Pros: Very nice price, very nice preformance, very nice build quality. I used this device to give my microPC a quick readyboost bump and it worked out great. Transfer speeds are plenty. This reader will eat SDHC quite willingly. The included cover cap fits quite snugly and the loop hole looks solid enough to trust.

Cons: Gets a little hot. Not disturbingly hot, but on some machines it could cause an issue by overheating nearby components.

Other Thoughts: I love this reader. Its space and weight efficient and does what its supposed to do.

Bottomline: Do something usefull with the 2gb microSD cards you have floating around in your drawer! This is a perfect readyboost tool for slow computers.

Pros: The price on this device is unreal. I cant believe it works so well for what it cost me. It fits snugly and barely sticks out.

Cons: The included disk contains an old version of blue soleil. It works but it has issues. I had to aquire an updated version somewhere else before it would work properly. Its light is a bit bright too, but I sprayed the plastic black, so now its just a dull glow.

Other Thoughts: If you need bluetooth somewhere, stick in one of these if youre prepared to hunt down the software needed first.

Bottomline: Good deal dispite its flaws!

Pros: It feels tonka tough, im confident you could leave it out on the road all day and it would still work. Unlike most, the actual chain is well built too. It feels heavy and very high quality, so it made a really nice gift. Its fast enough for most purposes, capacity is as advertised.

Cons: 2gb is considered small nowadays I suppose?

Other Thoughts: Its solid metal, no nickel coating or something like that. It allowed me to engrave it quite beautifully.

Bottomline: If you need a nice place to store documents and be absolutely sure you dont lose em by it getting caught or crushed somewhere, this tank of a drive is the right choice for you.

Pros: It comes in a very atractive package, and everything is included. On my windows 7 installation, this device was driverless. It paired up and just worked, no nonsence.

Cons: The included headsets are a bit cheap and low volume, but I was already expecting that.
The wallsocket charger it comes with is a US prong one, and no prong adapter is included. Some might find this a problem, but the USB cable works fine for most.

Other Thoughts: It registers with 2 services, microphone headset and high def audio device. Make sure you select the right one, or youll end up with phone quality audio on your music because its using one channel for its microphone!

Bottomline: It charged in 2 hours and lasted me all day listening to music on my PC. What more do you need? ;)

Pros: Its one solid shielded cable for most of its length, which makes it less suceptible to magnetic disturbance then the leading popular cable on DX. Plugs fit snug, everything feels nice and solidly built. It even comes in a nice cardboard package for those who wish to resell them.

Cons: None at all. Im loving this cable.

Other Thoughts: The other cable I tried from DX, which I thought was best because it had more reviews, broke within a month, it somehow managed to loosen the contacts because I had to jiggle it to make it work right. This cable feels much more solid, so dont just follow the herd, its not always the best choice. ;)

Bottomline: Need one, buy one. Thats as simple as it gets.

Pros: Its prety fast by my standards, it can read at 15.5mb per second, and write at 30mb per second. It also seems to be very compatible, because it worked on both my laptops and my desktop cardreaders. It conforms to the SD standard, and its lock toggle works like it should aswell.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Other Thoughts: These little cards are great for jacking up the storage space on your devices. The speed also lends itself quite formidably for windows readyboost.

Bottomline: Dont bother with other cards on deal extreme. This is the cheapest 16gb one, and its working well in every aspect.

Pros: This card is quick to install, It already worked even before the OS started, so no drivers needed. Its fast and all ports can be used simultaniously. It recognised all my devices (keyboard, flashdrive, USB-HDD, mouse, printer) without delay. Transfer rate seems as fast as my onboard USB.

Cons: The box was somewhat squished, but the card was undamaged. Thats all I can think of. ;)

Other Thoughts: It works without a hitch, just plug it in and thats it.

Bottomline: If you need some extra ports, this card is perfect for you.

Pros: Its sturdy, plugs feel nice and thick, contacts are all goldplated, the nylon mantle protects it from even the most brutal of sharp edges, and it works perfectly with my 1.3 HDMI equipment. It even came in a pretty package with protective caps covering both plugs.

Cons: none at all.

