Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Green SATA Intellipower 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD10EADS

This was my first hard drive purchase. Overall, I am very pleased.

Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Green SATA Intellipower 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD10EADS

Even though others reported that the packaging problems were being fixed, I was still worried I'd get a box of bolts. I was happy to receive the drive in a box that was about twice as big as the drive itself, with styrofoam holders made specifically for shipping hard drives. The drive was in an antistatic bag as well.

THE PROBLEM I had with the shipping came from the fact that I ordered 4 other electronic items as well, and the packager thought it would be perfectly ok to just rest them all on top of each other and throw a few semi-inflated air bubbles on top. Everything was shifting around by the time I got it. This wasn't so much a problem for the other stuff, since it was all in its OEM packaging. But I was worried about the drive. So far I haven't noticed anything wrong, but I did voice my concern to Amazon.

INSTALLATION was a breeze (make sure you log into your bios setup and turn on the hard drive slot), and with WD's free copy of True Image, I had my old drive completely cloned with just a few clicks.By Jorge (Arizona, USA)

Mongoose Spin BMX Freestyle Bike (20-Inch Wheels) Very nice bike...great price!!!!!

Mongoose Spin BMX Freestyle Bike (20-Inch Wheels)

They do not give the actual frame size of the bike which turns out to be smaller then it looks in the picture. Its height is lower than you would think which makes your knees on the paddles come up to your chest unless your have your seat up real high which then you have trouble touching the ground.

Also the front wheel hub on the one I received was really loose and made the tire really wobbly and it could not be fixed without taking it totally a part which wasn't easy. By J.M.V

Classic BMX styling combined with a host of quality safety features make this a great bike for track and street riders. Equipped with a handcrafted Hi-Ten Boy's Team series frame and a handcrafted Hi-Ten jumping fork, the Mongoose Spin BMX bike is strong enough for off-road cycling, dirt jumping, and trick riding. The bike's front and rear U-brakes, meanwhile, offer all the braking power needed for safe, dependable stopping. Other details include front and rear axle pegs, a four-piece "knee-saver" handlebar, 20-by-2.125-inch black Jumper K-Rad tires, a large Mongoose Jumping saddle with stitches, alloy 48-hole hubs, a three-piece tubular crank set, and an A-head machined stem. The Mongoose Spin carries a lifetime warranty on the frame and fork.

Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6" Display, U.S. Wireless, Latest Generation)
Now $259.00 !!!!!

I absolutely love my Kindle!! Easy to use, light and comfortable to hold, very easy to navigate, even for someone like me who did not grow up using computer technology! Books download in less than 15 seconds. I love the experimental items, especially being able to download MP3 music. My only minor complaint is the way pages are numbered. I wish there was some way to see the page number as it relates to the actual book, even if it had to show you were on the same page for several of the "pages" you turn on screen. I like to know, especially toward the end of a book, how many pages I have left to read, in case I want to finish all at one sitting. But this is a very minor concern, and the good points far outweigh it. I also purchased a platform jacket that allows me to prop the Kindle up so I can read while eating my lunch. Thanks Amazon-- all in all an absolutely great product! By P. Shafer (Mishawaka, IN USA)

Xbox 360 Console

Xbox 360, shown with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system

I just recieved my Elite today, I had to pick one up due to the Amazon promotion (12 + 1 month xbox live free too bad the promotion is gone now.) So my Elite have the jasper mobo which is great due to it being more quieter than my launch 360 (which i still have and working). I am no fanboy so this is a honest review. I have all three console (Wii, PS3, 360). I love all the PS3 exclusive (LBP, Infamous, MGS4, etc..) and 360 (Gears 2, Halo, Fable, etc..) and Wii (Mario Galaxy, LoZ:Twilight Princess, Animal Crossing etc...) One thing i notice different between These (fall 2009) and the other xbox 360 (Pro, Arcade, GOTY Elite, RE5 Elite) is that the power brick is WAYYY Smaller than before. I compared it with my RE5 Elite and my RE5 Elite have a bigger power brick even tho its a jasper. I read some forums and some people said that these fall 2009 are not always jasper, so it might be a risk ordering it from amazon. But i did, and got a jasper, other people have also receive jasper.



So both ps3 and the 360 elite cost $299. Both are great console to own. It all comes down to your own opinion on which to choose from. BOTH DO NOT come HD ready meaning you will have to buy your own HDMI cables or Component Cable But HDMI cables are cheap you can just buy it here at amazon. PS3: Blu Ray player, WiFi, FREE PSN membership, Sony Exclusive games (God of war 3, Uncharted, GT5 etc...) 360: LIVE membership $50 a year (sometimes cheaper if you can get the LIVE cards on sale), 360 exclusive games (Alan Wake, Halo ODST, Fable 2, Gears 2 etc...)
