Flight Deck 5
Flight Deck 5
In the tradition of four previous versions, the new Flight Deck 5 keeps the excitement in aircraft carrier operations. The USS Gerald R Ford is your new base where youll perform launch and recovery until youre blue in the face. The powerful catapult gets you airborne in just a few hundred feet. And during recovery, youll want your tailhook to catch the steel cable to bring your muscular aircraft to a screeching halt. From the flight deck of the new USS Gerald R Ford, youll fly 7 exciting aircraft and take advantage of Flight Deck 5s brand new technology featuring an aircraft carrier that moves and a super accurate catapult launch and recovery system. Youll experience the thrill of authentic deck operations with AI traffic on and above the carrier. Youll see why cable recovery on the short flight deck is both thrilling and nerve-wracking.

Im having the same problem as others:
1. Nearly impossible to land on carrier because the LSOs directions are flawed, the "meatball" is totally wrong, and you fall through the carrier after catching the wires.
2. The flight dynamics are pretty unrealistic need to tweak the performance envelope of nearly all the aircraft - particularly the hornet that gets airborne on 15% power and hits over 400 knots...
Abacus needs to patch this soon...
I wish I had read the reviews here first

There are so many things wrong with this add-on:
- The aircraft models and textures are average. I couldve easily gotten high caliber aircraft off of FlightSim.com or AVSIMs databses. (And I already do)
- The most atrocious thing about the aircraft though, is the cockpits. The virtual cockpits, again, are the same exact thing that you can find for free. Even worse are the 2D panels. They look like something straight out of FS98.
- There are so many bugs with regards to the carriers and the missions. During night missions there is no panel lighting or carrier lighting. Cant see a thing. It also doesnt give you waypoints during any of these missions. They call out the coordinates once and thats it.
- Whenver I try to take off from the carrier it detects me as crashing and I get the old "bounce up". (If I had crashes turned on Id never get through this add-on)
- The documentation is poor quality. It mentions things that are common knowledge and leaves out items that are not.

Box states that the game is "enhanced for FSX". However many "important" features do not exist for FSX.
While Abacus brags that the carrier moves in FSX, they DONT have the following for FSX:
1) Abacus had to eliminate IFLOS (Improved Fresnel Lens Optical System - carrier landing guidance by instrumentation on HUD). Dev was unable to program the instruments to work with a moving carrier. In other words, you will have to land on the moving carrier by sight (without the guidance system)...so much for realism.
2) There are NO LAUNCHING MISSIONS and you cannot INITIALLY LAUNCH FROM THE CARRIER IN FREE FLIGHT in FSX. Abacus had to eliminate this ability because they cant place your plane on the moving carrier. You have to land first and then launch.
Basically, you have to "start" every mission in the air, then land (without a working IFLOS) and then launch. SO if you cant land (which I couldnt by sight, go figure), then you can never launch. Does this sound like fun?
Tech support was very willing to defend this decision with "thats just the way it is" as a response to my concern.
I will never understand why Abacus released this game with such disdain for FSX users and then used false advertisement to solicit sales. On top of all of this, they continue to ignore the FSX deficiencies by producing a new game, "Strike Force", with the same lame launching protocol.
Unfortunately, one star is the lowest score I can give for this game. Fortunately, I was able to get my money back. For FSX users, look elsewhere dont waste your time believing the lame advertising ploy from Abacus.
Bug review is accurate

Ive only played for about 4 hrs. Yes I have noticed strange bugs in this game. Some more serious than others. Such as the "TailHook" on the F-18E refusing to lower. Even if I click on the icon in the cockpit nothing happens. But it DOES work on the F-18C model. Maybe they switched the shortcut key? Who knows because I do not have a keyboard assignment manual. But you cant land on a carrier without a working Tailhook so basically Ive never put the F-18E on the deck yet.
Graphics are VERY good. So if you like eye-candy you should enjoy free flights around the carrier. Just dont land, it might look ugly from the bugs you may face.
Voice communications in this game with the carrier is really great!
I would rate this game much higher if the bugs were fixed.

