    GBA SP Classic NES Edition
    At first look, you might think the Game Boy Advance SP is a sleek travel alarm clock; when closed, it’s just as tall and deep as the original GBA, but only half as wide. Its clamshell design protects the screen from everyday scratches. Open it up and the hinge will seek out a preferred, pre-set angle (about 150 degrees), though you can open it a bit wider or narrower for your own comfort. The hinge stands up well to lateral pressure.

    Many decried the original GBA’s reflective LCD screen and its reliance on external light sources. The Game Boy Advance SP’s main feature–optional built-in lighting–fixes this complaint nicely. The quality of the backlighting is very good; it’s bright and clear when looking directly at the screen, though less so from other angles.

    The SP comes with a power adapter that recharges a built-in lithium battery; our informal tests found that it takes about four hours to fully charge (you can play it while it’s plugged in and charging), and the battery lasts about 11 hours with the backlighting constantly on. Using the backlighting less often will conserve battery power.

    Size, power, and affordability don’t come without trade offs, though. There’s no headphone jack here–you’ll need a separately sold adapter–and the system isn’t very loud at its highest volume. The L and R shoulder buttons are a fraction of the size they were on the GBA, and thus are harder to hit, and the reduced size of the SP is slightly less comfortable for adult hands than the GBA. The cartridge port placement on the lower part of the console is fine for GBA games, since they are flush with the console body, but older Game Boy Color carts will stick out in a way that takes some getting used to.

    Overall, the SP is a significant improvement on, and seems just as rugged as, its predecessor–which has proven to be very rugged indeed. –Porter B Hall

    Customer Review: Oh boy I wish I still had mine!
    I sold my GBA SP Classic NES edition to help pay for my Nintendo DS. I really like the DS but oh boy do I miss this beauty of a machine.

    Let’s get the moans out of the way, yes the GBA SP only had a front light and not a proper back light so the screen isn’t as colourful as the DS. And yes, you had to pay extra for an adapter if you wanted to use headphones. But stuff that, this thing is amazing and I miss my old one!

    So why was it so good? Well the design was spot one. I get finger burn and cramps from my DS light and my PSP when I try to play racing games, never got any pain from the GBA SP. Also this was the last portabl console to have the traditional Gameboy style layout of control buttons under the screen (instead of either side like the Lynx, GG, GBA, Neo Geo, DS & PSP). For some reason I find this layout better, don’t ask me why it just is. Some truths are as unedinable as they are unquontifiable!

    Next up: the NES design is a winner, easily the best looking console I’ve owned. The DS lite is sleek but this baby had charm. The light weight clam shell design is very small indeed and easily fits into any pocket I ever had. Also the battery life took a mighty wacking on many occassions.

    But the main reason I loved this console was the games. The great titles just kept coming and coming. I was getting a soar neck from trying to angle my old GBA under a lamp to see them. The GBA SP meant I could actually enjoy my games without hurting myself, which I think you will agree makes a nice bonus!

    Advance Wars, Mario Golf Advance, Sonic Advance, FIre Emblem, Metroid Fusion, Wario Ware Twisted, Aria of Sorrow, Golden Sun and Astro Boy are as good as the best any system has to offer. In fact I argue that the GBA has a lot more AAA titles then the N64, the Cube, the Xbox or any of the current gen consoles. I still play many of the GBA RPGs and SRPGs on my DS as they are yet to be bettered. But some how they doesn’t quite feel the same as they did on the GBA SP NES edition. If you’ve got one KEEP IT!

    Customer Review: one of the best!
    I bought one of these the day it was released and I had so much fun with it and had some cracking games for it, notably Zelda! The handheld looks gorgeous, even today, its light and can easily store it in your pocket when not using it! I sadly no longer had it as I got a psp and a DS Lite, and I got to say, for a upgrade from the GBA SP, you got to get the DS Lite, as that can play the GBA games too as well as the many great DS titles that are available to own, but the GBA is still a greta buy today if you just want a handheld with no special features like touch screen. The GBA has a lot of games from all different types to offer and so you can’t go wrong with this beauty!

Customer Review: Wake up, people!
What is wrong with the world? Treasure, the undisputed masters of 2D, spend three years developing an enhanced remake of one of their very best shoot-'em-ups, and nobody's talking about it. It's next to impossible to find in the shops. It's on a format most people have consigned to the dustiest shelf in the spare room. You've got to ask yourself - am I any kind of gamer at all? Because if you are, then it's your duty not to let this beautifully crafted labour of love slip into obscurity. It's a spectacular blast through levels that rarely take more than a couple of minutes each. One moment you'll be jumping and shooting in a traditional platform style; the next, you'll be standing on a spaceship, picking off missiles in a 3D flight sort of thing; or piloting a helicopter; or trying to kick a giant teddy bear under the wheels of a van… Every level is completely different, and packed with more humour and imagination than you'll find in the entire Top 10 games chart at any given time. If that's important to you - and it ought to be - then break out your GBA (or DS) and enjoy the greatest, most hardcore handheld shooter ever devised.

