Amazon.com Product Description:
Is your car's check engine light on? If it is, your car is trying to tell you something and the Actron CP9145 Super AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner speaks its language. Use this scanner to unlock the information stored in your car's computer. Whenever your check engine light is on, the device can pinpoint the problem so you can fix it fast and be on your way.



The Actron CP9145 easily scans and retrieves DTCs. View details.


The user interface is designed for ease of use and quick control of scanning functions.


Turn off that distracting "check engine" light.
The scanner allows you to easily retrieve, read, and erase OBD II trouble codes, as well as display and read live vehicle data for a faster diagnosis. With optional cables, you can also retrieve OBD I codes and live data for 1984-95 Ford and GM models, and 1989-95 Chrysler models. This sophisticated, yet extremely user-friendly tool includes the CP9145 base unit and can be used on OBD II compliant cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. from 1996 to present. Plus, the tool is fully upgradeable, accommodating future vehicles.

The CP9145 is built tough for both shop and road test use. It also features a large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display that shows the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their definitions. And although you still have to fix the problem, the scanner will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive. The scanner is easy to connect to your vehicle, and a user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap, including live engine data parameters (PIDs). Built-in help screens help you interpret the data, and you can view freeze frame data, which provides a "snapshot" of the vehicle's operating conditions at the time of the fault. Meanwhile, an internal 9-volt battery stores the latest test results for later review.

Use the Monitor Status and I/M readiness (Inspection/Maintenance) function to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. I/M Readiness is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance with a state emissions program, so you'll have a good idea if your vehicle will pass the standards.

Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test--even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms.

The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems.

The scanner comes with CD software that contains 5,000 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their descriptions.


What's in the Box
Super AutoScanner CP9145, OBD II cable, 8-foot extension cable, manual/CD-ROM with over 5,000 code definitions, and soft carrying case.

Manufacturer Warranty
One-year limited warranty.

Mechanical Shop Owner
This scanner is easy to use and less money then others that do the same function. I am pleased with it's performance, and have recomended it to my compeditors.


Does its job
Fast service and the product does what it is supposed to do. Can't ask for better.


Competent at what it says it does
So far so good on all OBDII vehicles ... I wish it had a cheap option for the OBDI adapters


Amazon title for this product is wrong.
I am pleased with this CP9145, however please note that it does ***not*** have Record and Playback Data Capability. The amazon web page title for this product says it does have that capability. The manufacturer says it does not, and it is not described at all in the user manual. The other features of this product work well. I would have easily given it 5-stars if the title wasn't misleading as to a material feature. I have asked amazon to correct this for the CP9145, and for other models that also have the incorrect info in the title. Note that the CP9145 has live data reading, it's doesn't have the Record and Playback Data Capability.


Great tool!
I purchased this unit specifically to use with my '94 Corvette, which has an in-between on-board-diagnostics setup. This year Corvette has some OBDI and some OBDII functionality and has an OBDII connector. The Actron works perfectly with the Corvette. I also tried it on my Toyota Highlander and it worked just peachy for that as well. The unit appears to be well built and solid. I'm really pleased that I purchased it.

It worked flawlessly on dark color
I had a 4 inches scratch on my hood of my brand new VW Passat. Although it was a very thin line it still could catch my nail. First I didn't want to use something abrasive on the new paint but trying to fill the scratch didn't work with oridinary waxes. I wanted to use something recommended by many users, and tested againts others, and found this test winner product.

Application was easy. You have to rub with polish for about 1-2 minutes, till you see the scratch is gone, then clean the surface and apply the wax. I used a terry cloth for rubbing. The scratch on my dark blue car was all gone in 5 minutes.

I also would like to try the polish sold in larger amounts for my dated car. You can feel that it is safe to use and still working.


Believe
All I have to say is nonbelievers, believe! Quixx Paint Scratch Remover works like a charm. It's a great product and will keep your vehicle looking new. I stood there amazed as my scratch was gone, gone, gone.


It really works
I was really surprised that this actually works. I had a scratch and it took it our no problem. I will say however, that you arm does get a little tired from rubbing but it's worth it. This is a must have!


works as advertised
Does what it claims to do especially for superficial scratches!!! Deeper ones need more help like primer help. Best I have tried so far and I have tried a lot!!! The kit includes everything you will need. I am very happy with it in fact I just bought another one from amazon!!!


