Customer Review: Absolutely Rubbish
I purchased this product hopeing it would improve the picture quality of my component cable. To be honest there was nothing wrong with the component, the picture was clear, sharp and the colours were vibrant. THIS cable however made the picture quality plumet completely. The screen had a dull shadow of grey coating it and the small details like edges of straight lines were all fuzzy, clearly visable from my seat around 2 meters away. Also it made the screen a fraction smaller and made everything seem more streched. Take my advice, if you want something as good as HDMI, get or stick with compenent cables. In my own opinion, compenent is just as a good as HDMI. My friend has the eilte, on the same sized tv as mine and I could see absolutley NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever. So don’t waste your money on this rubbish.
Customer Review: much better than Component and not far from HDMI
After seeing a 360 Elite via HDMI and a normal 360 via Component both on the same 32″ LCD TV, the difference was a lot more than i thought! Component gave slightly jagged edges to most objects and some colours just looked slightly off-hue, compared to HDMI which looked smoother and produced more normal colours. Annoyed that i’d bought a normal 360 before the Elite was released, I couldn’t see the point in paying around ?300 for a better picture, so for the sake of ?18 (ish) VGA was worth a try.. This cable is definitely worthwhile for the improvement it gives over Component - once the right resolution has been chosen for the TV/monitor it’s on (with a 32″ LCD @ 16:9 widescreen, 1360×768 seemed to look right), it’s very close to HDMI quality in both visual sharpness and colour realism.

Customer Review: Why you little!!!!
Well, after many a dodgy tie-in game, finally a game based upon the Simpsons IP that isn’t a complete failure. It’s not ground breaking either, but a middling, fun game. If you’re a Simpsons fan, then the humour is spot on and the cutscenes superb to watch - as you would expect given that the Simpsons writers themselves were involved in the game. The bane of all platform games (camera angles) makes an occasional appearance, but doesn’t ruin the game completely. It’s not as good as say, Lego Star Wars II, but much better than many platformers. In my opinion, there’s too much emphasis placed upon collecting things - Duff bottle caps, Marge’s saving coupons, Malibu Stacey’s, Krusty stuff - it’s like the developers needed to pad the game out - and they did, because you will complete the story line fairly quickly. The video game cliches are reasonably funny and at least take a different tact on the collectibles approach, but again, they are just padding. So, aside from a collectible overdose, you might be thinking I like this game. As a Simpsons fan, you’re right. I loved the main story, enjoyed it and thought it was a reasonable game. However, there’s a problem with the Simpsons on the 360 which others have also found and been left annoyed by - the autosave mechanism. As you progress, the game autosaves. It does so when you get a collectible, cliche or complete a chunk of the story. However, the autosave is buggy and is known to corrupt the save file. Theory seems to be that it sometimes takes much longer to save than the game indicates, so after the autosave logo disappears, you exit the game and hey presto - your save is corrupted. This is shocking and something EA should have picked up in QA. Unfortunately I fell foul to this bug after completing the main storyline and was about to embark on getting the missing collectibles - what a kick in the teeth!

Customer Review: Perfect for those with no discipline
I have no discipline when it comes to money. What can I say, I love to support the economy. This item here is also good for those who do not TRUST Microsoft. I like the fact the price and the points are nice evenly divisible numbers.
Pros - Great value, m$ doesn’t get your credit card number (I would get the prepaid year subscription too)Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Card.
Cons - Not spending that extra $12.50 in direct support for The US of A, Having to enter the 15 digit code, I’m lazy.
