Remote Remote

Advantages: Good Features. Well Made
Disadvantages: A little expensive

...As mentioned in my review of the Wii Nunchuck I have had my Wii for a few weeks but haven?t had chance to review it so am starting with the peripherals. The Wii uses wireless controllers (it was the first games console to do this) that communicate with the main console via bluetooth. Unfortunately the Wii only comes with a single controller and as the main fun with the Wii comes from playing against friends and family I immediately purchased a second controller for £29.99 (it is hard to find them cheap anywhere on line or the high street). The controller is white plastic (the same as the Wii itself) styled like a small TV remote and is solidly made and feels even more so when the 2 AA batteries are put in. The remote which has a wrist strap (to prevent it flying from your hand and smashing your TV or other fragile items when you...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Remote - game pad

Wii Remote Controller

Advantages: Innovation, Responsiveness
Disadvantages: Price, Ease Of Use

...I purchased the Nintendo Wii after weeks of searching the internet for a shop that hadnt sold out and once i found one available i bought it immediately. The package came with Wii sports and a remote controller and i have to say that i was quite impressed. The controllers work well with the console and in particular with wii sports. The biggest issue that i have with the remote is the battery issue. Whilst the batteries do last a long time when installed, to keep replacing them costs a fortune. I also have had this problem with my xbox 360 wireless controllers and would recommend anybody who was buying the controllers to also consider a quick charge kit to accompany it. The unit is very responsive and works very well, this depends on where you put the sensor that is supplied with the wii so make sure that you read the manual carefully...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Remote - game pad

Wii Remote

Advantages: Great product, allows for playability
Disadvantages: None

...The Wii Remote My husband and I love our Wii machine and have had it for two years plus now and have still not tired of it. When we first bought the machine it came with two Wii remote which are basically essential pieces of kit because this is what allows you to play all the games. A Wii remote is basically the games controller and works by using motion sensing capability. The great thing about the Wii controller is that you don?t have to plug it in so it really lends itself to the interactive game play that is the beauty of the Wii itself. I hate it when you have to plug a remote in as it means you are really tied to the spot you are playing. With the Wii remote you can walk around and it gives you room to perfect your tennis backhand or golf swing for example. A Wii remote is approximately 7 inches long and about 2 inches...

Review of Nintendo Wii Remote

Wii Remote

Advantages: Clever technology real life gaming
Disadvantages: starp issue

...Now after seeing the WII in use at my local shopping mall i had to have one, Xmas arrived i opened up my presants and ther eit was my WII very excitedly i got it out the box and proceded to play, It was simply amazing fun but playing on my own was limited. This is where this product comes in the spare wireless remote. Now on first impressions its looks more like u are going to change channels with it that play tennis, gold,bowling to name a few. However this is the simplicity of the wii controller it isn't much more than this. You have 3 menu buttons to navigate u which are home (takes u back to menu) + & - to change menu you have the power on Button You have the directional pad for looking up down left and right. then you have the 4 gaming buttons which have different uses dependant on what game your playing...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Remote - game pad

I hate Bush!

Advantages: Internet option could have been a good point.
Disadvantages: Gimmicky, poorly designed, heavy.

...We purchased the Bush Internet Portable Television two years ago for the meagre sum of £99. We were only after a portable TV for the bedroom at the time but this was in the same price range as other models with the added feature of Internet access so as that rather irritating advert says, "Why pay the same for less?" The Bush Internet TV in packaged in a worryingly heavy box, dragging the television out of its annoying polystyrene carton you are confronted by what can only be described as a space age style portable television. In fact it looks like a deformed helmet for Neil Armstrong. This is re-enforced by its metallic silver, curved, bubble style. It is all very 1970's. Setting up the television appears to be easy. According to the step-by-step instructions simply plug in the hoop aerial, plug into the wall and use the remote to...

Review of Bush Internet Tv

Pleasantly Surprised by a Bush

Advantages: Good picture & sound, easy to use controls.
Disadvantages: Takes a few seconds to "warm-up".