Other Thoughts: This is a fantastic cable for hooking up an X360/ps3/DVDplayer/whathaveyou. A cable like this at any given local european shop would cost you 5 times asmuch easily. Id have paid 20 bucks for this and still be pleased.

Bottomline: DX delivers again. Great product, low price.

Pros: It works quite well, the locking mechanism works just like my other two retractable cables. Its an ordinary USB to mini USB 2.0 cable that worked on both my gamepad and my canon camera, so for this price im a very satisfied customer.

Cons: The rollup mechanism is slightly bigger and its pull mechanism is slightly grittier then what im used to, but it does its job equally well regardless of that.
Mine did not come with the packaging shown on the picture, infact it didnt have any packaging at all, but for this price, really who cares.
Its plenty short, just about an arms length, so it might not be perfect for everything. Works fine on my notebook though.

Other Thoughts: This is a simple USB>Mini USB 2.0 cable, not really a fancy data sync cable or whatever DX is calling it. ;) If you need to get rid of a messy cableclutter, this would be a good start.

Bottomline: Need a USB cable that slips in your bag without knotting? This is the one for you.

Pros: Easy to use, charger is automatic. Has a VERY good lux rating. My previous cameras had issues picking up the light from my IR flashlight. This one however make everything perfectly visible in IR light.
The neatly tucked away battery makes this camera easy to mount. The included mount is very durable and easy to install too.

Cons: The sound part isnt coming through very clearly for me atleast. The parts that are supposed to be silent, are buzzy. It does let sound through whenever it picks it up though.

Other Thoughts: Its a nice cam for survailance if you dont need sound.

Bottomline: Cheap and neat. Great for temporary surveilance purposes.

Pros: - Comfortable, grips nicely and has rubber buttons.
- Sets up relatively easy considering the one word LCD screen used to browse the menus.
- Picks up learning quite well, and offers several nice ways to get it programmed to your equipment.
- ENGLISH manual!

Cons: - Takes 3 batteries, where most batteries are packed per 2 or 4.
- Not ALL buttons are programmable.

Other Thoughts: Offers a great deal of flexability, and for me personally it has eliminated 4 origional remotes.
It was quite a big deal bigger then I origionally expected, but it does not cause issues.
The remote can select the appliance code in 3 ways. a: manually feeding it a code from the back of the manual. b: pageflipping through the codenumbers untill the appliance you want is turned off. c: Letting it automaticly move through the code where you press select when the appliance turns off.
It has quite a few nice hidden features aswell, like a button that cycles a list of your favorite TV channels, and ability to link volume of different devices to one button.

Bottomline: Its worth the money. If you have a buncha devices with a buncha remotes, this will clean up the clutter.

Pros: It works like it should, quick and easy.
Solidly build and looks decent.
Mine came with fresh batteries.

Cons: DX says it might be shipped in a purple frame, personally I think its leaning a bit much towards pink (blue and pink, boy and girl version, get it?) Im not too fond of the color so I wont be hanging it on my bag, but it ll do the job none the less. ;)

Other Thoughts: Be warned, If they say it MIGHT be purple (pink), you can prettymuch expect it to be.
Its one step short of a PDA. It will detect ALL networks, encrypted and open alike. Strength indicator is pretty accurate.

Bottomline: Cheap and handy little tool.
Get it if you dont mind to gamble on the color.

Pros: Fits my samsung Q310 ever so snugly.
(38 x 322 x 241mm - 1.5 x 12.7 x 9.5")
Zippers lock and theres no white text printed on mine.

Cons: The white tubing around the edges is broken in ceveral places, its a hard and brittle kind of plastic. Im considdering cutting it off with an exacto knife because it looks crappy. Theres some flimzy stitching in there too, but not too noticable.

Other Thoughts: Well it works and its not too expencive. Quality overall is a bit crap though.

Bottomline: I woulnd buy another one.
Save up for something else is what id say.

Pros: The cable can be adjusted to any length, wich is great when you dont need much length and hate the usuall cableclutter. Dont let the pictures fool you though, the retractor allows up to 70cm (2.3ft) of cable, simply by pulling it to the length you wish and letting go. Retracting is easy too, give it a slight tug and it rolls up automaticly.
Another great feature is the nobbly sides, wich allow for a comfortable grip.
Its reasonably accurate and, for me atleast, suitable for a little gaming.

