Customer Review: No Pointing - Easy to Use - Original Product - Good Price…
I’ve given it 5 stars because i can’t think of something that I don’t like about it. This is the easiest way for someone who doesn’t know how to use a controller, to watch dvds/bluray on the ps3‘>ps3. It’s an original Sony Product so quality assured. It’s got every button that the controller has even R3& L3 should you ever need them, plus its got its dvd/bd command buttons.

My dads been watching series after series of Dallas recently and they are slightly scratched so skip on our normal dvd players, but work perfectly on the ps3‘>ps3. Now that he has the remote its easy for him to watch his dvds on it without having to get out of his lying on the sofa position because theres no pointing required (bluetooth radio signals). he can even press eject on the remote to see where the next cd needs to go!

A real necessity for true ps3‘>ps3 accessory collectors also.
Customer Review: Essential gear for the none gamer.
If gaming is your scene, and playing around with the supplied games contoller is second nature to you, then this remote control will probably be way down your ‘must have’ list.

If, however, you are like me and bought the PS3 more for playing Blu-ray and up-scaled DVDs than for the games, then having this piece of kit is just about a no-brainer. The non gamers ‘must have’.

I bet, though, that like me you will continue to point it at the Playstation even with it being Bluetooth and not I/R !!

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (PS3)


Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (PS3)
Insomniac Games has overhauled its proprietary PS3 engine technology to create the most visceral Ratchet & Clank universe yet, overflowing with exotic creatures and flying vehicles.

The PS3 system’s superior power enables Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction to bring vivid worlds to life with increased draw distances, enhanced lighting and shadowing, and more fluid and exaggerated animations.

Discover an all-new galaxy spanning vast worlds such as a majestic cloud city and a space-age amusement park.

Encounter an entirely new cast of expressive characters (and some old favorites) as well as the introduction of a variety of new alien races and life forms.

Experience a more emotive Ratchet with nearly as many animation joints in his face as PS2 Ratchet had in his entire body. This joint density applies to many of the characters featured in Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, enabling more detailed, personable and expressive characters.

Clank returns as a playable character, and Ratchet will have new enhanced abilities.

Fire a fully stocked arsenal of all-new weapons such as the Plasma Beasts and Tornado Launcher, which uses the Sixaxis controller to direct tornadoes that suck up enemies and whip them around with debris.

Use the Sixaxis controller to maneuver, destroy enemies and solve puzzles.

Upgrade and customize weapons with a new system that provides greater power and flexibility. Players also will have the ability to upgrade Ratchet’s armor.

Utilise Ratchet’s new supply of consumable “on-demand’ combat devices, such as the Groovitron, which causes enemies to dance uncontrollably to ’70s disco hits.

Gadgets gameplay returns as Ratchet and Clank will have more gadgets at their disposal to help them bounce, fly, evade and defy gravity.

Pilot Ratchet’s ship through asteroid fields while trying to destroy enemy fleets in a complete redesign of classic Ratchet & Clank space combat gameplay.

Customer Review: Very High Quality Entertainment. *****
I got my PS3 on launch day and Motorstorm aside this is: as said by another reviewer on amazon: The first must have title on the PS3. If you have played the PS2 ratchet and clank games then you would be forgiven for thinking that this is more of the same. Which it is and isent. This is ratchet and clank with bells, whistle’s and all that! This game looks great on a standard tv and beautiful on an HD tv. I have both types of tv; but where this game comes into its own is gameplay. Smooth and fast gameplay with puzzles and combat. I downloaded the demo of this game on the ps3‘>ps3 network and after the endless stream of rubbish that the PS3 has delivered this game not only bucks the trend but puts the trend into hospital! This game is colourful, noisy and fun. The groovetron which makes all enemies stop attacking you and dance saturday night fever style is top draw. Worth the money unlike half of the PS3 rubbish. Dont get me wrong I like the ps3‘>ps3 but sony needs to deliver now and they havent. This game is a big step in readressing the balance. READ THIS SONY and note. Save your overpriced console with some good games and please drop the price……. I know the PS3 is better than the 360 (And I have that too) but the only way to proove this is with quality games like this. Try playing oblivion on a 360 (which I have) and on a ps3‘>ps3 (which my mate has) And the ps3‘>ps3 just delivers unlike the continuous loading/slowdown of the 360 version. Buy Ratchet and clank!

Customer Review: PS3’s standout title so far
I had this on pre-order and received it on the release date. Having played it through fully twice now I can honestly say that it’s one of the most fun titles I’ve played on PS2 or PS3 in a long time.

