet.
Arkham Asylum also boasts a storyline written by Paul Dini, who is well known for the lion's share of the Batman Animated Series. Characters are voiced by the same people from the series, such as Mark Hamill as the Joker. There are all sorts of hidden goodies to find in every level, and each can unlock either the ongoing saga of Dr. Arkham or detailed information on the many DC characters that make up Batman's universe. Half of the fun is in listening to "patient interview tapes", reading origin stories and "first appearance" details, and exploring the "Behind the scenes" video content on the disc. You don't have to find everything that is hidden in this game, but the payoff makes you want to. Best of all, rather than worrying that you might miss out on a hidden secret, you are very clearly shown that some things won't be accessible until you come back later. Batman's gadgets come to him over the course of the game, and sometimes you'll need one that you'll be getting later in order to get into a secret area...you can always come back another time.
If games like this are typically hard for you, Easy difficulty does make it a cakewalk. Normal difficulty still gives you a lot of helping hands, though: if you get into a fatal situation such as falling off a ledge, the game will tell you 'tap R1 to escape' and give you a chance to avoid death. If you do die, you'll get a tip on the loading screen specific to what you were trying to get through. And if you're having trouble finding all the goodies, each section has a map that you can find that will light them up for you.
Still not impressed? Well, the Game of the Year Edition offers you the ability to play in "3D". This isn't the polarized "Avatar movie" style 3D, unfortunately: it is the traditional "red-blue glasses" 3D and comes with two pairs of folding paper 3D glasses. It works, it just doesn't bring much to the table. In levels with specific color balances such as the Arboretum (which has a lot of blues and greens), the colors tend to bleed out because you're looking through tinted lenses, so most of the time I leave this off. The Game of the Year Edition also adds 4 more maps, and the ability to "Play as the Joker". These extras really boost up the replayable appeal of Arkham Asylum. No matter what you're looking for in this game, you're going to find yourself coming back for more. You don't need to be a comic-book cognoscenti, but if you are you won't be disappointed.

I like Batman, but I am far from a big fan. With that being said, this is one of the best games I have played. The fact that it is in 3D makes it even better. The game combines many things that are familiar elements from other games. Some levels have a scary sensation like F.E.A.R offers. The fighting is similar to God of War. Stealth movement is like Splinter Cell. There are plenty of areas to explore. The graphics and voice work are amazing. But, let's get down to the basics:Pros: Has a well organized upgrade system, easy to learn controls and Batman moves and reacts like a superhero should. You get to use a lot of Batman's gadgets which is cool.
Cons: In some levels, you will have to go back and forth a few times to accomplish a task. The Boss battles are pretty close to being the same (a batarang to the head and then pummel them).
Graphics: Great 5 of 5
Sound: Great 5 of 5
Controls: Good 4 of 5 (pretty smooth, but not perfect)
Story: Moderate 3 of 5 (good but not captivating unless you are a Batman fan)
I would still give this game overall a 5 of 5, because it was a lot of fun and the 3D effect made it so much cooler. It is probably the best Comic Book game out there. Let's face it, Marvel has a hard time making a game that gets over 3 of 5 stars in most reviews, which is hard for me to say as I am a huge Marvel fan. I would definitely recommend this game and I can not wait for the sequel.