Just finished using it - pretty good!
I have a 2005 Corolla with a light beige clear coat. One day when I was using a cleaner wax, I bore down on the hood in three - four places trying to remove the last traces of some tar blotches. Big mistake!! The result was that the finish had lots of little monofiliment-fishing-line-like lines in circles around the places I had scrubbed. (Meguiars or somebody else had warned me to use a special soft cloth for this kind of work and . . you know the rest.) I tried Turtle Wax polish and followed up with ICE polish and still felt distraught. Well, on a gamble, I bought this product. It was either do this or take the car into a body shop. I just finished applying it and following it with ICE and I'm fairly pleased. I can't say how the finish will look later in the day when the full sun hits the hood, but it looks nice now.

Deltran Smart Charger
I ordered the Deltran Smart charger (tender) as it's the same unit that BMW uses. It had nothing but great reviews and so far I'm very pleased. I have it hooked to my Generater to keep the battery charged and ready as it's Hurricane season in FL. They claim their charging method will actually make the battery last longer, that would be nice, but time will tell. Comes with two end, standard clips and type that you can bolt on to the battery lugs. There is a disconnect in the cable so you can leave it attached to the battery and just plug the charger. The side on the battery even had a nice little plug so you can't short out the battery if the cable is moving around after being disconnected. Very pleased so far and would buy another one if I needed it.


deltran 1.25 amp battery tender
This charger/tender works exactly as promised. I like the fact that you dont need to babysit it. My only concern is that it gets very warm while charging my trolling battery. That may be normal but should there be a problem, there is a 10 year warranty. How many products do you know of which have THAT?


Excellent Product
The Deltran SuperSmart Battery Tender Plus 12-volt 1.25 AMP Battery Charger has done the job for me exactly as expected. I keep my fold-down travel trailer in my garage all year around, except when I use it for camping.
I had another brand of trickle charger hooked up to the battery on my trailer, but it eventually overcharged my battery, causing it to burn out. This Deltran Battery Tender brings the battery up to full charge, then shuts off automatically until the charge goes down a bit, then brings the charge up to normal again. I highly recommend it.


Great Product
I purchased a couple of these units for cars that are store for a week or two between drives. The choice of cables allowed me to set things up so that I dont ever need to access the battery or leave a door/window open. I just plug the unit in and my batteries are always fully charged. After having to jump start cars a couple of times, it is really great to get into the car and have it "come to life" instantly!

Great product. Worth every penny. I recommend the 25" extension too...


Excellent little battery charger!
I have a 1967 Ford truck that can be quite a drain on the battery at times, especially during the colder months. I purchased this before last winter, and never once had an issue with the battery being too low or too cold, despite some pretty frigid temps. I set this on a shelf just in front of and above my truck, and leave the lead to the charger hanging. I then wired the battery end to my battery and channeled it so the plug end can be pulled through the grill. It's nearly invisible when it's not in use, but is very quick and easy to plug up. I've gotten used to just plugging up the truck every time I'm done with it, and this little puppy brings it up to full charge fairly quickly!

Highly recommended, especially if you have an older car that either doesn't get driven much or is a heavy drain on the battery.

Good guage
Second one I have owned. Good readings. Lighted. Programmed to pressure in both front and rear tires.Easy to handle


Good purchase
Easy to use and the screen is easy to read. It's a little big for a tire gauge but the size also makes it easier to handle.


Excellent tire gauge
I bought two of these gauges. They are easy to use and work great. They appear to be accurate, unless they are both off exactly the same way. By keeping my Toyota Prius tires properly inflated I get at least 10% better gas mileage, so the gauges will pay for themselves soon.


Efficient and practical
Have used both dial and pen type air pressure guages; accutire digital is by far the most assuredly accurate and easy to use guage I've owned. The suggestion of adding a 5/16" "O" ring to the test oriface is well made. Note: even pressure -squarely on the valve tip- is required to attain the "beep" signaling a completed measurement; the "O" ring allows this with greater ease. I might add, a small amount of a contact adhesive applied to the "O"ring (opposite to the side contacting the valve stem) will keep the ring from "popping-out" of the orifice.


sbr
I love this product it is very accurate and it has allowed me so save lots of money in tyres and at the fuel pump

good for the price!
am going to be driving from San Diego, CA to Seattle, WA in about a week and have purchased both this and Highland 20052 Superfit Bar Carrier for this trip to use on my '99 Toyota Corolla. This is my first purchase of a cargo bag for on top of your car.