A Death In Tuscany
A Death in Tuscany
In the picturesque Tuscan hill town of Scandicci, the body of a girl is discovered, lying by the edge of the woods. The local police investigate the case-but after a week, they still havent even identified her, let alone got to the bottom of how she died. Frustrated by the lack of progress, Chief Superintendent Michele Ferrara, head of Florences elite Squadra Mobile, decides to step in. Because toxins were discovered in the girls body, many assumed that she died of a self-inflicted drugs overdose. But Ferrara quickly realises that the truth is darker than that: he believes that the girl was murdered. And when he delves deeper, there are many aspects to the case that convince Ferrara that the girls death is part of a sinister conspiracy-a conspiracy that has its roots in the very foundations of Tuscan society...

Customer ReviewsPS3 for movies and multimedia
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
First off, Im not much of a console gamer. I primarily bought the ps3 as a blu-ray player and as a media player. For those purposes, it has exceeded my expectations!
The ps3 provides an excellent upconversion for existing DVDs as well.
What really impressed me was the Media Server function which allows me to turn on the Media Share option in Windows Vista and it shares my movies and music over my home network so I can watch videos I download on my TV or play my music through my sound system hooked up to my TV.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :0
I just purchased a brand new, 80 GB PS3 the other night. Got set up for 2 day shipping, and couldnt wait.
I went out and bought Resistance 2, mainly for the online multiplayer, and finally the PS3 arrived today. Setting up the PS3, a notice kept flashing in the top right of the screen saying "Controller 1 needs to be recharged". A simple fix, I plugged in the USB cord and then the controller. Waiting for a response on the controller, nothing changed. I went into the other room and plugged the controller into a PCs USB port, and I saw the charging response. After many trials and tests, I came to realize both of the PS3s USB ports were bad, and didnt recognize anything. As a last, last resort, I tried resetting the PS3 to Factory Defaults, and what do you know, the PS3 cant recognize the controller connected via USB on either of the two ports! PERFECT! Called up Amazon, set up an exchange for a new system, and here I am. All I can do for the next few days are stare at my "The Dark Knight" Blu Ray disc, Resistance 2 game, and brand new 42" Panasonic Plasma. What a letdown! Anyways, the system was great until I realized I had bad USB ports.
A decend game console
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
One could find a lot of reviews that state good about the ps3 console. So I will focus on some of the minor inconveniences.
1) Very few USB ports. And all these are present in the front. I would like to prefer to keep it in the back.
2) When the PS3 network is down, the account management hangs.
3) Network games are good but even with broadband internet connection the games still seem to have some kind of a delay.
4) Games are expensive
5) I couldnt find any learning games for my 5 year old.
Great Holiday Entertainment for the Family
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
The Playstation 3 console probably provides the most entertainment value for your holiday shopping dollars this season. More than just a video game console, this system is also a top-notch Blu-Ray player. It plays regular DVDs as well as Blu-Ray. If you have a high definition TV, or are planning to get one in the future, the PS3 should be on your shopping list.
I own all of the major video game consoles, with the exception of the Nintendo Wii. The Playstation 3 gets the most usage because of its versatility. Not only does it play Blu-Ray and regular DVD, it is also capable of downloading movies and television shows from the Playstation Store. There are currently over 1,000 movies available for rent or download from the Playstation Store, and the inventory is growing at a very rapid rate. Even if you do not play games, you will find it hard to ever be bored if you have one of these consoles in your living room.
