GBA SP

Advantages: Comfortable and FUN!
Disadvantages: Needs more games

...I've had my Gameboy Advance SP for a few years now and whilst others have replaced theirs with a Nintendo DS, I'm still happy to play mine, although it is becoming increasingly difficult to get any decent games for it without delving into the shady world of ebay trading. I was given the 'Mario Limited Edition' version of the GBASP as a gift. The bottom section (where the button are) is silver and the top (where the screen is) is red. When closed, the red part has a large red 'M' on it to signify Mario, I assume. I was impressed with the way the GBASP looked. It was much better looking than its predecessor, the original GBA, which was wider and did not fold. The screen is large and clear and displays the gameplay very well. The unit as a whole has a sturdy feel and the fact that, at least four years later, mine is still working...

sp does it again

Advantages: great product
Disadvantages: over priced

...My friend used to work for Wella SP and I was lucky to be blessed with some of her samples and although this is a very expensive range it is fantastic, I do not think that I would buy it as the price is a very big off Put, but the products are first class and in a class of their own. Wella SP Perfect Hair is for damaged areas of your hair and protects it against the heat and helps to volumise and strengthen your hair , so it's ideal for use before blow drying or straightening your hair. For the best results apply Wella SP Perfect Hair evenly through towel dried hair, being careful not to use too much or it makes my hair look greasy make sure it is prior to blow drying or straightening for the best results. It also smells great and leaves you hair smelling fresh and clean. This product if you blow dry your hair has saved my...

Olympus sp-570, a great compact camera with slr features.

Advantages: Incredible zoom, macro mode and very easy to use
Disadvantages: No rechargeable batteries and uninspiring LCD screen.

...As I opened the box the first thing that struck me was how small this camera is. Expecting something almost the size of an slr, I was pleasantly surprised. This fits comfortably in my hands and by no means needs the neck strap provided with it. Why did I buy this? Well, the zoom primarily. At 20x optical zoom, giving an equivalent of 26-520mm this was far cheaper than buying lenses to fit my dslr covering this zoom range. The zoom range itself is incredible. Although the sp590 uz boasts a 26x optical zoom, for all intensive purposes the 20x provided by the sp570 is more than enough for the ordinary shooter, or even a would be paparazzi. Performance at the end of the telephoto range (full zoom) wasn't great, but still perfectly usable. Image quality in general is very impressive for a non dslr camera, easily beating any...

Advantages: Great Quality Images, Price, Features
Disadvantages: Have to buy additional accessories to use effectively

...Olympus SP570 UZ 10mp digital camera Price: £235-£380 (Price runner winner on price - Camerabox limited) Olympus digital cameras are such a good choice I have had the pleasure of sampling a couple this being one along with the E-510 and again to be honest very similar in deed & the quality of the images is superb so for those of you on a budget (I'm a photographer on a budget (very tight) & this camera is on par with those that cost over a grand - £235 yes please This is a great camera for both amateur & professional photographers, for those who like quality & variety at a great price then you can't go wrong with this piece of kit which is not only functional but is very easy to use.

Alex Rider : Storm Breaker GBA version

Advantages: Story(only for the fans of Alex Rider)
Disadvantages: Lenghty, not so good graphics, same boring things to be done over and over again.

...give it a try. I havent played the game on the Game Boy Advance, but I have a computer version of it called Visual Boy Advance, hence I just download all the games of GBA and play them on the computer. I had read the book first, loved it, watched the movie, loved it, hence I downloaded the game as well, didnt love it that much. The game isnt exactly that tough to play, but you'll get used to it. In terms of graphics, its not that great, its not even equal to the clarity of Harry Potter games. The sound is only enjoyable as you play the game, but the game is almost endless, especially to those who dont even know who Alex Rider is. As in terms of difficulty, its fairly easy to master, just that you're supposed to do the same things over and over again. So I just want to end by saying that this product should not be bought by anyone who...

Review of Alex Rider: Stormbreaker (GBA)

Windows XP Proffesional SP3 BETTER THAN VISTA LOOK!

Advantages: Speed, Reliability, Size of Screen, Size of HDD
Disadvantages: External shell is business orientated

...I have had this laptop now for just under a year and this is the best laptop, for a home user. This laptop is not for any serious gamers or moderate gamers, but this can perfom to an extent. This has a great 17 inch screen. Perfect for watching movies, also this laptop has a fairly fast proccessor backed up with 2gb of RAM. When i purchased this laptop Vista was installed on it I loved the look and animations, But using over time the laptop started to slow down alot. So after much thinking i decided to wipe Vista off the laptop and install SP3 Windows XP Proffesional. Now i have had Windows XP running for more than 6 months, i am pleased to say the laptop is stil running like new. Also the system is much more stable and the computer has only crashed once. This is the way forward, OK Windows XP doesn't have the eye candy but, has...

Gameboy Advance SP, what does SP stand for?

Advantages: Portable, plenty of supporters, battery life, front lit screen
Disadvantages: No earphone port, no 3D graphics, average sound reproduction

....... In any case the point I am trying to put across is that this Gameboy Advance SP is a handheld console that rawks! Don't let anybody put you off it no matter what, if you enjoy playing on it then play (unless you play it 24/7 in which case I recommend you take a few minute to think about your life in general and then if there is any remorse. No? Keep gaming then, your family are only going to desert you, that's all!) If I remember correctly this GBA SP has 32 Kbyte + 96 Kbyte VRAM (in CPU), 256 Kbyte WRAM (external of CPU) which seems like nothing but its actually plenty for the games it plays on it's small screen, it can display over 32,000 colours and has a 32bit RISC CPU. When I first read the 32bit I thought it would be like the PSX with the 3D graphics and all, but I was surprised to find that it was going to be a 2D device...

Review of Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP

GBA not just a kids toy

Advantages: colour screen, backlight, long battery life, easy to hold, nice finnish
Disadvantages: none in my eyes.

...of people say ?Nintendo make good games worth playing?, and its true ? the games where enjoyable. Next up came the smaller more compact version of the classic game boy these came in different colours and had sharper screens than their predecessors, basically just a small improvement over the classic one. Next up the GBC ? the game boy colour with its 64,000 colour screen pallet and being able to show 256 of those colours at one go took hand held gaming to a whole new level ? namely the infrared port. Next up is the game boy advanced; crafted in a shape which fits nicely in your hands, and with the addition of two new buttons and a screen able to push out more colours at one time this meant that new games could be more appealing visually as well as have more complex controls as you now have the two L and R buttons. So now we come to the GBA SP...

GBA Advances to another level

Advantages: Longeivity, Nice Graphics, Pure Gameplay
Disadvantages: The hours you'll waste on it

.... THey also show the battle scenes, which get boring after a while, but they can be turned off. The sound is quite good, best thru a pair of headphones. Playability and gameplay is up there with Tetris, this game will also last you ages. Overall, this game will last you ages, it is gaming excellence, part with your cash and go get the GBA's most original and addictive game. S...
