Better then all mp3 player

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 03:45:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - I bought my 702 when I was going to Hong Kong and haven't had any problems yet in the last few months. MD is an awesome format. I record music from MP3's onto MD. I debated between a MP3 player and a MD player for about a month. Finally I got both, but I...

Get the newer PMP500 instead

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 03:39:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - I have been up to date on the developments in mp3 technology for well over a year now so I'm quite interested in this product. I have about 1 Gigabyte of mp3s on my computer at home and theoretically would find such a device invaluable. I could use this...

An Awesome CD Player

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 03:32:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - Panasonic is the leader in futuristic electronics. The Panasonic Shockwave CD Player represents the future standard for portable digital audio. The unit has excellent anti-skip technology. The 40 second anti-skip buffer is more than enough to absorb any...

Excellent Product but it has its draw backs

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 00:09:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - I got this phone because my other non-digital cordless phone was interfering with my monitor. The 900MHz transmission is superior to any other phone I've ever heard, digital or otherwise, and this particular phone is priced at the level most non-digital...

Palm V works for me and it looks GREAT!!!

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 23:55:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - I've had the Palm Professional for quite a long time until I gave it to my brother. Finally I felt the need to upgrade and I was stuck on whether I would get the Palm IIIx, Palm V or wait for the Palm VII. I compared the Palm IIIx and V in a store... no...

Great product and lip-sync problem is no more of an issue

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 23:45:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - After hours of research online, I decided to trade in my JVC XV511 DVD player for this one. Of course, I read about the lip-sync issue, but I also found out that Sony has corrected the problem with a firmware update, and models currently at the store...

Good Value for beginners and semi-experienced

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 23:34:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - I have sporadically used camcorders in the past, and with the birth of my first son I decided to invest in a dv camcorder to relay videos back to the grandparents. I purchased two camcorders to compare them, one being the DV910, the other a JVC...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Just a Sound Blaster Live with extra software

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 05:58:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - I was trying to decide which SB Live! sound card I will get when I upgrade my system. The difference between the Live! MP3+ and the Live! X-Gamer is the bundled software. Then I decide to get the MP3+ since I like to listen to music more than playing...

EXCELLENT COMPUTER SPEAKERS

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 05:42:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - These speakers are the best you can get for the money. The CSW 5.1 channel digital are better, but unless you have a DVD player and really want great digital audio, go with these. I have tried Boston Acoustic Digital speakers and some other high priced...

NetGear SB104 Network Starter Kit Networking Hub: Excellent value for money, great performance

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 05:24:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - I bought this network kit to play multiplayer games (i.e. quake, half-life, etc.). It is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The cards were simple to install, and the guy i talked on the phone when something went wrong was friendly and exceedingly...

ViewSonic's Professional series monitor

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 04:55:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - I really couldn't believe this when I plopped this giant monitor on my desk. I used to have an old 17" monitor in this spot, and with this new 19" monitor I suddenly had 6 more inches of desktop space!

ViewSonic is one of the best...

Greatest design ever!

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 04:49:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - I received this as a gift, but as a gadget lover, I was destined to be a "sure thing" for this mouse. The optical tracking with no moving parts makes this a huge step forward. If the net is a place you spend a great deal of time, this again...

Violent Cop

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 22:10:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - Looking at the video box, you'd probably figure that this series is nothing more than a mindless shoot-em-up with little in the way of a decent story or character development. At least that's what I figured. Yet, it is a little more than a simple...

Getting kill so many time...

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 22:05:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - After watching this series I have concluded that immortality is a curse. Big time. Seeing Yakumo get killed so many times I was wondering how he maintained his sanity for the duration of the series. Whether he's being hit by a bus, crushed under debris,...

Bubblegum?

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 21:37:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - Bubblegum Crisis is considered a cyberpunk classic by many anime fans. It certainly has a pretty good legion of supporters. Of course, with fame also comes hype, and sometimes the product doesn't live up to it. And while Bubblegum Crisis isn't quite as...

Perfectly blue

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 21:30:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - A lot of fans had been clamoring for the release of Perfect Blue. For one, it actually saw limited theatrical release including being premiered at Fant-Asia '97 in Montreal, Canada. Secondly, it's a psychological thriller, something of a rarity in anime...

Girl in Video

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 21:24:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - The romantic-triangle (or pentagram, tetrahedron, whatever) is a pretty typical plot device in anime dealing with relationships and Video Girl Ai is no exception. It's your standard romantic comedic fare with a slight twist. That is, the "video...

Ninja Scroll

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 10:42:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - When I first saw Ninja Scroll, I was just getting into anime and had seen a few other "ninja" animes (which by the way sucked) and they paled in comparison to what I believe is one of the best action anime movies ever.

Set in early...

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 10:31:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - The Street Fighter series is one of the most popular and longest running game series ever and of course you can expect a anime movie based on it. Fortunately for us, its a actually a decent anime.

The story is based around the most...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - Tenchi Muyo in Love is the first ever movie based on the Tenchi Muyo! franchise. Based totally on the 1st Tenchi TV series, this picks up where the TV series leaves off. like it said up there, Kain has escaped from his GP prison and looks to get his...

Iria

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 09:45:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - Iria is an excellent Anime based on a live action movie called Zeram(which I haven't seen myself, but have heard is not as good as the Anime).This 6 episode long series is packed with excellent good, great characters, and lots of serious kick-ass action...

Matrix, is it real?

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 08:52:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - The Matrix is an exercise in sheer and unadulterated coolness. From the dark shades and high-tech black leather Western jackets worn by the principal cast to the Hong Kong/John Woo-inspired action sequences, there is simply no other phrase that best...

Take control of your life!

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 19:27:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - Ok, I have to admit that I don't like the idea of The Sims when I looked at the preview of the game out there. Then my brother bought the game and of course I tried it out. To tell you the truth, I didn't like it at the beginning, most likely because I...

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 17:13:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ruri - First, I am NOT any kind of professional photographer, so take my experience here in that light. The Olympus D-450 was my first step to go digital. I did some research on which manufacturers produce high quality camera for low price before buying and...