Following a strong introduction sequence, it’s quickly down to the action in the Game Boy Advance version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. For unlike the Game Boy Color version, the game kicks off with Harry already at Hogwarts, and with some fast learning to do. You step into Harry’s shoes, initially moving from classroom to classroom learning new skills and spells, before indulging in activities such as sneaking out of your dormitory at night, fighting off trolls and having a quick game of Quidditch too. You certainly can’t accuse the developers of trying to short-change the fans, as it seems they’ve tried to cram as much of the film into the game.

Unfortunately, that’s also at the root of the game’s main problem. While it tries to cover all angles of the plot, it does mean that some segments of the game lack a little polish, and aren’t always that enjoyable. Sure, there’s some great fun to be had with the game, and the quality of the graphics means players will instantly relate it to the film. It’s just that perhaps a little more development time could have paid dividends. Nonetheless, fans of both the film and books are likely to get some enjoyment out of the game, even if arguably it’s inferior to the Game Boy Color version. And if you’re not overwhelmed by Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, you can wager on one certainty–this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Mr Potter on the Game Boy Advance… –Simon Brew

Customer Review: Excellent and Challenging!
When I ordered this game from Amazon, I thought it was going to be an okay average games. Too wrong I was: you begin the came by attending your first defence against the dark arts lesson and then once your spell is learnt you do a tricky challenge. Over 10 amazing challenges requiring alot of brainpower. Includes everything a gameboy game requires: skill, patience and determination. It took me a month to get past the prefects but well worth the wait! The hardest challenge is the last challenge, fighting Voldemort. I won’t reveal any more secrets but definitely a MUST PLAY game!

Customer Review: GTA Advance (gba)
GTA advance is a great game. A lot like the original GTA and GTA 2. It plays by birds-eye view. There are loads of great missions, including taxi, racing, ambulance, police etc. and the normal missions. This GTA does not have all the new gta features. It has a small variety of cars and tanks, but does not have motorbikes or any planes etc. Like the original GTA’s you sink and die in water. I highly recommend this game for GTA fans though, its a great pass time, hopefully they will make a 3d version soon - a bit like driver 2.
Customer Review: Listen up GTA fans…
OK so I love GTA as much as the next person, I’ve spent a good part of the last few years wired up to my ps2 trying to complete the lastest installments - so I do know a bit of what I’m talking about, and GTA for the GBA is really NOT what you want. OK, so its on the GBA and maybe you dont expect much, but what you DO expect is the same vibe and storyline that has been around since the dawn of the very Grand Theft Auto. This is a shoddy excuse for a game, the dodgy graphics dont make this a bad game alone, its mostly down to the lousy storyline. You don’t need a powerful games console to have a good story that keeps you hooked - so these guys really have no excuse.

Customer Review: Fantastic!
Absolutely brilliant console. Ultra-photo-realistic graphics, easy-to-cope-with controls, AND compatible with almost every PS2 game and some PS1 games as well. It plays Blu-Ray and normal DVDs (and is half the price of a Blu-Ray player), CDs and can also connect to the internet with a built-in modem. Overall, FANTASTIC! (Note: 1 minorly annoying thing is that is can get a bit noisy if the hard drive gets too full up, but it’s still definitely worth more than whatever you pay for it on Amazon! FAB!)
Customer Review: Fantastic Console, Worth the Price !
Having got this console for christmas along with Resistance Fall of Man, Call of Duty 4 and Ratchet and Clank I can honestly say this console is an absolute gem! The sighn up process to Playstation Network was very simple and after creating my unique user name I was read to start using the Playstation store, browsing the internet and best of all free online gaming! In my honest opinion I found the online gaming on the Playstation Network a lot more stable and lag-free than xbox live, I know a majority of games on PS3 use dedicated servers instead of peer-to-peer networking. Voice and video chat is a fantastic feature. It plays blu ray moives in amazing 1080p fantastically and so far all of my PS1 and PS2 games have been fully playable on it. I recently bought GTA IV, Uncharted and Gran Turismo Prologue and they are the best graphics I have ever seen on any console/computer in my life even on 720p. The game libary is slowly expanding with lots of fantastic games out soon. The machine it self runs brilliantly, quietly and looks fantastic. It is a fantastic multi-media hub as well as a top of the range games machine, the online play is superb, Haze and Killzone 2 are my next games on my list. I reconmend this console to everyone.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (GBA) Customer Review: This game's really good!
This game is really fun to play on - at first you will probabally get stuck on the first level, but once you really get into the game, it will become easier. You play as Harry and you have to complete various tasks such as finding books in the library, spell challanges and flying lessons. A cool game, but some bits are quite hard. Age: 8 - 11
Customer Review: Magic !
This game is one of the best games I’ve played and a must for Harry Potter fans. The gameplay is very good and simply exploring the Castle and grounds is enough to keep you entertained for hours. Getting round the castle is made fast and easy unlike the tediosness of the previous Harry Potter game. The game is challenging to the right degree, not impossible but will entertain you for a long time. The magic bean challenges are particularly enjoyable.