Batman Arkham Asylum: Game of the Year Edition is one of the greatest video games I have ever played. I am the rarest of gamers, a 63 year old who has been gaming on computers and consoles since the late 1970s. This game in the PS3 version is the best translation of a comic book hero into reality I've ever seen or heard of. If you want to get inside the mind of Batman and fight notorious villains and their henchmen without compromising any aspect of the characters, this is a game you must have. The GOTY edition allows you to play as the Joker, (main criminal adversary of the game), and comes with extra maps and challenges. There are puzzles which are solvable by people with average intelligence and if you need help solving the puzzle aspects of the game you can always find solutions somewhere on the web and plenty of walkthroughs are available on You Tube. The fighting is fast and calls for the cunning of a supreme crime fighter as you have so many weapons and "wonderful toys" to fight with. The game is enormous and encompasses all of Arkham Asylum as well as Arkham Island. You will be playing this one for a long time as it is just full of things to do and they are all fun. This game is considered one of the all time PS3 hits and is likely to remain as such for as long as there is a PS3. If you are considering purchasing Batman Arkham City, which is the sequel to this game, make sure you have played this one first. This game comes with all of the downloadable content which Arkham City has already started selling. So for about $20 you will get a game which cost $59.95 when it was released plus about $30 in downloadable content for free. When you finish playing Arkham Asylum, you can buy Arkham City for a lot less than it costs now. Buy this game, put it on your big screen, and enjoy yourself in the insane asylum.Want Batman: Arkham Asylum (Game of the Year Edition) Discount?
This game is as good as it was when it first came out, is not going to be any other way, nothing is going to change that, what an amazing game this is, so there's no much to add when it comes to the game it self, the additional maps is a nice bonus and you will have fun playing them.Now is the 3D worth it?, the answer is YES!, as I been saying TriOviz 3D is a great alternative and doesn't force you to change any equipment, I had no previous experience with this 3D option before this game, I had high hopes for it and it didn't let me down, I knew that the guys behind Batman Arkham Asylum wouldn't add and support a lame 3D feature to this great game.
Is a fact that there are diffences between this 3D option and the 3D option from 3D HDTVs but again it does deliver the 3D experience, it adds great depth, which by the way is the strongest point of this 3D option however it does offer some moments with pop'up images and depending on the angle you see something, things do have the feeling to come out from the screen, but not the way you would see in movie theaters though, not as close if you will, but again great 3D feature, like I read, this 3D option was applied to a finished game, apparently there can be more improvements/benefefits when taking it into consideration and applying it while the game is being developed, we will have to wait for more then, I also read that they do have many other projects yet to be announced for games and others things.
I'm looking forward to see more TriOviz 3D in games, movies, etc, this is not the old annoying analygraph 3D, though it might seem due to the glasses that come with the game, although they do have different glasses. You can check out their website for everything related to this tech: , I had talked about this 3D alternative in a few discussions already and well for me, at this moment, this is the way to go as far as 3D is concerned, I am willing and of course I do want to go through the 3D transition, we all would like to have a 3D HDTV, who wouldn`t?, but for me I have to face the fact that I just cannot go and pick one up without putting a quite some weight to my finance situation right now, so no 3D set for me, at least not yet, another fact is that I am not willing to change my 37 inch 1080p Panasonic LCD HDTV just yet, I am quite happy with it.
I fully support this tech for they provide a great, simple and functional 3D solution, hopefully it will get more support from the games/films industry to have more options in 3D, and not trying to sell the idea that in order to get 3D you HAVE to change your equipment, yes 3D equipment is a must for many partnerships created between companies, but 3D it self can be given to consumers no matter what with options like this, yes I'm up for the change and moving forward but there should be a smoother for 3D, lets not forget that there are people who don`t even have a regular HDTV, people in other countries who don`t have access to the latest technology, this is a great tech for that, and like they advertise on their website you can get 3D in a world dominated by 2D equipment.
Now, lets not forget that 3D will not make a game, movie or TV show good or better for that matter, Batman Arkham Asylum is still the same 5 out 5 stars amazing game in 2D or 3D.
3D is an option that I do appreciate for some movies, more suitable for games I would say but at the end is also way to get more money from us willing to pay more for it in this 3D momentum, 3D improves nothing but feeling when things move or interact in space, but that`s the whole point right!, I do like having the option but is not like "things won't be the same" if I don't have 3D availability or that I going to disregard a movie or a game if it doesn't have 3D in it.
...just for the record I talked more about 3D than the game it self because as I mentioned the game is still the same great game, 3D would be the reason to take into consideration for Batman Arkham Asylum: Game of the Year, otherwise get regular release of the game and save the difference for any other game or for Batman Arkham Asylum 2, on the other hand if you are a Batman fan and loved Batman Arkham Asylum, in that case the Game of the Year edition is probably a must, the 3D adds great value to it.
Prototype 2 Blackwatch Collector's Edition
List Price: $79.99
Sale Price: $26.92
Today's Bonus: 66% Off
Well first I'm going to review the game and then I'll review the BlackWatch Edition. First of all, if you didn't like the first one then you won't want this one because this is very similar to the first Prototype.
Story: You are Sgt. James Heller, you come back from your tour and find that a year later from Prototype 1, there is another outbreak and that outbreak has caused your wife and daughter to die. Now your out to get the one responsible for the outbreak, Alex Mercer. Heller confronts Mercer and he infects him, now you have to get new powers, abilities, and mutations to murder your maker.
Gameplay: New york has been turned into New york zero. NYZ consists of three islands, The green zone (GZ), the yellow zone (YZ), and the red zone (RZ). The green zone is clean of the infection, it's like a normal city but there is still some military wondering the streets and have bases set up. The yellow zone is more of a depression zone. Refugee camps, military everywhere, and Gentek is experimenting on people and infected. The red zone is total hell! Infected everywhere, military fighting, etc. The creatures in the game consist of Infected, Brawlers (Hunters from prototype 1), Juggernauts that are big, fat and armored beasts, and the Huge Goliaths! The are huge female monsters that have a shield for one arm and well a arm for the other. Blackwatch has super soldiers still with a new look. Now everytime you level you earn a skill point and level either health, movement, regeneration, Mass and finishers. Now there are mutations, every time you get collectibles in a area or do side missions (//BLACKNET) you get to get a mutation wich upgrades anything really.
Graphics: There ok. Not much different from Prototype 1, the monsters are very detailed and so are the weapons, but the best graphics I've seen from a 2011, 2012 game.
Overall: Prototype 2 is a fun game, free roam, monster killing, gore fest. The story is sad in the beginning, but turns into killing and slicing up bad guys. The graphics aren't the greatest but not terrible, if you liked prototype 1 I would get this game, so I give it a 4 out of 5.
Blackwatch edition time! It comes with 3 voucher codes, a artbook, a soundtrack, all the radnet edition stuff and well prototype 2. The 3 codes are a digital comic, a 20% off merchandise for prototypethegame.com, a dlc code for the colossal mayhem wich comes with 3 new powers and 3 skins: The Infected heller skin, the infantry heller and test subject heller. The artbook is nice and the concept art is nice, and the soundtrack has some nice music. The radnet edition comes with over 55 challenges, events, and rewards. So the blackwatch edition is nice.

