I bought this when it was 20 Xbox games. There were no demos, a a good variety of games, but all were scratched really bad. They appeared to be rental copies, which these probably are as well. 4 of the 20 that I got didn't work.

Yes, using Voipo as my main line; I ported my phone number I've had for 15+ years to it, and I'll be able to take that number with me anywhere I go (no plans to go anywhere at the moment). I've had it for ~6 months with zero issues. The Cisco/Linksys device they use is rock solid, I have had...

This is a good price, but if you liked GOW1, be prepared to be disappointed. I played GOW1 and GOW2 back to back, and there's no comparison. GOW2 is half to 2/3 rail shooting, platform jumping, and other silly stuff, that most FPS gamers will not care for.... lots of gimmicks that look...

It's pretty well assumed over on the DSLreports forums that the $99/year will be available in year 2, if you ask for it. No guarantee, but I suspect that's what will happen. They don't make you buy the hardware, so there's nothing to lose. If they decide to raise the price in year 2, just...

I looked at MagicJack (really a scam company if you do your research) and I also considered Ooma. Don't believe what Magic Jack says about getting your money back. Customer service is non-existent. After doing lots of research, I settled on VOIPo, and it's been terrific. It's $99/year...

This is a great deal, but I already have 2/3 of these....

Take a look at reviews. The GH World Tour instruments have a very high failure rate. There's a reason why they are blowing these out, but Rock Band 2 is still at the regular price. Here's a link (Google it yourself and you will get tons more) : Link The drums have all sorts of problems...

I agree, T-mobile is the best pre-paid service. You can convert most any T-mobile phone or unlocked GSM phone to pre-paid by buying a pre-paid SIM card on Ebay. My wife had it and it was great, but the coverage was not as good as T-mobile on a contract.

I thought about getting that board, but it will be obsolete in 2 weeks. The boards with the Intel 865 and 875 chipsets are getting ready to come out with 800 Mhz FSB and Dual DDR 400...... http://www.anandtech.com/chipsets/showdoc.html?i=1806&p=4

I see deals regarding Newegg refurbs posted on here often, but their site says that refurb motherboards do not come with any "accessories". What does that mean? Does it not come with any of the cables, brackets, etc? I don't care about the standard cables, but I wouldn't want to buy a MB...

Most of those aren't good prices anyway. I found the Canon G2 elsewhere for $450 before discounts and rebates. Dell price after discounts = $599. The G3 is out now (and available for $585), so Dell's price is crazy.

If the price is close, the M500 is by far the much better deal (I have owned both). The M500 is much smaller and thinner, but has a bigger screen, and most importantly flash ROM, which means the operating system can be upgraded to OS 4.1 and beyond (if Palm releases another 4.x operating...

These things look too big. I have an Ipaq 3970, and it is almost too big and heavy to be convenient (i.e. almost too big to be carried in the pants pocket, much less shirt pocket). In the comparisons I have seen, the Axim is much thicker. The new Ipaq's (don't remember the model #) are much...

Stay away from these DVD+RW only drives. The "RW" formats are much less compatible with DVD players and other drives and the disks are more expensive, not to mention that RW burns slower!!! Make sure that you get a drive that can do both "R" and "RW" whether it's DVD-R or DVD+R. Drives that...

Sandisk cards are also incompatible with some brands of PDAs