Cherry Sunburst Desgin Guitar Hero III Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controller Skin Decal Sticker for Wii and Xbox 360/ PS3
Scatch Resistant Skin Sticker protect and personalize your Wii or Xbox 360/PS3 Guitar Hero III Guitar controller. Self-adhesive plastic-coated skins cover the Guitar controller, and they are paper-thin so they do not add any bulk. Skins are easy to apply (no bubbles), durable and easily removable without any residue. When applying the skin, you’ve got to make sure that the surface is totally clean of any oil or sweat!
Customer Review: Great Way to Personalize Your Guitar Hero III Axe
The “skin” stickers for Wii’s Guitar Hero III Gibson Les Paul Guitar are just the thing to make your axe (guitar) stand-out in a competition. When you order one, it is shipped in a LARGE (15 x 18 or so) reinforced envelope that is flat, and it came by USPS, so if someone isn’t home to receive it, you’ll be making a trip to the post office, but that trip is worth it because the decal is a beauty. I chose the Cherry Sunburst because I have a Les Paul with a Cherry Sunburst finish. The skin is easy to remove from its backing, and goes on easy. I put the head stock on first at the end of the fret bar, so I could get a feel for the skin. The skin is very forgiving, allowing you to remove it for replacement if it gets askewed while applying. Like most skins, you’ll get a few bubbles in it, but you can smooth those out by working them out from the center to the outside. I applied all of the skins, including the one to the control. Speaking of which, be sure to open the slits where the speaker is on the control. Those almost have to be poked-out with a round edge of a paper clip (don’t use a knife unless your hand is real steady because you may accidentally cut the opening larger than it is already). Overall, this is a great product and you can find it with several dozen designs.

This cover is not as nice as the DS ones from nintendo. The cover case doesn’t turn color, and doesn’t fit the ds as well as the (nintendo) covers. Mine broke after one week of use, and cover is upside down to the ds covers.
Customer Review: Don’t Order From This Company!
This has been the worst experience I’ve ever had when ordering anything through Amazon or any other on-line order. I never received the item. It took 2 weeks, after they notified me of shipement, to receive the WRONG order, and the company is in the same state as I am. Then when I called them I had to leave a message, they wouldn’t answer their phone. I just wanted to know what to do with the items that I received and what about my original order. I never received a call back but was sent an e-mail telling me that they shipped out the correct order. After waiting for another 2 weeks I wrote a vendor review. A man called me and and asked me why I wrote such a bad review. I explained what had happened and he promised me he would look into it and call me back cause the product was out of stock at the time and was checking to make sure my order had been shipped. Well, he never called me back and I never received the original items. I e-mailed them and they tried to tell me that they were waiting for me to tell them what to do. I demanded a refund immediately. They did refund me, or should I say Amazon did, and I will never order through that company again. Amazon has always been so good to order through but I think they should reconsider using this vendor for their products and find someone else that is reliable.

    Customer Review: absolutley abysmal
    never in my life have i purchased such a mess of an item. Having plugged it into my PS3 upon arrival i was confronted with a blank screen, eventually got it to work with some ‘wiggling’ about but then it would not display 1080p (which is exactly what i bought it for). Being a lazy person i did not send it back and contented myself with 1080i… big mistake. Only two weeks later i was having to wiggle the socket end to get it to display my PS3 on my television every single time i switched my PS3 on. Eventually it stopped working all together and i was just outside the 30 day amazon returns policy. I have no issue with not being able to return it now as that was my own lazy fault, but i do have a problem with the blatant lies this product espouses. If you want to play at 1080p please please please buy another cable, if you want a HDMI cable that lasts more than 4 weeks please buy another cable. I am personally ashamed to have fallen into its trap.

    Customer Review: A GOOD EARLY GAME
    motorstorm is a good start for an off road game for the ps3 but needs improving in a few areas. this game has good graphics and pretty good physics and controls so initially you know you have bought a good handling off road game but…. when you get to level 4 races and above things degenerate into other cars just trying to smash you up no matter if it costs them the race or not.some dubious crashes dont help for example i was travelling at 15 mph and got hit into a rock and my car exploded into a shower of bolts exactly the same as it does when im doing 100 mph,that’s not good.level 4 and upwards is basically a chore and chores aren’t fun. online is really good,nice and smooth but if your a casual online gamer prepare to get slaughtered,if you practice online for hours and that’s your thing you will be fine. all in all the good outweighs the bad,for all the good graphics the loading times are really slow,for all the good physics the a.i. goes mental from level 4 onwards and so on and so on but its still worth a punt for 15 pounds preowned!
    Customer Review: Weird…but it is actually OK…I like it. Or do I?
    There seem to be two main tracks, one good and one that makes you cringe! The good one is a sort of rap pop…thing, without words. The bad one is…eeuurggghhhhhh! It is too bad for words! It’s a sort of intense rock piece of crud. The words (or should I say the ‘word’) are just repeated over and over again: “kieaa, kieaa, kieaa, kiaee, mastermanteey!” AARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Now for the actual game. Weird and awful and boring, but somehow, it works. It is weird because: girls butts stick out like pillows. It is awful because: you’re bike blows up and flips over because you hit a small bump. It is boring because: it is unoriginal and nothing happens… and I still like it. Why? I don’t know, but if you like weirdos on motorbikes and one moment good, another moment, bad music then get Motorstorm. I you don’t like that stuff then don’t: there’s too much of it for any of that malarkey. So if you want a simple answer, there isn’t really one to give, but the shortest way of saying this is this is rubbish, but if you enjoy laughing you’re head off at weird crud, get it anyway! It’s awful. Okay, so that may have confused you, but that’s as simple as I can make it I’m afraid. If you like stupidly weird, get it. If not, don’t. Now even I’m confused…so if anyone says it’s fantastic, don’t listen to them, but anyone says that it’s awful, don’t listen to them either… This is a bit complicated…but anyway, I’m tired. I’ve written four reviews tonight. Bye.