Great game, for sure. Haven't been able to utilize the extras (deployed and the internet is crappy), but the gameplay is awesome. Only thing that would make it better is if it were longer Was a bit too easy (on hard) to find and do everything. But definitely a good sequel, well worth having.Buy Prototype 2 Blackwatch Collector's Edition Now
I really liked the first Prototype game. I ejoyed the game itself, and even just the free roaming and messing around. That said, Prototype is the best of Prototype and then some. I am in the Red Zone (the third area to be accessed in the story mode of the game), and I have completed nearly every extra mission and found all collectibles in the first and second zones already.All in all, the game is awesome. The powers and moves are similar to the first Prototype game. The evolve system is cool, as it lets you upgrade your health, regeneration, shapeshifting, mass, and finishers (a bit less free to use than the first game, which relied entirely on spending experience points to buy upgrades, rather than selecting 1 each time you "level up," like this game does).
The story is very good, and it is cool to see some of the characters (Alex and Dana Mercer primarily) back from the first game. When you get deeper into the game, the story takes a lot of turns taht are somewhat unexpected (a few are pretty predictable, as usual with any video game). I definitely do feel engaged by the story and look forward to what happens next. It doesn't feel completely predictable like other games are, which makes it difficult to put the game down at critical moments.
The only frustration I've found is the missions where you have to run after crates dropped from a crashing helicopter, with each one giving you a bit of extra time, befor time runs out. Some of them get a bit difficult. I've managed to get through about three or four of these (they are typically side missions, meaning optional), but I struggled a bit with some (the last one in the Green Zone, in particular). Still, it feels good to complete any of the side missions, and it does add new elements to the story and give more background information to what is going on outside of the main plot.
I like the different collectible items. There are blackbox recordings, field ops to kill, and lairs to defeat. This makes exploration rewarding and fun. The changing weather is also cool. there is no real advantage to this, but it does at least make the landscape a bit more diverse in that you aren't always looking at the same sky and it is sometimes raining or not.
The Blackwatch Edition is cool as well. The soundtrack is good (if you're in to video game soundtracks, that is, which I am), and the DLC is also worth it. The art book is nice, although I admit that I don't tend to look too much at those.
All in all, I highly recommend this game to anyone who is even remotely considering the purchase. You won't regret it.

