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)

playstation 3 slim: the facts!

Advantages: very powerful, multifunctional console
Disadvantages: No real price cut

...The PS3 Slim is the latest PlayStation 3 games console, but it is essentially the same console as before, but with slimmed down components and a new, smaller body. The key improvements in the PS3 Slim are the 120GB hard drive, up from 40GB, 60GB and 80gb in previous UK versions and making it slimmer has made it 36 per cent lighter, 33 per cent smaller and it consumes at least 34 per cent less power (for you know worry about you electricity bills). The PS3 Slim represents a new console just in time for x-mas, one that could start to make sony some profit because up to this is due to the vast majority of PS3 sold so far (around 24 million of them) have been sold at a loss. However, new manufacturing procedures have changed this recently, and a redesigned 45nm Cell processor along with other similarly small and power efficient components...

Review of You've Come A Long Way Baby [PA] - Fatboy Slim

Darker and deeper, the Fatboy grows up

Advantages: multi-layered progression from last album
Disadvantages: might alienate pop-chart fans

...With a whirlwind of worldwide success that seems to have taken him by surprise, Norman Cook had to bite the bullet and follow up the huge global sales of his second album. With a history of blowing it once he'd achieved a certain level of success, "Gutter & Stars" is an important album for him under his Fatboy Slim guise. Credit should be given for the relatively prompt release, where many artists take years tweaking follow-ups to triple platinum albums. If you're looking for the light-hearted frippery of "Rockerfeller Skank" you won't find it - instead there's some heavyweight collaborative contributions from the likes of Macy Gray and P-funk legend Bootsy Collins. There's also the atmospheric vocals of long-dead rock icon Jim Morrison on the first single "Bird of Prey". Tracks like "Drop The Hate" and "Retox" put the meat...

Review of Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars [PA] - Fatboy Slim

PSP Slim

Advantages: Light, thinner and faster than the old PSP, with some nifty features.
Disadvantages: No infrared, battery life lower than usual PSP's.

...The PSP Slim is a smaller and slimmer version of the original, hence the name. Now with a third less weight, at 189g and about four-fifths the thickness (19mm). It costs around the same as the old one, £130. The new weight is immediately noticeable as soon as you hold the PSP in your hand. It's so light that you might think that it's missing something. Sony was able to slim down the battery size while maintaining the 5hr standard PSP time. The speakers have gone on the front, the wifi switch is now on the top to stop turning WLAN off and the UMD drive is spring loaded. The display remains the same, but the slim includes a video output that will let the PSP connect to a TV. Sony has doubled the built-in memory RAM from 32MB to 64MB, and the new PSP will also be able to speed up game load times with extra memory. The PSP slim...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

Slimming World - Not So Much Diet As Lifestyle Change

Advantages: Steady, sustainable weight loss, plenty of encouragement, excellent value
Disadvantages: Success still requires willpower and dedication!

...INTRODUCTION Slimming World has changed my life. That's not a flippant, wishful statement - it's a fundamental truth. The temptation is to turn this into a personal testimony of what Slimming World has done for me, and having lost close to four (4) stone already after five (5) months of attending, you could probably forgive me for it. That said, this is a review site, so I will try and keep it as matter of fact as possible, whilst sharing my personal experience with you. A SIMPLE TRUTH Slimming World (SW) is less about diet and more about lifestyle change. In truth, there is little mystery about the ?science? of Food Optimising (not to be confused with "Food Combining" which is a theory that certain combinations of food accelerate weight loss, whilst others inhibit it). The mechanics of losing weight are simple...

Review of Slimming World

Phatboy Slim

Advantages: 80% of the Songs are Great
Disadvantages: None

...A lot of the more snooty folks in the techno/dance/electronic scene have taken to dismissing Fatboy Slim, because he's hit modern rock radio, movie soundtracks, MTV, and Billboard charts. Apparently they've decided to ignore this album in favor of more "intelligent", more underground artists. Well, it's their loss. "The Rockafeller Skank" was the one of the singles of 1998, hands down. It's easily a classic of the big-beat genre. "Praise You" really develops a lot with age, "Right Here Right Now" is almost tracelike, "Gangster Trippin" is a great party track, and "You're Not From Brighton" is amazingly groovy hip-hop without the rapping. Even lesser songs like "Kalifornia" or "Build It Up - Tear It Down" are fun. So yes, this may be the more pop-oriented side of techno. But let's not dismiss it because of that. It's risen to...

Review of You've Come A Long Way Baby [PA] - Fatboy Slim

Slim (Of 112)

Advantages: A few nice R&B tracks
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

..."Love's Crazy" is the debut solo album from Slim, a member of the Bad Boy R&B quartet, 112. It came out towards the end of 2008, after his hit single, "So Fly" had matured and been re-made several times with remixes by many big names in the Rap world. All of the band have come out with a solo release this year, but only this one has been pushed with support from big, well-known name. 1. "Intro" 2. "She Got That" The first musical track from the thing is a banger, and gets it going the way it should as he gets the aid of Midnight Black (who has worked with Young Jeezy, Trillville and Plies in the past) to give him some club beats to uplift you and get you in the right mood for what you are about to get from the album. **Four Stars** 3. "Good Lovin'" R-Les does the production, and provides his well-known, spacey, and futuristic...

Review of Slimming World

Slimming world

Advantages: Excellent choice in food
Disadvantages: £4.50 per week and a £10 joining fee

...I have been a memeber of slimming world since september 2007 and i am still attending every wee which for me is an achievement in itself. Slimming world is a slimming club that you pay a weekely fee to attend this fee is £4.50 which can become quite expensive but they do offer count down packages where you pay for your weeks in advance and can get weeks for free. For me i joined slimming world after I gained lots of weight after having my son and also through a diet of mainly high fat, high sugar foods which i am now not ashamed to admit. Life for us was pretty much one big takeaway so in september I decided that I needed to do something about it so off i went to my local group in Barry. Upon arriving at my group I was made so welcome my consultant was a wonderfuly bubbly lady who made me laught, she didnt judge me and didnt make...
