Xbox 360 Advanced AV Cable

Advantages: Vastly improves the 360s graphics on SDTVs
Disadvantages: None

...If you dont have an HDTV this cable is a must have buy this cable the difference it makes is absolutly huge. The picture is much sharper and text in games is clearer, the colours more vibrant. This cable makes the console have much more of a Next gen feel and it is singly one of the best accesories you could buy for your 360 is you are playing your 360 on an SDTV. Well I know it would be a lot better to pay just £17.99 than £400-£1000 for an HDTV especially after just paying £279.99/£199.99 for your console respectivly. So this cable is a must have if you do not own an HDTV you will see the difference. Sharper, More vibrant colours! However you cannot help feeling that this cable should have been included as standard in the package. But Excellent nonetheless!...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Advanced Scart AV Cable

Wii component cable- Well worth the money

Advantages: sharper/brighter picture, opens up more ports on TV, saves hassle.
Disadvantages: quite expensive for a simple console improvement

...The Nintendo Wii component video cable really is a sound investment if you are the owner of an HD/ LCD TV, and obviously a nintendo Wii. Before i bought it, i had trouble with the picture quality and contrast on many of the games. Games such as Wii Sports were fine, but more of the action/adventure games such as Zelda or Splinter Cell give a very dark picture which can sometimes be hard to make out what was happening. The only way i could combat this problem was to adjust the contrast on my television which did help, but was alot of hassle. With the component cable, the picture is not only much brighter, but much sharper and defined. It gets rid of the hassle of having to turn the contrast back down after playing on the Wii and improves the overall gaming experiance. Another bonus is that on your HD TV, this cable plugs into...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after...

Amazing Little Cable

Advantages: Synchronizes mobile phone to PC
Disadvantages: None

...REASON FOR PURCHASING I am fond of taking pictures with my Nokia 7360 mobile phone.There are always unexpected moments that I want to treasure by capturing them with my mobile phone. I only bring my digital camera with me during special occasions so I use my mobile phone in taking pictures in ordinary days. When my phone's memory card was almost full, I bought Nokia CA-42 Mobile phone cable since I didn't want to delete pictures from my mobile phone. I wanted to transfer the pictures from my mobile phone to my computer.

Review of Nokia CA-42 Mobile phone cable

The GAMEware component cable spices up the Wii's HD graphics.

Advantages: Improves the graphical quality of games, Cheaper than the official cable.
Disadvantages: I suppose some people will unfairly compare the Wii and the 360/PS3 graphics and be disappointed?

...Having previously played my Wii on a regular old television I was more than happy with the graphics in game. However upon moving house and purchasing a Samsung LCD TV which is HD compatible, I figured buying a component cable couldn?t hurt and I had heard good things about its effect upon games. I did not have the money at the time to purchase the official Nintendo one, and when talking about it with the kind and helpful assistants in GAME, they assured me theirs was just as good and a fraction of the price. I had never been let down by them before so I bought it and went home straight away to see the effect it would have, especially on games with already spectacular graphics like Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy. Difference in Picture Quality Being unsure of the effect it would have, I performed a blind test with a friend...

Review of Wii Component Cable

Be careful next time you need to call .. 'THE CABLE GUY' ..

Advantages: Well.... Jim Carrey stars in it!
Disadvantages: it possibly could have done with just a touch more humor.

...--------------------------------------- THE CABLE GUY on DVD --------------------------------------- This film was first released in 1996 and it was officially a box office FLOP . I was actually quite surprised to learn that on watching the DVD. Jim Carrey was already quite a well recognized face in the movie industry by the time that 'The Cable Guy' was released . His previous roles had included the lead part in the 2 ACE VENTURER movies( I love both of those films) and also the Riddler in BATMAN FOREVER(my son likes this one) . I first saw this movie a few years after its release, on pay per view . I loved this film so much that my sister on knowing this decided to buy it for me as a present a few birthday's ago.It was a GREAT choice as it is still a favorite of mine all these years on. ---------- Plot ---------- Jim Carrey...

Review of The Cable Guy (DVD)

the cable that will last a lifetime

Advantages: strong
Disadvantages: none

...Now iv not done a review on USB cables before, really its just never hit me that I could actually write about these and there’s also the fact that there’s not really much you can say about a cable, but ill give it a go. This is a normal printer cable which means it has two ends, one being the end which goes into any USB port in your computer or laptop, this end is the rectangle shaped end and is called a type A. The other end is which goes into your printer, and don’t worry as nearly every printer made has this kind of end so it will definitely fit, and this end is kind of square in shape and is known as the type B end. It transfers data to your computer at speeds of up to 480 mbps, that’s megabytes a second which is really fast and is about 40 times faster than USB 1.1 cables. The cable its self is 1.8 m...

A Wireless Cable ?

Advantages: Cheap, Easy Setup
Disadvantages: Poor WiFi Coverage, Limited sofwtare features

...When my old Netgear wireless router broke down (for the fourth time) at the beginning of December I decided that enough was enough. A trip to PC world saw me return with one of these puppies (and £60 lighter in the pocket). 30 minutes after getting home saw my Internet access and wireless network reinstated. Yup, 30 minutes was really all it took, and that included unwrapping it, fiddling round with the power supply & cables as well as some basic configuration. This was helped along by the excellent quick-start guide on a large, fold-out sheet with it's clearly numbered and documented steps. At about the size of a large-format paperback, it's middle of the road in terms of size. Aesthetically it's not going to win any prizes, but it does the job. There are screw-holes on the base to allow for wall-mounting should you desire...

Review of Belkin 54g Wireless Cable/DSL Router

A scart is a scart is a scart

Advantages: Quality fully wired scart cable
Disadvantages: bulky connector head

...There are many cheap scart leads and many expensive scart leads. The cheapest may not be fully wired and hence not pass on all signals such as AV switching and screen mode through to the TV, and the most expensive may not appear to give value for money. The Ixos XFT02 is their entry level scart lead costing between £13-£20 depending where you look. The scart is fully wired, is constructed with oxygen free copper conductors with gold plated connectors, and is well shielded against emf interference. The scart does exactly what it is meant too without being too expensive for non-enthusiasts. These aren't the cheapest of scarts, but are at the low end of quality leads which are designed for signal performance rather than price. The only drawback is that the connector head is quite bulky with the side-exiting lead, so this may foul...

Review of IXOS First XFT02 Video / Audio cable

Belkin Power Cable

Advantages: Works perfectly, Fits Snug, Lengthy enough
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this for plugging in my computer because the power supply I had to buy did not include one. There isn't much to say on a power cable so this is about all I could think of. My main reasons for choosing this where because I knew Belkin is a very respectable brand for when it comes to electronic connector cables and its length suited my needs perfectly. I found that the cable fits very snugly into the back of my computer so that when it gets knocked about for some reason (kicking from mad frustration during games :) ) then it does not fall out. It is easily strong enough to hold its own weight in so it doesn't pull itself out- which is a problem one of my crappy computer monitors was having. This caused me to buy a second one for my computer monitor as I was overall 100% pleased with this one. It has never failed me causing in...