All three of the major consoles (PS3, XBox360, Wii, PS2) have big blockbuster games coming out in 2009. The PS3 lineup, just like the PS2s, promises to have something for everyone, from the casual gamers to the hardcore players. If you are looking to buy a console that the whole family can use, you will find it in the PS3.
This version of the PS3 will not play video games that were made for the PS2. This function, referred to as "backwards compatibility" is available only on the more expensive ($500) model of the PS3. If there is something to be criticized about this otherwise perfect console, it would have to be that, the lack of backwards compatibility. If backwards compatibility is important to you, then you will need to spend an additional $100 and purchase the PS3 model with that feature, like I did. For most people, I suspect that backwards compatibility may not be that important. It is important if you own a very large library of PS2 games. If not, then save the money and buy this model.
I have tried both models and eventually decided to get the one with backwards compatibility, but that is because I currently have a large inventory of older video games. For your information, I buy and sell video games for additional income. In other words, you might say I am a "pro". But most people will not demand that much from their consoles (I also own the Elite version of the XBox 360). This PS3 model should be more than what the typical user will ever need.
The Sony Playstation brand has always stood for good value right from the start. There are many games for the Playstation and the Playstation 2 that have actually gone up in value over the years. I have recently sold an original edition (black label, not Greatest Hits) of the Playstation game "Xenogears" for $120! Last year, I sold a copy of Final Fantasy 7 for about the same amount of money. I do believe that no other brand in video games hold their value, or in some cases appreciate in value, than the Playstation brand. You really cannot go wrong should you invest in the brand. I am hoping the same thing will happen with the PS3.
This model, like all other PS3 model, does not come with an HDMI cable. You will get the very best picture quality through HDMI. You should be able to pick up one of these cables from any of your major retailers for a small amount of money. I suggest that you use HDMI. The 80GB hard drive is very easy, and very cheap, to upgrade. It uses the same hard drive as most laptop computers.
This version of the PS3 console benefits from the latest Sony engineering. It actually operates cooler than the other model and uses less power. The backwards compatible model uses the older power supply, which consumes more power and runs a little bit warmer. All models of the PS3 operate flawlessly and they do not have a tendency to overheat. They have proven to be very solid and reliable. But it is always better to have a unit that operates as cool as possible and uses the least amount of electricity. The silent operation will also allow you to enjoy your Blu-Ray and DVDs even in a quiet room. Basically, this is the PS3 model that I would recommend for most people.
Should you buy a video game/entertainment console this Holiday season?
In my humble opinion, these entertainment consoles are the greatest entertainment value for your dollar during these tough economic times. If you compare the cost of a vacation, or the cost of taking your family out to the movies, you will see that the cost of a video game console compares very favorably. And these consoles (at least the Sony consoles) have the potential to last for a long time. My PS2 is eight years old and still runs perfectly. There is no reason not to expect the same durability from the PS3. And lets remember that this console plays movies. This console can really open up all kinds of entertainment possibilities for you and your family this Holiday season, and beyond.
Juggernaut Multimedia, Lacks gaming
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
PS3 is a multimedia juggernaut.. if you want to download movies, play blu ray, listen to music.. search the net.. this is probably the best in the market right now according to cnn money. However, as a gaming console alone it lacks big time because of the games available.. if you want a blu ray player buy this now. If you want this console strictly for gaming wait till next year where all the games a supposedly going to release.

