Most Favorable Review

Treyarch does it again!

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Xbox 360
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Xbox 360

Pros: Best single player FPS campaigns in the COD series, this and the first CODBO. Only halfway through and loving it. The multiplayer is a mixed bag and is FAR too dependent on the Internet connection and can be "cheap" because of lag. I still like it, but I definitely preferred MW3 multiplayer. Treyarch has messed around with sensitivity and other features for better or for worse, I still play and love it...its Call of Duty...if you like that, you will like/love this.

Cons: Sensitivity changes aren't necessarily my favorite. I don't like the connection issues I have encountered.

Overall Review: Newegg.com shipping sucked on this one, didn't get it until Thursday. I assume that is because it is a popular product, but the $12 I saved with the promo code wasn't worth the pre-order hassle when I could have picked it up from Toys R Us release day for the same price after taxes.

Most Critical Review

Absolutely terrible product

Xbox Wired Controller - Xbox One/Xbox One S/Windows 10 (Green)
Xbox Wired Controller - Xbox One/Xbox One S/Windows 10 (Green)

Pros: it's cheap

Cons: It feels incredibly cheap to the point where I don't even want to touch it so it just sits on my shelf in case I am desperate enough to use it one day.

Overall Review: It doesn't work with retropie at all.

Good Things Come In Small Packages

ASRock H97M-ITX/ac LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
ASRock H97M-ITX/ac LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Everything was easy to install. They packed a lot of stuff on a little board. What I like about the ITX is it has everything I need for the most part and none of the stuff I don't. I'm currently using this board for my G3258, I easily updated to the 1.40 Bios that came out on 9/10/14. I was able to drop in my processor and simply overclock to 4.2 ghz using the Bios Non-Z overclock feature which is AWESOME. Easiest overclock ever. The processor is running cool at 78C under full load overclocked on stock cooler. Yes, 78c is high, but for OC'd on a cheap processor in a Cooler Master Elite ITX case, I am a happy camper.

Cons: The wi-fi was kind of a pain to attach. You will want pliers to hold while you tighten it and be carefule while attaching the wi-fi antennas to the mobo as you don't want to break anything.

Overall Review: I have been an MSI guy for a while, but I'm totally jumping on the ASRock team. This product is just great and it is a product for gamers by gamers. My first Intel build and it went smoothly. Out of 4 builds in my life, this is the first time I ever booted up and had zero issues

Compared to my Korean Crossover

Acer K272HULbmiidp Black 27" WQHD 6ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor IPS DCR 100,000,000:1(1,000:1) Built-in Speakers

Pros: First thing that impressed me was the scaler for 1080p...PS3 at 1080p looked fantastic. It was still crisp and the colors were fairly accurate. AMVA panels are pretty good compared to IPS. Also, multiple inputs, didn't notice any lag or ghosting, but I'm not as picky as most. The monitor also has a wide array of OSD settings for picture adjustment. Overall it is a much better choice over Korean monitors.

Cons: LIGHTBLEED...its always there...but it was only really noticeable at 100% backlight. After you calibrate and dial some stuff down, I believe it won't be an issue. Also, can't seem to get 2560x1440 via HDMI, I will look into it, but I believe that you need HDMI 2.0 in order to get higher resolutions, or maybe Acer limits this like Dell does. Either way, Displayport and DVI are better and sharper IMO. HDMI is generally oversaturated.

Overall Review: I have a 27 inch QHD270 Crossover IPS monitor, and though I like the pic and semi-glossy coating on my crossover more, the scaler, OSD settings and adjustments, connectivity and 3 year warranty make this ACER a MUCH better deal imo.

This is an amazing monitor

Dell 21.5" 60 Hz IPS LCD Monitor, IPS Panel 7ms (GTG) 1920 x 1080 D-Sub, HDMI S2240L
Dell 21.5" 60 Hz IPS LCD Monitor, IPS Panel 7ms (GTG) 1920 x 1080 D-Sub, HDMI S2240L

Pros: - contrast ratio is better than my 3D LG TV LM6400!!! - because of this the colors pop -Xbox 360 looks amazing on this, blows my old monitor away - comes green tinted out of the box, you NEED to dial down the green in the custom RGB controls, 92 is a good number, after that, the monitor SHINES - the picture is incredibly sharp and makes poor video quality video/games look bad...this could be a pro or con -the glossy front is perfect, no more reflective than any other glossy screen I owned, just a clearer reflection ;-) - NO LIGHT BLEED!!!

Cons: I REALLY wish I could have got this in 27 inches...the S2740L uses and IPS and I would rather just use my 47 inch IPS HDTV...I wanted MVA because it offers better blacks and something I can't get with a modern TV for the most part.

Overall Review: I used to have an HP2511x (highly rated TN panel) but want to give it to my dad so he can enjoy his computer more. This monitor blows away the HP 2511x in every sense after calibrated. This is the closest you can get to a CRT monitor feel from a widescreen LCD monitor...I HIGHLY recommend it. Didn't buy from newegg because they were "out of stock" while they had a sale on, and then today, the day after when the sale is over, all of a sudden they have stock...would have bought new, but ended up with a used one for $150...which I am okay with.

Persona 4 and Newegg Shipping

Persona 4 Golden PS Vita Games
Persona 4 Golden PS Vita Games

Pros: Persona 4 is great, played it on PS2 and loved it, and it is a quintessential JRPG. The Vita version brings more to the table, enhanced graphics, more stories and quests, they allow you to walk around the town at night now, and many other easter eggs and such that weren't in the original release. I can't wait to play it!

Cons: That's right, becuase I don't have it yet, Newegg UPS 3 days guarantee shipping is a LIE. Pre-ordered months ago, got a UPS notification on release date of 11/20, okay...item didn't ship until 11/25...What the eff...its now 11/29 and I am supposed to get it today...9 days after release. I am done with newegg pre-orders. They are 1 for 3 now, batting 33%..for shame newegg...I used to love you guys, now you aren't as good as say A-mah-zon.

Ordered a sweater, then got shipment notice, then got an email saying my sweater was returned

I didn't authorize this, I bought the item when it was in stock, I was not asked to return the sweater, it was decided for me. Now I have to find another Christmas gift for my friend. This is a terrible seller and I would avoid at all costs.
