We finally got one of these and all the Xbox Guitar Hero stuff fits right into it! We have two guitars and our own mic stand so it's a little tight but it all fits and it works great as a foot rest for the sofa!

I got this item as a Christmas gift and was disappointed when one of the top hinges had a screw stripped and the lid would not open and close properly. The instruction sheet listed a limited warranty and said to contact Cohesion at the toll-free number listed to obtain authorization to return the product. I tried the toll free number off and on for a month and every time I called I got a recording that said they would return calls withing 24 hours. However, when I tried to leave my name and number, the recording would say "mailbox is full". I never could get in touch with them and there was no physical address listed on the instruction/warranty page.

This little game storage ottoman is a great buy. It holds all my Guitar Hero gear plus a couple small throw blankets. With enough room for a dozen or so games. It's built very sturdy and looks pretty classy as well. My 2 1/2 year old loves it as well, she sits and lays on it more than she does the couches. In short, this ottoman is perfect for smaller gaming areas while still affording plenty of space for your gaming needs. Buy one and enjoy.

I bought this to store all of my kids band hero stuff and it works, looks nice, and gets the drum set, guitar, microphone, and remotes etc. off the floor of our family room. The only down side for me is I am the only one who puts it away (just like everything else in our house). You do have to slightly take the drum set apart but it's not a big deal.

The red fabric that lines the interior is a little cheap and you can tell the drum stand was welded by an ameteur but all in all it's a good value. It's long enough to store a guitar controller and it stores a lot of our living room clutter. It is also big enough for two people to sit on which is an added bonus.

Wow. What a classic game. As the other poster mentioned, there is a quickdraw minor bug still on the game. Im guessing it was hardcoded into all versions of the game, including the PC and Wii versions. Anyways, this is a great game when you want to play as a cowboy and shoot at video's of people on the screen.

Wow, this collection brings me back. It works just as it did when I first played Mad Dog Mcree over a decade ago. It also has the same problems. Sometimes the quickdraw sequences don't respond quickly and the acting of the characters is like a B movie. All in all it's a decent live-action shooter.

Folks, you do realize retail stores such as Best Buy still have a lot of copies of this for less than half this price. Let the E-Bay gun jumpers find something else for now.

I purchased these screw drivers on March first and they were at my door by March 3rd. Fast shipping and I received a very small bitted precision phillips head screw driver and a tri-wing screw driver. Purpose: I bought these because I needed a tri-wing to replace my Wii DVD drive. Background: I'm a computer geek so I've ripped apart literally hundreds of laptops and am used to precision tools. (I worked for a computer company and was certified on all IBM, Toshiba, HP, and Dell laptops Now, these 2 tools will work perfectly to remove the case from your Wii. The issue that everyone has complained about is when they use the tri-wing screw driver on the 4 screws that hold the dvd drive in place. These 4 screws are torqued down very tight to prevent the dvd drive from vibrating them loose and causing damage. I used a small magnetized flat head screw driver to remove these. In my experience, phillips head screws always strip when they are torqued down tightly. Using a flat head works much better for removing. It also gives you 2 chances to remove the screws if they start to strip. Magnetizing your flat head will make it much easier to put the screws back in. Just a regular refrigerator magnet swiped across the blade a few times will do the trick. I used these instructions before taking apart my Wii: [...] Quality: These are better than my companion tools. Are they perfect? No. I never expect precision screw drivers to last. They get lost, broken, or altered all the time. Summary: The low rating is mostly from people who used the tri-head on the dvd drive screws. Follow my lead and use a flat head on those screws and you will be just fine.

Triwing stripped itself and the screws. Was not the right size for the ds lite as stated. Am very disappointed.

Triwing tip chipped and bent on the first screw I tried to remove. Poor quality.

I was able to remove two silver tri-wing screws but when I tried to remove the black tri-wing screws, the screwdriver itself stripped. Now I can't put back the silver tri-wing screws.

I had bought this set to repair various Nintendo products I own and it got the job done. However, there were a few minor problems using the tri-wing screwdriver. As many other reviews have mentioned that the screw driver is prone to rounding the screws. This is true because the tip of the driver is too narrow and sharp and it dose not fit snug with the screws. Lucky I found a "fix" to remedy this problem and prevent rounded(damaged) screws. Simply, just reduce the tip with a metal file. After carefully filing down the tip in very small increments , the tri-wing screw driver now fits properly and I am now able to use it properly without fear of rounding and screws. I really hope the manufacture will fix this problem in later batches.

It did the job i needed it for however if you want to save yourself a headache just send off your nintendo to get it repaired.