What really impressed me was the Media Server function which allows me to turn on the Media Share option in Windows Vista and it shares my movies and music over my home network so I can watch videos I download on my TV or play my music through my sound system hooked up to my TV.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!
Build Quality
Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :0
I just purchased a brand new, 80 GB PS3 the other night. Got set up for 2 day shipping, and couldnt wait.
I went out and bought Resistance 2, mainly for the online multiplayer, and finally the PS3 arrived today. Setting up the PS3, a notice kept flashing in the top right of the screen saying "Controller 1 needs to be recharged". A simple fix, I plugged in the USB cord and then the controller. Waiting for a response on the controller, nothing changed. I went into the other room and plugged the controller into a PCs USB port, and I saw the charging response. After many trials and tests, I came to realize both of the PS3s USB ports were bad, and didnt recognize anything. As a last, last resort, I tried resetting the PS3 to Factory Defaults, and what do you know, the PS3 cant recognize the controller connected via USB on either of the two ports! PERFECT! Called up Amazon, set up an exchange for a new system, and here I am. All I can do for the next few days are stare at my "The Dark Knight" Blu Ray disc, Resistance 2 game, and brand new 42" Panasonic Plasma. What a letdown! Anyways, the system was great until I realized I had bad USB ports.
A decend game console
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
One could find a lot of reviews that state good about the ps3 console. So I will focus on some of the minor inconveniences.
1) Very few USB ports. And all these are present in the front. I would like to prefer to keep it in the back.
2) When the PS3 network is down, the account management hangs.
3) Network games are good but even with broadband internet connection the games still seem to have some kind of a delay.
4) Games are expensive
5) I couldnt find any learning games for my 5 year old.
Great Holiday Entertainment for the Family
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
The Playstation 3 console probably provides the most entertainment value for your holiday shopping dollars this season. More than just a video game console, this system is also a top-notch Blu-Ray player. It plays regular DVDs as well as Blu-Ray. If you have a high definition TV, or are planning to get one in the future, the PS3 should be on your shopping list.
I own all of the major video game consoles, with the exception of the Nintendo Wii. The Playstation 3 gets the most usage because of its versatility. Not only does it play Blu-Ray and regular DVD, it is also capable of downloading movies and television shows from the Playstation Store. There are currently over 1,000 movies available for rent or download from the Playstation Store, and the inventory is growing at a very rapid rate. Even if you do not play games, you will find it hard to ever be bored if you have one of these consoles in your living room.
All three of the major consoles (PS3, XBox360, Wii, PS2) have big blockbuster games coming out in 2009. The PS3 lineup, just like the PS2s, promises to have something for everyone, from the casual gamers to the hardcore players. If you are looking to buy a console that the whole family can use, you will find it in the PS3.
This version of the PS3 will not play video games that were made for the PS2. This function, referred to as "backwards compatibility" is available only on the more expensive ($500) model of the PS3. If there is something to be criticized about this otherwise perfect console, it would have to be that, the lack of backwards compatibility. If backwards compatibility is important to you, then you will need to spend an additional $100 and purchase the PS3 model with that feature, like I did. For most people, I suspect that backwards compatibility may not be that important. It is important if you own a very large library of PS2 games. If not, then save the money and buy this model.
I have tried both models and eventually decided to get the one with backwards compatibility, but that is because I currently have a large inventory of older video games. For your information, I buy and sell video games for additional income. In other words, you might say I am a "pro". But most people will not demand that much from their consoles (I also own the Elite version of the XBox 360). This PS3 model should be more than what the typical user will ever need.
The Sony Playstation brand has always stood for good value right from the start. There are many games for the Playstation and the Playstation 2 that have actually gone up in value over the years. I have recently sold an original edition (black label, not Greatest Hits) of the Playstation game "Xenogears" for $120! Last year, I sold a copy of Final Fantasy 7 for about the same amount of money. I do believe that no other brand in video games hold their value, or in some cases appreciate in value, than the Playstation brand. You really cannot go wrong should you invest in the brand. I am hoping the same thing will happen with the PS3.
This model, like all other PS3 model, does not come with an HDMI cable. You will get the very best picture quality through HDMI. You should be able to pick up one of these cables from any of your major retailers for a small amount of money. I suggest that you use HDMI. The 80GB hard drive is very easy, and very cheap, to upgrade. It uses the same hard drive as most laptop computers.
This version of the PS3 console benefits from the latest Sony engineering. It actually operates cooler than the other model and uses less power. The backwards compatible model uses the older power supply, which consumes more power and runs a little bit warmer. All models of the PS3 operate flawlessly and they do not have a tendency to overheat. They have proven to be very solid and reliable. But it is always better to have a unit that operates as cool as possible and uses the least amount of electricity. The silent operation will also allow you to enjoy your Blu-Ray and DVDs even in a quiet room. Basically, this is the PS3 model that I would recommend for most people.
Should you buy a video game/entertainment console this Holiday season?
In my humble opinion, these entertainment consoles are the greatest entertainment value for your dollar during these tough economic times. If you compare the cost of a vacation, or the cost of taking your family out to the movies, you will see that the cost of a video game console compares very favorably. And these consoles (at least the Sony consoles) have the potential to last for a long time. My PS2 is eight years old and still runs perfectly. There is no reason not to expect the same durability from the PS3. And lets remember that this console plays movies. This console can really open up all kinds of entertainment possibilities for you and your family this Holiday season, and beyond.
Juggernaut Multimedia, Lacks gaming
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
PS3 is a multimedia juggernaut.. if you want to download movies, play blu ray, listen to music.. search the net.. this is probably the best in the market right now according to cnn money. However, as a gaming console alone it lacks big time because of the games available.. if you want a blu ray player buy this now. If you want this console strictly for gaming wait till next year where all the games a supposedly going to release.

