Most Favorable Review

Solid purchase

Polk Audio Monitor70 Series II Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black) Single
Polk Audio Monitor70 Series II Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black) Single

Pros: Great full sound.

Cons: Needs a lot of power. Bi-amping is almost a must to get the max amount of sound out of these

Overall Review: First receiver didn't support bi-amping and these were ok. Replaced it after about a year with one that does and immediately noticed a huge difference in the quality of sound.

Most Critical Review

Short and sweet

Star Wars Force Unleashed II Collector Edition Xbox 360 Game
Star Wars Force Unleashed II Collector Edition Xbox 360 Game

Pros: Graphics are pretty good. While the game is extremely short (should be an XBL expansion), its still really fun.

Cons: Possibly the shortest game ever made. Little to no replay value. Rent this and you'll save some money, unless you just like collecting Star Wars items

There are better options for the price

Harman/Kardon AVR2650 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver
Harman/Kardon AVR2650 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver

Pros: The design, number of inputs seems to be sufficient

Cons: Sound seems to go out sometimes when I pause or fast forward my DVR, no Bluetooth, unimpressive performance, cannot bi-amp speakers, no front inputs

Overall Review: I can't believe the original MSRP was $800. I bought this because I had heard that the HDMI ports on the Onkyo receivers were sometimes faulty. I wish I had taken a risk. When the Dolby is on auto mode, the sound goes silent when it switches during commercial breaks. I don't really care about commercials, but its annoying. Also, if I change channels and change it back, sometimes the volume is lower even though I haven't turned the volume down. I have been very unimpressed with this thing

Works as advertised

NETGEAR WNCE4004-100NAS N900 Video and Gaming 4-Port Wi-Fi Adapter
NETGEAR WNCE4004-100NAS N900 Video and Gaming 4-Port Wi-Fi Adapter

Pros: Old Xbox 360 doesnt have wifi, nor does my receiver, so this little gadget saves me from having wires going all over my house

Cons: I haven't done any gaming marathons with it yet, so I will update if I have any issues down the road.

Overall Review: Got it on a shell shocker sale... definitely worth it!

Wish I knew what Dual Link meant

Rosewill RCW-902 - 10-Foot DVI-I (24 + 5-Pin) Male to DVI-I (24 + 5) Male Digital Dual-Link Cable with Ferrites Cores
Rosewill RCW-902 - 10-Foot DVI-I (24 + 5-Pin) Male to DVI-I (24 + 5) Male Digital Dual-Link Cable with Ferrites Cores

Pros: Its a heavy gauge cable. Well made

Cons: I don't have any monitors that support dual link connectors so I've never been able to use this cable.

Overall Review: Do research before buying stuff

Solid purchase

ASUS RT-N65U Dual-Band Wireless-N750 Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, 2 USB 3.0 SharePort

Pros: Fast. Doesn't drop like my high end D-Link router did. Solid range.

Cons: A little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: I'd highly recommend this router