Officially Licensed Sega Genesis Gen Mobile Portable System
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus:
The Genesis was my first video game system growing up. It is a great system with a wonderful library, so therefore anything that plays its games is bound to be at least okay. The GenMobile is, by this logic, an all right purchase. Unfortunately it is far from perfect.
First the good it's cheap by video game system standards, and comes with 20 games built right in. They vary in quality from great (Sonic and Knuckles) to good (DecapAttack, Columns III, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine) to average (Crack Down) to painful (Jewel Master). It's a mixed bag, but there's a decent amount of variety. It can also play Genesis cartridges via a cartridge slot, allowing you to play gems like Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Streets of Rage 2.
Now the bad. This thing was designed very poorly. The button layout is awkward and the reset button is uncomfortably close to the D-Pad. Due to some missing parts possessed by the actual Genesis system, some cartridges won't work, including Ms. Pac-Man and Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers. Toy Story works but freezes when you reach the first-person stage halfway through. Sound quality is inexcusably poor. It's all very unfortunate.
But when it comes down to it, this thing is still a decent purchase if you absolutely must play Genesis on the go. I would however recommend buying a plug-to-your-TV Genesis system, however, and I don't mean one of these new "clone" systems, because they have the same problems as the GenMobile. I'm talking about a real, vintage, 1990s Genesis system. Get one of those bad boys and some of my recommended games and you'll experience gaming nirvana in no time.
RECOMMENDED GENESIS GAMES
-Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles
-Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
-DecapAttack
-Contra: Hard Corps
-VectorMan
-Streets of Rage 2
-Castlevania Bloodlines
-Super Street Fighter 2
IMPORTANT UPDATE: My GenMobile has gone dead on me. It was owned for less than a year, played only occasionally, and treated like a king. I will not and cannot endorse this pathetic, shoddy worksmanship when my ACTUAL Sega Genesis which I have owned for over a DECADE is still working while this thing decided it couldn't take the heat. I have docked this piece of junk two stars for this insolence. NO LONGER EVEN SLIGHTLY RECOMMENDED! GET THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT!

I own the Retrogen, GenMobile, and the Nomad and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.I suspect the Retrogen and GenMobile were made in the same factories because they have the same compatibility with games, same sound issues, same build quality, and same "Firecore" menu.
Compatibility Winner: Nomad
The Nomad has actual Genesis hardware inside, while the Retrogen and GenMobile use emulation. I've run across a few games that don't work at all on the Retrogen and GenMobile (such as Super Street Fighter 2). The Nomad on the other hand will play any game, even Virtua Racing. The Nomad uses the same video and power cable as the model 2 Genesis and has a controller port that accepts any Genesis controller for player 2. The Retrogen and GenMobile don't even have a controller port, making them 1 player only systems. They will play most Genesis games, but you might run into 1 or 2 that don't work.
Screen Winner: draw
The Nomad has the biggest screen but being technology from the mid-90's, it is very hard to see. The Retrogen's screen is smaller than the Nomad's, but it's a huge improvement in clarity. It's not perfect, as there is a slight green tint (very noticeable on blacks and yellows) and the viewing angle is not as good as the GenMobile. The GenMobile has an even smaller screen than the Retrogen, but it is brighter and has a wider viewing angle. It depends if you want a bigger screen or more brightness.
Sound Winner: Nomad
Games sound as they should be on the Nomad, where as on the Retrogen and GenMobile they are off pitch. Streets of Rage 2 just sounds awful on the Retrogen and GenMobile. The Retrogen and GenMobile also only output mono sound.
Controls Winner: Nomad
The dpad and buttons on the Nomad are excellent. On the Retrogen and GenMobile the dpads don't pivot and can be pressed in the center, which is annoying. The GenMobile's dpad is actually made up of 2 separate pieces split diagonally. The buttons are ok. The dpads are the main problem. This is not a huge deal unless you are playing fighting games where precise movements are required.
Battery Winner: Retrogen and GenMobile
The Nomad takes AA batteries and drains them in no time. The Retrogen and GenMobile have built-in rechargeable batteries which lasts much longer. The Retrogen comes with a charging cable that ends in a usb plug, which you can charge in any computer or device with a usb port. The GenMobile comes with a wall adapter that you plug into any wall outlet. They both have the same mini-usb port, so you can use the wall adapter on the Retrogen or usb cable on the GenMobile. The downside is that if and when the rechargeable batteries die, you won't be able to replace them.
Portability Winner: Retrogen and GenMobile
The Nomad is very big and heavy, while the Retrogen and GenMobile are a fraction of the size and weight. The Retrogen and GenMobile are very lightweight. They do have a cheapish feel.
Built-in Games Winner: GenMobile
The Nomad doesn't have any built-in games. The Retrogen has 20 built-in homebrew games, which are very boring and you'll only play them once before getting tired of them. The GenMobile has 20 actual Genesis games built-in, which are much better.
Also, the GenMobile is licensed by Sega and has the Sega Genesis logos on the box (as well as a sticker on the unit, which can come off easily). The Retrogen is not licensed. You also get a wrist strap with the GenMobile. The GenMobile even has a better box than the Retrogen (it has magnets to hold the box closed instead of velcro).
Overall, the Retrogen feels like an older version of the GenMobile.
The GenMobile is a decent alternative to the Nomad, but you have to sacrifice a bit of sound/compatibility/controls for portability/battery life/screen quality.

