What can I say that isn't positive about these things?
I guess the only thing is that they have to exist. The make using the L2 and R2 buttons on the PS3 controller feel a lot more natural.

Gone are the days of your fingers easily sliding off of the buttons.

$5 for a way to remove controller frustration is $5 well spent. They even sell these at wal-mart and best buy now (though under a different name).

I really do like this headset as it has great sound quality and it also has a mute button. I really enjoy the fact that if I need to stop talking online for a minute because I need to speak to my wife I can just press the mute button on the side and it is muted.

It also does a pretty good job of eliminating the feedback loop. I have a friend who is using a cheapy bluetooth headset and you can tell the shielding on it isn't that great. Every time I talk to him or someone else talks in-game it echos through his headset. It is like the mic doesn't isolate the sound from the ear piece very well. While playing with 4 other friends who all own this headset I do not run into this issue.

The biggest issue this headset has is that it takes a while to get it in a comfortable spot so that it can be worn for hours on end without your ear starting to hurt. I bought it when it came in the SOCOM bundle.

The keyboard works well, but the positioning left a lot to be desired. I really liked the placement of the 360 chatpad as it sits below the controller instead of above. It felt as though while using the ps3 pad I'd have to reach above the controller to type a message and then re-position my hands back on the controller. It also made the controller top heavy as the analog sticks were no longer the center of gravity. The 360 pad felt more natural in allowing me to barely slide my thumbs down. It also allowed the controller itself to feel a little more balanced overall.

The only thing keeping this keyboard from rating higher to me was the placement.

I was fortunate enough to win this item a couple of months ago and I'm finally getting around to writing a review for it after putting in some time using it.

The device is well constructed, but I'd suggest that you don't move it once you find a spot you want to put it. The power adapter can easily slide out with the slightest tension.

It holds my controllers nicely and switches from red to blue upon completing the charging. I've also tried to charge the official sony ps3 bluetooth headset, a blackberry 8830 world edition phone, and a nextar mp3 player. All of them use a USB-B connection to charge them and two of the three devices charged well.

The notification light worked well for the blackberry 8830 and the nextar mp3 player and both charged fully. The sony ps3 headset did not charge. In fact, the lights just blinked on the power pyramid while the device was slid onto one of the usb-b connections.

If it had worked for that device, it would have been the perfect accessory (Yes, I know it wasn't designed to charge the headset so that is just my being wishful). That along with the inclusion of a standard usb port to allow you to charge devices that don't use USB-B.

I don't know if I could justify the current $50 price tag, but it is priced close to other 4 controller charging solutions. While I have 3 controllers with the third being a recent addition I cannot justify the 4 port device. Energizers charger only supports 2 controllers and retails for $30. On a side note, the Konnet Power Pyramid that supports 2 Xbox 360 controllers and 2 PS3 controllers retails for around $40. If you're a multi-console home, it becomes the more space convenient option.

Great item, I bought it as a gift after reading positive reviews. Nice to see stimulating verses, as well as interesting photos. A great gift for children, bringing them some intellect and culture along with a beloved character.I particularly liked the page with Hello Kitty in the devil suit, the unexpected elements in this book are quite entertaining.

I am mostly familiar with the works of Hayao Miyazaki and this was quite a departure from that. I was worried that I might not like it, however just a few moments into the beginning titles with it's imaginative imagery and great music that makes you want to hear it again, I was hooked. Paprika is a full story with shades of love, humor, drama, etc. The writers should be commended for the levels of humanity they have created in the characters that make you care about what is happening to them. The imagery is wonderful it stays in your mind. I still smile when I think of the alligators in the parade! This is definitely worth seeing.

I had checked this CD out from my local library many years ago now. I liked it so much that I put it on a list I keep of musical pieces I particularly like. I tried to get the CD a few months ago and discovered that it is no longer in the circulation collection of the library. Luckily I was able to find a copy for purchase here. I was so excited when it came, I have listened to it multiple times since I received it. The early music presented on this collection is a delight, the recording is excellent and the performances are outstanding. If you have a thing for the haunting tones and melodies of early music this is a must have for your collection. Jewels like this shouldn't be out of print!

This CD was on my "to get" list for years. The only thing that delayed my obtaining it is that it is out of print, and somewhat sought after which makes the copies that do come up for sale a little overpriced. Personally, I think paying any more than $30 for this CD would be way too much. The music is very emotive and beautifully presented, but there is little to no variation on most of the tracks making it one of the less inspired movie soundtracks available. That being said, if you fell in love with that main theme music as I did, it is a fun treat to listen and recall the wonderfully played scenes of the film in your minds eye.

I fell in love with this series at age 16, and now at age 29 I am sharing the episodes with my Fiance. Waiting for God is delightfully humorous while exploring the lives of "the elderly inmates" as Diana puts it, as well as the lives of their relatives and care givers. I have always enjoyed how this series strips away the mask of old age and makes you see the essential human lives that are still thriving for these individuals. I love the story arc, at the end of this series there is no disappointment, you are left with happy contentment at the final events for these friends you come to love - even the Idiot Baines. Enjoy!
