Numark Axis 9 The best value cd deck for rookies and bedroom Djs

Advantages: Consistent, All main effects (scratch + key lock that WORKS)
Disadvantages: No built in memory

...I dj 2-3 times a week and often take my equipment in and out of venues so I need equipment that is durable and reliable. Ive had a pair of axis 9's for a few years now. They have turned out to be quite reliable and consistent where more expensive models weren't .. very important if you dj'ing at a gig. If you are a laptop Dj the Axis 9's works fine with all the major software, VDJ, Rockit, Traktor etc. There are some new features on the axis 9's along with all the standard feature on the axis series. Pitch-lock (called key-lock on numarks) is one of the most useful features I use and in my opinion axis 9's do this much better than others in a similar price range like 1200DZ or CDJ 200. They have very decent effects that are really easy to use, most notably, the scratch function which is a direct improvement from previous models like...

Numark CDX

Advantages: Turntable style CD player better than a turntable
Disadvantages: reliability

...The Numark CDX is one of the best profesional CD players on the market. their reliability raise some questions but as an over all there great. its the closest you can get to a vinyl turntable the CD player works and looks just like the numark TT direct drive turntable, with 2 start stop buttons and start up speed and break controls and programable pitch controls so you can set it up to feel like almost any turntable you have used before. you can scratch just like on a real turntable with added features to only play a part of the scratch, the forward or backward part. The unit also comes complete with effects built in. the effects range from filter to sonar and are controled with a jog wheel for smooth effect ranges. you can chop, slide, ptich bend, filter and sonar (like phazer)and even play the cd backwards with one touch...

Review of Numark CDX CD Player

Playstation 3

Advantages: Easy to control
Disadvantages: Can't play normal dvds

...launched earlier because this is an excellent console. Maybe they had years putting the features. Playstation 3's media is Blu-ray Disc,dvd,cd and Super Audio CD. Its system storage is 2.5" SATA hard drive(20 GB, 40 GB, 60 GB, or 80 GB. The colours for Playstation 3 are black and silver, Playstation 3 is written in silver, some of the edges are in silver too(where you insert the disk) and the console is all covered in black. Black suits the Playstation and is more attractive than the silver, Playstation 3 can play DVDs, blu ray, music CDs and many more, this console is much more better than Playstation 2 and Playstation 1, Playstation 1 is crap and Playstation 2 standing out by the Playstation 3, Playstation 3 has a shorter name it is PS3 like it's written on the ps3. Accessories The accessories are the sixaxis controller...

Numark PHX

Advantages: wires and ear cups can be changed and amazing quality for the price
Disadvantages: ear cups not very comfy and crackles when very loud

...The Numark PHX headphones are ideal for anybody wishing to have high quality headphones without paying a price too high. From my own experience I have found these headphones to be ideal for DJ'ing. For the price they are sold it, the quality of the headphones is very high. A good feature for the Numark headphones is the wires and ear cups, which can be changed. This comes in useful for different situations. The only downside of these headphones is the small crackle when they are pushed to the very top of the sound level. However this is only a downside for those people who have the headphones unbelievably loud. Another accessory included in the headphones box is the carry case to move the headphones around. The only thing I could think of for improvement of these headphones is for the ear cups to be a bit more of a comfy fit to the head...

Review of Numark PHX

Playstation 3

Advantages: Graphics, playability, blu-ray player!
Disadvantages: None

...I have been umming and arring over which colsole to buy, the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. I had heard a lot of positive things about the Xbox, and I had also heard that graphics wise and gaming wise the Xbox was slightly better than the Playstation 3. However, I eventually decided to go for the Playstation 3 for several reasons. Firstly, and probably mainly, was because of the recent decision to cancel production of the HD-DVD format (a format which the Xbox 360 is developed to play), meaning that the Blu-Ray dvd format ( a format that the Playstation 3 is developed to play) will dominate the High Definition DVD market in the near future. Secondly, last year, the PS3's Blu-ray DVD player was voted best High Definition DVD player on the market. A DVD player that would have set you back over £250 to buy on it's own, but by buying...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Playstation 3