    Finding Nemo (GBA) Customer Review: big game 4 a lil nemo!
    wow! this is a pretty impressive game and kids will love it! i only played on this game once as it belonged to the person i baby sit for (aged 8) but i thought it was well thought out. basically u play as nemo and have lots of adventures. you swim through stars and bubbles put there for you to collect and have to dodge the spikey fish and other dangerous things and if touch them then you lose a life (get 5 altogether). there are special plants that will restore your lives when u brush against them. also by using the letter B on your gameboy you have to carry a pearl to the oyster n drop it in its mouth so it then closes and you can get past it.
    age recommendations would be a child aged between 5-12 as its fairly easy and with more time quickly completed by someone of a older age. im 14 and still found it quite enjoyable so if youre up for a fairly easy game and a laugh then this could also be for you!
    good points
    fun game, nicely thought out, follows the storyline of finding nemo, quite addictive :)
    bad points
    quite repetitive but for youngsters part of the fun

    if you like finding nemo and youre of a younger age or want a easy/fun game then buy this one!!!
    Customer Review: Its ok but it’s not addictive and its way too easy
    I totally loved the movie but for me it way too easy! its definitely aimed around the 5-9 year olds! I completed the game in around 4 days and to tell u the truth it didnt keep me that entertained! However if your looking for a pressie for a young kid then buy it but for over 11’s choose wisely!
    Happy gaming!

    Oh no! It looks like your grandad was right–things really were better in the old days. Well, they were if you liked 2-D platform games, anyway, and Yoshi’s Island is indisputably one of the best ever made.

    In a laudable attempt not to rehash its immediate forebear Yoshi’s Island goes back in time to recount the touching story of the various yoshis’ attempts to unite Baby Mario with his parents. For the first time ever in a Mario game you don’t actually control the Italian plumber-to-be but instead his dinosaur pal, who has the curious ability to eat his enemies and then immediately turn them into eggs which he can then fling at more enemies and/or politicians.

    Since Yoshi isn’t particularly fast and can float in mid-air for a few seconds after making a jump, the whole dynamics of the normal Mario gameplay have changed, but the same incredible attention to detail and endless imagination that mark all of Nintendo’s best efforts are still here in full effect. In fact they’re joined this time, after the rather plain looking prequel, by some wonderful pastel-shaded graphics that were jaw-dropping when the game was originally released in 1995 and still manage to impress now.

    As with the other Super Mario Advance titles this game also contains a four-player version of the original Mario Bros. arcade game, making it even more of a bargain than it already was. –David Jenkins

    Customer Review: The Mario-Platforming formula got a whole lot better!
    By now the name ‘Mario can only echo to the world mushrooms, evil turtles and ‘flower power’. Oh yeah and of course, the greatest video game character of all time. Yoshi’s Island is an excellent game, and the spirit of challenge and fun runs throughout from the start to the all-mighty finish! Oh, and considering the main character IS NOT MARIO but his trustworthy friend and pseudo-babysitter Yoshi; gamers can expect an experience that’s just a little bit different.

    The story has been given a little bit more thought than the previous Mario games: that is the ‘rescue the princess/ defeat King Koopa’ template. With Yoshi’s Island we are introduced to a delightful fable - the evil Koopa wizard Kamek kidnaps one of two babies carried by a stork on a long-haul delivery, Luigi is the baby who is kidnapped while baby Mario plummets down to Yoshi’s island. The Yoshis decide to work together and follow baby Mario’s instincts to baby Luigi. In the process Kamek and his minions have to be defeated who are searching the Island for baby Mario. Now, its Yoshi’s turn to dance in the spotlight, the game does take many daring turns away from other Mario games as a result.

    Yoshi’s Island seems a tongue-in-cheek approach in comparison to other Mario games. The enemies seem so OTT, that craziness can only be pulled off in the always-offbeat Mario universe! The levels are larger and trickier but without being frustratingly difficult. The equally OTT bosses are fun to destroy and the challenge is to work out their ‘Achilles heel’ with out being bumped off yourself. There is a surprising twist when actually come to defeating the final boss… you’ll just have to complete to find out what I’m talking about!As ever, simply completing levels is not enough, the Mario games take you on a journey rather than just through an entertaining game. You have to make use of all that you’ve been given resourcefully and overcome challenges that never always have the same solution. This game is more puzzle- orientated than any Mario game previously (perhaps closer to SMB 3 in approach than SMW) seen.