Finally have both the bag and the rack so I decided to put it all on my car to make sure it all works before this trip. The bag was fairly big and I had to spread the bars across all the way, but I do think it will work.

I will update after the trip with how it works out.


KarPack roof top carrier - Excellent
We bought this specifically to take a trip from Pittsburgh to North Carolina in the Outer Banks. It worked admirably for us; It sprinkled a bit when we were travelling and there was no water incursion to the duffel bags that we'd packed. So we are very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone as a worthy product that is very reasonably priced.


Great Product
Me and my family just went on a family vacation from NC to FL and other places around FL. We drove about 1500 miles on the trip. Drove threw serious rainstorms on and off the entire time and had no problems. Everything was dry and intact. I did buy the extra tie downs and it was'nt going anywhere.


Worked well
I was pleased. It fit 5 suitcases. I just used it in the bed of my pickup. We drove through about 3 hours of light to hard rain. Everything stayed dry.


Car Top Carrier worked awesome
We bought this off Amazon for .95 with the free shipping... I installed it on our 2000 Ford Windstar, it went on real easy between the crossbars. The day we left for our trip we loaded it early in the morning then we got a very heavy downpour, we drove in the heavy downpour for about 30 minutes at 70 MPH and when we arrived at our destination 6 hours later everything was bone dry inside.... I drove freeway the whole way at speeds up to 80 MPH and it worked great, it did shift a little but it was fine... I did attach it down with extra bungy cords I had just to be extra safe, but it barely moved.... make sure you tape the straps down with duct tape or they will flap in the wind and work themselves loose, I had the duct tape come off one and the strap came off after flapping in the wind at 80MPH... I stopped put it back on and taped it better the second time and never had a problem after that.... this is definitely worth the .95 and it definitely proved it was waterproof.... also stores really nice in a small box.... my other advice is to practice load it on the ground so you will know the best way to load it when it's on your roof...

ScanGauge II 3-in-1 Compact Multifunction Vehicle Computer with Customizable Display

ScanGauge II 3-in-1 Compact Multifunction Vehicle Computer with Customizable Display
Binding: Automotive
Manufacturer: Linear Logic
Product Description:
Programmable 3-in-1 automotive trip computer, diagnostic scan tool, and up to 37 digital gauges in one (vehicle dependent) Watch fuel consumption, cost-per-mile, coolant temperature, engine speed, horsepower, and much more in real time Works on all 1996 or newer OBDII cars, including gas, diesel, propane and hybrid vehicles Checks for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), clears the codes, and can turn off the "Check Engine" light No tools required for installation, small size fits nearly anywhere in the vehicle
Amazon.com:
The ScanGaugeII is a 3-in-1 automotive computer that combines a multifunction trip computer, diagnostic scan tool, and up to 37 digital gauges in one small package. It connects easily to your vehicle's On-Board Diagnostic (OBDII) port and communicates directly with the vehicle's computer. Not sure if your car uses OBDII or Controller Area Network (CAN)? The unit will automatically determine which system to use and switch to it. The ScanGaugeII works on all 1996 or newer OBDII cars, including gas, diesel, propane and hybrid vehicles, as well as vehicles with the latest CAN systems. A detachable cable allows for easy transfer between multiple vehicles. Its menu-driven operation means there's no need to memorize complex sequences, and no tools are required for installation.

Expandable Add-A-Gauge Technology
The ScanGaugeII has been redesigned with expandable Add-A-Gauge (aka XGauge) technology. Add to the original 12 gauges by customizing the ScanGaugeII to monitor up to 25 more--depending on your specific vehicle's sensor design. Four gauges can be displayed simultaneously and can help determine fuel consumption rates, allowing you to adjust driving behavior and save gas. At the same time, keep an eye on coolant temperature, engine speed, and much more in real time. If there is a young driver in the house or friends borrow your car, the ScanGaugeII can record speeds of up to 158 mph and store the information for you to view later, so you will know just how fast your young driver or friend was going last night. If the unit was disconnected, you'll know: An indicator will be displayed in the trip data.


ScanGaugeII mounts easily to your dash.