Cons: Clamshell packaging came undone during shipping, but no damage at all, not really a product con actually.
Ive marked ease of use rating down a notch, but I already expected it to be. Its a smaller then should be mouse. You have to sacrifice one to get the other (space/weight reduction).

Other Thoughts: The blue rear fender turns red when the mouse is plugged in! Scrollwheel also lights up red.
Try not to hook your fingers in order to fill the palm of your hand with the "hump" of the mouse, or youll get a claw hand (nasty cramp), just rest your fingers ontop of the grooved buttons and youll be mousing around semicomfortable. ;)

Bottomline: Id definately reccomend this mouse if youre looking to complete your notebook/laptop essentials.
Its cheap and good, simple as that. ;)

Pros: Its got waterproof lights and tons of cool settings to use, plus its very cheap and mine got shipped fairly fast too. I bought two and decorated my portch with them. Looks very christmassy. ^_^

Cons: The box isnt waterproof, but thats easily solved with a balloon. As mentionned by others the powercord is a bit short, so when laying out the lights, start with the cord end or you might be in trouble by the time you reach it. :') Packaging is a bit cheesy, as the whole thing is cluttered into a ball and put in a plastic baggy. Good thing these arnt fragile glass bulbs. ;)

Other Thoughts: Its a nice addition to your home during the holiday seasons. Its cheap and durable, so why not grab a few.

Bottomline: Cheap, goodlooking, plenty of features.
Buy some!

Pros: This car is an absolute riot! Has beepy steering, its plenty fast for its scale, and the unsuspected "booster" shoulderbutton is a total hoot. The bodywork decals and paintjob are sublime, something thats very rare on cheap toys like this. Batterytime on the car is pretty good. Even the display box it comes in is a pleasure to store it in, as these small things can quicky get lost.
The lights are even one directional. Headlights go off when youre backing up, taillights come on. Really cute to drive around with in a dimmed light room.
Noice isnt as horrid as I was expecting it to be from these small cars eighter (think windup toy).
Also, it turned out to be a little bigger then expected, but to positive effect!

Cons: I would have designed it with a different antenna, kids easily break this telescope tin kind. Should have gone with a spring coil antenna.

Other Thoughts: I was truely amazed at the quality I got for the measily price I had to pay for it. Im thinking of collecting the whole set now. ;)

Bottomline: If you have a bored kid, or maybe youre an RC nut like me, and you have some spare money on paypal, grab one!

Pros: It feels tough, painted faces are reasonably well done, and it seems like fun for the kids. The queeker thats in every duck was a suprise though, pleasant for the kid, not for me.

Cons: Mine came in all squished and out of shape. I tried inflating it by blowing into the squeekerhole, but its still a little flattened. Bad shipping is the cause of that. The ducks came in a little fishnet.

Other Thoughts: Cheap fun for a little surprise. I woulnd buy it again however. The duckies where too maimed, luckily the child didnt mind tomuch.

Bottomline: Fun, but its cheap so expect it to be cheap.

Pros: They come safely wrapped, work well and the capacity feels about right. No flimzy paper can cells, they work great in toys. If you ever buy something at Deal Extreme that requires batteries, this is the way to fix it.

Cons: Again, cheap packaging but thats really not a con for me. Clamshells are adding to the total cost so not bothering with that gives you the cheapest way.

Other Thoughts: If you buy something from deal extreme to be delivered to someone else and it needs batteries, this is the way to handle it.

Bottomline: Grab some if your order needs it.

Running a FullHD Home theatre PC on my 42" panasonic TV and it does the job flawlessly. No need to buy socalled "Monster" cables at 4 times the price. Its got a ferrite core on each end too, so theres minimal disturbance.

Cons: Cheesy packaging, just a ziplock bag, but thats what I pay for! I dont want to pay for fancy clamshell packaging and a printed manual I dont need.

Other Thoughts: If you need to hook up your PC to a HDMI capable source, this would be your best bang for a buck.

Bottomline: Need it? Get it!

Bottomline: If you need some space and you have a CF slot free, go for this one. ;) 16Gb one is still a bit too expencive. Just buy a couple of these and some readers and you can easily create a mini server.

