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...

Babyliss pro 200 ceramic straightener

Advantages: Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Sometimes damage hair, no variable heat settings, take a while to heat up

...you have thick hair, I wouldn't reccomend them. *It takes at least three strokes to completely straighten my (thin) hair. The good points about these straighteners: *I like the cool tips. My old straighteners did not have these, and I found myself burning my fingers on the ends! *The soft fabric around the plate-area *The fact that they are slim makes them easy to store and easy to style shorter hair. *The floating plates provide even pressure *3x ceramic plates for extra protection from heat. *There is a 3 year guarantee on these straighteners, which I think is fairly good for what I paid for. These straighteners are also good for curling hair, as the barrel is fairly round so as not to create odd-shaped curls. To curl my hair with these straighteners, I take a lock and twist it round the straightener until it is fully...

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...

Best Budget Ceramics Yet!

Advantages: Solid Ceramic Plates, Digital Control Heat Pad, Excellent Value
Disadvantages: no floating heads

...I purchased these from QVC as a TSV (Todays Special Value) for a total of £22.49. At the time of writing this you can buy them from QVC (QVCUK.COM or 0800504030) for £22.50 plus postage of £3.95 Item 231950. As I had already owned their first pair (see my other review of Complements Ceramic Hair Straighteners) and thought them very good value I couldn't wait to try this new Pro version. Complements (www.complements.co.uk) is the name under which these straighteners are distributed by Complementary Healthcare Company, which is also known as HoMedics. They are a reputable company based in Manchester which also sell other health care items often seen in House of Fraser and Debenhams. They sell their straighteners online at places such as QVC and SF Codys (there is an SF Codys in Bluewater although I have only seen them selling their...

Review of Complements Ceramic Pro Straightener

Straighten like a pro!

Advantages: Salon heat. Long cord. Inexpensive.
Disadvantages: On/off buttons easy to knock accidentally.

...I have to say I was somewhat of a late-comer to the world of hair straighteners. I was quite intrigued by them in the salons I frequented but having seen the price tags of GHD hair straighteners which I was repeatedly told were THE brand to buy, I was somewhat put off. After all, having never needed hair straighteners before could I justify a £100+ price tag for something I may never or infrequently use? This in mind, (& having tried a 'cheap' set of straighteners which my mum had bought & abandoned in the back of a cupboard...) I spoke to my hairdresser who said that many brands of straighteners were now rivalling GHD's & that the main thing to look for was a set of straighteners whch reached professional heat levels of 230 degrees. So, approx 2 years ago I did my research on Amazon & purchased the Babyliss Pro 230. The RRP...

Review of Babyliss Pro 230 Ceramic Tourmaline 230°C Hair Straighteners

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

The PSP Slim

Advantages: Portable eassy to carry,
Disadvantages: Read Review

...Let me clear this up... The PSP Slim does not have a touch screen. it is essentially the old PSP with a few a few minor changes.These are the changes: It can store game data in the cache so the PSP doesn't consistently have to access the UMD, which speeds up load times. The UMD drive is no longer the springloaded type, and is now like a drawer. The memory stick panel is now a pull-out area. The Slim has video out, and and transmit video to a TV. Games appear in a letterbox format. The Slim has a modified earphone jack, to enable video out. USB charging is now possible. It takes about two hours, 20 minutes to charge with AC and five with USB The first units are sold with firmware 3.60. It does not have a built-in camera, or a printer, or an extra analog stick, or FlashDrive compatibility or xray or any other crap that you may...

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

Slimming World

Advantages: inexpensive, quick to lose the weight, lots of support
Disadvantages: you have to ea too much!!!

...It got to thestage where I had to do something about my weight. I had finished working, and got a bit lethargic at home all day, hence the weigt piled on. I saw an ad for Slimming World in the local shop, and it was held just along the road from where live. I plucked up courage and went along to the group, on the Tuesday evening. I was welcombed warmly by everybody, and listened to the introductory talk. It all souded very good, but a little unbelievable. They were saying that you could lose 4/7 pounds a week!! I needed to lose 3 stone, and if that was the case, it wouldn't take too long to get it off. So I joined, and the following week, lo and behold lost 6 lbs. Amazing. I followed the diet for the next month, and had lost one stone already. Afer 3 months I had lost the 3 stones. Fantastic, and I was never hungry. you just...
