What's happened to the volume?
New Apple iPod classic 160GB - Black

I bought one of these, the latest 8th gen model, despite warnings from other reviewers on Amazon that it now had a cap on volume, which I really didn't want; yes, I know, I had to hear it for myself. It's true, the maximum volume has been reduced by about 30%. This is a problem when listening to quiet music such as...

Review Xbox LIVE Gold 12-Month Membership Card (Xbox 360)

 

Essential

Xbox live is probably one of the best things about owning an Xbox 360. The system is so effective that I'd have been happy even if the visual capabilities of the console weren't so good.
So what's so great about Live then? Well, for anyone who's played PC games online, you'll know that you have to create an account for every single one of...

Best way to join is through Amazon
There are a large number of reviews out there of XBox Live Gold written by serious and dedicated gamers of which I am most certainly not one. However, Microsoft are clearly trying to expand the capabilities of the XBox beyond that of the gaming community as the recent changes to the XBox dashboard have shown and which will, I suspect, be greatly enhanced by the...

Review Samsung RF711 17.3 inch Laptop - Black

Flawless.
I have had no issues with this laptop as of yet - having had it for coming up to three weeks. I have no qualms with the resolution, sound etc. which have been mentioned on other reviews (some on other websites). If this is a laptop you don't plan on having generally hooked up to A/C power you may be in a little trouble though - as I've noticed that the battery seems to...

Probably no SATA bug (retraction)
I originally said in this review that "this laptop's optical drive bay --- not the Blu-Ray drive shipped in it, but the bay --- is likely to fail (outside the warranty period) due to an Intel design flaw" (the infamous Sandy Bridge SATA problem).

Having investigated further, I now think I said that in haste, and retract it with apologies to those it may have...

Reviews Sony Wireless Stereo Headset (PS3)

Buy them, don't think - buy.
By no means am I an audiophile, nor will I accept something if it isn't worth the money I paid for it.

I wanted a state of the art 7.1 surround sound system in my living room to compliment my PS3 and atmospheric titles such as Battlefield 3 & Skyrim. I think it's only fitting that if you're going to splash out on the visuals in a HDTV, then it's only right to...

total failure of the headset!!
As usually amazon is amazing by the speed of posting and packaging,so no complaints about it,but as about the official sony ps3 headset ,my opinion is that sony totally failed with these headphones.Im so dissapointed because as i did read reviews of other people saying that the voice is amazing,i have to say are you kidding me,its totally rubbish the way it sounds,low...

Reviews Apple iPod nano 16GB - Graphite - 6th Generation

 Best Ipod Yet
Most of the Mp3 players I have owned have been of the Apple brand, which have been- The ipod mini, 2nd Gen Nano and 3rd Gen Apple. With my 3rd gen ipod reaching the end of its lifespan and my cd collection out growing my Ipods capacity I was looking to buy a new Ipod.

Now I'm not stupid enough to waste my money on the Ipod classic or an Ipod touch (might as...

Tiny but with poor sound quality
I bought this because I thought the size would be great for carrying around, the trouble is the screen is probably a bit too small for easy touch control, but overall the device is well designed with a logical menu structure.

Now to the important bit and were it all starts to go wrong, try hooking this upto a decent pair of headphones and the sound quality...

Review HP Compaq Presario CQ57-420EA 15.6 inch Laptop PC

Great laptop, very good value for money, incredible delivery, (I live in Greece) Free. Does what it says on the box. For anybody wondering as I was, whether it comes with the "optional" webcam etc. it does.

Review Sony PlayStation 3 Slim Console

Buyer Beware
PS3 is a great product however be aware they haven't solved the reliabilty problems I bought a PS3 slim in 2010 and it has already developed a fault, it shuts down after about 15 minutes of gameplay. I have researched this on the internet and am not the only one to have suffered this failure which many believe to be a power supply fault. :-(

It's a beast of a system!
POSITIVES

* Free, functional and efficient online gaming service

* The sheer amount of high quality PS3 exclusive games. Despite what certain groups might try to say to have you think otherwise, the fact is these games are truly the games that push the limits of all console gaming within the industry and that all these games are only found on the PS3...

Review Kindle Touch

An Honest Review of the Kindle Touch
I've been a Kindle owner since the very old and chunky Kindle 2 device. Here's my personal pros and cons on the new Kindle Touch:

PROS ON THE KINDLE TOUCH:

1) Smaller and lighter than my previous Kindle Keyboard model. Dispensing with the physical keyboard and using an on-screen keyboard has saved a lot of space. This makes it nice and light to hold...

Not worth an upgrade
I will be forever grateful to my Kindle Keyboard 3G as it reintroduced me into the world of reading. Therefore, I was really looking forward to receiving the upgraded Kindle Touch. There are, however, some really disappointing features that have left me feeling somewhat let down by the product. The most annoying one is the search engine. Whereas the keyboard version lets...