I bought this handheld because I wanted to play my old Genesis games again, it plays every Genesis game I own. It comes with a charger and holds up to 8 hrs and it has 20 official Genesis games built in. You can even plug in the A/V plug to a television, I haven't tested this yet though. The sound on it is pretty good, its only one speaker so don't expect a Dolby sound system. The d-pad is pretty nice for most games except for Street Fighter 2 and other fighting games, the buttons are also awkward for fighters, but its not a problem if you don't play them. I recommend this system for anyone who misses their old Genesis games and the most important part, you can play it on the go!Pro: -plays Genesis games on the go!
-20 official Genesis games built in
-extra cartridge slot
-smaller than a Sega Nomad & Gear Gear (it fits in your pocket)
-long battery life and rechargeable
Cons: -button layout is strange
-D pad is not desired for fighters, should of been like a Sega Genesis D-pad

First off, I'd like to let the viewers know that I have 3 Game Gears. If one can find a Game Gear for under 20 dollars with working sound, you are very fortunate. Game Gears have 8 bit graphics, and the picture quality fades quickly. Game Gears also aren't very portable. In addition to the crappy blurry picture of the Game Gear, the games cost money. You can find some on Amazon for 1 penny, although you have to pay 4 dollars for shipping. I bought 7 games this way, and most cost more than a penny.
Where was this little gem the whole time? 16 bit graphics and 20 games built-in, and BRAND SPANKING NEW! This sounds stupid, but I feel special owning this. The games are fair to good, while some like Golden Axe, Shinobi III and Shadow Dancer are great. I secretly love Sonic Spinball also. shh! Yeah, the sound really is average to poor, but the gameplay is incredible. I can guarantee you that if you buy this system, you will play it for at least 3 to 4 hours on arrival. You'll also forget about the subpar sound quickly, as I did. I just turned down the volume, and really became involved.
An alternative would be to purchase a PSP and the Sega Genesis Collection which includes almost the same exact games. It's really an issue of finances for some when it comes down to it. (To add: One major advantage with GenMobile is nonexistent load times)
I'd also like to give 2 thumbs up to Classic Game Source Inc. I ordered this product, but without the 20 games (don't recommend) at first, and asked them to cancel it. They canceled the order immediately without sending it. I reordered this, and received the RetroGen with the 20 games in 2 days.
update December 2010I now have 3 Retrogens and they are used on a regular (Monday through Friday) basis by kids. All 3 still work fine. Usually if something seems wrong, plug it in with the included charger, and everything works perfect again. Peace, Lou
3 year update 11/12: This little system is so impressive. I bought 3 of these which get regular use, and all 3 still work.

Well, I was pretty excited to see this. I didn't think that anything like this even exsisted. At Fifty dollars, who could say no! Well, let me tell you. Its not a TERRIBLE deal, but mine is already broken. I havent even had the thing a month. BECAREFUL when loading the cartridges into the slot, thats how mine quit. It wont turn on.Once again, not a TERRIBLE deal, but only if you have fifty bucks to blow and caring hands.
Cool Features:
Plugs into television slot via AUX cables.
Doesnt require batteries, rechargable included.
Its something INNOVATIVE!
Good Battery Life.
Poor Features:
Too small.
Feels cheap.
Screen is too small.
All in all, I'd have to say....in the end...its probably not worth the money. Save a coulple bucks and buy a used Genesis Console.
Playstation 3 Real Arcade Pro. 3 Fighting Stick
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: $199.99