    So the adventure begins, and what an adventure this is! The game brings an invigorating change to the previous Super Mario World, where Yoshi was the proverbial ‘workhorse’ for the Mario brothers. Here you have Yoshis of all colours with the green Yoshi being the main dinosaur. These guys have all new moves to use against Kamek’s enemies. The most notable being Yoshi swallowing his enemies and …err… excreting them as eggs. These eggs can be used to hurl at other enemies, unreachable items and to defeat bosses. Other moves include mega-stomping the ground, temporarily flying and morphing into vehicles. Wait second, vehicles? Yes, vehicles… Yoshi can transform into a helicopter, submarine, train or a car at certain sections of levels. The morph only lasts for a shot time within which you have to collect coins, power-ups and avoid baddies. Its diversions such as these that have always added depth to Mario games, which can appear very facile to the spectator, but fun to the player. There are many bonus games to access and a myriad of secrets to find. In fact to get the most out of these you’ll inadvertently end up playing the game more than once.

    The presentation is also superb as always, with great graphics and plenty of catchy tunes. The style of Yoshi’s Island is fully realised and consistent throughout, more so than any preceding Mario game. With the variety in graphics, amazingly nothing appears out of place. The presentation may seem infantile, but wait a minute the game is centered on lost baby twins (duh!). The graphics did grow on me even more than today’s eye-blistering, 3D affairs. I loved the crayon, chalk and pencil landscapes: fooling you into thinking a child had drawn and coloured all these levels. Its not the fact that the graphics are great but the style of the game really immerses you into the varied environments of Yoshi’s Island. The audio is also clear and functional, while the music lulls you into playing the game as if you were playing with a toy. Maintaining this

    ‘universality’ of graphics and audio is another successful feature of all Mario games: it truly excels in Yoshi’s Island.

    This review, in all honesty, does not sum up how great a game Yoshi’s Island really is… there is literally so much to encounter that you’ll not be bored of this game for a considerable length of time. The game is imaginative, colourful and highly entertaining. Another great thing about this game is that it will appeal to young kids, older kids and perhaps even those who wish they were still kids. Certain parts of the game perhaps require a little bit more skill than what children can be capable of and the sexless nature of the game means girls will love it just as much as guys. Yoshi’s Island’s appeal does spread wide, and its a game that once played, goes to show just how masterful Nintendo are when it comes to creating high quality games. Made in 1996, Yoshi’s Island was eagerly awaited and breathed life into the SNES at a time when its appeal was in decline. Don’t just take my word for it, or that of the other brilliant reviews it has received. Now that the SNES no longer lives, at least it can boast to giving us one of the greatest platform games ever made.

    Customer Review: A Personal Favourite
    This is the game I’ve played most since buying a DS a few months ago. I know it’s a GBA game, but it is better - I suspect - than many games on the DS. It is certainly better than most of the DS games I’ve played so far. Though, in part that may be because I prefer the 2D perspective.

    I never realised what I was missing when I just had the GBA and somehow missed this game. But as I never got around to buying the SP version with its backlight it is probably a good thing for my eyesight that I have waited until now to discover this gem.

    Do yourself a favour - buy this game. It’s brilliant!

    Customer Review: The only book for programming the Gameboy Advance.
    The book is unavailable because Nintendo doesn’t want it released and probably threatened to sue the publishing company. The company no longer covers the book. It starts out with basic C++ programming techniques and goes through all the basics of creating games. I would recommend it for an intermediate programmer. You can get the book for free off of the Authors website. You can also buy a CD version. GREAT BUY! It covers video, audio, and very basic structural programming. Not for programmers afraid to do some math and memory address memorization. I absolutely love it.
    Customer Review: Nintendo doesn’t want this book published
    This book is taking a long time to come out because the publisher is under pressure from Nintendo not to publish it. Nintendo feels that the section on using a flash cable and flash cart (obtained from Lik-sang) will be used by people pirating games. This is of course rediculous since there is lots of information about this on the Internet that’s accessible right now. If you want to see this book published please pre-order it right now so the publisher can see the high level of interest.

    Customer Review: Too difficult and fast for people who arnt 24 hour gamers
    I enjoy games and love games like call of duty 4, but dont spend all my time on them, but the people who play this game tend to have played it all day everyday. its very difficult to get better when as soon as you enter a game, you get killed almost instantly. i dont understand how people learn to get so good if you dont get a chance to learn!? It may just be me i guess judging by the other reviews. but if you are like me and are just a guy who plays games when he is tired from work or too lazy to go out, then it will just be frustrating for you. the game play is brilliant, if there was a chance to actually have a shot a surviving it. When playing with mates multiplayer split screen its great. its alot more enjoyable. I just wish they had a virtual players where you can adjust the difficulty level. another thing is people on use the bluetooth headset and can be just rude to you when you loose which is uncalled for, coz they think there better than you coz you dont spend hours and hours playing games which is unessacary and makes it that bit worse and less fun playing. I hope this helps you decide.

