4 out of 5 stars Good Price - But caution re. "built-in" write-protect switch".......2007-09-24

Good price, I needed two, and by buying two I got free shipping. I loaded up the first one with no problem. The 2nd one i plugged into a port on my Canon printer, and when i tried to load files onto it, got the error msg that the drive is "write-protected". There is no little write-protect switch on these things. Called Kingston tech support to ask about the "built-in" write-protect switch" they didn't seem to be able to explain how that works or how to turn it off, and said if you can't write to it, you have to return it. This was not what I wanted to hear. Then I moved it to the SD port on the computer and was able to write to the chip with no problem. Printer must have a bad port (not enough voltage to write?). Note - Actual usable memory was 1.87Gb.

5 out of 5 stars With a Price that Can't be Beaten!.......2007-09-23

For me, it came down to the Kingston and Sandisk. The final verdict? Kingston had a cheaper price and guaranteed me lifetime warranty. I haven't had a problem with it yet and to be honest, I'll be buying another one soon. Why pay $25 in stores for a 1GB when you can get a 2GB for the same price?

5 out of 5 stars just wow.......2007-09-20

i got it in one day
so fast, the product is just what i wanted for my phone, and it all works
super fast shipping, it was so cool how i got it under 24 hours when i didnt even order the fast shipping
will recomend

4 out of 5 stars Its too good.......2007-09-19

Initially I was a little bit apprehensive on how a 2 GB memory card would perform on my cell. But now its really good. There hasn't been any problems and I would like to give it a THUMBS UP :)

5 out of 5 stars Excellent card.......2007-09-18

I bought mine when it was around $18 + shipping at the time. No problems with it, great price, fast delivery, and it does it job. Highly recommend it and you can't really doubt Kingston since they are known for making memory products.

Product Description

Contoured to perfectly fit a player's hand, the Nunchuk controller goes an extra step to meet the needs of gamers. It features the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller, with an analog stick to assist in character movement. Use it to move your characters and have them perform all kinds of specific actions -- whether it's throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action game. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers grants accessibility seldom seen in game controllers.

Amazon.com

The Wii Nunchuk controller is a secondary controller that adds even more innovation to the next generation of gaming, and does it all with less physical movement.

Used in conjunction with the standard Wii remote, certain games need the Nunchuk controller for additional control options. Contoured perfectly to fit a player's hand,


The Wii Nunchuk (left) connects directly to the Wii remote. View larger.
the Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller. The Nunchuk contains the same three-axis motion sensor found in the Wii Remote, but also includes an analog stick, and two buttons to help assist in character movement.

Many games will allow you to control your character's movement with the Nunchuk in your left hand, while your right hand is free to execute the action movements with the Wii Remote. For example, the Nunchuk is particularly useful for games like Wii Boxing. You can use the Nunchuk to punch with your weaker hand, while you use the Wii remote to punch and jab with your predominant hand.



Take the fun to the next level with two-handed control of your games. View larger.
In first-person shooters, the Nunchuk controller carries the burden of movement, freeing you to aim and fire using a more natural motion with the Wii Remote. In a football game, you can make your quarterback elusive with the Nunchuk controller while you search for an open receiver to throw to using the Wii Remote. Serious gamers may even want to use two Nunchuk controllers to gain a fierce competitive edge.

Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. Perfectly suitable for either right or left-hand use, the Wii Nunchuk controller grants accessibility not often seen in previous game controllers.

Also, the Nunchuk controller doesn't need its own power--it plugs into the Wii Remote controller when it's in use. So there's no need to worry about charging or replacing expensive batteries.

Adding a Nunchuk to your Wii system will definitely help you open the doors to the next level of gaming, and seriously step up performance. Just be careful not to knock out your significant other, or bruise the dog, severely, while using one, or two Nunchuk controllers.

5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2007-09-26

Its just a compliment to the Wii system that is a great gaming platform for all ages

4 out of 5 stars Fun necessity for Wii Games.......2007-08-25

This is an essential accessory for those who want to take full advantage of the Wii gaming system. Boxing is fun with someone you love, but it also serves as a good aerobic workout for you using this device. Other reviews have done a very good job explaining the tricks for using this, so I will just comment that you need to get at least 2 of these (buy an extra) if you get the system. Four if you are getting a full sytem.