This drive is very slow. It feels like its writing at USB1 speeds instead of USB2. According to the Corsair website this is due to using MLC NAND instead of SLC NAND, at least for the GT models, I dont know if it applies to all their flash drives. I would have bought something else if I knew this was so slow.

I got this product after a friend recommended it. 8 gb is a ton of storage, but now I wont have to worry about shifting files around on my portable devices. Its just all in my pocket. The usb is incased in a very grippy rubber sleeve. Very nifty, but it prevents it from fitting into tight spaces in the back of my computer. Not a biggy considering most have front usb ports now anyways. Good product, definitely worth the $26. : )

Carefully Consider Planned Usage
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :2
I more than echo the sentiments of the recent reviewers preceeding me, decrying the horribly slow write speeds. If you are buying a USB thumb drive of this 32 GB capacity, you likely are anticipating transferring a substantial amount of material. In such a case, I would recommend that you do this overnight, or on a day when you wont be using your computer, not only because so much time elapses in the transfer, but also because that process slows down a 3 GHz computer to little better than a crawl, so you just cant work efficiently. You could also transfer material in small aliquots, but I suspect that most people with a large amount of material would best "take their medicine" and relegate the transfer to a large single session of idle time.
If this drive will be used to backup sensitive material, and you are carrying this around, say, on a keychain, it would be wise to encrypt the drive, or a folder which can be encrypted and placed on the virgin drive. Either of these options can be accomplished with a well reviewed freeware program, TrueCrypt, which works very nicely. I elected to encrypt the entire drive, since I was only going to use this as a backup repository. Obviously, if the read and transfer speed is as slow coming back to the hard drive, recovery of large amounts of information will be equally painful, but at least you have it if need be. One downside of the encryption is that you have to have the TrueCrypt program on the computer where you are using the file, even if you use the traveling version. If you are interested, you can read the relevant documentation on TrueCrypts site.
Please note that I have absolutely no vested interest whatsoever in TrueCrypt!!
Bottom line is that this is a well made, well functioning drive which handles transfer and usage of routine sized files and folders efficiently however, for those anticipating frequent large data transfers, this drive format poses severe obstacles in view of its slow writing time, hence the deduction of one star.

This product is meant to cool down your Xbox 360. However a very bad side effect is that it builds up moisture. Moisture is, as you can imagine, VERY bad for electronic devices. It does not allow all the hot air to leave, so it gets trapped and evaporates.
My Story: I purchased this item thinking it would help cool down my XBOX 360. When my xbox is on it heats my room up about 10 degrees. At first it worked. It was noticeably cooler in my room. After about a week I experienced the "red ring". I researched a little bit and found that people had been having the same problem. However, from what I have heard not everyone has this problem. So, in conclusion, I suggest you stay away from this, but if you want to take your chances, I can not guarantee this will not work for this.

This Product will fit either the Xbox 360 Premium System or any Core System. It will increase the noise of your Xbox 360 slightly but the benefits outweigh the noise. Your Xbox 360 will run cooler and last longer than without it. It is powered by the Xbox 360 and it does not take away enough power from the Xbox 360 to interfer with game play.
There are several of these intercoolers being sold on Ebay that will not fit your machine. Be sure to order this one, It will fit.

i bought the intercooler when reports started coming out about the RROD issue. I figured any way of keeping my machine cool was better than having to send it in, right? wrong. it attaches to the 360 shoddily and a power arc between the power outlet on the back of the 360 and the intercooler fused the intercooler to the back of my system. I had to use a hammer and pliers to get the damn thing off. it took a couple of the little plastic thingys that cover the prongs with it. Ive also read reports that the intercooler actually CAUSES the RROD issue because it draws too much power away from the system.
It does what its meant to do

There is not much to say about it. There are three fans and it helps remove the heat the Xbox 360 packs. So, it does the job. The only problem is it will make it much louder. Fans are noisy but I guess thats the price you pay. Its a welcome fix for a bad design of the console. Hey, I had 5 (five) 3RROD (the three red rings every one complains about) and I know many other people among friends and relatives who had at least 1 console die on them.
I got two of the new consoles now which are much quieter than they used to be. Unfortunately with the intercooler, it makes it louder all over again. Oh well...
Will have adverse effects on your Xbox!