The graphics and sound do the immense power of the PS3 justice and if you’ve played any R&C games on the PS2 you’ll immediately appreciate the enormous step up in quality. The draw distance is phenomenal and the skies are busy with animals and craft. Ballistics and explosions are brilliantly realised and the water effects are second to none. There is no doubting that the developers have unlocked a colour palate untouched so far on the PS3. This is the prettiest game you will play this year.

As always there are a plethora of new weapons to unlock, and the classical R&C sense of humour remains. It’s obvious that Insomnia have just been dying to unleash some of these on us for years but haven’t had the processor power to do it. When you see a room full of baddies dancing to DISCO and the flashing lights of the groovetron for the first time it’s tempting to just watch agog at how much is going on on screen and how much attention to detail there is.

It’s not perfect; I’ve found it a little easy in places and the difficulty is lower than some of the previous games. There are occasional graphical glitches with bits of smashed boxes seeming to hang in mid air and the occasional monster getting stuck behind bits of landscape. You’d have to be mad to let this sort of thing detract from the sheer immense amount of fun there is to be had though. There’s tons to do, and if you’re the sort who likes to get 100% then you’ll be playing it through at least 3 times before you get all the skill points and unlock everything in the game.

Buy this game, you’ll not regret it.

Customer Review: A Good Value Pack
In this review, I will go through each item and explain why they make up a great pack. - Carry Case: This is a snug case which fits the psp well. It also has a little pouch to carry headphones and the screen cleaner in, but I would advise you buy a UMD Disc carry case because the space isn’t really secure enough for games. - Data Cable: Your average data cable. Works fine and is essential for getting all your music, videos and photos on your psp. - Car Charger: A useful little device. The lead is long enough and its great for long journeys. - Earphones: They produce a decent sound whilst also not dusturbing anyone else. Essential for those quick games at home when no one else wants to hear you blowing things up. - Wrist Strap: Although it doesn’t look all that stylish, this strap still feels strong enough to support your psp. It can also be easily detactched to store in the pouch of your case. - Screen Protector: An excellent protecter which is easy to fit and has rigid sides so no air bubbles get stuck. It fits and protects the psp well and you don’t notice it’s there. - Cleaning Pad: A useful cleaner which you can keep in your case. It is effective but, with the screen protector on, it hasn’t seen much use yet. - PSP port covers: These are three small rubber stoppers which cover the data cable, charger and headphone inputs for your psp. They prevent dust from coming in, but I don’t think they are realy that necessary. Nonetheless a bonus. Overall, this pack is great value for money and all the items in it perform excellently.
Customer Review: Screen Protector
This is just a note about the screen protector - I think you are meant to use the rigid piece of plastic with the black border to protect your screen - not the very flimsy cling-film type thing. The rigid sheet has an adhesive border and because it is rigid you do not get bubbles behind it.

Spider-Man 3 [UMD Mini for PSP] [2007]

How does Spider-Man 3 follow on the heels of its predecessor, which was widely considered the best superhero movie ever? For starters, you pick up the loose threads from that movie, then add some key elements of the Spidey comic book mythos (including fan-favourite villain Venom), the black costume, and the characters of Gwen Stacy and her police captain father.

In the beginning, things have never looked better for Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire): He’s doing well in school; his alter ego, Spider-Man, is loved and respected around New York City. And his girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), has just taken a starring role in a Broadway musical. But nothing good can last for Spidey. Mary Jane’s career quickly goes downhill; she’s bothered by Peter’s attractive new classmate, Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard); and the new Daily Bugle photographer, Eddie Brock (Topher Grace), is trying to steal his thunder. Enter a new villain, the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), who can transform his body into various forms and shapes of sand and who may be connected to Peter’s past in an unexpected way. There’s also the son of an old villain, Harry Osborne (James Franco), who unmasked Spidey in the previous movie and still has revenge on his mind. And a new black costume seems to boost Spidey’s powers, but transforms mild-mannered Peter into a mean and obnoxious boor (Maguire has some fun here).

If that sounds like a lot to pack into one 140-minute film, it is. While director Sam Raimi keeps things flowing, assisted on the screenplay by his brother Ivan and Alvin Sargent, there’s a little too much going on, and it’s inevitable that one of the villains (there are three or four, depending on how you count) gets significantly short-changed. Still, the cast is excellent, the effects are fantastic, and the action is fast and furious. Even if Spider-Man 3 isn’t the match of Spider-Man 2, it’s a worthy addition to the megamillion-dollar franchise. –David Horiuchi

Then I can’t find the product on the X-oom website support page and support won’t respond to any of my emails or answer my questions. A total waste of $[...]!

