REVIEW
muchhhh better feels a lot more durable than my other controllers. i have 2 six-axis controllers, and im not gonna lie, both of them had something little inside of them broken within the first couple weeks. the games i play use the shoulder buttons quite often and the spring for the triggers broke. ive now had this controller for a month and it is still in great shape while still playing the same type of games.
More than $1,100 and I still can't play I have been playing video games for more than 20 years. My first gaming console was the Nintendo Entertainment System. Since then, I have owned SNES; N64; Game Cube; XBOX; XBOX 360; PS1; PS2; and now, a PS3. IAfter extensive gameplay on this generation's gaming consoles, I have to say that I am extremely disappointed with the leap off the cliff with the quality assurance of the consoles and games.
I purchased the whole HDTV/HDMI/PS3 package. The PS3 60 GB was working fine until I played Fallout 3. After hours of frustrating glitches; game freezes; unresponsive controllers; heavy audio static; system resets and crashes, my first PS3 wouldn't read Fallout 3. The problem became so bad the system will no longer read any disc. Since it's out of warranty, I am kind of screwed. I went ahead and purchased a newer model of the PS3 80 GB. I have also tried six copies of the game, all with the same painstaking results.
All Sony Technical Assistance could offer me was a replacement. I'm sorry, but that won't be enough. Why is it that I have to send in a brand new PS3, not even a week old, in to be replaced? The same thing happened with Microsoft and my XBOX 360. I had thought when I was purchasing a PS3, I was escaping the system freezes and substandard customer service. Well, I was dead wrong. I never had these issues with previous generation consoles.
Now I'll be out of a PS3 for another two weeks. What happens if Fallout 3 doesn't play, then? Neither Sony or Bethesda will claim responsibility for releasing bugged software/hardware.

Great Product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This new PSP is the best. It is fun to call people with the built in mike. It's screen dosen't show lines that are visible by my son, a 14 year old. Anyways, this new PSP is a major upgrade from my sons old 1000 series PSP. It ways much less, and is thinner, and eaiser to hold. Overall, a great product with the most beautiful silver shine. Buy one, my son calls it "DA BOMB". He also loves the games and movie it came with. The memorystick it comes with saves you $20 to.

REVIEW
Great keypad! This keypad is very stylish and sleek looking on your controller. I expected it to be bigger than it was, and it is actually quite fit. It takes some getting used to typing on it, but after you do it's a piece of cake typing fast. There are many useful extra buttons on the keypad that make normally long things a snap, as well as a lot of different symbols that would take forever to look up if you need. It adds a little weight to the controller as a whole, but nothing significant. Definitely get this keypad, as it is worth it!

Piano Black Is A Winner I suppose we all know what the PSP is on a functional level so I won't go into all of the product description and what have you. I'm loving the 3000 and am so pleased to have it in the lovely piano black; was equally pleased to have received it the day before "release". Great handheld and Amazon's price really cannot be beat.

Works well, black This cable appears to be well made and works well. I use it to connect my PS3 to a Samsung SyncMaster 245T monitor to watch blu-ray movies in 1080p hi-def. Glorious! If it matters to you, be advised that the cable I received (as well as the ones I've seen in local stores) was black, not white as shown on Amazon.
Amazon.com The layout of PlayStation2's Dual Shock 2 controller is nearly identical to that of the original PlayStation's Dual Shock controller, which is good news for most gamers. The main new feature is that, when the buttons are pushed, the controller can register how much pressure is being exerted. This adds a completely new dimension to sports, racing, fighting, and more games. Aside from the Start and Select buttons, all of the functions are analog for greater control, a wider variety of operations, and a more compelling interactive experience. Two convex analog thumb pads and two force-feedback solenoid rumblers round out the features. This controller is also compatible with all software that supports the original Dual Shock controller.