4 out of 5 stars A must have for the Wii mote.......2007-08-20

You'll need a wii mote to use this and many games will require you to have it in order to play. It uses the batteries from your wii mote. It can detect motion like the wii mote but you can't point at the screen with it. I t has an analog stick and two buttons. The only cons are that it does not vibrate, you can't click the analog stick like the xbox 360 controller, seems overpriced, and it is not included with the wii mote.

5 out of 5 stars Nothing Bad, a good controller............2007-08-20

The Wii Nunchuck Controller is an attachment to the Main Wii Controller which is sold seperatly. Theres really nothing much to this except you most likely need this for most games that are out right. I just wish they didn't have to sell this seperatley from the main Wii COntroller because the Nunchuck is an important thing to have. Why do we have to pay over $20 just to get this which can only be powered by the wii controller and that the only thing that this has are 2 buttons and a Joy-Stick. A more reasonable price for this is $9.99 or maybe even $14.99, but over $20 is a little much for this kind of thing.

5 out of 5 stars A must have, if for nothing else than Wii Boxing.......2007-07-18

It's only $20 and worth it just to be able to box against another person.

5 out of 5 stars Nothing to complain about..........2007-09-27

Yes, the 360 pad is probably the most comfortable controller that I've ever owned. Wireless is a massive convenience and while the design doesn't take many risks, it bests most in its ergonomics and functionality.

Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Goodie.......2007-09-21

What can be said, same as the wireless controller that came with your Xbox 360. Quality controller and you 2 to play someone else so go for it.

5 out of 5 stars This is the best thing XBOX 360 have!.......2007-09-21

I don't know why the best thing about the XBOX 360 platform happened to be the controller, actually this is true in my case the console broke down on me a couple of times during the first six months but the control stay good as new, even after a few falls and heavy use

5 out of 5 stars Great Purchase.......2007-09-10

This is a great purchase, really does make gaming better and no hassle without all the chords. Wireless is definetly a good choice.

5 out of 5 stars A must have.......2007-08-23

This is one of those cases of "I didn't know what I was missing until I tried it"

I was fine with a wired controller and decided to get this just because I wanted to be able to turn off my xbox remotely from my bed, rollover and go to sleep without having to get out of bed to put the controller away.

I wish I had gotten it from day 1 now; the lack of cables is just so comfortable I can't go back to wired now. My dog no longer trips over the cord while I'm playing, I can have the controller with me while I'm on my computer and use it to browse through pictures, videos, or music in Media Center; and it makes watching DVD movies with the girlfriend all more enjoyable since I don't have to get all tangled up with the cable every time I pause it for bathroom breaks.

Battery life so far is great; I'm not a heavy user, but I've been using this controller for about two hours every night since I got it a week ago, even with the rumble feature on I still haven't had to recharge it once.

I highly recommend this controller, and while you are at it pick up a quick charge kit too.

3 out of 5 stars hdmi cable- make sure your new dvd doesn't have one before buying this.......2007-09-19

it works like other hdmi cables, it's blue, 2M in length, maybe a little overpriced considering they're all the same.

5 out of 5 stars Great For The Price!.......2007-09-18

I just got my Hdmi cables today and so far they are great for the price, i had $50 dollar Hdmi cables from RadioShack that i returned, and these cables look and sound the same if not better,i would get another pair of these cables

5 out of 5 stars Best Connection!.......2007-09-17

I am very pleased with this cable. It is the best connection for my PS3. The picture is great and the sound is awesome. Even though my TV can only do 1080i, using this HDMI cable give a better picture than my component cable. Dont buy those overpriced monster cables. This is a digital output. So this cables will work great!

