Pros:

Multiple rubber thing size. The cord isn't likely to break. Good sound quality. Other people don't hear the music even if it's loud. The sound is really loud compared to other earphones

Cons:

Bad quality for Metal if you don't have an equalizer in your player.

Other Thoughts:

Works great for the price.

Bottomline:

If you're looking for earphones, buy them, they're cheap, sound good, and if they don't suit your expectation, you only bought them 4$ so you have almost nothing to lose.

Pros:

Biggest memory card available on the market. Suits the Wii color. Works the same as an original Gamecube memory card.

Cons:

It's a little bigger in size than the original Gamecube memory cards.

Other Thoughts:

I had a 64mb memory card that I paid 40$ before, I lost all my save 2 times! I didn't lose my saves yet with this one, it has double size and it cost nothing compared to my last memory card

Bottomline:

Definitely buy that if your memory card is full or if you have one that keeps erasing your saves like mine.

Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros:

Doesn't look cheap at all. Accurate, no gap ove.r time. The name sounds cool

Cons:

I have big wrist so the watch strap is a bit small. I could say it's "standard" because it's as big as most watch with the original strap.

Other Thoughts:

For that price you could buy some cheap clone in New York that will work for 3-4 days.

I still don't really know how this watch works. When I received it, it wasn't moving, I just set the real hours and it started working. I think there's a battery that charge when you move because it never stopped working for me even if I leave it on my desk for 2 days.

Bottomline:

Could be a very nice gift if you don't want to spend a lot of money. (Or if you're just a cheap greedy person!)

Pros:

Great looking white. It looks like an official Gamecube controller. It looks like it's a Wii controller since it fits with every other Wii accessory. Exactly same plastic shape as an official controller. The controller is amazingly light compared to official controllers!

Cons:

The plastic doesn't feel as "soft" as the official controllers. The button are "clicky" (depending on the person, this could also be a Pro, the buttons aren't hard to press but it clicks when you press them).

Other Thoughts:

I thought the light weight was due to the lack of a rumble feature. But the rumble is really there and I didn't see something missing yet.

Yes, it's a third party controller (although I really don't know where it comes from) so the no "nintendo gamecube" wrote on it.

Bottomline:

I didn't buy the other controllers because they were looking weird, this one is looking the same as a real one and works just fine. It's also half the price of an official Nintendo Gamecube controller. So if you have a Wii, buy one!

Pros:

Get control over a TV, fast! All the useful controls (there's numbers on this one so it's pretty useful). Works from pretty far (for a little thing like that).

Cons:

It's made of plastic, feels like a cheap toy that will break soon in your hand (but it doesn't break easily.
I broke something when trying to put my battery in one of the remote, it doesn't fall off the remote though. Just remember that there's some kind of switch to open the battery thing, don't force it!

Time response may be slow on some TV.

Other Thoughts:

Like I said, on some TV you'll have to wait a little before the TV does what you "asked" it to do... But on my TV it works almost as fast as my real controller.

Bottomline:

It's the kind of useless little gadget that everyone wants. Be sure to get more than one as your friends will probably want some. When I told my friend that they were 5$ then wouldn't believe it and were expecting at least 15-20$, so think that you can buy more than one, get a bulkrate coupon, sell the other remote you got and you'll have made profit from buying that thing!