Seemed to work fine at first, just made the whole thing louder. A couple months later though, I started receiving an error relatively frequently on startup. It wasnt the Red Ring of Death, but an error nonetheless, along with a wierd moaning whirring coming from the Xbox. I thought the Xbox was going bad. I started looking for another one of these for my new Elite, and came across all the other reviews about this bad product. I took it off my old Xbox, and it worked great again. Luckily as far as I can tell it didnt do any noticeable long lasting damage. Hopefully it will still last awhile when I give it to my brother. Its definitely not worth the risk!

Xbox 360 Intercooler
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
This Product will fit either the Xbox 360 Premium System or any Core System. It will increase the noise of your Xbox 360 slightly but the benefits outweigh the noise. Your Xbox 360 will run cooler and last longer than without it. It is powered by the Xbox 360 and it does not take away enough power from the Xbox 360 to interfer with game play.
There are several of these intercoolers being sold on Ebay that will not fit your machine. Be sure to order this one, It will fit.
Bad Product

i bought the intercooler when reports started coming out about the RROD issue. I figured any way of keeping my machine cool was better than having to send it in, right? wrong. it attaches to the 360 shoddily and a power arc between the power outlet on the back of the 360 and the intercooler fused the intercooler to the back of my system. I had to use a hammer and pliers to get the damn thing off. it took a couple of the little plastic thingys that cover the prongs with it. Ive also read reports that the intercooler actually CAUSES the RROD issue because it draws too much power away from the system.
It does what its meant to do

There is not much to say about it. There are three fans and it helps remove the heat the Xbox 360 packs. So, it does the job. The only problem is it will make it much louder. Fans are noisy but I guess thats the price you pay. Its a welcome fix for a bad design of the console. Hey, I had 5 (five) 3RROD (the three red rings every one complains about) and I know many other people among friends and relatives who had at least 1 console die on them.
I got two of the new consoles now which are much quieter than they used to be. Unfortunately with the intercooler, it makes it louder all over again. Oh well...
Will have adverse effects on your Xbox!

Seemed to work fine at first, just made the whole thing louder. A couple months later though, I started receiving an error relatively frequently on startup. It wasnt the Red Ring of Death, but an error nonetheless, along with a wierd moaning whirring coming from the Xbox. I thought the Xbox was going bad. I started looking for another one of these for my new Elite, and came across all the other reviews about this bad product. I took it off my old Xbox, and it worked great again. Luckily as far as I can tell it didnt do any noticeable long lasting damage. Hopefully it will still last awhile when I give it to my brother. Its definitely not worth the risk!

It comes with an extra battery. i wish i had known that it did. It was not obvious from any pics or literature so i bought another that i didnt need.
Dont waste your money, these batteries dont hold a charge
Rating Point :1 Helpful Point :5
People - dont buy this product. Its a complete rip off for 2 reasons.
First of all, the batteries do not hold a charge at all. If you let this sit around for even just one week without using it, all the juice will be gone.
Second, its no cheaper than standard rechargeable batteries, so why not just use those to begin with? Not only will they work better, but you can also use them with any other product. This battery pack is propietary and only works with 360 controllers. If it was insanely awesome battery time it might be worth it, but its not, so dont waste your money!

Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
Id give this 4 1/2 if I could, but there is one thing that I think Microsoft could have fixed in this product. The power cord. Its plenty long, and its well made. But its not as thin or flexible as I would like. The reason being is because I cant put it anywhere without it looking conspiquous. And if the cord has a kink the whole unit slowly slides to the end of the table, or stands up slightly on one side.
The charging pack works great, but for $25-$30 before shipping, Id expect just a little more quality going into the smaller aspects of the product. So 4 and a half stars.
Works perfect!

Works well. No issues and I cant see there being any. Cheaper than buying from any large electronics chain store, free shipping and no tax = great.
Quick...how about fast

Overall this is a great charger because it charges one battery pack faster than it say it takes. I havent tried it with two though.