5 out of 5 stars just as good as the other costly ones.......2007-09-17

This is a great HDMI cable for the price. At Best Buy it will cost you 3 times more expensive which is the same cable, it carries digital signal, so there is no distorsion, the cable has gold tip and is oxygen free cooper. At first I was in doubt but after I reading reviews from many customers I decided to give it a try, the delivery was on time, I hooked it to my samsung DLP 56" using a sony dvd player and the picture looks great. Don't pay for a brand name for the same thing.

5 out of 5 stars Best HDMI cable value.......2007-09-15

Quick service and great price. These 6 ft cables do everything the more expensive HDMI cables do and are such a great value! Be sure and check the distance needed between components.

Product Description

LINKSYS WRT54G - Wireless-G is the emerging 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B ( 802.11b ) products found in homes, businesses and public wireless hotspots around the country. The best part is, since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices talk to existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment. Operates as a DHCP Server NAT technology to protect against Internet intruders Supports VPN pass-through Easy configuration with web browser based configuration utility

Amazon.com Product Description

The Linksys Wireless-G broadband router is really three devices in one box. First, it's a wireless access point, which lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-B devices to the network. There's also a built-in four-port full-duplex 10/100 switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.

To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G broadband router can encrypt all wireless transmissions, and it supports the industrial-strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization. The router can serve as a DHCP server, has NAT technology to protect against Internet intruders, supports VPN pass-through, and can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet. Configuration is a snap with the Web browser-based configuration utility.

With the Linksys Wireless-G broadband router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multiplayer games with the flexibility, speed, and security you need!

Wireless-G is the 54 Mbps wireless networking standard that's more than four times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country. But since they share the same 2.4 GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices can also interoperate with existing 11 Mbps Wireless-B equipment.

Because both standards are built-in, you can protect your investment in existing 802.11b infrastructure, and migrate to the new screaming-fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow.

For more information on the differences between an access point and a router with access point, see the following table:

access point vs. router

See a comparison diagram of the different wireless technologies.

Wireless networks are rapidly becoming more popular and coming down in price. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere--without wires. Outside the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, and airports--great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.

Which Wireless Standard Is Right for Me?
Now that you've decided to create a wireless network, the next step is to figure out which wireless standard to use.

Basically, a standard is a set of specifications for a device. All devices that follow a specific standard share operating characteristics, such as the radio frequency used and maximum data transfer speed.

For wireless networking, there are three standards to choose from at this time:

  • 802.11b
  • 802.11a
  • 802.11g

To learn about the differences between the standards and select the right one for your network, click here for an easy-to-understand chart.

5 out of 5 stars Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router Review.......2007-09-27

I haven't really had a problem with this router. It's lightweight and easy to set up. All my devices pick it up well. It was a good buy and I'd recommend it to anyone.

4 out of 5 stars Overall, I recommend this to anyone that owns a second computer for nonessential matters........2007-09-27

I purchased this router from Circuit City (by the way, no one at Circuit City was helpful, but since I didn't want to wait for it to arrive, I decided to go to the store and purchase this) in March. I've have had fairly little trouble with it. Prior to purchasing this, I unknowingly thought that I already had a router. Because my second (wireless) computer was picking up a connection with a Netgear adapter. But (I have since learned) that must have been a neighbor's because I only had a Westell modem from Verizon that did not come with a router.

This router was a little tricky hooking up. Verizon walked me through it, though. Actually, I only purchased this brand because Verizon told me that they would not provide tech support if I purchased another manufacturer's brand. I suppose that doesn't matter too much because Linksys was the least expensive. I was on the phone with Verizon for over an hour until it was set up.

A couple of months ago, I completely lost a connection on my wireless computer. I called Netgear (the manufacturer of my adapter) and was told to call Linksys. Linksys was helpful, although it was difficult to understand them because they were located in India. The Linksys associate told me that my connection was erased because of a bad storm (does anyone else think this is an odd explanation?) and she did walk me through setting up a new wireless network from the adapter to the router.

Since my wireless computer has been set up I have had no difficulty keeping a connection. Every once in a while I will lose a connection (on my wireless computer) and usually if I turn my router on and off my wireless computer will regain a connection. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone that has a second computer like myself for nonessential matters.

