Is the PLAYSTATION3 Worth £300?

Advantages: Powerful System with Great Graphics and Sound.
Disadvantages: Incompatible with PS and PS2 games.

....5/10 The PS3 is the largest of the 7th Gen Consoles, and has a glossy black finish, it says PLAYSTATION3 in silver text across the top/front and the Power button and Eject button are both Touchscreen buttons. Value 7.5/10 The PS3 Currently sells for £300 in PC World with Ratchet and Clank 5 bundled in with it which some think is overpriced, although I think it's decent, and it isn't too far off the 360 now. Extra Features 8/10 The online play isn't on par with Xbox Live, but it's also free, the PS3 also allows you to browse the internet on your TV and download things onto it's 40GB Internal Harddrive. It also has a built in Blu-Ray Disk player, but Blu Ray hasn't really kicked off like Sony hoped yet. Sound 10/10 The PS3 sounds awesome, and playing a game like Uncharted allows you to truly appreciate it, with realistic...

Homedics SBM-300H

Advantages: Good quality massage, does as described
Disadvantages: Can't really think of any

...I've had some quite bad back pain for over twelve months now, with the main symptoms being lower back pain and stiffness. I've tried a few of those hand held massagers and one day when on holiday in Spain I used one of those massage chairs that you pay one Euro into and get a five minute shiatsu massage. It was absolute bliss and seemed to loosen up the muscles in my back considerably so I've been in search of something similar that won't break the bank ever since. Having done some research and read reviews I decided to purchase the Homedics SBM-300 from amazon.co.uk as it was quite cheap at £85.45 plus delivery. Having decided to splash out and have the guaranteed next day delivery it arrived very quickly and I eagerly opened the box. This particular model is described as a massage cushion and is able to fit to most chairs...

300 - okish

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: everything only if you watch another film before

...I have to admit I did do something wrong when watching this film. I happened to have watched "Meet The Spartans" before I watched this, so I kind of already knew the plot and sort of seriously got bored with this film, as I was expecting the funny bits come leaping out, unfortunately there was no funny bits and it was deadly serious, so at first I couldn't understand it but then I settled down to it however I have to admit I really do prefer the soundtrack over this film! The Director of the film is Zack Snyder, who is quite a new director and has only directed 3 films, "300" "Dawn Of The Dead" (Which I really do want to watch) & "Watchmen" (Which I'm not too sure about), he is not only a director but he is also a Producer and a writer! I don't know whether he is a good director considering he has only directed this film (That I have...

Review of 300 (DVD)

300 v's How Many?????

Advantages: excellent story, amazing effects, hunky half dressed men!
Disadvantages: Bit far fetched with creatures at the end

...As I have now learnt when telling hubby that he can pick the film what I am bound to end up watching, last night I made a decision that would pick a few films for which he could choose one from! This was the one which he chose and don?t ask me how he knew but it was also being shown on the television at the same time! The film is centred around the Spartans and at the beginning we see what the Spartan boys have to go through. We follow the journey which a young Leonidas went trough to return to Sparta and become King. Now Leonidas is a grown man and has a wife and son he is happily ruling Sparta. That is until one day a messenger from the Persians comes to ask King Leonidas to kneel before the Persian king or face an attack which would result in their men being killed and the women becoming slaves. King Leonidas does not take...

The HP 300's bigger, stronger brother

Advantages: prints lots
Disadvantages: none

...This range of print cartridges from HP is the bigger and better version of the HP300. Those of you who remember my stunning, wrongly uncrowned review of the HP300 will remember how it ran out after just 140 pages. Well, this time I splashed out on the upgrade. Basically, these cost £30 each, although I picked them up on ebay for around £19 brand new and sealed. They are print cartridges that do a lot more than the HP300. The black and white cartridge will give 600 pages of print (4 times what I got out of its baby brother at just twice the price). The colour one gives 440 pages. The cartridges are tidy and easy to install ? they just click into place. There?s no ink around and you won?t get ink everywhere which is ideal. The quality of the ink is stunning ? rich and dark, intense and thick, it looks brilliant. It never...

Review of HP 300XL - print cartridge (CC644EE)

Sennheiser CX 300

Advantages: Sound quality, bass, ability to block out background noise
Disadvantages: Very flimsy for the price and no case included

...I bought these roughly a year ago and they only lasted a few months. The sound quality is very, very good. Having been stuck using the basic iPod earphones prior to these, the CX 300 were a refreshing change. The bass on them is certainly more than adequate. Although some in-ear headphones don't block out background noise very well you won't have that problem with these. As long as you have the correct sized cover on the headphones the background noise will be blocked out completely meaning you can have your mp3 player on below half max volume and hear the music very clearly. Prior to these I'd never used in-ear headphones before and was somewhat concerned as to whether they'd be to hard and rough on my ear. The Sennheiser however are very soft, not too large and quite easy to use. So, why didn't they last me very long? The wire...

Sennheiser CX300 - a great upgrade earphone

Advantages: Great sound clarity, very comfortable
Disadvantages: Higher frequencies not as refined as other earphones

...Listening to music... a great British pastime, and something I enjoy every day. It comes as no surprise, mainly because it has been said many times before, that the earphones bundled with the iPod, or any MP3 player, are not brilliant. The iPod earphones are better then most, but for a small investment you can get a lot more music for your money. Sennheiser are well known for their high quality offerings, but this needn't break the bank. Their CX300 earphones weigh in at under £20 and are available in either black, white or silver. They come supplied nicely packaged with small, medium and large ring adaptors for a comfortable fit. Of the three colours I really like the black, which are accented with silver rings. Being the in-ear type of headphone, comfort is very important. Out of all the earphones I have tried, these win...

  Frank Miller's 300

Advantages: Six packs abound in a graphic and bloodly epic
Disadvantages: Highly stylised violence, perhaps not for everyone

...Background 300 is the second Frank Miller graphic novel to be adapted for the big screen. The first was the critically acclaimed Sin City and the director Zack Snyder has used the same process of photocopying panels from the original comic book to plan out the finished look of his latest movie. The final result is a visually stunning combination of live action and CGI that is remarkably faithful to Miller's original artwork. It is quite literally a comic novel brought to life and the superb quality of Miller's graphic creations are a guarantee of stunning eye candy throughout. Plot Summary The story of the movie is based on the Battle of Thermopylae, 480 BC in which 300 Spartan warriors held off a Persian army of up to 1 million indigenous and mercenary soldiers against all the odds. The two main protagonists are King Leonidas...

Review of Frank Miller's 300

300% Amazing!

Advantages: Another Miller classic brilliantly brought to life.
Disadvantages: Errrrm..... there won't be a sequel.

...of Persia to oppose them. It was considered a blasphemy to kill a messenger amongst most races but you get the idea that's why the King does this because it leaves him no option but to fight and besides no retreat, no surrender is Spartan law! The King wants to take the army and fight against Persia but both the Spartan council and the Ephors (ancient, disfigured mystics who control Sparta's spiritual interests) disagree with this. His hands officially tied Leonidas takes 300 of his best warriors under the pretence of them being a 'personal bodyguard' and goes to meet the Persians at the one place he knows he has a chance, Hell's Gate, a narrow mountain pass near the coast where the Persians vast numbers will be much less effective. Bravely they hold the pass against wave after wave of Persians as soldiers, elephants, magical fire...