This is the same model tri-wing that I had the misfortune to buy. Completely stripped two screws immediately. Absolute junk. Avoid

This is the same tool included with the replacement Nintendo DS Lite shell I just finished installing. The new shell was great, but this tool is JUNK. If you can successfully remove and reinstall the screws on one unit, one time, without stripping the heads and/or the tip of the tool, count yourself lucky.

It doesn't fit the screws exactly, but it's close. If you apply pressure and are very careful, you can get the screws in and out without slippage.

this tool is horrific. all it succeeded in doing was stripping the screws down to nothing~ stay away.

This franchise is one of the few that can safely refute the old adage that sequels are never as good as the original. Indeed, it's something of an amazement how the Potter franchise has managed to maintain such quality of filmmaking after so many sequels. I think that's why interest is still so high for these films after so many years and probably why the final book is being split into 2 films, to milk it for all they can - not to imply the story isn't worth it; I'm glad their are two more films to look forward to rather than just one. But, as with most of the other larger book translations (eg. Goblet of Fire) there was a lot of interesting moments cut from the film rendition that we can only hope may someday be restored in the eventual ultimate BD editions ala the first two films (assuming they were actually shot). As is, the sixth film in the Potter franchise plays more like a filler to build anticipation for the final installments, than a self-contained story with a unique and notable purpose of its own. The series has become progressively darker and more mature with each installment and this is no exception. Gone is much of the innocense and naive wonder that built this esoteric cobblestone world. But for those of us so enthralled, seeing it visually imagined as capably, dare I say, brilliantly, can be reward enough (assuming the final chapters make up for the story that this one lacks) even if there is little payoff in the end. As for the BD, I think Warner's authoring has gradually improved over the past couple of years. The days of their masters being biased for the limitations of the DVD format seems to be drifting further and further behind - at least for new release titles. Most of their catalog HD offerings still tend to be a little lacking in detail - often more than a little. But with films that have been recently mastered like this one, there's little reason to complain, based on 1080p/24 projection onto a 100" screen (smaller displays will no doubt be more foregiving, just as larger projected images could magnify problems I didn't notice or at least didn't find too cumbersome).

This item came exactly as described and shipped super fast. I'd recommend this seller and would do business with them again.

This is a great Movie! Some changes from the book but all in all a winner if you love Harry! The characters are becoming more mature with the seriousness of the threat of the deatheaters. My 'used' DVD arrived looking just like one off the shelf!

No Harry Potter fan will miss seeing it. We'll all buy it no matter what any review says. I've read all the books and bought all the movies. This movie might be better for those who haven't. Director Yates has obviously got a broken wand. I'm not sure why he felt it necessary to not only rewrite the book's story line but to reinvent the environment. Hogwarts, the Weasley house and their surroundings have no continuity to previous films. Why? Like most fans I looked forward to this movie. I held off until I could get the special edition which I preordered. I was so disappointed after watching the first hour or so that it took me over two months to finally watch the whole movie. At least our expectations have been lowered to the point that the next movie may seem better. It may not be a bad movie in itself but when you love the book and the movie title is "Moby Dick" you don't expect to get "Free Willie". We'll all buy the next two Yates interpretations which will make his sales statistics look great. Who knows. Maybe magic will happen and he'll get a new wand. Since he butchered many of the lead ins to the last book my hopes are low. But who knows, he didn't do such a bad job on Order of the Phoenix.

I originally bought a new one for the release date in December, when it came it would not play. Amazon refunded the money and sent me another. It played, and the whole process was quick and easy. So Amazon needs to get into selling things on their own, some of the comapnies they sell for do not do as good a job or are impossible to get a refund from.

In some ways, "Sorcerer's Stone" is the best Harry Potter movie. It's light enough for kids, but the story is engaging enough for adults. The beginning of the film really captures the magical world of wizardry, from the goblins to the first quidditch game. It stands well enough alone as a movie - you don't really need to know much about Harry Potter before watching it. The kids are excellent actors. Rewatching it again after many, many years, I was impressed with the range of young Ron's emotions (by contrast, I find his later character a bit boring and pouty). They're adorable and frankly well cast. Some of the later Harry Potter films are better produced and have better special effects, but few are so satisfying.

