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...

Ipod nano v3 video

Advantages: Everything, good sound, good picture quality, good battery life
Disadvantages: Its quite pricey but worth the money

...and gives a very good picture. I was amazed when I watched a video on it the picture was actually better than my TVs. Battery The battery can last up to 24 hours it goes quicker the louder you listen to it, the more games you play on it and when you watch videos. Price The iPods start from £99.99 for a 4 GB version and for the 8 GB version it costs £129.99 the iPod is excellent values for money and you can't really fault it. Recommendation I would defiantly recommend this to any potential buyers it's a really good, easy to use mp3 player. Which has many features that other mp3s don't have such as the ability to play and download games and videos. It also has a decent screen size and quality. This ipod is a definate must....

Review of Apple iPod Nano video 8GB Third Generation

iPod Nano Video reveiw, Great new look

Advantages: Plays videos, music and views photos and high quality.
Disadvantages: Not easy to get video to a Ipod compatible format quickly.

...This is a ipod nano. It is great beacuse of the size. It fits easily in my pocket, about the size of a credit card. The main appeal of this ipod is the video feature. The screen is 5.5cm from corner to corner but it has a great picture and the soud is floorless. It can fit quite alot of video before it is full. I have a few full films on it but its still not full. Another new thing for this ipod is the cover flow feture. Great new way to look for a song on your ipod. However it is hard to get artwork for each song. Unless you have an itunes account and even if you do it doesnt always reconise a song. A let down for me is that you cant really add music or remove it without the Itunes program. But this is the same with all iPods ( you can still use other programs but they dont always work) Sleak new look and size makes this...

Video Nasties

Advantages: Friendly atmosphere, staff discount
Disadvantages: Very few other staff benefits

...I've been working part-time at Choices Video in my home town since September 2001, and I have to say that, most of the time, I really do enjoy my job. The people are friendly, it's quite flexible, but the pitfalls are a real pain sometimes. BACKGROUND ------------------------- Choices Video is part of the Home Entertainment Corporation, which aside from video rental shops also distributes rental products to local shops such as Alldays and independant ones. They have their own film distribution arm, Mosaic Entertainment, which buys rights to video and dvd of films. HEC was founded in 1985, and the first Choices Video rental store was opened in 1986. There are now 213 branches in the UK. WHERE I WORK -------------------------- I work in the smaller Ipswich branch of Choices (there are two). We're situated in a row of shops...

A Video-gaming Nirvana

Advantages: Great graphics, great games, Xbox Live
Disadvantages: £40 annual subscription to Xbox Live Gold, Red Ring of Death

...achievement. Xbox Live, the 360's online service works beautifully, with the free service providing access to game demos and videos, the Xbox Live Arcade (a selection of new and classic arcade-style games), downloadable music videos and most recently, downloadable high-def movies (though I suggest these be avoided unless you have a good high-speed broadband connection). Where Live really shines though, is in the opening of the multiplayer side of nearly all titles released on the console, though this does cost a further £40 each year. This will allow you to play with people across the globe and if your friends are also connected to Live, you can join in with them as well. The two more expensive console bundles will supply a mic, with which you can chat privately with friends or start up conversations complete strangers, though I must say it is...

Welcome To The Videos

Advantages: great music videos, like 'November Rain', 'Don't Cry' and 'Paradise City'.
Disadvantages: No extras. A few videos missing that I feel should have been on it.

...As a huge fan, and someone who regrets not being old enough to ever see this band live when they were in their prime, I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when Guns 'n' Roses were announced as performers a few years back on MTV Video Awards. Though it was clear Axl Rose was the only original member left, there was still much anticipation as I felt even with the new band members, it would still have that old Guns 'n' Roses feel to it, due to the fact that I know Axl Rose made a great deal of the decisions and chose the direction music wise, in the days when Guns 'n' Roses were truly on top. This was going to be amazing. Although I would not be able to see them live at the MTV Video Awards, them performing there surely meant there would be a tour.... perhaps even another album... However. Excitement quickly turned to...

Creative live! Cam video IM pro

Advantages: Great quality picture and video
Disadvantages: Quite pricey compared to other webcams

... Overview I brought my Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro last year (2006) around about the Easter period as I had been using the MSN messenger service for quite a while and a lot of my friends and family had them and so I thought that it was about time I got one too. Price I first brought my Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro at a PC world in Canterbury, it cost me about £30, however this was quite a while ago and I have looked around and on the internet I have found the same webcam for around about £20 so do your home work first. Picture The Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro can take photos at an incredible 1.3 mega pixels which is one of the highest quality still picture capture for webcams and you'll be hard pressed to find better. Video There is additional free software that comes with this...

Review of Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro

Red Hot Greatest Videos

Advantages: The videos and special features
Disadvantages: The layout of the DVD intro selections

...Red Hot Chili Peppers - Anthony Kiedis (Vocals), Flea (Bass), John Prusciante (Guitar), Chad Smith (Drums) This DVD of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's greatest videos is a big selling DVD version of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's greatest hits album. The DVD shows the best and worst times of the Chili Peppers success and even the making of the videos within the special features. The videos play for 58 mins and the extras running time is 104 mins. The extras include the making off and their tour diaries. I bought this DVD about 2 years ago from my local Asda for £9.99. I don't know the reason why I bought it but I loved it! I watched the videos to 'Can't Stop' and 'By The Way' because they were 2 songs I had heard. 'Can't Stop' is a very random video including many weird props to make up the video such as dustbins and glowsticks. 'By The Way...

Review of Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Greatest Videos (DVD)

Metalllica's music video's for the first time

Advantages: most of the best Metallica has to offer
Disadvantages: none, this is great

...Metallica are an american heavy metal come thrash metal band, that formed in 1981. Metallica is considered one of the major bands to really lead the way for thrash metal, along side bands like megadeth. This is the third DVD in my metallica collection. I also have the fantastic S&M concert with the San Francisco Philarmonic orchestra, and the Cunning Stunts live concert. Whilst the cover to Metallica the videos looks a little dull and uninspiring, it does contain a real decent DVD. For fans of Metallica this has many of the classic older tracks, as well as some of the stuff from the newly reformed Metallica, and the St. Anger album. The DVD is done in 5.1 surround sound and played very loud sounds just peachy. James Hetfields nice deep powerful voice just booms out in style. So what do you get for your cash? For starters you get 21...

Creative Live! Cam Video IM - good cam

Advantages: simplicity, price
Disadvantages: none for this price range

...I have received this camera from my parents for my birthday year ago. It's my first camera in whole life and have to tell you that I'm not going to change it. Video resolution 800 to 600 pixels is absolutely fine for having a good videoconference. Does quite well when is dark. Have very interesting software which recognises main point on your faces and thanks to it you can choose a mask, hat, sombrero, moustache or one of huge number of them. They will follow your face. It's a bit fun  Quality of pictures is not great but let's be hones - who is using pc camera to do high quality shoots?? Design is satisfying same way as special stand. Can be placed on top of CRT monitor as well as LCD (that's the one I use). Its good value for money, simply to use and install, Newest software, drivers and masks are available...
