Most Favorable Review

Got what I paid for, and fast

Microsoft JR9-00011 Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows
Microsoft JR9-00011 Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows

Pros: - One of the more comfortable controllers out there - Good response time, no "lag" to the input - Came with a pair of AA batteries - Receiver takes up little to no space - Installed upon connecting it to my computer, didn't even need the disk. - Shipped wicked fast, ordered on 12/26 and got it 12/28!

Cons: - It doesn't come with a rechargeable battery pack (does the xbox controller even have those?) - Doesn't cook me breakfast in bed

Overall Review: Got it on special for 48.88 and free shipping, supposed to be 3 - 5 day but arrived in two! Very fast shipping from Newegg as usual. Controller came in an unscathed package (the microsoft factory packaging, not the cardboard box newegg ships things in) and it's like I bought it straight from the store.

Most Critical Review

Not as advertised

AGPtek 7" -inch 8GB MID Capacitive TouchScreen Tablet - A9 1.2GHz 512MB DDR3 G-Sensor Gravity w/ USB 2.0 All In 1 Card Reader
AGPtek 7" -inch 8GB MID Capacitive TouchScreen Tablet - A9 1.2GHz 512MB DDR3 G-Sensor Gravity w/ USB 2.0 All In 1 Card Reader

Pros: - Worked out of the box - pre-charged - smooth operations - decent boot speed - easy to root (once I found the root burner v 0.2 file) - fast, plays emulation on GBA flawlessly, more testing to see how far I can push it later

Cons: - IS NOT A10, it is an A9, the device I received is the WM8850-mid, which is actually the A9 chipset, not the A10 as advertised here. I think newegg should fix that product title.

Overall Review: Everything else works on it, and even though the device's specs aren't what they advertised here, it's still a powerful little tablet for the cheap $80 price tag! No flaws in the OS as many have reported, nor were there any other issues I could find, it even came with a mini-usb to full usb adapter! Knocking off 2 eggs because of false advertisement, although I'm not going to RMA it just because it works so well for what it actually is.

Got what I paid for!

G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBSR
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBSR

Pros: - Attractive heat sink - Amazing price - Bought it on a black November sale + a discount code brought it down to a measly $30, what a steal! - RAM is very fast for such a low cost

Cons: - Had to manually set it to 2133MHz via my bios, initially recognized as 1600MHz. Not hard as I have a UEFI bios board, so with one click I'm running full speed, so this is excruciatingly negligible

Overall Review: I purchased this to upgrade from some GEIL value ram, and for $30 I have to say it was well worth the investment.

Great mouse, too light.

A4Tech D-600X Black 4 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Mouse
A4Tech D-600X Black 4 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Mouse

Pros: - Very responsive buttons - Nice blue LED to light up the scroll wheel - Scroll wheel feels great, and very responsive - Smooth mouse movements - Very comfortable regardless of size

Cons: - Way, way to light, feels like I'm going to lift it off the mouse pad any time I move it. - Smaller than expected; 4 1/4 inch long and 2 3/4 inch wide. Smaller by an inch over all compared to my old mouse, but as stated it is still very comfortable to the hold.

Overall Review: Overall I am enjoying the mouse, would have given 5 eggs if it were just a bit bigger and heavier. I may end up modding it with weights to help with that issue.

PS3 upgrade

WD Scorpio Blue WDBABC5000ANC-NRSN 500GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Retail kit
WD Scorpio Blue WDBABC5000ANC-NRSN 500GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Retail kit

Pros: - Price to space ratio is fantastic - Actually increased the loads slightly (not a whole lot) for the PS3, presumably from it being a higher rated sata and a newer HDD all around.

Cons: - Doesn't cook me dinner? I got more than what I paid for.

Overall Review: I purchased this to upgrade my brothers PS3 hard drive as he ran out of space and was complaining that he had to keep erasing things to put on new game data. I purchased this, backed up his save games, swapped hard drives, installed the system software from USB to the new hard drive and it formatted in about 4 minutes and was ready to go! Recopying the saved games and game data took around 5 - 7 minutes (he has a lot of games) and now he even says that his games load a little faster than before.
