A Great Buy
Pros: Very nice size and color, a strong setting. Fast delivery. They look Great.
Cons: The clasp appears to be plastic but holds well so we will see how well it holds up
Overall Review: Overall we are very pleased. My wife has received several comments from her coworkers who claim she is spoiled so I would say this was a very good purchase. As always Newegg is da Bomb (A figure of speech for you Homeland Security folks)
Caution, Buyer Beware!
Pros: The price maybe? I really can't say because I have not been able to play it.
Cons: Crashes to desktop every time I click play on the main menu. I've tried all the fixes I could find on the web and cannot get it to play. Updated drivers, turned off anti virus and still it won't play. It seams to be a common problem with this and some of the other Rockstar games.
Overall Review: It looks like a fun game and I would really like to play it. So do your homework and a simple search on the web before buying. Good Luck
My Turn In the Barrel, DOA
Pros: MSI Tech support was helpful and very friendly, Newegg customer service was great as always. Oh, and the board looks kick,,, well, looks great when it did post the one time.
Cons: DOA. You read the reports and see the doa's, it's just never happened to me before.
Overall Review: Am in the process of upgrading a 9yr old computer and after installing the new motherboard, cpu, ram, video card, and H60 cpu cooler (that doesn't fit my old cpu) only to have it post one time and die was very disappointing but sometimes a bad one gets thru. It doesn't do any good to get mad about it, just work the problem. Really looking forward to reviewing everything when I get it up and running. And a big Thank you to MSI's Barnaby in tech support and Nick at newegg's customer service
Update for LA Noire
Pros: Fun game if you can get it to run. Looks great in DX11. The action is a little slower, more thinking than shooting.
Cons: Took a long time to get it to run. The driving parts can be a little tricky (for me anyway, 60 plus yrs old) but you can always let your partner drive.
Overall Review: I followed all the fixes recommended by Rockstar and still had problems. It only started working after I had hi-speed internet installed. Would not run with dial up(I know but it was all I could afford) and I did not have to use any illegal cracks. Overall a very fun game for me, I am older and maybe that is why I enjoy it, the action is not as fast as as most of the other games out there.
A Great Gift for that Special Someone
Pros: My wife loves it. The color and size are is just right to match the topaz ear rings I bought her earlier. She has received many complements from her coworkers. Service and shipping is as always, fast and easy.
Cons: None I can think of.
Overall Review: Very nice and well worth the price. As always, Newegg rocks
Read Before You Buy
Pros: It looks good?
Cons: It just won't play dvd's, new or rerecorded. I really wished it did. It plays some but not others, it's really frustrating, even brand new factory dvd's it will hang up or just not play them. I ignored the other reviews here and am writing this so others may not make my mistake. They are right, avoid this player.
Overall Review: I have a Samsung Blu-Ray play that plays everything I put in it and it works great. I've had 3 other dvd players of various brands and never had this problem, some may not play certain brands of dvd-r or +r media but this one is by far the worst product I have ever own. My only hope is that Samsung will replace it without too much expense. As always, Newegg rocks!