Pros: This remote is about the easiest PC remote ive ever seen. From the brown envelope to installed and using it, took around 3 to 5 minutes. ;) Plug it in, add batteries and it works. (Im using vista ultimate x64)

Cons: The mouse seems to be a tad wonky, it will only move in steps, it wont move fluently. Each time it stops, you have to release the mouse pad and press it again to move it another step. Not a huge problem but still annoying.

Other Thoughts: Perty cool little gadget for really cheap. Quality is good minus one little flaw that doesnt really ruin it.

Bottomline: Cheap! Get rid of the keyboard/mouse on your TVPC and use one of these. ;) Its good enough.

Pros: Works perty well, and gets rid of the annoying wire like its supposed to do. Nunchuk fits snugly into its cradle without popping out, and its not too heavy to whip and wiggle around. ;)
The wiimote part fits tightly using the notches in the base, and doesnt get in the way of your wriststrap.

Cons: Doesnt last all that long even on proper 900mAh AAA batteries, possibly because it sometimes fails to recognise the shutdown command, making it stay on untill it runs dry.

Other Thoughts: You can chuck away your sleeve if you want to use this. :P

Bottomline: Cool gadget. Dont expect to buy the better nyko one anywhere, they got sued by nintendo, revoking all nunchuk shipments immediately.

Pros: Its cheap and good for gadgetfreaks like me. :P It uses standard batteries so its easy to maintain. Displays the time quite brightly and distances of up to 10ft pose no problem at night. Its effective range is around 1~10ft. Tooclose and it blurrs in red, tofar and it faints tomuch to read.

Cons: Like mentionned before, the time setting buttons are too easy to press. If the manufacturer would change it to pinnhole buttons, the review would have been a 4.5
The other 0.5 is lost by a mucky plastic lense that is impossible to reach and clean. There seems to be some dust inside the projection tube that probably reduces its brightness alot. Doesnt ruin it though.

Other Thoughts: Its has some designflaws and with low price comes low quality. Even so, its a nice little trinket for when you need a 2nd timezone clock in your room but dont want to spend it on a whole other clock or some watch laying around.
Heres a tip for when you have some far off online friends. Get 3 of these and score the bulkrate discount, then label them with a timezone or friends name so you can see what time it is where your friends live. ;)

Bottomline: Buy it if you think youll enjoy playing with it. ;)

Cons: To continue on the pros, when theres 19 dodgy ones (below 1.3v), and 2 dead ones (0.03v), you DO care.
Packaging is a complete disaster, the plastic tray doesnt even clamp the cells in, they just rattle freely in a loose fitting indentation covered with a flimzy bit of cardboard and alot of tape. It ruinned almost half the shipment of batteries this way, DX has to find a better way to handle this..

Other Thoughts: Well if you feel lucky, order some, but chances are your order wont even meet 60% quality satisfaction.

Bottomline: Its cheap I guess, even if only half survives the trip.

Pros: Very nice little memorycard, functions very well in my Wii, all games ive played sofar recognised the memory. Feels perty solid and doesnt require force to go into its slot.

Cons: Its transluscent pink, and aplified by a red LED light in it. for me its a con, as it clashes with the clean white/blue look of the Wii. Its also got a switch on it to flip back and forth between 2 "partitions" I suppose. No idea why that is. I wish it would be just 1 big chunk of space.

Other Thoughts: If you wanna be set for life on gamecube savespace, this is the card you need. No question about it.

Bottomline: Love gamecube/wii? Chuck one of these in just for the heck of it.

Pros: I got it working right out the box in under 15 minutes with all desired settings done. I find it to be a bit wonky at times, but it does its job as an accesspoint fairly well. I havent had a connection drop on me around the house as of yet.

Cons: Gets a little hot, but not as redicilously hot as some people let you believe. ;) Its bigger then I thought, it sticks out a fair bit behind my computer.

Other Thoughts: It does its job, and for its price its a perty good device. Installing wasnt much of a problem, though I think the driver/setting application could have been alot better. Ontop of that the application kinda gives me the feeling it got translated to english in a hurry.