Spider-Man 2 [UMD Mini for PSP] [2004]
More than a few critics hailed Spider-Man 2 as “the best superhero movie ever,” and there’s no compelling reason to argue–thanks to a bigger budget, better special effects, and a dynamic, character-driven plot, it’s a notch above Spider-Man in terms of emotional depth and rich comic-book sensibility. Ordinary People Oscar?-winner Alvin Sargent received screenplay credit, and celebrated author and comic-book expert Michael Chabon worked on the story, but it’s director Sam Raimi’s affinity for the material that brings Spidey 2 to vivid life. When a fusion experiment goes terribly wrong, a brilliant physicist (Alfred Molina) is turned into Spidey’s newest nemesis, the deranged, mechanically tentacled “Doctor Octopus,” obsessed with completing his experiment and killing Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) in the process. Even more compelling is Peter Parker’s urgent dilemma: continue his burdensome, lonely life of crime-fighting as Spider-Man, or pursue love and happiness with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst)? Molina’s outstanding as a tragic villain controlled by his own invention, and the action sequences are nothing less than breathtaking, but the real success of Spider-Man 2 is its sense of priorities. With all of Hollywood’s biggest and best toys at his disposal, Raimi and his writers stay true to the Marvel mythology, honoring Spider-Man creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and setting the bar impressively high for the challenge of Spider-Man 3. –Jeff Shannon

Customer Review: Hacking the PSP 2nd Edition
In this book there is some half descent stuff although there are also some very pointless hacks and there are sections on how to make car mounts which I didn’t really think should be in a hacking book. To get the most out of this book you really need a psp with firmware 2.6 or below and gta liberty city stories (the old unpatched version) and wipeout pure. I would strongly recoomend not to get this book unless you have this stuff. There is this section which tells you how you can play multiplayer games with one disk and when the game does not do game sahring. I promise you this is well easy. There is a really detailed section at the end about programming and homebrew and there is also some very complex information about the intert on the psp. This is what you are really paying your money for. Although quite a bit of this stuff you do need to download off the iinternet so before you buy this book make sure you can download.

Customer Review: Great little piece of kit
Sony’s PSP has been given a slight revamp and is now suposedly 33% lighter and 19% thinner than the old model. Does this mean much? Not to me because I’m new to the console anyway. So let’s just start this review by saying I can’t compare the Slim & Lite to the old PSP but what I can do is talk about this version on it’s own merits. Let’s get the most important question out the way first - is it worth getting? Oh yes, without a doubt it is! There is a lot of debate over which is better, PSP or Nintendo DS - personally DS holds no interest to me whatsoever. DS, like Nintendo’s full-size console (Wii), is for casual gamers - it has innovative controls (like Wii) with it’s stylus system but the games generally aren’t what’s classed as “hardcore” games. DS revolves around quick and simple pick-up-and-play-games like Nintedogs, Harvest Moon and Brain Training - I find these games tedious. Personally, I want “proper” games - racing, shooting, fighting etc - the games I have grown up with as a committed gamer. You won’t find many of them with DS but you do with PSP. Admittedly PSP started out as nothing more than a portable that received far too many stripped-down PS2 conversions but things have moved on slightly since then. The quality of games on PSP is impressive and improving all the time - the graphics, sound and kind of presentation this portable is capable of is nothing short of amazing. When I first loaded up Killzone Liberation for example, I was greeted with an incredibly smooth, detailed high resolution FVM sequence - you wouldn’t find that kind of cinematic presentation anywhere on DS. A quick note on a much-maligned area of PSP - the analog nub. Some people find it very awkward or uncomfortable to use - it’s not actually so bad. At first it can seem a bit innacurate but after a few minutes you should become accustomed to it. It actually works great for racing games like Test Drive Unlimited (although it’s a bit sensitive on Burnout Dominator so I tend to stck to the D-pad for that game) but I have yet to try it on a first person shooter (the kind of games it is most criticised for). So what’s good about PSP? + the screen is incredible - large, smooth and bright + the PSP is easily most powerful portable on market + the PSP is incredibly versitile - games, movies, pictures, music, internet…. you name it! + wi-fi connection meaning online gaming and internet browsing + loading times of games on Slim & Lite is good; the games I own generally don’t take any longer than CD/DVD games on larger formats (XBox, PS2, 360 etc) + battery life isn’t too bad considering the kind of games it can play (I imagine they would be quite demanding on the battery) + good selection of games for the console - it is getting all the big franchises, not to mention one or two exclusives of its own Anything not so good about PSP? - it can get a bit uncomfortable when played on for extended periods - aching thumbs can be an issue (or maybe it’s just me) - when loading UMDs the PSP makes an annoying whirring noise (it’s just a bit noisy for my liking) - the D-pad can creak sometimes (not sure if it’s just my PSP or not) - it soon gets caked in millions of fingerprints due to its shiny surface Overall, I think this is a marvellous piece of technology. PSP is without a doubt the most advanced portable ever released and for any serious gamer I would recommend this very highly. Only thing I will say is that if you’re thinking of buying a PSP, remember you need a memory card in order to save anything - I would opt for at least 2GB memory stick, preferably a 4GB one. I’m afraid this means more expense (a fifth negative on the console if you like). But overall it’s worth the price I think.
Customer Review: If you have the big psp - avoid this!
I already own the large psp and thought I would down size to the psp lite, What a mistake! Yes its smaller (not by much) yes its thinner (by quite a bit) but it feels tacky, the UMD slot that used to pop out your umd in a slick motion of mechanics is now a flimsy pull down cover that looks and feels tacky. I thought it would have new themes and maybe some built in pictures/games - No!! (I mean if you upgraded to a new sony ericsson phone you’ll expect new wallpapers and pictures?). All you get is some new coloured backgrounds and the ability to watch your stuff on a tv. You don’t get the headphone adaptor (with volume control) or even a soft case. Battery life is still no better and the volume seems to be less that the old model. If you don’t have the old model and your new to handheld gaming - get a DS, not this. If you already have the old model - keep it and just accept its big size. I do like the psp, its brilliant for watching movies,playing music or viewing pictures-the low score is for the new lite version compared to the old large version. Steer clear unless you have money to burn.

