Most Favorable Review

Great

Nippon Labs HDMI-HS-15 15 ft. HDMI 2.0 Male to Male High Speed Cable with Ethernet
Nippon Labs HDMI-HS-15 15 ft. HDMI 2.0 Male to Male High Speed Cable with Ethernet

Pros: Not a whole lot to say. It works great. Flexible. Long enough for the price.

Cons: Nothing.

Overall Review: I hate how people will rate things like cables and the like. They will give 4 star even though they had nothing wrong with it. They justify it by saying "Well, it's just a cable" or something basic like that. End of it all, GIVE IT A 5 STAR IF IT HAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND MET OR EXCEEDED YOUR EXPECTATIONS! Otherwise, it can be misleading when too many people rate it only 4/5 and others will think there "has to be something wrong with it for it not to have 5/5".

Faulty

300Mbps 802.11g PCI Wireless LAN Card / Adapter with Detachable Antenna For Most Desktop PC
300Mbps 802.11g PCI Wireless LAN Card / Adapter with Detachable Antenna For Most Desktop PC

Pros: Internal and inexpensive. RMA went smoothly.

Cons: Would not pick up any networks.

Overall Review: Bought this for a low-end Windows 7 build for my dad. Everything went fine until I tried finding my network. No matter what I tried, nothing could be found. I even reset my settings on the router, even left it as disabled. I was able to connect two times, but shortly lost connection and the network disappeared. This has long been resolved. RMA went relatively smoothly. Support worked with me briefly then wanted me to send it in. Got my money back, and I'm happy.

Meh

Call of Duty: Ghosts Hardened Edition Xbox 360
Call of Duty: Ghosts Hardened Edition Xbox 360

Pros: Extinction is quite interesting. Fresh game mode. They kept survival from MW3. Multiplayer has interesting new additions.

Cons: Other thoughts...

Overall Review: My rating does not reflect anything on Newegg's part. They did their job. I just am really disappointed after spending $120. Obviously $60 was for the DLC but still... I've played more Black Ops 2 since I bought this game. "If you liked Black Ops 2, you'll like Ghosts" is NOT valid reasoning here (as I loved BO2). Anyway, campaign was... ok. Interesting at first, then somewhat dropped close to the end. The ending of the game simply does not work, and makes no sense (purposely avoiding spoilers). Multiplayer just feels like the same Infinity Ward garbage. I'd much rather play MW3 than Ghosts (that's pretty bad). Sniping is over-powered, once again (despite the claim that quick scoping is out). You seem to die easier in general. The randomness and chaotic level is too high. Spawning is quite bad too. Before dropping any money on this game (especially these special editions), just play it first. Borrow it from a friend, rent it from a store. Perhaps things will improve as they update they game (one can hope). But overall, I'm just not liking the core aspects and flow of the game.

Solid

ENCORE ENUWI-G2 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
ENCORE ENUWI-G2 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Solid wi-fi adapter.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Got this for free during a special. All I had to do was paying $3 shipping. It is only wireless G, but rarely do I run into an ISP with over 50 Mb/s. As much as these companies can market the latest wireless standard as being "a drastic improvement" or "better gaming", it's mostly garbage. You're more than likely not going to use the 5 GHz band (less range; your device most like doesn't support 5 GHz). And unless your Internet Connection is around 50 Mb/s, you won't need more than wireless G. If you're doing a lot of in-house file transfers, that's different (but then again, I'd just go with wired).

Great!

WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX

Pros: Awesome for what it delivers.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Getting this drive for $65 was a great deal. A good portion of this has been devoted for Steam (around 30 to 40%). Also good to note, this is not my system drive. I can't comment on boot times/how the OS performs. Load times for games are great. Perfectly happy with it.

1 DoA, but resolved

Western Digital Blue WD2500AAKX 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Blue WD2500AAKX 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Good price, speed, space.

Cons: First DoA.

Overall Review: Bought this for my dad's PC as his old WD80 was clicking and freezing up. The first one wouldn't allow POST to finish. In another XP computer, similar results. If I connected it after POST, XP would crash (blue screen). Testing again in my Windows 8 PC, it would show up as a unknown device. Second HDD works perfectly fine. Very happy with it. The only thing to point out is NewEgg did not make it known that shipping was payed. I had to email them before they sent me a shipping label.