For serious fighting game fans, a decent stick is a key part of your arsenal. However, the parts and construction generally used to make up consumer-grade sticks, especially in the US where Arcades are more or less dead, have almost universally been of sub-par quality when compared to the real thing you find attached to arcade cabinets.
This makes sense, of course. Arcade components are designed to withstand full-scale assaults every day all day; it's a safe assumption that something bought for home use isn't going to go through the kind of abuse you'd expect an arcade machine to go through. On top of that, constructing something out of industrial-strength arcade parts ain't cheap. Who's going to pay over $100 for a game controller?
Well, as it turns out, a lot of people. Left with no other solution, fighter fans who want the genuine article have traditionally turned to simply making their own sticks. You buy the parts from a japanese manufacturer like Sanwa or Seimitsu, plot out where the holes are going to go on a chunk of wood, and drill and solder and screw your way to perfection. This approach, however, is expensive, time consuming, and requires some level of expertise to pull off correctly.
The other approach was to wait for a Japanese company to produce one of their factory sticks (usually in extremely limited numbers), put them up for sale in Japan, and pay through the nose to import. While this was a lot easier than buying your own parts, you always wound up paying some kind of premium. $200+ was not uncommon to own one of these things.
We're at the point now, however, where the industry has gotten large enough that you can just up and buy these things on Amazon.com now. My sincere recommendation, if you're at all interested in owning a stick, is that you bite the bullet and shell out the money for a good one. Once you pass a certain threshold in quality with these sticks, you enter the realm of specialized consumer electronics that are made to specifications without regard to your average user.
The HRAP3 is one such stick. This thing is designed from the ground up with the assumption that the only people who are going to buy it are serious connoisseurs, so damn the price, let's make it properly.
If you're not a SERIOUS serious stick person and are just getting into the swing of things, here's all you need to know: This is one of the best high-end sticks money can buy, and it will last you a decade or more. These are extremely durable, very responsive, and have a very well-defined functionality about them that you won't get from cheaper products. Yeah, they're expensive, but honestly? You're getting your money's worth and that will become apparent the instant you use this stick. Buy it, be happy.
As an aside, this stick has a USB lead and will also work with your PC out of the box (just hold the HOME button for 5 straight seconds upon plugging it in). This is absolutely perfect for emulators like MAME, or any other PC game you wish to play with an arcade stick.
That out of the way...
Okay, let's assume you're a serious stick person. Here's a more in-depth rundown:
The stick itself is a Sanwa with a square gate, and the buttons are all Hori. This isn't bad, but the good news is that they're all attached with a quick-detach lead and can be popped loose with a screwdriver easily, no solder required. If you want to go the serious route and swap the buttons for Sanwa and the stick for Seimitsu, this stick will let you do it pretty easily. Google has many picture tutorials to do this.
I replaced the gate with a Sanwa Octagon (I like Sanwa sticks but a lot of people prefer Seimitsu) and all the buttons with Sanwa. It took about 10 minutes and was completely painless.
If you do this, you have a stick that is officially on par with the Street Fighter IV TE stick (also made with all Sanwa parts) and the special import-only editions of the HRAP, but it is much cheaper to buy this one and do a little surgery than buy the factory-stock ones that come with Sanwa. This is a lovely medium ground between building your own and buying a factory made one; you get some level of customization, you're saving a little money, and you're still getting full-on arcade quality. Go for it.
I hope this review helped!

Street Fighter II HD Remix, and Street Fighter IV have fueled the fire for fighting games again and people are once again looking for a good quality stick. For the money, you can't beat this stick. All of you searching for an arcade quality joystick without breaking the bank can look here. The Hori Real Arcade Pros were easily over $120 in Japan so this is a bargain. It uses a Sanwa joystick which is one of the best if not the best quality joystick around. It uses buttons which are made by Hori which are a tad spongy to me, but the beauty of this stick id that you can easily swap them out for Sanwa or Seimetsu buttons if you want a true arcade unit in your home. Sanwas can take millions of presses.For the average person, this stick will be more than fine, for the hardcore fighter, this stick will serve as a base for upgrading. Being a Japan stick, you get the ball type stick rather than the typical US baseball bat. WHen I first tried the ball type years ago, I didn't like it. Then I got used to it and it offers a bit more speed and control when playing fighters. I refuse to use anything but the ball type now. Buttons are arranged in the Japan curved arcade cabinet style which again, I prefer now compared to the straight button layout. Add turbo functions for shmups and you've got yourself a fine stick for the price. I personally also have the Sega Virtua Stick High Grades (available only through Japan imported) and those are all Sanwa with a 6 instead of 8 button layout. SImply the best. Second is the Hori here, and about $50 cheaper.
THose looking at the upcoming Street Fighter IV Mad Catz ones...I'm a little weary as Mad Catz doesn't exactly scream quality but supposedly they are all Sanwa Parts as well. I'd hold off until they are out. That and they are sixty dollars more than this. Avoid the cheaper SF IV ones, those are not made with arcade parts and your stick will most likely fail at some point.
Pros:
Curved button layout
Sanwa Japan style ball stick and convex style buttons
Hori quality
Upgradeable buttons
Price
Cons:
Hori Buttons (not a bad thing except for the most hardcore)
Limited availability