    Rayovac Universal Battery Charger for Rechargeable AA, AAA, C, D, and 9-Volt Batteries The Rayovac PS3 Rechargeable Battery Universal Charger will charge any size NiMH battery. This device will recharge up to eight AA or AAA batteries; four C or D batteries; or even a single 9-Volt battery. The PS3 is perfect for high battery usage households, and it is capable of recharging batteries over 1000 times. If your family or business burns through piles of regular alkaline batteries, grab yourself a stack of NiMH rechargeables and the Rayovac PS3, and start saving money.

    Why Rechargeables
    Today’s high-drain, electronic devices demand rechargeable NiMH batteries. NiMH batteries actually last longer than alkaline batteries in most high-tech devices and they can generally be recharged up to 500 times. This high-volume rechargeability results in cost-savings that can add up to thousands of dollars. Plus, with Rayovac NiMH batteries, there are no “memory” problems — recharge your Rayovac batteries any time, even if they are only partially drained.

    Usage Tips

    • Always charge NiMH batteries before first use
    • For maximum performance, charge batteries prior to using if stored for more than one month
    • NiMH rechargeable batteries are available in AA, AAA, C, D, and 9-volt sizes
    • NiMH batteries can be disposed of with regular trash — NiMH is safe for the environment

    Customer Review: Fantastic charger
    This charger is excellent for both conventional NiMH and the new “precharged” batteries like Eneloop and Hybrio.

    The primary reason for using this charger is that the charger is exceptionally good at keeping a maintenance charge on conventional NiMH batteries. As you should know, conventional NiMH batteries lose a good amount of their charge each day and need to be kept “topped-off” for on-demand use. The “precharged” Eneloop and Hybrio don’t need this but the charger automatically senses the batteries’ needs and uses the correct maintenance charge.

    This is not a timed charger, either. Most other chargers recognize the battery as AA or AAA and charge it only a specified number of hours no matter what capacity the battery which can vary greatly from battery to battery. Even worse those other chargers keep an unchanging “maintenance current” that can quickly burn out conventional NiMH batteries. This Sanyo charger, on the other hand, is designed specifically to maintain all battery capacity types at the proper maintenance charge 24-hours per day by continuously testing the battery’s status so the batteries do not get worn out.

    You can charge one battery at a time or multiple batteries, but when charging multiple batteries each pair of batteries has to match. You can, for example, charge 2 AA, 2 AAA, and 1 AA, and 1 AAA, as long as you keep the connected batteries the same.

    An added bonus is that there is no power brick and the device never gets too hot.

    Customer Review: Great Charger
    I purchased this to recharge my “C” and “D” rechargeable batteries. It works very well and does a great job. I like the fact that it has lights which go off when the batteries are charged. It is also very easy to use. I am considering purchasing another as a gift. This was purchased to recharge batteries for my flameless candles and I have not been disappointed in its ease of use of performance thus far. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a charger that will recharge all sizes of rechargeable batteries.

    In a nutshell:
    Amongst all the games that were actually playable on the PS3 at the recent E3 event in Los Angeles this was the most impressive, both in terms of gameplay and graphics. Not only that but it’s a completely original game, not a sequel or a remake.

    The lowdown:
    Already nicknamed by some as Goddess of War, due to its apparent similarities to PS2 game God of War, the storyline of the game is unclear but it features a typically attractive and super skilled martial arts heroine as she knocks seven bells out of a stream of ninja like bad guys. The various moves look stunning, in particular an eye-watering groin attack aimed at the male enemies (the game features motion capture by Gollum and King Kong actor Andy Serkis). The E3 demo level takes place in a small, and completely destructible, arena but other test footage shows an expansive and impressively realistic looking game world to explore and demolish.

    Most exciting moment:
    Towards the end of the demo the game segues into a QTE (quick time event) sequence where you have to tap the buttons according to icons flashed onscreen, which sees you performing even more outrageous stunts and attacks.

    Since you ask:
    Developers Ninja Theory used to be known as Just Add Monsters, under which name they made comedy beat ???em-up Kung Fu Chaos for the Xbox.

    The bottom line:
    The best looking, and playing, game so far on the PS3.

