Most Critical Review

Not for Vista

Rosewill RC-200 PCI IDE (ATA) Silicon Image RAID (0/1/0+1/JBOD) Host Controller Card
Rosewill RC-200 PCI IDE (ATA) Silicon Image RAID (0/1/0+1/JBOD) Host Controller Card

Pros: Installed easily during Vista install using included floppy disk.

Cons: Caused errors on my hard drives. It seems to me that the driver was causing Windows Vista to have write errors.

Overall Review: Newegg was great. Shipping was almost like next-day-air, and my refund was handled quickly. Thanks again Newegg.

Worked great for me!

Internal iPhone 4 Battery OEM New Replacement 3.7V Grade A High Quality USA
Internal iPhone 4 Battery OEM New Replacement 3.7V Grade A High Quality USA

Pros: This battery was exactly as I expected. It made my iPhone 4 work like new again - no more shutting down at 50% battery.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Shipped naked in a padded envelope that was too big for it. IMHO, should have been shipped in a box or some container more substantial than a padded envelope. But nonetheless, it arrived in my mailbox in perfect shape.

Spinpoint F3 1TB in RAID 1

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Have two in RAID1 (ICH9R). No problems in the four months that I have been using them. I usually leave my PC running (not asleep) 24 hours per day as an "Air Video" server for my iPhones.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I hope they last as long as my 60GB Maxtor ATA-133 drives did (2001 - Current). I only stopped using them because I filled them up with pictures and music and bought my new Samsungs.

It works

Transcend 4GB microSDHC Flash Card with MS pro duo adapter Model TS4GUSDHC6-MS
Transcend 4GB microSDHC Flash Card with MS pro duo adapter Model TS4GUSDHC6-MS

Pros: It's really small. It works. Holds around 4GB of stuff. Transfers fast. It works in "Sony Memory Stick" devices with the included adapter. The MS adapter works with my other MicroSD cards. WooHoo! No more having to buy expensive MS media.

Cons: It's really small. I hear the MS adapter doesn't work in anything that has MagicGate (like camcorders). I don't have a Sony camcorder or anything else that has MagicGate, so no first-hand info from me on that.

Overall Review: I can't believe Sony has not squashed this kind of thing. Oh well, better for us.

Fun but too short

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for Nintendo Wii
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for Nintendo Wii

Pros: Great gameplay. AWESOME storyline. Swinging the Wiimote is lots of fun. Having a duel mode makes the game worth keeping. If I could go back in time to before I bought this game knowing what I know now, I would buy it again.

Cons: Graphics are kinda dumpy, but that's the Wii's fault. No advanced physics effects like we saw in previews - again not the game's fault - it's a limitation in the Wii. Duel mode is not on the internet, it's only good if someone else is around to play - docking half-an-egg. Game is really short. They could have fleshed it out a little more (think Jedi Academy) - this is worth half-an-egg.

Overall Review: I'd like this game to come out for the PC later - I would love to play it with full graphics and physics. Maybe then someone will mod the PC version to work with the Wiimote.