Advantages: Great graphics and choice of games
Disadvantages: expensive

...I got one last year for Christmas and found it to be better than my XBox 360 in almost every area, in my opinion this truly is the best games console on the market and would recommend it to anyone who is into their gaming. The graphics are phenomenal and the range of games available is tremendous! I find the controllers are much easier and more comfortable to use than the other consoles on the market today i.e. xbox 360s controller has no area for the hands to get a grip of and is quite frankly annoying especially when using after the playstation 3, the rechargable controller function is a tremendous help as i was always buying batteries and having the hassle of inserting them into the xbox and now i simply plug into the playstation console and the charges up no problem, i can even use the controller while its charging! i would...

PS3 slim

Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation
Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live

...Well, had the slim for a few weeks now (my 1st ever playstation), personally, I'm a little underwhelmed by it, I've been a gamer since the nintendo game & watch days & owned @ least 1 of the current gen consoles since the Mega Drive(Genesis). Graphically the system has the potential to wipe the floor with the 360, but this is really only going to apply to PS3 exclusives as any software house making a multi-platform game is going to be as cost effective (lazy) as possible & use the same graphics on all the games where possible(ok, they need to dumb them down for the Wii). My problem here is that I have yet to get a game for it that runs in 1080P, they all seem to be in 720P! Why???? I'm sure they are out there, but I haven't found one yet. I guess this is down to most HD tv's being HD ready rather than Full HD. Sound-Yeah, ok...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (PS3)

PS3, for you and me?

Advantages: Stylish, good games available + lots more on the way, blu ray
Disadvantages: No HD cable in the box, no rumble, limited BC

.... If you insert an audio CD or Blu Ray movie they will show up under the relevant tabs. If you have a media centre PC and configured it there is an option to search for media servers where your PS3 will display all compatible media. The last function is a handy playlist where you can save a list of all your favourite music and photos for easy access. The Game tab is where you will go to access your games (well duh!) and manage your game data. Blu Ray games and downloaded demos will show up here with a handy preview often featuring music and images from the game you have chosen (this is similar to the PSP). Downloaded content is also removable from this tab if you no longer want it and need space on your hard drive. An option to create a virtual memory card on your hard drive for PS1 and PS2 games is present thoug the PS2 option is...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)

Advantages: Best Entertainment System Avaliable, Region free games only
Disadvantages: 4GB file limitation External Storage, Cant read NTFS

....99 Can be purchased at http://www.gamestation.co.uk/cat.asp?cat=playstation3&t=hardware PS3 60GB £350 in most retail shops RRP PS3 game £49.99 now I don't thing you can get a better deal that this. Games will also be cheap as the PS3 is region free which means you can buy games from America and use them on any PS3. OVERVIEW I found it very simple to get the PS3 out of the box and connect it to the tv, and it was just as easy to make it detect my HD TV and HDMI connection as all i had to do was go on the display options then it would detect it. When i first turned on the PS3 i looked and thought there were so many options as the PS2 all u did was put a cd in and play. But after few days i got to know the menu well and it was easy to use. I found that it was very easy to find what i want as the options were easy to...

The Great PS3

Advantages: Graphics, Network, Blu Ray, Wireless Controllers
Disadvantages: Small Hard Drive

...The Best Console on the market. When first launched, many of us were uncomfortable about the price but when you consider it has one of the best Blu Ray players in the market built in - Its a bargin. And with Sony now having won the war with Film makers choosing Blu Ray over HD DVD this will put XBox 360 at a severe disadvantage. Graphics and sound are excellent in gaming mode and picture quality and sound stunning in Blu Ray. One of the areas I use it most for is showing slide shows. I have a Home Server with Music and Pictures stored on it. The data is then sent wirelessly around the house and of course the PS3 picks this up and you can play music or watch the slideshow, now thats clever as there are no wires. This route also stores valuable space on the PS3 hard drive as the data is on the server. This is a really impressive...