So Hori has finally made the Real Arcade Pro 3 available stateside, so no more costly importing!Believe it or not, this is my first real Arcade Stick. I'm 25 years old and am just now getting into fighters properly. Street Fighter IV was a factor but It's also a genre I've always wanted to get into but never had enough confidence with my skill level nor had the neccessary tools.
So I've finally started to commit myself to develop the skill and understanding the rules for different titles as well as purchasing said tools!
This Arcade Stick is highly regarded for it's build and quality. True as others have stated, it doesn't have the infamous Sanwa Buttons that the special Japan Amazon Edition had or the upcoming (now sold out) SFIV Tournament Stick have, but this is irrelevant at this point to me. I'm just learning and the buttons here are more than good enough.
As listed, it's is USB corded (not wireless), which is about 10ft in length. It's fine for my household though I had to buy an additional USB extension cord for like $3 as I sit about 13ft away from my Tele.
The great thing about it is that it double as a PC stick, so you MAME enthusiasts out there are good to go! I've gone back and started playing the Street Fighter Alpha series as well as SFIII: 3rd Strike. Not to mention it's fun to go and play around with ol' Neo Geo classics like Metal Slug (it's got a turbo function), KoF, Samurai Showdown, etc...
Whether it's in your lap or sitting on a counter or table, it's fantastic and comes highly recommended!

The HRAP 3 is a great stick right out of the box. It has a Sanwa JLF joystick straight from the Japanese arcades and Hori buttons. The only downside to the joystick is the Hori Buttons. They're not very good for fighters (like Street Fighter 3) and feel cheap. Luckily Hori added quick disconnects and you can easily buy new buttons and swap them out with extremely little knowledge. Build quality is great and it has a good weight to it. It works easily and seamlessly with the Playstation 3 and the PC. Just plug it in and it's good to go.Highly recommended.

There is a drought for arcade sticks, especially with the release of Street Fighter IV. My local game store doesn't have any, and the only ones they do carry when they do have them in, are the Mad Catz ones. Not the Tournament Edition (TE) either. This arcade stick has the exact same size of the Tekken 5 Ultimate Collector's edition for those of you that have that. The only difference is the button layout on the Real Arcade Pro (RAP) is that of traditional Japanese arcade boards. It's not bad in any way, just that it takes time to get acquainted with it.I've read reviews of this being a "clunky" joystick, which was very surprising as it has Sanwa parts for the joystick unit (Sanwa is the premier arcade parts developer in the world). I suspected that these individuals had never been in an actual arcade. When I got the stick it was like I thought, because the stick is just like the arcades I grew up on. The buttons, however are not Sanwa buttons...to me though, I prefer the Hori buttons. Although Sanwa is reported to have better response, I can't stand the clicking of their buttons (if you depress the button, it will click). For the hard core, you can buy the Sanwa buttons and install them if your at all technically savy (still making it cheaper than the TE by Mad Catz). And as for the reports of the RAP being defective, I've not had a problem at all with mine for over a month.
After a month of research, I concluded this was the arcade stick for me. I trust Hori, it wasn't as expensive as the import version, and anything "better" was outrageously more expensive. Take it from an arcade rat from the 90's, this is the right arcade stick for your fighting games. I've had five friends buy it and they all love it as well.

My family actually bought this bundle solely to have a spare guitar, and this was the coolest guitar available. However, the first one that arrived had a sticking strum bar.

There's a replacement strum bar available online for $7, but I was within my 30 day purchase period, so took it back. The second guitar works perfectly.

Just felt i had to write in and give a review. While i did not purchase this exact one, my color scheme is different, this is the first one you come across. Great product, covers alot of the ps3, it actually looks like you bought a different ps3 from somewhere. The only downfall is its a little hard to get on. Now if it wasnt hard to get on you wouldnt have the same effect.... it would look like a sticker on a ps3. That being said, all you need is a clear space, good lighting, and it helps to have an extra pair of hands for the top cover. All i used was soap water out of a spray bottle, sprayed on the back of the vinyl so i had some wiggle room. It did take me over an hr to put it on but any one who wants the effect to be great and is meticulous like me it is well worth it. Would highly recommend to anyone of my friends. Would use again, but it will be on my ps4 since they last the lifetime of any system. Hope that helps and no i dont work for them.Buy PlayStation 3 Skin (PS3) - NEW - RED CHROME MIRROR Now

Plays exactly like Dynasty Warriors series and Samurai Warriors. If you like the other games then you'll probably like this too. I don't mind the hack and slash games, but I only played Dynasty Warriors 4 and 5 on the PS2 and Samurai Warriors. I would recommend this to those that like the other series just because well it's a little new. It plays the same and all, but with the added Gundam theme. It's basically just like going from Dynasty Warriors to Samurai Warriors. Story isn't really that great though, but if you just wanna destroy 1000 enemies then this is it. I have only watched G Gundam and Gundam Wings, so I'm not sure how the other series was. But characters comes from all over the series, but only Domon from G Gundam and Heero from Gundam Wing is in here. Cuz I don't really recognize any of the other Gundams.
The game to me is shorter then the other series because well, there's really no more then 4 missions for each character. And it basically just drag each mission on to about 15 30 min. So basically to level your pilots (max 30) or Gundam (max 10) you would have to play the mission over and over. That's probably why they give the option to play with a pilot using different Gundam. Along with the cutscene and victories, they seem to be all the same no matter what Pilot you use. But there is a "Offical Mode" which follows the Gundam storyline, and it will end the same, with the same cut scenes no matter what side you pick....... The "Original Mode" Which is a story about a mysterious planet and all Gundam pilots are just thrown in there.
If you like the series, but don't like the Gundam theme then I suggest you just wait for Dynasty Warriors 6.

