 | "Great split-screen co-op offline campaign mode for 2 players" | 2009-09-16 |
| I was looking for games to play on my PS3 with my gf. I was surprised how few are out there to do this. After a great deal of internet searching this was one of the four I found. This game was rated highest and was said to be easy so we started with this one. We both had a lot of fun.
The game is not as good as other shooters I have played. The graphics and the story were not great. It is the split-screen co-op offline campaign mode that makes the game. The other three games (purchased but yet to be played are (in the following order): - Army of Two (easy) - Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (hard) - Resident Evil 5 (hard) | ||
 | Bose QuietComfort 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones | |
 | "Great Comfort but Poor Quality" | 2009-05-06 |
| I bought this product about 3 years ago for a plane flight. They worked fairly well for noise cancellation but not as good as I had hoped. On the positive side, they are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. I find most headphones uncomfortable so this is very important to me. On the negative side, with light usage and good care the synthetic black leather of the ear cushions and the top headband is all flaking off. It is making a major mess. Also, I am not happy that the sound cuts off when the battery dies. I think it should continue without noise cancellation which I do not need most of the time. I called Bose and they sell replacement ear cushions for about $30. The problem is that this does not solve the flaking on the headband. They do have a program to replace the headphones with new ones for $100. I find this flaking problem to be a manufacturing defect. They should recall them and replace them at no charge with a better material. Since comfort is so important to me I am replacing them. I wish I could find a similar headphone that is just as comfortable at lower cost and better quality. | ||
 | Sony Playstation3 Bluetooth Headset | |
 | "Painful to Wear" | 2009-04-19 |
| I bought this for my PS3 because of the high rating (4.5). I have read the other reviews and most mention that it is "uncomfortable". I actually find it too painful to wear. If I remove it from my ear canal then it is not very clear. I also find that there is poor audio separation between the mic and the ear-piece. Every time someone else talks, I can see my mic being activated. I am going to see if I can find an adapter for my wired headset or try this one: Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece (Black)[Retail Packaged]. | ||
 | Wayne PLS100. 1 HP portable stainless steel lawn sprinkling pump. | |
| "Call Amazon to double box product and use high PSI hose" | 2009-02-11 |
| My use for this pump is somewhat unusual. I bought it as a transfer pump for a very large saline water bed. The opening for the water bed limits the size of the hose for the intake. I had previously bought Wayne PC2 115-Volt 310 GPH Portable Transfer Water Pump, Bronze. It was too slow. It came with a short 5/8" 500 psi burst pressure hose. When I tried to use that hose with the new pump the suction was too great and the hose collapsed. I have ordered a Hudson 5/8" Premium Garden Hose (50 ft) with a 1000 psi burst pressure. I will cut off 6' to use as an input hose and I suspect this will work fine. Other people have noted that their pump arrived damaged. Although my pump does not appear damaged, it could have been. The pump is somewhat heavy. The manufacturer's box is poorly designed for shipping. Amazon did not box it well either and their box was falling apart. I would call Amazon and ask them to double box this product. Otherwise, it is a great pump with a nice switch on the pump and with a long cord. | ||
 | Wayne 1/10 HP Self-Priming Portable Utility Pump | |
 | "Could be better" | 2009-02-04 |
| I bought this to pump water from my very large waterbed into a bladder and then back again. It worked but it was slow, the motor ran hot, and it was noisy. I just ordered their more powerful pump for next time: Wayne PLS100 1 HP 720 GPH Portable Lawn Sprinkling Pump, Stainless. | ||
 | Homedics SBM-300H Therapist Select Shiatsu PLUS Back Massager with Heat | |
| "Heat makes all the difference!!" | 2008-10-19 |
| I own the previous model to this and did not find it all that effective. After reading the reviews I decided to buy this, which seems identical except heat was added. The heat has made a huge difference and makes it so much more effective. I am so glad I upgraded. Although I have not tried the higher model (quad), from reading the reviews and from experience, I think this is a better choice in order to focus the massage at one spot. I would give it 5 stars but for two points. I have to sit on a cushion to get it all the way down to my lower back just above the SI joints. Also, one improvement would be to make the width adjustable in shiatsu mode. Once again, well worth the upgrade. | ||
 | Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP Webcam ( 961422-0403 ) | |
| "Software only outputs at 15 fps and wmv format." | 2007-06-17 |
| I have been reading various reviews on both Logitech and Creative webcams. It seems that with each company, the user experience varies. This camera works well with my system but only outputs at 15 fps giving a strobe like effect with motion. It only outputs in wmv format and this may be the reason for the poor picture quality. I wonder if avi would be better. I really like the camera but the software needs an upgrade to support 30 fps and avi. In contrast, I just bought Creative's lastest webcam. Their software will not work at all on my system and crashes the computer. | ||
 | HoMedics Therapist Select Shiatsu Massager, Model No. SM-100 | |
| "Best I have found for neck but could be better" | 2007-03-22 |
| I have a HoMedics SBM-300 Therapist Select Shiatsu Plus Massaging Cushion that is great for my back. I have both this and the HoMedics BKK-100 Therapist Select Shiatsu Spot Massaging Cushion that I bought for my neck. I greatly prefer this product for my neck. It could be improved to vary the speed, intensity, and width. It could also be more comfortable. | ||
 | Go Paddle - Beginning to Intermediate Kayak and sit-on-top | |
| "Could have had more detail." | 2004-06-07 |
| Very basic introduction to kayaks, equipment, and technique. The technique portion was most useful compared to books because you can actually see the techniques. As I say, it is very basic and it would have been very useful to go into much more detail on all subjects. I would buy it if I were just learning about kayaking. I would highly recommend the "Brent Reitz Forward Stroke Clinic" DVD - For kayaking this is a 10 on a scale of 1-5. It is mainly on the forward stroke but also on stretching. This is a fantastic DVD. I will be watching it over and over and over again. I had no idea of the the many subtle movements that make up the ideal forward stroke. | ||
 | Comanche 4 | |
| "Too Difficult" | 2001-11-22 |
| The game looks very good for gamers that like to play on settings of very hard. Unfortunately, I am not that good. Because there are not 5 difficulty levels from very easy to very hard and even on the "Easy" setting I cannot get through the missions I am unable to play the game. | ||
