Customer Review: What is the point of dynasty mode?
To quote the game description “Off the ice, act as the General Manager in an enhanced Dynasty Mode. Do whatever it takes to meet an owner’s expectations by properly managing rosters and using your creativity to fit player salaries under the new cap.” and “29 AHL teams - the top developmental league for the NHL - are exclusively featured and fully playable. Develop your talent with their minor affiliate until you are ready to call them up for the show. Be the GM and manage your team from the ground up while staying under the salary cap.” What they are trying to do is make something boring sound exciting, and you get NO reward for clearing this joke of a mode. Are you paying attention EA? Can you please make it sound boring rather than exciting as i severe problems managing a team due to my asbergers? Apart from that, it is a great game and i would recommend it to any ice hockey fan. Go Flyers and Penguins!
Customer Review: Face Off
Got this game yesterday and looks very impressive. The practice sessions are very good and a bit tricky to start with.
All the usual NHL teams in it as well as AHL and international teams. Has a good choice of modes of play from setting up your own tournament to Dynasty Mode.
Can also create your player to look like yourself and play as a goalie in goalie mode which haven’t done yet although sounds interesting.
Usual commentary which is good and makes you feel like you are actually watching a game or are there!!! The music is good also and has all the usual sights and sounds from a hockey match.
This version feels more realistic than 07 version and I have to say overall I am impressed. If you like your ice hockey buy it you will not be disappointed.

Customer Review: PS3
I mainly use my PS3 for bluray. I bought the 80gb so that I would have backwards compatible. I have a ps2 and wanted to be able to use those games with my ps3‘>ps3. However I have only played a couple of games on it, but I use it everyday for movies. It does a nice job upscaling regular dvds for my tv. I have updated the firmware through the wireless internet and it is so easy. I really love this system. The picture is so amazing that you get off this system. I also love the wireless controller that they put with this, I can now sit on my couch and play and not have to worry about the wires. Sony definetly has a winner with this one.
Customer Review: The New Era…
Well for starters I just wanted to say I honestly held my cards on my new system venture for quite some time. Lots of people in my ear about the 360 but my gut was still in the corner of Sony because the PS 1 and 2 held down the market solid for quite a long time. I received my PS3 a few days ago, and I couldn’t be more happy. The graphics on games like Uncharted and Call of Duty 4 are simply amazing. Even the Grand Turismo Concept Demo is crystal clear. Now I’m not knocking any other system, because the folks at Microsoft and Nintendo (who are the comback kings of this great debate) deserve a nod. I’m just going with what I want as a gamer who is almost 30. A great system with solid games (FF, Metal Gear, GTA, GOW and GT soon to come) that also doubles as a blu ray player and overall media center. Plus who cares if the other guy has more games (which would be shameful if he didn’t considering he came out first). My true gamers know it’s not about that at all, right. Oh one last thing. The online play for Call of Duty 4 much better than the online play on Halo…and it’s free too holla!

Nintendo DS Lite Super Mario Bros. Game Case Gashapon 
HDMI Cable V1.3 (PS3) Customer Review: No 1080P support!
Works great at all resolutions up to and including 1080i. Unfortunately does not work at all at 1080p (either with a ps3‘>ps3 or an upscaling panasonic dvd recorder - these both work fine with the free hdmi lead supplied with the virgin V+ box!).
Customer Review: If you think this works for your PS3 - think again!
If you have followed the instructions about turning on your PS3 and holding down the power button for the second beep then followed the on screen instructions and the picture appears - that’s ok then? No its not, you are not seeing you pS3 in its best light with this cable it will set itself to a lower resolution and show a picture, but the quality is not there in the picture. Full HD is a resolution of 1920×1080 if your TV has this capability either at 1080i (lower quality) or 1080P (highest quality) this cable is not going to give you that resolution. It will allow the PS3 to set itself to 576p or maybe 760P both are lower quality at 576P you only get 720×576 and at 720P you only get 1280×720. You can check this by looking in the display menu of your PS3 in the system branch. The information will be in the form of 576P or 720P or 1080i or 1080P. Only if your TV has 1080 I or P otherwise this cable will do just fine. I replaced this cable (nearly took the TV back) with a much higher quality version and it works just fine in 1080P with Samsung Full HD TVs. It looks brilliant and what an excellent piece of kit the PS3 is.