I have played several installments of the Dynasty Warriors series and it never truly felt anything had really changed. Like Street Fighter, the games used the same formula with new characters and for loyal fans, it worked but unless you were a fan of the series, it just wouldn't grab your attention. I've watched several Gundam series over the years and was excitied when I first heard of this game. I had read good reviews on it and many people I spoke with said it was worth a look so I bought a copy and have loved it. I can tell you right now that many Gundams are not included in this game mainly from the G-Gundam series though to be fair, many would prefer more Gundams from the Gundam Wing Series. I honestly would like to see Dragon Gundam and DeathScythe Gundam in this game but I am hoping they will do a sequel and add those Gundams in. Still regardless of how I would like certain characters added in, I still very much enjoy playing this game. It is just great fun to have several Zaku mobile suits coming at you at once and you just unleash combos on all of them and before you know it, you have already put down 100 enemies in less than a minute and a half. I would reccommend this game to any Gundam fan or Dyansty Warriors fan, however if you are not someone into battling several opponents at once, I would pass on this but I still would tell anyone, this is a great game to own.Read Best Reviews of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Here
Here's my Pros and Cons for this game.Pros:
Graphics of the Gundams are very detailed and seeing your Gundams in action is very cool.
Anime Fan Service.
Tons of stuff to unlock, such as, Mobile Suits, Characters, and even the Space Ships.
Japanese Voice Over option!
Fun Hack n' Slash and Hundreds of Enemies!!! Don't need to really think. Just sit down, play, and enjoy the eye candy.
Some simple RPG Elements, such as, Leveling up and equipments.
Cons:
Backgrounds are kinda dull looking.
Repetitive Gameplay.
Overall:
I'm an Anime Fan and I enjoyed it a lot. Just looking at Gundams in Action was well worth it. I would recommend this to all Anime Fans.

Rockband Rubber Tip Drum Sticks
List Price: Price Unavailable
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus:
I have the Rockband 2 wireless drums with cymbals, and I love these things! The rubber tips are removable. They don't cancel much noise, but the bounce they produce on the pads is incredible! They make drumming so much easier. If you have the cymbals, they are just as loud and don't quite bounce as well. They are also thicker, so if the cymbals are too high, you will be hitting them with the stick instead of the tip. The tips also seem to wear rather quickly, but all in all, these are worth it.

Sticks are great, much sturdier than the set that came with my Guitar Hero drums. Rubber tips stay on, and are quieter and provide better bounce off the heads. Recommended if you need new sticks.Buy Rockband Rubber Tip Drum Sticks Now
I actually prefer the drum pad silencers with the regular sticks. I purchased both the pads and the rubber tip sticks at the same time though. After putting on the pads, I find that the regular sticks sound about as quiet as these rubber tipped ones and the regular sticks provide much better bounce on the pads. Save your money. Buy one or the other not both. Not that these do not work, just that they are not needed if you have the pads and actually I doubt I will ever use them now. They just do not work well with the pads, in my opinion.Read Best Reviews of Rockband Rubber Tip Drum Sticks Here
I bought these for someone else, and she doesn't like them very much. They are cute, but they aren't very useful.She says they make it very difficult to "feel" what's going on with the drums. I'm not a drummer, so I'm not exactly sure what she means by that, but I assume she means the rubber tips make it hard to feel the appropriate vibrations or bounce-back.
They don't mitigate the sound as well as you would hope, either. The rubber tips are supposed to cut down on the noise from drumming, but they really offer very little sound mitigation.
She also says the tips tend to fly off, especially after you've had them for a while and they start to get stretched out.
If you just want some cooler-looking drumsticks, these are probably fine. But I wouldn't buy them thinking they will dull the sound much.

Just wanted to point out that these drumsticks aren't exactly rubber tipped they COME with rubber tips, and the rubber tips are red rather than the white that is the tip color of these sticks.If you're looking for drumsticks with a cool pattern that say RockBand on them, you'll like these they're 5A's, btw.
