How PS2 gives me an inferiority complex over size

Advantages: Several over other PS2s, DVD playback a major bonus
Disadvantages: Accessories are not cheap

...with linking the PS2 up to my TV and stereo, I finally sat down to play the demo disc and from then I was hooked. At last a console that was competing with PCs. But of course the PCs themselves have advanced quite a bit so I think we need to reassess the Playstation 2 in todays Pentium 4 world. I dont want to get too far into the technical improvements here because its confusing and becomes outdated quickly, so this opinion is based on practicality... SIZE MATTERS I find very important as both a house owner and an inherently untidy person to know what kind of space these things need. The unit takes up 12 x 4 x 7 inches (30 x 10 x 18 cm), so it is larger than the old Playstation. However, the genius is there is no need for a DVD player in addition, and it can be used standing on its side (with the added fun of being able to rotate the PS logo...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

Does size matter?

Advantages: great graphics and gameplay
Disadvantages: poor sound

...Back in 2002, a game was created that has never really been seen before. The game combined the longevity and puzzle elements of a platformer, with the firepower of a shooter. Ratchet and clank was born, and the series of games since have never really deviated from the original blueprint. At the end of the day, if a thing isn't broke, then why fix it? So, our favourite (and only.) lombax, and robot duo are back, for one more outing. What exactly a lombax is, I dont know but the closest thing I could compare him to is a fox. Size matters, is the first time that the duo have ventured onto the portable consoles. I can say that the conversion has been a happy one, and none of the fun or excitment of its big console twins has been lost. In this installment, our two heroes are on the beach, on holiday. A young girl fan finds them...

Review of Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (PSP)

Size Matters

Advantages: Sharp, funny and informative
Disadvantages: Made me crave fast food

...Having heard that two obese teenagers were suing McDonald?s for making them fat, film-maker Morgan Spurlock decided to see what would happen if he ate nothing but McDonald?s food and drink, three meals a day for thirty days. ?Super Size Me? is the result. The idea for ?Super Size Me? came to director Spurlock after an enormous Thanksgiving meal at his mother?s house. His producer said that it was ?a really great bad idea? and the rest, as they say is history. The rules of engagement were simple; Spurlock could only eat and drink items available over-the-counter at McDonald?s, he had to eat three meals a day from the chain, he had to eat everything on the menu at least once and if he was offered the chance to super size his meal, he had to accept. Thankfully he wasn?t stumbling blindly into this endeavour ? he had a back-up team...

Review of Super Size Me (DVD)

Is Size Important?

Advantages: Great photos and lots of educational values.
Disadvantages: See review.

...- The Book - This is a non-fiction book and as the name suggests it's focus is on size and the associated vocabulary: * big and small - This double page shows 2 ?big? things, an elephant and a skyscraper, adjacent to which are many photos of small things such as paper clips, grapes, buttons, marbles etc. * big, bigger, biggest - Chilldren are invited to draw comparisons between three living things from a big toucan to the biggest out of the three, a hippo. * small, smaller, smallest - Again there are photos of animals and objects, varying in size from small to the smallest. * tall and short - The concept of tall and short is then introduced on a double page with a photo of a tall giraffe next to a short dog and a tall sunflower next to short daisies etc. It would have been even better if the author had extended this...

Review of Sizes (Lift-the-Flap) - Anne S. A. Millard

Playstation 2...Size isn't everything

Advantages: Plays DVD's, CD's and Games!! Ideal for everyone!
Disadvantages: Its Expensive but has loads of facilities!!

...I purchased this product in February and i chose the Playstation 2 as it is new, plays DVD's and CD's so i wont have to keep changing consoles everytime i want to do something different. I like this product as it enables me to get away from my parents when i want to watch DVD's as the only other player is downstairs :(. I would recommend this product to ANYONE and EVERYONE that likes DVD's, GAMES or CD's... this is ideal for families as the parents wouldn't have to put out so much money due to the facilities of the console!! This is a compact console, which means it will fit almost anywhere you want to put it, i would suggest you got a stand for it (which usually costs around £10 from the shop in which u purchased it) The stand makes it look "cool" and will appeal 2 almost everyone. ADVICE : Do not move the console while it has a CD...