The second installment in the Harry Potter series has some fun moments. I love the character of Gilderoy Lockhart. He's well played and adds humor to the movie. Hagrid's character also gets some more development. I'm not as crazy about the plot. It's a bit too convoluted, and much of it is never really explained well (even after watching "Half-Blood Prince," I still don't understand how Voldemort could have controlled Ginny Weasley or lived through a book). Dobby was really annoying. He's way too dramatic and a sadomasochist to boot. Would anybody really believe that programming a ball to attack and almost kill Harry Potter was really going to succeed in keeping him away from Hogwarts? It just doesn't add up. Also, the basilisk and spiders were somewhat disappointing and pretty dull. The spiders aren't as exciting as Shelob in Lord of the Rings. The basilisk was somewhat believable, but sometimes looked like a big movie prop. Maybe a special edition could be released with better monster designs. Overall, this is probably tied with "Half-Blood Prince" as my least favorite in the series. It's definitely worth watching if you like the Harry Potter movies, but should have been much better.

Works great. Hooked it up to a second tv so the Wii box can moved back and forth without having to disconnect everything else.

We enjoy the WII, which is great. Like many others, I damaged the Nintendo factory sensor bar with the vacuum. There is nothing postive to say about this cheap receiver bar. The problems are: 1. Jerky as all get-out. Appears to have a harder time detecting the direction-position-motion of the WII remote that the Nintendo version did. 2. Short range - works best at 5 feet, erratic at 7 feet and fails utterly by the time you get 9 feet away from this receiver bar. 3. Others who complained about crappy adhesive are right: I had to use my own double-sided tape to make it work. The weird stuff included as an adhesive pad is worthless. I'm trying to avoid the troublesome wireless receiver bar, but I may have no choice. This just doesn't work unless you get right up close to the screen. Junk.

Well. I got the sensor bar for my girlfriend. And it works perfectly fine. Thanks.

I was one of those that had the vacum gobble up the chord on my original sensor. I was a little worried when I read some of the reviews here but it works just like the original. I've had this for two months now and it works just fine.

The product was shipped quickly and arrived in good condition. The shipping seemed a little high in comparison to the cost of the item. Otherwise I was completely satisfied.

This product works great, and luckily I found detailed instructions on how to configure this thing to work with my Asterisk server. Currently use it to make a Google Voice phone call with a traditional phone.

This is a great product with tons of features (which actually work)! I bought the second one (for a different location) after using the first one for six months without any problems. I use both the ATA and the VOIP to PSTN gateway features on these which have been working fine.

The SPA3102 gives you both an FXS port (for a phone) and an FXO port (for a phone line), it's two devices in one box. Each device can operate independently or can be made to interact with the other. It's great for a start-up VoIP system where you want to have one phone and access to one phone line from the PSTN. Be aware that this is NOT a device that is made for plug and play. You have to know what you are doing. It is an extremely flexible device with MANY options. Which means it can be overwhelming to a beginner. A lot of the options can be left at default but you still need a basic (at least) understanding of networking, SIP and VoIP to get this working with a provider or VoIP PBX. If you know what you are doing, this unit can be up and running in 10 minutes, otherwise you'd better have a lot of patience. This unit is the successor to the SPA3000, first released by Sipura, which was bought by Linksys, then Cisco. they added a few more features upgraded firmware AND a router. Most people will already have a router on their system and will probably just disable this feature and use the second Ethernet jack in bridge mode allowing a second device to be plugged in, saving a port on your router or switch. All in all a great unit, but not made for the inexperienced, do some research if you aren't quite sure if this is for you, there is a lot of info on line

Although VoIP is slowly moving more and more mainstream, a device as flexible and as configurable as the Linksys SPA3102 is not for anyone who either is not comfortable with programming the ATA with your VoIP provider's SIP settings or coming up with an approprate dial plan for your device that is compatible with your provider. With that as a caveat.... This device is PHENOMENAL! I love the potential for PSTN dialing (either by prefixing your calls with a code or by programming certain numbers--like 911--to go directly through the PSTN line). By manipulating the dial plan, you can also program certain key combos (*101 for example) to speed-dial certain numbers. You can program the SPA3102 to allow yourself to dial into your device via your VoIP line and then subsequently dial out the PSTN line (using a number of authentication methods including caller id, PIN, etc.). Likewise, you can set it up to allow yourself to dial into yoru device via your PSTN line and then subsequently dial out the VoIP line (one way to save on long distance?). It's robust, reliable and cheap (just $10-20 more than a PAP2T-NA). Just be prepared to do a lot of googling and "self tech-support"! In all seriousness, there is a wealth of information out there on the SPA3102. It is a popular device for VoIP users and is often the BYOD (bring your own device) of choice!

I generally like this product, but there's one problem with it. Likes: Lots of options, VOIP stuff (the most important stuff) works fine. Dislikes: The PSTN functionality is very poor. If the unit has no power, it just passes the PSTN connection through, which is fine. Kind of a 'fallback' mode if there's an electrical outage. However, if its powered on, the PSTN audio has a distinct and annoying echo. You can mitigate it a little by tweaking the "Echo Cancellation" settings, but you won't get it to go away, and it was enough for me to decide just to ditch the PSTN line and go VOIP only.

