Is the Sony card really worth it?

Advantages: Good opening offer
Disadvantages: Need to spend a lot to earn points/ Send you credit card cheques

...The Sony Card is an American Express credit card from MBNA. It is basically a reward card earning you one Sony Pulse Beat for every pound you spend (triple points if you buy Sony products). The trick is to find a link where you are guaranteed points as soon as you sign up. If you go through Sony site you will only receive 4000 points but I got it through a link on moneysavingexpert (see earlier review) with 8200 points but this now seems to have been withdrawn. The basics are as follows but should be checked on the website 0% pa on balance transfers for 12 months (3% handling fee) 0% pa on card purchases for 3 months 15.9% APR (typical rate) No annual fee You can access your account on line and there are competitions and you can sign up to an enewsletter to receive exclusive offers and the latest product info. Here are...

Get a sexy card and free Sony stuff too

Advantages: Free Pulse Beats, exclusive monthly competitions to win amazing prizes, efficient and friendly customer service
Disadvantages: APR could be more competitive

...The best thing with SonyCard is that you can save up PulseBeats (loyalty points) and get some free Sony stuff! Whether you want to save for a free CD or a DVD player, this is the credit card for you! You receive one PulseBeat per pound spent, so the more money you spend, the quicker you can get free Sony stuff. Also whenever you buy a Sony product you get triple PulseBeats. This is great if you buy a lot of TriStar Columbia DVDs, Playstation games, or Sony Music CDs, or even a widescreen Sony TV as you will receive a lot of PulseBeats quickly. There are also exclusive monthly "Dream Draws", where you have the chance to win 'money-can't-buy' holidays and Sony stuff like that cool robot dog AIBO. In the past they've offered trips to the Oscars ceremony and a VIP trip to the Monaco Grand Prix. They gave me 1300 free PulseBeats when my...

  iPod Touch 8GB

Advantages: intuitive, stylish, fun, great music player, variety of features, internet function
Disadvantages: fingerprints! no camera, no built in speakers, only available in black currently

... 8GB iPod Touch As my boyfriend's birthday approached, I was panicking as to what to get him as men are a nightmare to shop for and I really wanted to get something exciting. I noticed that he kept borrowing my ipod nano and initially planned to get him one of his own but on the Apple website I saw the ipod touch and worked out that if I got him that then I could steal it and use it! From the Apple website, the 8GB iPod Touch cost me £199 with free postage and packing and a free optional engraving. I thought this was a reasonable price it was nice and simple to order it online. I chose the free engraving option and this enabled me to have a two line engraving on the back (top centre) of the ipod. Obviously, it is a very good idea to check your spelling at this point as the ipod cannot be returned due your mistakes when...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

Goodd idea for sony fans..

Advantages: Loyalty scheme, special offers, special rates
Disadvantages: APR is higher than some others

...I admit, I got this card for the reason that. From the advertisement I saw online, it came with a free walkman, & I at that time needed one.... However, when the card arrived, I decided to keep it, and have yet to claim anything from the pulsebeats. Pulsebeats are Sonycard's loyalty scheme. You get 1 pulsebeat for every pound spent, and you receive a catalogue where you can send for different sonly products when you have collected enough points. These include CD's, DVD's, and Sony electronic equipment. Currently when you apply for a Sonycard, you receive 2000 pulsebeats, which will buy you a CD, for example Beyonce's Dangerously in love is 1600 pulsebeats. It's not the best loyalty scheme, as it is limited, but its nice getting something back for your spending. Most people will find something they like in the catalogue. You...

Ipod Touch 8Gb with engraving

Advantages: All the features of the iphone but without the massive price tag
Disadvantages: battery life could be better

...--Background-- I bought the iPod touch for my son for his 10th birthday. Before he alerted me to the item I knew nothing at all about it. Having played around with it for a few hours, I can now see what all the fuss is about as this item is so addictive. The touch comes in 3 guises, namely 8Gb, 16Gb and 32Gb versions. These are all identical apart from, obviously the storage capacity. --In the box-- I must admit that then the box came, I thought half the order had been missed as it is minute! Along with the ipod itself, you get the headphones, a usb to pc charger and a quick setup guide. Although this seem very little, it is actually enough to get you up and running in next to no time. As we bought this direct from the Apple store we were entitlted to free engraving on the back of the device. We took the decision to have his...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

THE 8GB MUSIC PLAYER.

Advantages: LARGE MEMORY, SOUND OUTPUT AND LONG BATTERY LIFE.
Disadvantages: : FRAGILE IN LOOKS.

...the I pod touch makes it quite a different and unique. The I pod touch is capable of storing large capacity of information well what actually do you think of a device that that has 8gb memory space. Like I wrote above, it is capable of 1500 to 1700 songs and on the other hand, capable of storing 10,000 pictures and also capable of playing video for the duration of 10 hours. In terms of videos, you can equally upload videos just like in music. You can upload movie but the issue with it is that the more you videos you put, the less you space In the music section, we have many categories like the album, artist, song title and genre these are the categories that make it very possible for you to make easy selections of your music. But what I don't like about the device is lack of external loudspeaker so it then means that if by mistake you...

ps2 memory cards

Advantages: store game data fast to memory cards, small and slim design
Disadvantages: can't save game data to any other format

...The playstation 2 console and also the playstation 1 console accept small devices that store data called Memory Cards. For the Playstation 2 console the memory card is a small rectangle plastic card that can hold up to 8MB of game data. The data is usually saved game files. Information that is stored in the game files is information such as position in game, completion percentage and things like that. A memory card is a crucial device for the playstation 2, because without it you could not keep any records of where you are up to in the game. This is because the Playstation 2 console uses CDs (Compact Discs) and DVD (Digital Versatile Discs) to store games on; CDs and DVD have no means of changing data on them, they only permit read only access. The good thing about the PS2 memory cards is that they are small and compact...

Apple itouch 8GB

Advantages: Stylish, easy to use, large storage, good features, wi-fi
Disadvantages: Long to switch on/off, browser can be slow, may freeze at times

...Having gone from a normal 4GB ipod to an 8GB itouch, I was pleasantly surprised with the major difference from the normal ipod to itouch. The itouch offers the users with an array of different features I never thought could be possible for a MP3/4 player. Its Wi-Fi capabilities allow its users to keep up-to-date with the latest news, music and events by using the built in web browser to search for any categories the users pleases. The "Maps" features allows users to find directions to their destination so they always find their way home. The ability to search and play YouTube video is a good feature that no one can get bored of. Away from the extra features, the stored MP3s can be found and played a lot more easily with the touch screen feature and are of high quality. Due to its 8GB storage space, the ability to upload and photos to...

8GB Ipod Touch

Advantages: Wii-fi support, touch screen display, ease of use
Disadvantages: quite pricey, output through headphones just, unless you by a docking station

...One things for sure Ipods are getting more popular by the day as more features and different designs are being introduced to these almost everyday necessities. I purchased the 8gb version 3 months or so back and ive been really please with it. It stands out from the rest as it has a large screen for viewing videos and photo's, but not only that it has the built in touch sensitive display which is very easy to use and im sure very popular. It has also introduced the new wii-fi so that you can connect to a wireless connection whether it be from the comfort of your home or in a coffee shop etc. when you go to i-tunes ur music and files can be transferred to your ipod within seconds though videos take a bit longer. All in all id say this product is worth investing in if you have a spare £180....