U2 in fun sized bites

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: see opinion

...Four tracks is all you get on this mini LP. To be fair, it has to be said that they're pretty damned good four tracks, two of which are performed live and these prove the point that dynamite comes in small packages "Bad" at 8 minutes long ultimately has Bono thrusting his tonsils at full pelt. The gentle start coaxes a bit of gentle head nodding before building up into the jumpaboutalot sort of style you develop after listening to U2 over the years. I defy you to not go wooooohoooo! towards the end. A personal favourite now with "A Sort Of Homecoming". This is a fantastic track and worth the price of the album alone. Bono does a masterful job of cranking up the pace and passion, and at only 4mins 40secs it is CRIMINALLY short. What a voice! What a band! Fan-bleedin'-tastic. "The Three Sunrises" sadly suffers a little having...

Review of Wide Awake In America - U2

Latina Size into your favourite dress

Advantages: You do tone up
Disadvantages: You need a good space to perform the routines properly

...Well at the start of the year I promised myself instead of talking about toning up I would actually this time do something about it....surprisingly I did and I feel great. One of the tools I used in my bid to shape up and get fit for Summer was the brilliant Latina Size dvd. As a fan of Strictly Come Dancing I thought this would be a fun way to shape up (and I liked the idea of learning some moves!). The dvd is broke down into 5 sections: Simply Salsa, Rumba Tone, Jump 'n' Jive, Cha Cha Burn and Sambasize. Each one targets a different part of your body so you can alternate depending on what you want to work out. I got into the routine of focusing on the Jump 'n' Jive sections at least twice a week to help tone the dreaded thighs! There is also a warm up and cool down section. Lilia's goes through all the moves first showing...

Review of Latina Size (DVD)

The size is no longer so super

Advantages: Educational
Disadvantages: Rather weird

...I'd been curious about this film since I 1st heard about it when it entered cinema's. Initially it didn't interest me and I didn't want to go and see it. I was curious but I wasn't going to pay cinema prices to watch it. I had the same kind of feelings when it became available on DVD and video, but finally I got my chance to see it when it was shown on UK TV on channel 4. This film follows Morgan Spurlock (No, I don't know who he is either) and his special diet. His diet or plan to eat 3 meals a day at McDonalds for 30 days. He starts out by having medical exams, blood tests and so on to check his initial health, fitness and many other things. Morgan has made a promise, he will only ever super-size a meal if he is asked by a salesperson (something that happened 9 times in his 30 days. Shortly after eating his 1st super-size meal...

Review of Super Size Me (DVD)

One Size Fits All

Advantages: No need to buy different sizes, economical, ecological, works well
Disadvantages: Takes a while to dry and can be bulky on a newborn

...which work well with the Motherease One Size nappies and are available in small, medium, large or extra large sizes. About 20 of these nappies with 4 or 5 wraps of each size is more than enough to keep you going with these, doing 2 washes per week. Obviously with a newborn an extra wash a week may be necessary. ** Cost ** The cost of a Motherease One Size nappy is £7.50 each and £8.25 each for the wraps. You can also buy a starter set, containing 20 nappies, 4 or 5 of each sized wrap, nappy bucket, mesh wash bag, wet nappy bag and some paper liners for just under £300. These prices are assuming you buy from Motherease or other big nappy retailers. However, if you shop around, you can get hold of them at a considerably cheaper price. At the time I purchased mine, I bought 20 nappies, 10 boosters, 5 each of the small and medium...

Review of Mother Ease One Size Diaper

Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 17" TFT

Advantages: nice screen, good battery life, fast specs
Disadvantages: large size (price?)

...Apple mac-books, where to start... ok, so to start, it is an apple, that means you get a solid quality product and on the whole very good customer are. this particualar apple is deffinatly more suited to being a media center than other laptops. At first glance you realise that it is a fairly large laptop, this allows for a big screen, which being an apple ffers clear vivid displays, unfortunatly the big screen increases the overal size and also uses more battery, however, the 4.5 hour yattery is still very good for an entertainment laptop. The laptops technical specs include a very fast 2.5 ghz dual core proccesor which is very fast, the dual core allows it to tackle multiple tasks quicly as well as increasing the overall speed of the laptop. The price is quite steep however, but i believe, if given the money, it is...
