S = Smaller

Advantages: Strong, Better
Disadvantages: None

...I had wanted to get a XBOX for a while now and the only thing putting me off was the controller which came with it (I used to play it when they had them setup in game shops and the pads were HUGE!!) so I decided to leave it as my hands wern't designed to fit them into my hands, but as so many people were complaining about the size of the original pads Microsoft listened (believe it or not) and designed the Controller S. IN THE PACK When you get the vacuum packed pad home it should have 1X XBOX S controller 1X Detachable inline release cable 1X instruction book USE Like all official Xbox Pads it features the inline release on the wire, this is basically to protect the XBOX itself and minimizing the chances of it falling and doing damage to itself or somebody (it isn?t the lightest thing in the world) So if the wire get...

Review of Microsoft Xbox Controller S - game pad

SDR S26

Advantages: Size, quality, reputation, ease of use. truly pocket size
Disadvantages: none

...Having been stuck with a busted camcorder on the morning on an important family visit, I dashed to a major electrical store to source a replacement, stumbled across this camera, researched the others on display and chose the S26 for ease of use, merit for the make (I bought Lumix TZ5 and have been really pleased with it, quality, capabilities etc, great lens) and general feel for the camera. in my opinion, X70 zoom works very well, resolution excellent for an "older" user and their "junior" assistants. I think that Transfer speed is not rapid, but "so what" in a camera at this price point. Very happy to recommend for general everyday trouble free use. BUT buy it on line for £60 less than the big stores and be even more satisfied that I am Ron...

Fuji FinePix S1500. Descendant of the S1000fd

Advantages: Huge zoom, Focus Tracking, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Bulky, A little slow, AA batteries are a bit inconvenient

...The Fuji FinePix S1500 is the latest incarnation of the very successful FinePix S1000fd. It is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered. The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too. The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed. There are 14 preset scenes to choose from, each setting the camera to its optimum settings for the given scenario, but on top of this, the camera can be used...

GAME

Advantages: great games
Disadvantages: n/a

...Game is a great shop for any gaming fan, when it comes to getting the games that you want.If it is a console im afraid you are not so lucky, i spent ages trying to get a Nintendo Wii and they always seemed out of stock. They stock consoles, games and accessories for th Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance, Gamecube, PC Games, Sony Playstation 2, Sony Playstation 3, Sony Playstation Portable, Nintendo Wii, Xbox and Xbox 360. Game offer special deal when you buy a bundle with any of the consoles, games and accessories.

I have noticed that you can get better offers if you look around online using the comparison sites as the game market is a very competitive market. Game...

GT-S5600: A Great Touch Screen Phone

Advantages: Great Camera, Easy to use touch screen and lovely colour
Disadvantages: Easily Scratched and has an irritating vibrate eveytime you touch something

...My old phone decided to die on me a few weeks ago. So I decided it was time to invest in a new one, and I decided to go on contract. I ended up getting the new(ish) Samsung GT-S5600. The contract is with Orange Dolphin and costs £15 a month and includes the phone, 100 minutes of calls to any network and unlimited texts. ---The Phone Itself--- The phone is a bar phone, not slide or swivel. It is approximately 10cm/4? in length and 5.5cm/2? in width. My version is in nice pale lilac though it does come in black and white. The screen is a touch screen, and measures 4.5cm wide and 6cm in length. At the base of the phone there is three buttons, two of equal size with a nice brush metal effect, the equal size buttons are the ones that allow you to answer calls and end them. In between the two equal buttons is a square button...

Review of Samsung S5600

Life is just a game - enjoy it

Advantages: Good family fun
Disadvantages: Rules are quite difficult to pick up at first

...favourite new addition to the game is the possibility of a mid-life crisis when the player must change jobs and salaries. The first time I went through a game-version mid-life crisis I thought, been there and done that! I also realised that this game was truly a product of the 50's. You had to get a job, had to get married and buy a house!! This is a game that everyone I know loves playing, mainly as it lasts a decent time - neither too long or too short. A game of 4 players usually takes us around 40 minutes to play but obviously with 2 it will be slightly less or with 6 it will be slightly longer. It is also a game that can be adapted to suit your own family situations - I have a friend who, when her family play it, allow gay marriages because she has a gay brother. Although it is aimed at children aged 9 and over, we do have...

Review of The Game of Life

Game

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...This review is focuses on game.co.uk, an online gaming, and gaming accessories website, that allows people to purchase games online, with it then later being delivered a couple of working days later. Now ive used game.oc.uk several times, infact in 2007, I would say ive spent roughly £350 purchasing items from their website, so I guess I seem to have some experience regarding what the company has to offer, the layout of the website, customer service, price and so on. This review will hopefully bring to attention why I like the site, and why I use the company on a regular basis. Company Info: Game, is a retailer both online and in store, they have a wide selection of consumer products relating to games, and gaming consoles, such as the PS2, X Box and so on. They initially started off with small retail outlets in Europe, namely in...

Review of Game.co.uk

Gaming for everyone

Advantages: The best selection of games, Xbox Live is an amazing online service
Disadvantages: Hardware problems

..., which does look very cool. The package also comes with a premium HDMi cable. It has been rumoured that the Pro version will eventually be discontinued, and that the Xbox 360 Elite will take it's place with the Pro's price tag. Xbox 360 Faults I think if you're a gamer, then you're probably aware of the Xbox 360's technical faults. If you're not, then let me fill you in. The console has been plagued with various technical problems, but the biggest of them has been the RROD, which stands for 'Red Ring of Death'. This is a fault that is caused by overheating, and that the console will no longer operate unless it is fixed. Another problem that has become widespread is the E74 error, which is similiar to the RROD. While the problems have been vast amongst many people, the number of reported errors have decreased. I can only...

iPhone 3G S will have you stunned!

Advantages: It's advanced technology and huge variety of features.
Disadvantages: The very low and quickly decreasing battery life.

...The iPhone 3G S is an amazing piece of palm-sized technology. It has everything you could possibly ask of a mobile phone (except Blue-tooth data exchange), and much more! I was shocked at it's ease of use considering its a smart phone! However, although it does have a few new features from its predecessor, the iPhone 3G, but it didn't seem as much of a technological breakthrough considering the transition of the original iPhone to the iPhone 3G, which is one of the reasons I gave it 4, and not 5 stars. First of all, there is the biggest thing about the iPhone 3G S, is the addition if the S to the title. It stands for speed, and they're not lying. I compared my friends iPhone 3G to my iPhone 3G S, and I noticed how much quicker internet pages load, applications load up, and even basic things like sending a text (which may have been due...

Play the Game

Advantages: Entertaining subject, engagingly written, very amusing in parts.
Disadvantages: Loses interest towards the end.

...Want to make yourself irresistible to women? Fancy being a master of seduction? This book is the story of a man who learnt how, who learnt the secrets of the Game. Neil Strauss wasn't exactly your prototypical loveless loser, but then he wasn't terribly irresistible either. An everyman of the dating game, with ever-declining hair and glasses, the initial change involved a makeover into the shiny-bonced, sharply goateed figure gracing the cover of The Game. The physical transformation, however, was only the first and the easiest of the alterations Strauss would make. Months later, he was living in the daddy of bachelor pads, hanging out with models, dating a string of beautiful women and chatting up Britney Spears. Not bad for a balding journalist on the less youthful side of thirty. It's certainly an enticing prospect as...