    Customer Review: Is it Heavenly?
    I had high hopes for this title when I first saw it on the ps3 roster along with its description gameplay is good, visuals are to the usual standard but is the AI actually learning from you? It is not that it is a bad game or anything its that the challenge is gotten by putting as much as possible in the way rather than have you “ACTUALLY” go up against a learning AI. If they have made the AI learn then it is not very apparent. the biggest concern though is the controls, it is because of the shape of the L2 and R2 bottons that most problems are caused as most of the swords special bits and pieces are partly mapped to them and you rarely can get them to work.
    Customer Review: A turning point for gaming
    People have reported on the production values of games for some time now, but Heavenly Sword sets a brand new benchmark in quality. Before going into all of the that, though, the thing you really want from a game is that it’s fun to play. Heavenly Sword has a reasonable learning curve, but it’s not necessarily as well thought out as a Mario game, for instance. You can make your way though with some judicious button bashing, but you can also put time in to learn all the moves and really be expert in your adventure. There is no doubt that you will complete this game - it’s not one of those huge sprawling games, but to me, I like that and especially for this game where the story is so important. If this game took 100 hours to complete, there would be a lot of people who never got to the end. The game is a journey, and you WANT to reach the conclusion. Usually, the stories for games are poor and there is very little depth to the characters. In Heavenly Sword, there is real emotional engagement and character depth which goes much further into your personal investment into the storyline developments than any other game I can think of. So, the characters are well defined and resolved. In addition, the landscape is awesome. Brilliantly designed and executed, as is the music and even the extras. Usually, I would say that none of these things make a great game in themselves, and while it’s true that without all of those things, Heavenly Sword would be no more than an average game, it is the attention to detail, the scale and well resolved story and characters that make this a 5 Star game. I hope that this sets a benchmark for future PS3 titles as to date, I’ve not been thrilled with much of what’s been released. Heavenly Sword is an exceptional title and a great game to play. I don’t mind that it’s short - I can play it again and again, just like I’d watch a great film again and again. Try the game - it’s the best I’ve played on the PS3 so far.

    Customer Review: Works just fine in Vista, too!
    I bought this with the intention of using it on my PS3 as well as my computer running Vista. Since this keyboard doesn’t come with a Bluetooth adaptor for my computer, I ordered one on eBay for 99 cents. After I ordered all this, I started reading some reviews that said the keyboard was difficult to get working in Vista.

    Well, my el-cheapo Bluetooth adaptor from eBay came in today. I plugged it into a USB port, Vista installed some drivers, I turned on the Cordless Mediaboard Pro, hit the “Reset” button on the bottom, and viola! Vista recognized it with no problem.

    I think the problem some people may be having is that you can’t have a Bluetooth device paired with two separate systems at the same time, so after you pair it with the PS3, its not paired with the computer anymore, and vise-versa.

    Anyway, hope this helps anyone in their buying decision, as I know first-hand that this keyboard DOES WORK with Vista just fine. The media keys don’t work, but the keyboard and the touchpad (including the touch scroll) work perfectly.

    Customer Review: XBOX 360 Toxic Faceplate Skin
    The skin itself looks great. It goes and comes off very easily. It just takes some time to get the skin on perfect, but don’t worry if you mess up you can just take it off and re-adjust it. I also recommend getting the whole set for the whole 360 because it looks kind of awkward with just the white plastic on the sides. Also see my Customer Pictures?.

    Customer Review: Good Game for Toddlers
    I bought this game for my 4 year old son as a present, and both he and I were excited to get it… But, as my son already plays games like Mario World, Dora, Donkey Kong, et cetera, he was a ittle bit too advanced for this game. If your child is new to the game system, this is a good starter one, as it focuses on a lot of hand and eye coordination. Overall, the game was a good buy, just a little bit too young for my son who is already advanced in the gaming world.
    Customer Review: great musical fun
    I got this for my 4 year old son who is very musically inclined and he just loves the music that is used and I love how much he’s learning about classical music. I recommend this game to anyone who has children that are fans of the TV show.

    Customer Review: Swords, Magic, and Incredible Graphics
    Golden Sun The Lost Ages is by far a very impressive game. The graphics on it are incredible by GBA standards. The battles are very unique with the play style espically when using summons since they don’t require Magic Points (MP) in order to use them. The story is filled with many twist and turns, the puzzles are very challengeing and the fighting animations are spot on. Definatly get this new or used.
    Customer Review: MUST BUY!
    This sequal is bloody amazing! The plot is down right amazing that is if you have played the first one through. The characters are well developed. Sound is alright. The battle system is straight forward and the world maps are great. Puzzles are not to strainful. I can not put into words how amazing this game is. You will just have to take my word on it and BUY THIS GAME. Unless you are an adventure/ rpg type then don’t buy this game. If you are I really do doubt you will be disappointed.

    Customer Review: Pleasing, but a bit too easy.
    I got this game thinking it would be nice and challenging,unfortunately I was wrong!I completed the game (and the special world)in two days flat! the gameplay well,the mini-games are fun but a bit easy and I found all the bosses to easy. overall I would rate this great but not realy a must-buy.
    Customer Review: A bit surprising
    When I was about 5 I was dissapointed in spyro the dragon, because of his gay even naughty color of his skin. Then I got introduced to Crash Bandicoot. I was freakin’ in love with those games. I mean like, who could ignore the really cool wumpa fruit Bazuka? Now lets get to the review. First of all I’m warning you this is no ordinary Crash game. In fact this game doesn’t move up in the actual game. You have to compete in mini games to get to the next level. Now the mini games are still fun but it doesn’t compete with the first 3. my reasons are 1) The graphics are alot different. 2) Spyro is in it (for 1 level you fight him, now that was enjoyable.) 3) Crash actually gets to ride a bat while shooting the Bazuka. Get the game even if you hate the living daylights out of it. Why? Who WOULDN’T PUT THIS IN THEIR COLLECTION AND SAY “GOSH, I HAVE ALL THE CRASH GAMES. See my other reveiws on Mortal Kombat (I’m the one who says it isn’t bloody) and The Legend of Zelda: Classic NES series (I’m the only kid who wrote a reveiw for it.) And last and not least The Day After (no not the day after tommorow, it’s the one with the nuclear war. The review should be easy to spot because I’m the first and only kid to write a reveiw about it.)