It seems like none of these companies (Verizon, Linksys and Netgear) train their employees to "think outside the box." That is very frustering and disapointing. They all acted like it was unusual for someone to have 2 desktops in their home. They always automatically assumed that one of my computers was a laptop. And, when they found out that I had AOL they also found this to be odd. I was being looked down on because I had a second computer with AOL hooked up to it. It's like checking into a Marriott Hotel and paying cash; you know that look the hourly desk clerk gives? One gentleman even sarcastically said, "AOL is infested with bugs." But it isn't any of their business what software I choose to have on my computers. Because, they should be trained to welcome all customers no matter what situation their customer is in. Another thing I learned is that you should always speak up. Always ask questions, no matter how foolish you may think it is. That is what they are there for!

5 out of 5 stars Super easy home wireless router.......2007-09-27

Whether you are a pro or not with computers you can set this up. Easy to use instructions. We got the router and read the instructions first (contrary to most human nature) and found it easy to install both the hardware and software. We hooked this up to our desktop computer while we waited for our laptop to arrive. Due to Dell's delivery delay we did not install the wireless laptop for some time afterwards. The instructions for setting up the laptop went flawlessly, we were wireless on the new laptop in less than 30 minutes and that includes the time to unpack the laptop. It is handy to have an extra LAN cable for easy installation (which we had). Great job with hardware and technical support.

5 out of 5 stars Works like it should!.......2007-09-27

I ordered this because we needed both computers in our house to have internet access. I have to take online classes this fall and my husband likes to play fantasy football, check scores/weather etc. So it's just easier to have one internet connection do double duty. It was very easy to set up and works perfectly! We're very happy with this product. Thanks!

4 out of 5 stars Very good replacement for previous Linksys wireless router.......2007-09-26

This router has proved to be very reliable, but was not so straight forward to install. I thought I would be able to do an easy swap out, bu it required a call to Linksys support before I got it working, and they had me use a different IP address, no sure why.

Overall, very good. Would recommend.

Amazon.com Product Description

For students in math and sciences, or for anyone new to graphing calculators, Texas Instruments has created the TI-83 Plus--a powerful, problem-solving tool with features for storing, graphing, and analyzing up to 10 functions. Plus, it displays graphs and evaluates tables on a split screen, allowing you to trace the graph and scroll through table values simultaneously.



The clear, readable display exhibits 12 characters and eight lines, in 64 x 96 pixels on an LCD screen. The TI-83 Plus has a pragmatic key layout and an easy-to-use graphing interface, with a simple programming language for creating conversion programs. The TI-83 Plus stores and analyzes up to 10 matrices combined with data storage in lists containing up to 999 elements per list. You can also solve equations interactively for different variables.

With the TI-83 Plus, you can view an equation, its graph, and the coordinates all at one time. Jump from point to point by entering a number. Several useful plot types are available, including scatter, box-and-whisker, XY-line, histogram, and normal probability plots. Advanced statistics and regression analysis, graphical analysis, and data analysis are readily accessed, along with features for calculus, engineering, financial, logarithm, trigonometry, and hyperbolic functions--all crucial tools for advanced analysis.

With its clear display and fast processing, the TI-83 Plus incorporates graphing tools for mathematics and science course work, including statistics and finance. Incredibly useful for college boards--PSAT/NMSQT, SAT I, SAT II, Math, IC, and IIC--the TI-83 is essential equipment for advanced placement courses in chemistry, physics, and calculus.

The addition of the optional TI-Graph Link (software and cable) allows you to connect the calculator to your computer, permitting the transfer of files and data between machines. The TI-83 is powered by four AAA alkaline batteries and one lithium battery for backup, with an automatic shutoff to save energy. It also comes with a hard slide cover and is supported by a one-year limited warranty. --Barbara Price

5 out of 5 stars Good.......2007-09-23

It works fine, and I got it just in time. It was just as it was advertised.

4 out of 5 stars It Does the Job.......2007-09-23

I have been using the TI-83 plus for about three weeks now and I wouldn't go to my MA103 class without it. It does the job and is more affordable than some of it's other counter parts. All in all I recommend it, but if you will be going into much lengthier math studies in later years you may consider spending the extra money on the better versions of the TI series.