Customer Review: PSP COVER GOOD BIT OF KIT
Silicone case is In matt black, but I found it gives you a lot better grip for when playung games. No problems with the bottons you need for game play. Fits well and easy to fit!!! The screen cover is good, there is no bluring, I only got two small air bubbles, but this was to my fault for lettting go.
Customer Review: A bad start
Upon recieving the product I first noticed the lack of instructions and the bad condition. Even sealed in it's case it had managed to cover itself in bits of hair and fibre which replenish every thirty seconds. The cover was an unnappealing shade of matt black which made my psp look ugly. There are no holes for the start,select and vol buttons etc. The case restricts movement of the analogue stick and most of the buttons. The material is badly formed and does a terrible job of protecting the psp. The screen protector does not fit very well and at failing on the first try to apply it and trapping air bubbles I was appalled to see permanent imprints where they had been, making the screen protector useless. This was the first purchase I have made from the internet and leaves you with an ugly hard to use psp that ressembles a car tyre. Not somthing I would reccomend.

PSP Media Manager (PC)
List Price: ?14.99
Amazon Price: ?14.48
Customer Review: Not SO cheap afterall…
Not so sure what the rating of this software should be but the price is way too high. After registering my new PSP Lite I quickly discovered one needs a so-called “promotional code” for a free copy of Media Manager… On sonycreativesoftware you can find this for half price and if you do a proper search on an American website, it’s free and only takes up 27MB of space. There you go! We are once again being screwed when our American brothers get this free.. Just like Itunes.. So much for “brotherly love”…
Customer Review: Not worth the money
Program, although good, has to many serious flaws 1. There are better programs available for free that cater better to a PSP users needs 2. The video converter is slow, buggy, outdated, and has bad compression. There are many free video convertors designed specifically for the PSP that do an excellent job 3. It makes things to easy. How hard is it to find a song, and drag it into the music folder. Seriously?? Good piece of kit, one of the better paid AIO, but not honestly worth ther money

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)?? With the Pro Evolution Soccer series renowned for its fluid, realistic gameplay, the new game builds on the implementation of Teamvision with additional key advances. As with previous releases since its inception in 1996, the ball is again treated as a separate entity, with the timing of shots entirely down to the player, while the new AI ensures that defenders work to close down space and block efforts on goal. Similarly, distribution of passes works along the same lines, with players using the space available to them to switch the ball. Close control has also been enhanced with more control when dribbling the ball, and a number of subtle moves added to bypass defenders and move the ball into space.
Customer Review: Completey fixed!!!
Although the game did suffer from lag slightly offline and massively online, the new patch which can be downloaded when starting the game has completely fixed it!! paving the way now for one of the best pro ev games if not the best, the passing is so slick and beating a defender is alot easier than recent years, the true pro ev and indeed football fans will now get to play the finest football game, one word superb!!!
Customer Review: Pro DEvolution 2008
I’ll be honest, when I first got into football games on to consoles, the first one I owned was FIFA International Soccer for the SNES. Although dated, isometric and unofficial, the game was a pretty good experience. It showed me that as long as the game was fun to play, that alone could overcome some of the game’s short comings.