Bottomline: Its cheap, and it works, what are you waiting for? ;)

Cons: Probably isnt genuine for this price.. But whatever. :') Its good and its fast. Maybe for some people its an issue that a card this cheap has no warranty. :')

Other Thoughts: Cheap n dirty, does the job without paying out the nose for it.

Bottomline: Need some memory quick and cheap? Here ya go. ;)

Cons: The little keychain hoop sucks. :P Its too small and bended like a pretzil when I tried to use it.

Other Thoughts: Sweet little flashdrive, im completely satisfied with it. well, except for the chainloop but im willing to ignore that. ;)

Bottomline: If you need some portable memory without the worry of it cracking apart in any circumstance, this is the one you should get. This thing can probably survive being run over by trucks and cars all day.

Pros: Looks perty strong, the long loop made it easy to fit through the hole in my toolbox. The fact that you can set your own code makes it a very pleasant lock. No keys, just a number you probably already remember (pin number or something)

Cons: Manual was an absolute fail. It was for a completely different model hence it lost 3 ease of use points. I had to figure out myself how to change the numbers.

Other Thoughts: To change the numbers: Pull the loop out, swing it around 180', push it down hard (you should feel a grungy click), change the numbers, pull it up as far as it goes. Your lock now remembers the number you wanted.

Bottomline: Cheap, strong, why not?

Cons: None whatsoever!

Other Thoughts: The turbo button is a wee bit crooked but you barely even see it.
People have been complaining about the rubber grip pads coming off and a redicilously short 3ft cable, these problems all seem to be fixed now. ;)

Bottomline: If youre looking for a GC controller for your wii, this is the one you should be buying. Cheap and well built.

Pros: Its got a really solid feel to it, and everything looks well built. The click button feels nice, and it comes with a lanyard cord (HANDY when youre in dark)

Cons: Asfar as range concerns, you should be happy if your cam can pick it up at 2ft max. Not quite sure what the use for this "flashlight" is, as you cant really light up something across the room with it. The battery setup is a bit stupid aswell,as it takes 3x AAA while usually all AAA batteries are packed in 2 or 4.

Other Thoughts: If you need to look at stuff up close in the dark without being noticed this might work for you, but other then that its perty useless.

Bottomline: I woulnd buy this thing again, Its not as usefull as I hoped.

Pros: Nothing but praise for this little scale, I have tested it with a set of certified brass weights, and its spot on in all ranges. Cheap, small and its pan is well protected for you to carry it around in your pocket. It takes 2xAAA batteries wich came as a very pleasant surprice to me, as with these batteries it will last alot longer and is alot easier to get a hold of and replace then the usuall button cells you see in this kind of thing.
Even with a little weight on it (cup or container of some sort) it perfectly zeroes in and displays the measurements accurately.
The lid clicks on with use of a little magnet wich is a nice plus to me, it gives it a more decent feel to it, no snap hooks that could break off eighter.

Cons: Its small! ;) It can be a good thing but also a bad thing I guess. Big mass low dencity items might get in a pinch on this one as the screen gets covered perty quick.

Other Thoughts: Fantastic little scale, I use it to fill orders of ballbearings and it does its job well.

Bottomline: If you need a small scale to carry around or keep in your drawer, here ya go. ;) Buy one!

Pros: It looks nice when your wiimotes are propped up on it, the ledlights make it fit your Wii nicely. Does take the wiimote WITH lanyard, even the thicker ones.

Cons: Does not charge the battery without a Wiimote attached to it. Doesnt fit the wiimote with rubber jacket but thats to be expected. One of the contact pinns seems to be a bit out of line on my charger. I picked at it with a knife but it never really bent back neatly. No chance in hell the battery is 2800mAh.

Other Thoughts: Looks cool, ledlight ridge is not really all that bright, just dont put it anywhere at eyeheight. ;)

Bottomline: Im sure theres lots of better quality sets out there. But its not bad for its price.

Cons: Crappy packaging, but I dont care about the wrapper. ;) It comes in a dusty plastic bag, but it does what its supposed to, protect the cable.

Other Thoughts: I had to adjust my TV set to get the most out of this cable, but man was it worth it! Somuch crisper, and even the slightest ghosting is gone with this.

