The Xbox 360 HD-DVD; Exceptional picture, questionable quality

Sat, 2 Dec 2006 10:52:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - It's tough not to be intrigued by the $200 price point of an HD-DVD player in today's market. Having never compared HD-DVD or Blu-Ray against the quality of a standard DVD I was set to return this unit if I wasn't impressed by the picture. Well,...

Wed, 29 Mar 2006 00:28:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - As I quickly approach the upper echelon of Howard Stern's proposed target demographic I assure all of you that I wasn't desperate to subscribe to Sirius Satellite Radio. When my wife asked if I would be interested in Sirius for Christmas I was mostly...

Mon, 9 Jan 2006 19:01:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - I thought long and hard about my options when it came to the fate of my trusty Gigabit G4 Dual 500. Already upgraded to the nines with plenty of memory, a superdrive and an ATI 9800 Pro video card, did I go the $2400+ route with a new G5 dual processor...

Sony DVP-S560; 5 Years of Frustration

Sat, 31 Dec 2005 13:10:52 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - Sony’s DVP-S560D; 5 years of frustration. I purchased the Sony DVP-S560 from Best Buy in 2000 for $299.00. Reviews (non-Epinion reviews – I should have known better) had this model pegged as one of the best DVD players available at the time. “Hey,”...

Logitech MX700 CORDLESS OPTICAL (MOUL930754): Logitech MX700 - Fun while it lasted.

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 18:34:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - When optical mouse technology emerged it was a matter of days before I was in the store picking up the MS IntelliMouse Explorer. To Microsoft's credit they, in my opinion, set the standard of how an optical mouse should perform. I also had the pleasure...

Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 - Believe the Hype

Sun, 1 May 2005 08:30:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - I have been using Mac OS X since its introduction. I felt that Apple truly got it right with Panther as I had experienced flawless performance right out of the box. So when I initially heard about Tiger I really wasn’t chomping at the bit to...

PSP - Cool gadget! Review from a Gen X'er

Fri, 25 Mar 2005 15:21:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - I am a casual, middle-aged gamer. I didn't need to purchase Sony's SPS. I have been very content with the few games on my cell phone. Regardless, I am a child of the 80's and I love video games! Give me a device that allows me to play games, watch...

12" iBook G4; A Review

Fri, 20 Feb 2004 00:52:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - I have always been intrigued by the Apple's iBook since its introduction. Not necessarily the design, mind you. The clamshell / toilet bowl design wasn't as attractive to me as the idea that Apple was offering an affordable laptop computer. It became...

Logitech Extreme Action Controller for PS2 Review

Fri, 21 Nov 2003 18:04:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - I knew it! I just knew it! I should have listened to my gut and stuck to Sony's own PS2 controller to replace the controller that came with my system. I started to notice that the touch sensitive buttons started to need a little more insensitive touch...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - I walked into my local Cingular Superstore a few weeks ago on a mission. I wanted to purchase a phone that I wouldn’t want to “trade-up” in a year. A phone with features out of the wazoo. Features including Internet access, a high capacity...

Thu, 17 Apr 2003 13:20:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - In an attempt to reduce the coffee table clutter that existed in my home I started looking for a solid universal remote. I had eight, count 'em, EIGHT different remote controls for my home entertainment system.

I came across the Sony AV2100...

Mad Catz 900MHz Dual-Force 2 Controller - A bad investment

Mon, 20 Jan 2003 14:12:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - In an attempt to get off of the floor and park myself on the couch, some 8 feet away, so I could comfortably play Grand Theft Auto and Madden 2KX I looked to the 900 MHz Wireless Dual-Force 2 Controller from Mad Catz.

Having owned Mad Catz...

Thu, 19 Dec 2002 17:57:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - I have been an OSX user since it's introduction and a Mac user since the late 80's. Let me start by saying that 10.2 was a MUCH needed upgrade. Prior versions were plagued with issues that non-UNIX "power users" like myself painstakingly endured...

Epson Sytlus Photo 780; AVOID!!!

Thu, 10 Oct 2002 15:44:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author thesman - I was a proud owner of an Espon Color Stylus 600 that provided me with excellent quality prints and a high reliability in its day. Based on that and a bevy of rave reviews by magazines like MacAddict and MacWorld I thought that the $99.00 Epson Stylus...