5 out of 5 stars This is a Great calculator.......2007-05-29

I been using thsi calculator since I was a freshman in college. I used it for Math Modeling and Statistics. I did good in both of those classes because of my calculator. I am about to use it for Chemistry. The batteries last long and the calculator can be used for any math or science class. It was worth the money to buy it brand new.

5 out of 5 stars This is a scientific calculator, so, READ THE MANUAL..........2007-05-14

It is not as easy as the TI-86 I had in 2000, it is better than the TI-83.

In 2000, I had a great professor in Statistics I. He broke the manual down, of the TI-86, into 30 pages of simple English, and, I "got it" on how to work it. This manual is a little more complicated and assumes that you know the stuff already. They forget that their market is- those who DON'T know how to already, they're students!

So, here's what you do. Set aside a day, yes, A DAY, to read and understand the manual. BUY IT BEFORE CLASS STARTS!!! If you can, buy your textbooks early too and PRACTICE IT! If you do, you will be spared what I went through.

All and all, it is a great product that I reccommend, but, you have to practice on it!!! GOOD LUCK!

4 out of 5 stars ti-83+ pretty good.......2007-03-18

I'm not really 13, but don't have an account anyways. It's good because it has a large user base and well does some things okay. It can do most level 1 calculus things. Don't expect it to go farther than the high school level. Although it seems crappy (kinda of is comparted to ti-89 T) and a little to expensive, (it kinda is), it does its job well and has plenty of user made games and programs that excel the functionality of this calculator. This guide lasted me 6 years, well until the battery spring crapped up. I dropped in dozens of times on hard concrete and accidentally kciked it while picking it up and does fine. So anyways here are some key functions:

2-d graphing, numerical integration, summations, numerical derivatives, calculates slope, area under a cure graphically, BASIC programming editor, all functions found of scientific calcs, Matrices, linking, applications, some other stuff, Lists, just a lot of stuff, solver, polynomials.

Downloadable: 3-d graphing, calculation of pi to thousand digits or so, grayscale games, world map, symbolic differentiation, formulas, etc. and sound files.

This is not a really powerful calc, if you want something that will last you, I suggest a ti-84 + SE. It's 2.5x faster, 9x the memory, has a clock, looks cooler, (bad key contrast though), nice screen, usb connectivity, just a bunch of cool stuff.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Perfect!.......2007-09-23

I just wanted to say this item is perfect. I have bouught several of the Kingston DataTraveler's and find them perfect for storing my music on. I hate tying up my hard drive with hundreds of mp3's and this works perfectly for that while still being able to access my music whenever I need to. I would recommend this product for anyone having storage problems. With no unnecessary software included like with so many flash drives the DataTraveler is more perfect for storing your items.

5 out of 5 stars Another Great Deal Kingston & Amazon Deal.......2007-09-23

I'VE BOUGHT SEVERAL KINGSTON SD CARDS AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE.

I KNOW SOMEONE WHO OWNS THE SMALLER VERSION OF THIS FLASH DRIVE & SWEARS BY IT.
SO I SET OUT TO GET THE SAME DRIVE, BUT AFTER TRAWLING THE WEB GIVEN THE AMAZON PRICE I BOUGHT THE 4GB.

ITS BEEN GREAT - NO PROBLEMS AND CERTAINLY FAST ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING THAT I NEED.

A VERY CHEAP OPTION FOR PEACE OF MIND!

I love it! It's small, lightweight and it works. (Gotta love that 4GB capacity too!)

4 out of 5 stars Good one.......2007-09-16


Nice one. You will get value for your money. File transfer is fast and storage capacity is excellent considering its price. Only area of concern is its cap, which does not appear to last for a long time.

4 out of 5 stars Go bigger........2007-09-27

Just get the 8gb version. Or whatever the biggest one is at the time your reading this.

I've put video on it w/o any problem. It does take a long time to cook as all video is in .MOV (Quicktime) format.