Bottomline: If your Wii didnt come with a 480p cable already and your TV supports it, SERIOUSLY buy this.

Other Thoughts: Asfar as a 1000 character review for a usb cable goes, here it is. So ill just ramble on in this box to fill the quota ktnx bye. ;-) Just disregard this part, it means nothing except filler, and more filler.

Pros: - Small! ofcourse.
- Extremely flat aswell, wich is handy for stuffing it in narrow crannies or even inside your server untill you need it. ;)
- Cord is quite long and looks ok.

Cons: - Delicate little thing, looks like it will break easily, like with all small things I suppose.
- Its not USB wich is a bit of a bummer because alot of new servers only have USB ports.

Other Thoughts: Mind you, I only gave this device 4/5 on the ease of use meter, simply because its so small! Its quite litterally half the size of my main keyboard, wich makes finding all the little keys stashed together on the little one a bit harder to do.

Bottomline: Need a keyboard where a normal one would be annoying? Get one of these and cram it away.

Buy it!

Other Thoughts: Cheap and wellmade, looks solid unlike some rechargables wich look like the casing is going to peel off.

Bottomline: If you need AAA rechargables, dont be temped by the obviously overoptimistic 1200 ones that are on this site, and get these instead. They dont try to bullskid you on the capaicty. ;)

Cons: Dust collector is a bit tricky to get off and back on again, suction is somewhat weak.

Other Thoughts: Its a fun little vacuum to clean your keyboard a little, even breadcrumbs are tobig for this little thing though.

Bottomline: Meh.. Its fun to clean some dust around your computer, ro when you are cleaning the inside of one, but for some proper cleaning, just get a real dustbuster instead.

Cons: None whatsoever. Good package, good voltage, good price. Just overall excellent batteries.

Other Thoughts: Works with lasers, better then rechargables, so grab these. :) Alkalines give 1.5v and rechargables only 1.2v. Good value for your money, and with 20 of em you wont run out of juice easily. So yeah. Get some!

Cons: The packaging doesnt hold down the pen and batteries during shipping. due to this my pen has a few minor scratches, most likely from the batteries rattling around. Spare batteries had a very slightly lower voltage due to this.

Other Thoughts: Very nice pen with lots of features and a nice box. The batteries coming loose during shipping cost it a build quality point.

Bottomline: If you want a nice little styluspen and love gadgets, this pen is excellent for you. :) Nothing beats the price eighter.

Pros: For some reason this one was much easier to apply then the origional Hori, also it seems this set fits better aswell (the hori left a 2mm gap). The package is all chinese like the origional one, BUT.. this one came with english on the tabs to peel the protectorprotectorfoil (>_<) off, so I didnt had a hard time figuring out wich side to put against the screen, like I had with the all chinese hori.

Cons: Associating themselves with origional hori. :') The origional ones are WORSE then these clones.

Other Thoughts: Ive tried both hori origional and these generic clones. The origional hori was an instant 7$ dissapointment, as it came with dust already on the protector. These where clean as a whistle and 1/3rd the cost.

Buy 2 of these, so youll have 1 to practice with. Start with the topscreen.

Bottomline: Dont even think about origionals, clones dont always mean less quality. Love your DS? Treat it with these!

The fact that its a clone card doesnt mean its rubbish, infact kingston can eat their heart out because this card isnt going to discredit their company name one bit. ;)

Bottomline: If you want the same quality for half the price, go for it. :)

Pros: I love this little LED beamer. :-3 I was VERY surprised at the color of the light, its much cleaner white then I thought. It made me toss my old maglites right in the bottom drawer for scrap parts. Its so light and bright it almost looks like clear daylight. Parabolic mirror is flawless, giving a perfectly round bright center and a nice wide washout around it. The amount of light coming from this little stick is shocking, I felt like a surgeon poking around in my computer with this superwhite light. ;)

The threads come pregreased, O-rings look fresh, and I do not have the dreaded rattling lense.

Cons: The button feels a little awkward, but that might be because im used to holding my flashlight with the light part at the bottom of my fist. The thing about the button being a tinybit iffy is true, but its really not bothersome as its actually handy if you want a quick spot of light by just squeezing it gently.