I was a FIFA fanboy up until 2005 (on my Gamecube, yes, I stayed loyal to Nintendo too) when after being “forced” to play the so-called enemy, Pro Evo, I was hooked. The game lacked a licence and didn’t have the hundreds of teams FIFA offered, but instead, went for the more realistic approach to the game, it was more fluent, goals required actual skill and was an overall more satisfying experience.

I eventually gave up on FIFA and ended up for the next two years buying a second hand PS2 just to play Pro Evo 5 & 6. When the next gen consoles came along, I went with the PS3 and I eagerly awaited Pro Evo 2008. I hoped that the game would have the near-perfect of the original games with the added bonus of crisp, high-definition graphics with a better online mode.

So, come late October, Pro Evo 2008 was released, I knew it had a lot to live up to, despite turning on FIFA, I actually enjoyed FIFA 08 despite some problems but still deep down knew it would be well and truly trounced by it’s counter-part.

Sadly, my hopes came crashing down, along with mine and many others.

Pro Evo 2008 to bluntly put it, shouldn’t have been released. This isn’t just my opinion, this is a lot of people’s, including its creator, Shingo ‘Seabass’ Takatsuka who has stated the game shouldn’t of but had to be released. If that hasn’t warned you of the bashing this game will get, then this message should.

The most important part of Pro-Evo is the gameplay. The PS2’s titles although had a few ningles, we’re pretty much flawless. Although it has transcended well, a few too many bits and pieces haven’t. Controls are exactly the same as before (which is fine if you’ve played Pro Evo before, but newer players will pick it up in time too). There’s a few new features, one of which is diving, which will either cause you to jump for joy after winning a penalty, or feel like killing your system if the game does the same to you. The A.I for your opposition is alright, it still hard to score and if you make a good set piece, then chances are you weren’t lucky and you generally did a good job.

The referee however seems to be in a time warp and has gone back to the ways of Pro Evo 4, in that, he hands out cards like breaths of air. Seriously, unless you do a slide tackle from the front and win the ball, chances are, your player could be sent off. In a multiplayer game I had, I had 3 players sent off for fairly normal tackles (in Football, a contact sport, keep that in mind) whilst my friend had 4 players kicked off for similar challenges, normally straight reds. It might be Konami’s way of making sure slide-tackles are used to a minimum and discourage players from using them in the real world, but sometimes, when it’s needed and it’s a slight mistake, you’d think they’d be a bit more lenient.

Looks wise, although this is the PS3 (which has had a pretty mix card in its first year) and although it’s Pro Evo, I did expect a bit more bling for my buck. Sadly, the game just doesn’t cut it. Even on a Hi-Def TV, it still looks pretty poor. Pitches look drab, the crowd looks pretty poor (which it always did, just now, you’d expect they’d have the power to perhaps, touch it up). Some players look like their real life counter-parts, but for others, it will be a complete guessing game and it can be pretty distracting.

Speaking of distracting, how about we add a bit of lag to the experience? Yep, Pro Evo, famed for its fluency and well paced action, has now replaced it with slowdown and lag. Some stadiums are worse then others, but replays, many players on screen (e.g. corners and battles in the middle of the pitch) and online have suffered tremendously. Luckily a patch has just been released which does cure most of these problems, but online is still pretty much unplayable and the odd problem still happens offline.

Overall, Pro Evolution 2008 is the start of Konami’s venture into next-gen consoles (you could include last years since PE6 was on the Xbox 360, but since there was no PS3 or Wii versions, it’s the first game with all next-gen platforms) and it’s gone pretty downhill. Instead of just updating PE6 with fancy graphics, some new moves and an updated roster, something else happened and this is the end result. It’s done some good things, but as a whole, its a very disappointing experience and not worthy of buying (which is evident with the recent price dropping). If you want a real football experience on your console, keep PE6 and wait until next year, if your that bothered for a next gen football game, FIFA 08 is your only other option, which after this travesty, doesn’t seem that bad anymore.