    Customer Review: Dead Rechargeables.
    I have now purchased three rechargeable batteries. At first I was extremely happy with my rechargeable batteries. Plug them into your 360 and the next day they were recharged. I’ve had two of them for over a year and now they don’t ever want to charge up. They only last for about two hours before they die. I can honestly say I will not purchase another set. This is pathetic a one year life on rechargeable batteries. I don’t like the idea that I have to buy new rechargeable batteries every year.

    GBA SP Classic NES Edition
    At first look, you might think the Game Boy Advance SP is a sleek travel alarm clock; when closed, it’s just as tall and deep as the original GBA, but only half as wide. Its clamshell design protects the screen from everyday scratches. Open it up and the hinge will seek out a preferred, pre-set angle (about 150 degrees), though you can open it a bit wider or narrower for your own comfort. The hinge stands up well to lateral pressure.

    Many decried the original GBA’s reflective LCD screen and its reliance on external light sources. The Game Boy Advance SP’s main feature–optional built-in lighting–fixes this complaint nicely. The quality of the backlighting is very good; it’s bright and clear when looking directly at the screen, though less so from other angles.

    The SP comes with a power adapter that recharges a built-in lithium battery; our informal tests found that it takes about four hours to fully charge (you can play it while it’s plugged in and charging), and the battery lasts about 11 hours with the backlighting constantly on. Using the backlighting less often will conserve battery power.

    Size, power, and affordability don’t come without trade offs, though. There’s no headphone jack here–you’ll need a separately sold adapter–and the system isn’t very loud at its highest volume. The L and R shoulder buttons are a fraction of the size they were on the GBA, and thus are harder to hit, and the reduced size of the SP is slightly less comfortable for adult hands than the GBA. The cartridge port placement on the lower part of the console is fine for GBA games, since they are flush with the console body, but older Game Boy Color carts will stick out in a way that takes some getting used to.

    Overall, the SP is a significant improvement on, and seems just as rugged as, its predecessor–which has proven to be very rugged indeed. –Porter B Hall

    Customer Review: Oh boy I wish I still had mine!
    I sold my GBA SP Classic NES edition to help pay for my Nintendo DS. I really like the DS but oh boy do I miss this beauty of a machine.

    Let’s get the moans out of the way, yes the GBA SP only had a front light and not a proper back light so the screen isn’t as colourful as the DS. And yes, you had to pay extra for an adapter if you wanted to use headphones. But stuff that, this thing is amazing and I miss my old one!

    So why was it so good? Well the design was spot one. I get finger burn and cramps from my DS light and my PSP when I try to play racing games, never got any pain from the GBA SP. Also this was the last portabl console to have the traditional Gameboy style layout of control buttons under the screen (instead of either side like the Lynx, GG, GBA, Neo Geo, DS & PSP). For some reason I find this layout better, don’t ask me why it just is. Some truths are as unedinable as they are unquontifiable!

    Next up: the NES design is a winner, easily the best looking console I’ve owned. The DS lite is sleek but this baby had charm. The light weight clam shell design is very small indeed and easily fits into any pocket I ever had. Also the battery life took a mighty wacking on many occassions.

    But the main reason I loved this console was the games. The great titles just kept coming and coming. I was getting a soar neck from trying to angle my old GBA under a lamp to see them. The GBA SP meant I could actually enjoy my games without hurting myself, which I think you will agree makes a nice bonus!

    Advance Wars, Mario Golf Advance, Sonic Advance, FIre Emblem, Metroid Fusion, Wario Ware Twisted, Aria of Sorrow, Golden Sun and Astro Boy are as good as the best any system has to offer. In fact I argue that the GBA has a lot more AAA titles then the N64, the Cube, the Xbox or any of the current gen consoles. I still play many of the GBA RPGs and SRPGs on my DS as they are yet to be bettered. But some how they doesn’t quite feel the same as they did on the GBA SP NES edition. If you’ve got one KEEP IT!

    Customer Review: one of the best!
    I bought one of these the day it was released and I had so much fun with it and had some cracking games for it, notably Zelda! The handheld looks gorgeous, even today, its light and can easily store it in your pocket when not using it! I sadly no longer had it as I got a psp and a DS Lite, and I got to say, for a upgrade from the GBA SP, you got to get the DS Lite, as that can play the GBA games too as well as the many great DS titles that are available to own, but the GBA is still a greta buy today if you just want a handheld with no special features like touch screen. The GBA has a lot of games from all different types to offer and so you can’t go wrong with this beauty!