...and that was disappointing. So disappointing that I returned it to the store where I bought it within days, because it went ?bang? and didn?t even work badly any more. I got a refund. So if it hadn?t been for using this model in the holiday home, I probably would have been too prejudiced against Bush to consider it. ** The Good Points ** It was easy to set up. Good picture quality. The speakers on both sides of the screen produce good quality sound. Although it is advertised as a mono TV, the fact that the sound comes from two different speakers, especially helps the 2 members of my family with mild hearing problems appreciate it. The top of the TV is designed to have a free view box on top of it. The remote control is easy to use, and we got used to it quicker than usual. Also the controls on the front of the TV are...

Review of Bush DVD154TV

Look At My Bush!

Advantages: Great price, clear screen, good sound
Disadvantages: A brand with not a great reputation or public knowledge

..., it did this in less than two minutes and even tuned the basic channels in to the right numbers. Often, I've had to spend ages after the telly has tuned itself in so that I can have BBC1 on channel one, and so on; not so with this TV, everything was correctly tuned the first time and there was no need for messing. In the top right corner of the remote control a button marked TV/DTV allows you to slip between the normal analogue broadcasts and the digital Freeview reception built in to this unit. As long as you have a suitable aerial on your property and are in an area of digital TV reception (which the majority of us are these days), then this Bush TV will quickly have you connected to full, widescreen digital reception and the quality change is palpable. The imagery on this screen is simply excellent for the manufacturer...

Review of Bush IDPDP42TV008

Who'd a thought I'd go for Bush?

Advantages: The machine will switch on.
Disadvantages: Where do I start?

...through ? or rather their warehouse stock levels didn?t come through. I was torn between other brands, but went for the Bush (triple gasp) after reading a review that said it was good. So?after bringing home my very light box full of Bush TVness, with a rather snazzy carry handle and weighing a cool 7.5kg, I popped it out of it?s box and started getting set up. What?s in the box: A flat screen TV (?phew) wrapped in plastic, a remote control, batteries, an audio cable (which I haven?t found any use for, unless some can enlighten me?), an instruction manual and a quick set up instruction manual?as well as muchos polystyrene and polystyrene crumbs. My first reaction was how smart it looked, considering it isn?t all black and glossy (a la sexy Samsung). Along the bottom of the TV is a silver strip, which looks after the speakers. I quite...

Review of Bush LY2211WCW

Nintendo Wii remote

Advantages: Durable and Sleek
Disadvantages: Wired to the Nunchuck controller, battery powered.

...With the release of the Nintendo Wii, controller design was always going to be an integral part of the console. As a result, Nintendo have opted for the sleek approach, no bigger than an average TV remote. Working in tandem with the Wii Sensor Bar (which comes with the console), it allows for the gamer to point and use the remote as if they were in the game. This review is mainly to give pointers with many questions and queries often asked about the remote, as well as offering basic information about the use of the controller. The controllers work using AA Batteries (though an AAA battery adapter was provided in my Wii bundle) and this can be quite expensive especially if this console is played on very regularly. I recommend that Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries are purchased in order to get the full potential of the product. This...

Brilliant Bush

Advantages: 'Wuthering Heights' and 'Babooshka' are classics
Disadvantages: may be a bit inaccessible for some

...Recently, viewers of VH1 had the opportunity to vote for who they thought were the best female singers ever. In typical contemporary list-compiling style, modern artists like Anastacia and Nelly Furtado were deemed to be better than the likes of Billie Holliday and Dionne Warwick, whilst 21 year old Britney Spears was riding high in the Top 10, mixing it with Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner. The only British artists to accompany Britney et al in the crème de la crème was Kate Bush, a somewhat surprising appearance for an artist notorious in keeping a low profile, and who hasn't released a song in 8 years. Born in 1958, she burst onto the scene as a teenager in the late 70's and has made seven studio albums. The highlights from the five can be found on this compilation, 'The Whole Story', which was first released in 1986...