Not quite sure if it is an advantage buying this "designed" for Nintendo, but it does the job with no complains. A little overpriced comparred to regular 8GB SD card (if there is any difference?).

Well, by th time I purchased this memory I was completly sure I could store th games I had for nintendo Dsi, and play them on my nintendo. But, it wasnt!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to purchase a R4, so I can store n play my games.....!!!!!! This memory only works for pictures n music...........

When it has came down to the power of the Nintendo DSi, there are so many ways you can get you gameplay, not only from storing great pictures you can make, but from all the games you can download online from the Nintendo DSi Shop. That can comes well, when you get so many great games, but when there is so much room already stored in the Nintendo DSi, you honestly would need a strong memory card to store all your data. That comes well with this Sandisk SDHC Memory Card, specially made for the Nintendo DSi. The memory card works like a charm where you can store all the great photos you can make from your time on the go, to storing all the great DSi Shop titles like Art Style: Aquia and Dr. Mario Express. Not only that, but it also works great for when you want to bring in your memory card in to print up and develop your photos for print-up. At its price, I absolutely recommend this as a must have for anyone whom wants a great way to store and play all your favorite Nintendo DSi memories and games with extra storage to match. Price: A- Convience: A- Overall: A-

Like the title says, it looks stupid but works great. I only use the audio for this. My PS3, TV, and computer are hooked to my audio amplifier through this. If I want to switch the speakers to the (PS3/Cable/Antenna), I turn this ugly looking knob right and if I want to switch speakers to the computer, I turn that ugly knob left. They should make it smaller and change the color to black. The gray looks out of place except maybe by a PSOne. Also the knob has a tiny dot on the top which tells you which port you're using. I had to use a sharpie to draw a larger dot indicator.

I needed to be able to run three components (DVD player, VCR, and computer) into my stereo system. The stereo is small and it's old, but it is of good quality and has great sound and speakers. But it only has one set of audio inputs on the back. I am able to run the three components into the Sony Selector, and then run the one output to my little stereo. I only use the audio inputs and outputs on the device. It works just as I had hoped. One minor negative is that I can not see which device the dial is turned to. There is a red indicator but it's too tiny for my sorry eyes so I used a Sharpie pen to label it and now I can easily see where to turn the dial. Not even worth withholding a star. So happy to have found this item because it's made my life nicer.

This was shipped very quickly and works exactly as it is supposed to work. I considered buying a generic brand that was cheaper, but I knew I could trust Sony, so I paid the little bit extra and I have not been disappointed. It is really simple and the video and sound quality transferred are excellent.

This is an excellent choice if you want a simple component selector device. Easy to use, compact and solid.

I ordered two of these items for my make-shift home theater system, and they're everything I expected. As at least one reviewer mentioned, contrary to the packaging, they can switch audio signals without any video connection. Similarly, even though "In" and "Out" connections are labelled, signal can be passed in either direction, letting you split either your output or input. (I currently have one sending my computer's audio signal to one of three sets of speakers, and the other switching one of the speakers' input between the computer audio and game console audio.) The product is just about as compact as it can get for switching up to 9 signals (6 audio and 3 video), and the color is actually a darker grey than the picture suggests (which I like). It also doesn't appear to degrade audio quality noticably, even going through two switches (admittedly, I'm not an audiophile). My two complaints are that the selection knob can be difficult to turn, and the red marker that tells which input / output is selected can be difficult to distinguish in poor lighting. However, the construction is quite sturdy; I can't see this item breaking down anytime soon. Overall, I highly recommend this product to people looking for a compact, simple audio / video switcher. (Note: if you want to switch signals on a 3.5mm stereo connection, you'll have to purchase cables to split the signal to dual rca left and right signals, which is what I'm doing.)

Easy to use and does what it should. less than 5 minutes to set up and hours of frustration gone.

I thought this little device was going to be the answer to my prayers BUT it only came pretty close. I was so tired of changing the cables on the back of the tv every time we wanted to switch back and forth from the Wii to the DVD player. The problem with this gadget is I still have to switch a button on it back and forth from the DVD to the Wii. I thought I would be able to use all the products at once theoretically, without moving anything. But no, I still have to go behind the tv and move a switch, at least it's easier then unplugging and plugging all the colored cables in.

This simple AV selector is ideal for people using multiple game consoles (especially for TV's with only one RCA input). The selector is practical and is a great value at $10. It was nice that it includes an approx. 6ft RCA AV cable to run from the switch to the TV (or receiver). No more hassle with switching cables behind the TV.
