Apple need to pull their finger out
0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Does exactly what it says
Cons: Over priced
The Nano suffers from the same problem that most Apple goods suffer from: a huge price tag. It costs roughly $100 to make a Nano, yet consumers aer suckered into paying more than twice that. The device works exactly as it should, but you're paying too much for it. ...

0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Big maps
Cons: Controls can be awkward
THUG Remix is a great game that you can just keep coming back to. The maps are huge and there are plenty of challenges to keep you interested. The soundtrack is pretty cool, but could do with a little work. ...

Good start for EA
1 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Custiomize cars
Cons: Boring courses
Plenty of options for you cars, but that's really about it for this game. The driving is ok, and the audio is ok. The control feels pretty good but still needs work. However, having said that, it is fun to play. ...

The best game ever
1 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: So much fun its wrong
Cons: Poor graphics
While the graphics are terrible and the sound quality is just ok, the gameplay makes up. A whole city to be bad in. Drive it, shoot it and screw it. What more could you ask for? ...

The ultimate handheld
Pros: Wireless gameplay
Cons: Control isn't the best ever
Everyone loves the PSP and rightly so. You can watch movies, browse the internet, play games and use it to transfer files. However, I'm finding that my hands are a little too big for the machine which means my hand starts to ache if I play a game for longer than an hour. ...

Terrible machine
1 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: It's made by Microsoft
Cons: The machine
I've not enjoyed a single game on this machine. The graphics are an improvement over the original xbox, but not enough to get too excited about. The audio in the games I've played seems ok, but none of the developers seem to be using it to it's full extent. The controller feels terrible in my hands and.
Oh, the ditactable hard drive is a cool idea. ... -

Amazing little camera
4 of 5 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Small and well made
Cons: Expensive
While you do pay through the nose for the camera, it is actually a pretty good buy. It should last you a good few years and due to the large image size you're sure not to be left behind as technology improves. The camera comes with a lot of supporting software that you really don't need, but it's good to have the option should you need it.
I found that I had problems with the red reduction, but to be fair, I've yet to find a camera that handles this very well. ... -

Good value from Dell
11 of 12 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Cheap
Cons: Not great for games
This is a fantastic deal. Great entry level PC for people that want to get online, create office documents, edit photos etc. It's lack of graphical power makes playing some of the later games tough, but ultimately a wonderful starter machine. ...

Poor quality
2 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: cost effective
Cons: Low quality visual output
This is a bargain for those that want to trade off quality output and save some money, Personally I took mine back after a week and have been very happy with the blu-ray I got from Samsung instead. ...