The entire E200 family is so far better than all of the C100/C200 players it's amazing. Don't even bother looking at the C series, especially if you think you might get the Sansa Base Station or about any other Dock for them. The docks work best with the E series.

The MicroSD slot is nice but it's probably cheaper to max out the built in memory now by getting the 8GB unit, which has all the same features.

1 out of 5 stars My first and last Sansa.......2007-09-25

I read quite a few negative reviews about the Sansa, but I still decided to give it a shot. When I got it, I carefully followed all the instructions and loaded my music. While listening to it, the screen went white and the Sansa died ... after less than one hour of play. And I mean it really, quite sincerely died. Guess I should have heeded all those negative reviews. I went to SanDisk's website to try to troubleshoot it, but the amount of work they expected me to do to on a brand new product was unreasonable. Fortunately, Amazon took it back and gave me a prompt and hassle-free refund. I'll stick with MUVO...

3 out of 5 stars Sansa E260.......2007-09-23

I really do enjoy this mp3 player, a very reasonable price for 4 gigs. I did not expect however 2 gigs will be pre-installed with music from Rhapsody, it would have been nice to select the songs myself...other than that totally satisfied witht the product.

1 out of 5 stars Durability-Customer Attention.......2007-09-23

I bought the Sansa e270 as a gift for my brother in May. Now in September its back part is all craked up with a little piece coming off. He hasn't dropped it. The company says that "my brother used it too much or carried it with him too long." The product page says that it can play 96 hours of music. If he already played that much, does it mean that the MP3 is already obsolete and it is disintegrating? Does it mean that a MP3 should be kept at home not carry it with you? Hello!!!I think these products are designed to be carried it with us and to stand continued use since that's why they were created for in the beginning. There is no complain about the performance since it does its job. The main issue you should put attention to if you are thinking about buying one of these is the durability. Also, the custumer attention. The company does not give you any option, but to buy another one. Amazon says that a refund can be issued only after 30 days of purchase. But the device was ok until a month ago. I had never heard of an MP3 cracking up and falling apart after just 4 months of use! What can be done in this case? Is it Amazon.com's fault for not doing a good reasearch on the companies they sell products from? Or is it the company for not making good quality products that can stand a normal period of use without breaking up and falling apart? That's why I gave it only one star. The device works, but only for a short period of time. Not even 6 months and it is already falling apart. I regret so much that I bought this in the first place. For the price I paid for it, I think that you better invest a little more and get yourselves an iPod. My sister has one, bought it in the same month and is fine. Or you can still buy yourselves the Sansa...and be ready to replace it every 4 months...You do the math...

4 out of 5 stars Sansa MP3, beats iPod for sure. .......2007-09-23

I bought this MP3 player and a new iPod at the same time. I returned the iPod, if that tells you anything. With this MP3 player, you are not tied to iTunes. I wish I had known which protective skin to buy for it because the one I have seems to interfere a bit with the volume roll button, but that's not biggie really. I pretty much use the player with my Rhapsody account and to load favorite songs from CDs. I had no idea how handy I would find the voice recorder. I can pop a message to myself in it while I am driving or working and my life is becoming a bit more organized by using this tool.
I also love having a radio feature. In town, reception is great! I can sit by the pool at the gym and listen to my favorite stations. The numerous features in this player take it far ahead of the very popular, however severely limited, iPod.

3 out of 5 stars BIG ISSUE WITH HD DVD SOUND!.......2007-09-27

Everybody says it is a great machine. It is a good one but not great! The quality of the picture is super; however no one has ever said anything about the issue of the sound that the manufacturer acknowledge they have with HD DVDs. When I play regular DVD I have no problem getting digital sound in 5.1 through my SONY receiver system; the up conversion is also fantastic. However when I am playing an HD DVD which is the main purpose of this machine the digital sound goes strait to the speakers of the TV, I can't get it on my reveicer system in digital 5.1. The sound does not go there at all unless I change the sound setting on the player from bitstream to PCM, which is a lower quality delivered in stereo not in 5.1. When I called Toshiba, they said this problem will be fixed in the future version HD DVD player. I am wondering why everybody is giving five stars to this machine which is defective by design? Why no one has ever talked about this problem?