Other Thoughts: Extremely pleased with the quality of this flashlight. Still using a bulb light? Welcome to the 21st century. :)

Bottomline: Buy it now, buy it buy it comon buy it! :P

Pros: Its flexible silicone rubber rather then the hard plastic I thought it would be.

Cons: Its a bit thick, and it ends up being a giant lump once your headphones are wrapped around this thing, making it a bit annoying to put in for example a nintendo DS pouch. The grappel hooks easily let go of the wire because its spaced too wide. Winding the wire turned out to be more of a chore then I hoped for.

Other Thoughts: I expected it to be a little flatter and easier to use. I probably end up gifting them to others, as Im likely to not use these.

Bottomline: Meh.

Pros: - Its perty neat for playing GBA games, Ive tried several with no failures sofar.
- Mine DOES fit flush for some reason.
- When using a headset to block out the noice, high rumble is a blast!
- Unpatched Nintendo browser runs like a charm.
- You can flash this card and take out the slot1 card.

Cons: - High Rumble is noicy (moo's like a cow!).
- The plastic casing on mine was a little warped, but posed no problem.
- Doesnt remember rumble/expansion settings.

Other Thoughts: Its an awesome addition to any flashcard owner. Your slot2 is useless untill you get this thing. :) The lack of rumble/expansion settings memory is a pain in the ass though. You have to boot up the slot2 tool to select what you want it to do, then it will preform a soft reset so you can go about your normal slot1 menu with the slot2 ready for use.

Bottomline: If you want to crank your DS to the max, this card is a must.

Pros: This is a perty little pouch that suits the needs of most NDS lite users with ease. A nice little detail is the loops to hold an extra stylus. It comes with a lanyard clip cord too.

Cons: Although the wire pocket has plenty of room, the stretchband to hold down the little net is spaced a bit too far. Ive had my headphones drop out of them two times now. Maybe it ll stay put once I get my fishbone wrappers.

Other Thoughts: Its a nice pouch for people who own a flashcard, as theres only 3 game cartridge pockets, wich I personally use to hold my USB memorycard reader, SDcard reader, and spare memorycard.

Bottomline: Its the best flashcard gamer pouch on DX. Get the color that suits you best and go for it. Its a decent quality, all stitching looks properly made.

Cons: - Housing is a bit cheap, as the light spills out from the white part too.
- USB wire could have been a little longer.

Other Thoughts: Its a fun charger that looks neat holding your DS, some people claim it wont charge with the computer turned off, however when mine is turned off its still working.

Bottomline: If you want a cool desk ornament, or if you already have all your wallsockets in use, this thing will be great for you.

Pros: These are quite possibly the best cheap headphones in the history of ever. :P

They are comfortable, the bass is right on the money, plenty of volume, and they truely block out any sound around you.

- Cheap.
- Sexy aluminum alloy.
- Wire length is just right.
- Extremely comfortable (for me atleast).

Ive had a few nice headsets ranging up to 25 dollars, but these stand out by miles. The sound depth blew me away.

Cons: - Changing the rubbers is a tad bit tricky. (If you have to share your set with someone using the smaller/bigger buds, dont be stingy and just buy another one!)
- The jack just looks a wee bit flimzy to me, and I preffer angled ones.

Other Thoughts: Changing the buds is best done with a small stick of somesort (bent paperclip, small screwdriver), hook one end of the bud undernieth the ridge, press down with your thumb and force the other end over with the stick. Carefull not to poke the black filter though.

The wire feels somewhat soft and plyable compared to my other headsets, but this might be more of a pro then a con. ;)

Bottomline: If you dont already have these and youre going to buy at DX, seriously, toss one or two in with your order, you will not regret it!!

Pros: - Cable is thick, doesnt feel flimzy like some others.
- Due to this thickness, the cable rolls up nicely and doesnt easily get knotted up.
- Plugs are thick and offer plenty of room to pull.
- Stereo.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: It might be a tad too short for some.
1.5mtr may seem alot, but it really isnt (shoulder to toe, basicly).

Luckily for me though, it fits my needs just perfect, doesnt leave any slack while comfortably reaching the connectors.

Bottomline: For this price? Give it a go! Shipping is free, and it arrived here exactly on the dot 12 days.