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good so Far.......2007-09-26

Ok, I decided to take the High Def dive with this player cuz I wanted to create some HiDef DVDs and needed a way to play them. The first player I received worked on two commercial disks, then gave a no disk message each time I loaded a movie. Amazon was great in arranging for a return and sent another player out that arrived only 3 days later.

I was a little nervous since I had not even gotten the chance to play with the other one. After about a month of using it here's what I come up with:

Pros:
- Does a great job of upconverting
- Has played every movie I have tried in it, home produced SD and HiDef, and all commercial DVDs
- Easy firmware upgrade through internet connection.
- Easy internal setup
- Transfers both video and audio signals very well
- No problems with HDMI hook up
- Price
- Free movies (could be a better selection)

Cons:
- Slow to warm up
- On my self made DVDs with 30 secs loop menus, it cuts out and starts playing over at about 15 secs. The disks play fine on other DVD players
- There is a pause of about 25 seconds between the first play video on the DVD and the main menu. Again these play fine on other desktop DVD players.

Overall:
I am happy with the Toshiba HD-A2. We have it hooked through an Onkyo receiver to a Panasonic 50" plasma and both upconverted and HiDef DVDs look fabulous. Hope it lasts!!

4 out of 5 stars Best in Class, But not Perfect.......2007-09-25

I've had this HD DVD player in my home for almost a year now. It was a rough start but we've made nice since then. I still have not seen a better HD DVD player in this price range so I'm calling it Best in Class. The picture is great and the sound is fantastic. I have a very good audio system set up and use all digital hook-ups.

The drawbacks are that you do need to either connect to the internet to get regular (quarterly) software upgrades. I get mine via CD disk as my DVD player did not take well to the direct USB connection. The updates are easy and take about 10 minutes. Since the updates the load time for the disc is faster and I have noticed fewer glitches during playback. The biggest issue for me is the long start up time, about 1 minute from the time you press the power button.

Highly recommend, but its like a new relationship, take the time to appreciate it and you will be rewarded.

5 out of 5 stars Needs Upgrading.......2007-09-23

I purchased this refurished to go with my new 720P projector. This was in the original box and sealed. I am assuming that it was a factory refurb as opposed to an open box.

The projector was also refurbished as well and it came with DVI input instead of HDMI. The player has a regular HDMI output. There are known problems with the player outputting through DVI. Toshiba support told me to upgrade the machine to get it to work. When I upgraded it still did not work. I got back to Toshiba Support and they said I would need a disc. I found out that I just needed to upgrade a second time and it would work fine, and it does.

The HD-DVD upconverts and actually makes the detail in 480P DVD's approach the resolution of a HD-DVD. HD-DVD's on the two machines is just awesome.


5 out of 5 stars Great HD-DVD Player.......2007-09-23

This player is great. I've got it connected to a Dell 37" LCD via a cheap HDMI cable and the picture is VERY crisp (no need to spend tons of money on monster cables). I can't say that it does much to existing DVD's regarding the up convert though. When turning the player on, it's a little slow to boot up to open the door. I've got it connected to my network and did all of the updates for it over the internet instead of having to order a cd from Toshiba...great thinking Toshiba. I would definitely recommend this player. This player has exceeded my expectations.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Good Memory. Good Price.......2007-09-25

I have a Sony F828. I was pleasantly surprised to see the speed at which this card saves photos/video. It does have the adapter included. I can now use the higher quality mode for videos. Excellent buy.

4 out of 5 stars 2 GB Memory.......2007-09-05

This memory is as I expected it to be, great. I have owned other memory sticks from Scandisk and they have all been flawless. It works well in my Sony Digital Camera.

5 out of 5 stars Did its job very well...until it failed - 2 stars (updated)........2007-08-12

Speed wass faster than a standard Pro Duo in my camera. Not much else to say except it does what is is supposed to do until it failed. Can not write or read data. All data on the card was lost including pictures taken at the air & water show. I now give it 2 stars.