Gauges include:

  • Horsepower
  • Fuel Consumption Rate to 1/100th per gallon/liter
  • Vehicle speed (MPH)
  • Fuel Economy
  • Cost Per Mile/Cost Per Trip
  • Manifold Pressure (not available on some vehicles)
  • Battery Voltage
  • Engine Load
  • Coolant Temperature
  • Throttle Position
  • Intake Air Temperature
  • Ignition Timing
  • Engine Speed (RPM)
  • O2 Sensor Data
  • Fuel Trim
  • Hybrid Battery Charge (for Toyota Prius and Ford Escape)
  • And many more, depending on your vehicle's sensor design

ScanGaugeII makes diagnostics easy.
View Larger
Scan Tool
The ScanGaugeII includes a diagnostic scan tool that can check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), clear the codes, and turn off the "Check Engine" light on 99% of 1996 and newer vehicles. (However, this feature may not work on some trouble codes in Dodge vehicles.) If any DTCs are found, the ScanGauge will show how many there are as well as the codes themselves. Then you can use the Internet or repair manual to find out which is the failed part is, so you can repair it yourself or know what needs to be fixed at the mechanic's shop.

Multifunction Trip Computer
Four sets of data are automatically recorded on the trip computer: Current, Today, Previous Day, and Tank Trip. The "current" trip restarts after the engine has been off for more than 3 minutes. The "today" trip restarts after the vehicle has not moved for 9 hours, and the data from "today" is moved to "previous day" when you restart the car, so you don't have to reset the computer every time you begin a trip. "Tank trip" resets when you fill up the tank. It can provide you with "to empty" data and other useful information, which can be viewed any time during the trip. The trip computer also integrates information from the Cost Per Mile gauge. Simply enter how much you paid per gallon or liter of fuel, and the ScanGauge will automatically calculate the cost of your trips as you drive. The ScanGaugeII features 12 individually stored parameters, including:


ScanGaugeII features 63 backlit colors.

  • Maximum Speed

No Customer Service
I have owned my ScanGauge II for almost a year now and overall it has functioned pretty much as advertised. I say "almost" because it had an initial problem with communicating with any vehicle I tried to scan. I sent an email to the company and received a reply within hours asking for an address they should ship the replacement to. They apparently had a bad batch and were very responsive in correcting the problem. The replacement has worked well, until recently. It has developed a problem with the average MPG and at times the display will indicate "9999". I have also found that it will not communicate with another vehicle I own. As bad as these problems are, they are not the big problem I have run into. The support for these devices has apparently gone away. I have been attempting to contact the company for 3 weeks now and have received no response whatsoever. It is really disappointing to see a company that has a reasonably good product feel that it does not need to provide customer service. A year ago I would have recommended this device to anyone that asked. Today I would recommend that you stay clear of ANY product from Linear-Logic.


Improved my fuel economy
It has been 5 weeks since I installed and used the ScanGauge on my 2001 Diesel VW New Beattle. The install was a simple as the instructions and others online indicated. Placed the unit up onto of my dashboard and cover it with a towel during the summer heat. This helps with the adhesive.

Following the instructions I fine tuned calibrated the unit using my GPS indicated speed to adjust to the tire size, not off enough to worry about. I also adjust the fuel used by refilling from the same pump each time and allowing the nozzle to simply shut off and not pump more. That has been a significant change in the accuracy of the unit as it was off nearly 20% in overestimating my fuel use. After three refills the unit seems more on the mark with my actual fuel use.

While using the unit I initally tried the X gauge however the instant fuel used was not as useful as when I simply starting using only the calculated MPG per trip. This now has helped me to realize at least a 10MPG per trip improvement as I manually shift at the more appropriate times and smile quite large when after driving to or from work and see a typical 50+MPG for the trip when previous to the gauge I would often fill up to 35 MPG per tank.

For a gadget geek this is nearly what I wanted, would be nice if the unit allowed the X gauge to reflect trip MPG however using the trip mpg is all I REALLY need.


A Happy User
My brother asked me to buy him the ScanGauge II for his birthday. This is his review:

"ScanGauge is helping me get 4-5 MPG better than I was. It is training me to drive more fuel efficiently. In my daily commute to work, about 45 miles, I've increased my MPG from about 20 MPG to 24-25 MPG.
I've found that maintaining a steady speed is the main way to higher MPGs. Also, coasting where possible really runs up the MPGs. It's the immediate real time feedback it gives that puts you in control. It's fun to drive to work to see how high I can get the MPGs to go...Thanks, A Happy User.


great little tool
pros:
1) mpg readings
2) trip and tank figures
3) compact and portable design
4) four user defined readings in gauge mode
5) obdii readings

cons:
1) hard to read in the sun
2) cable is really thick
3) questionable build quality
4) auto-start doesnt start right away when you start your car

Features are meaningless if you dont use them or if you dont know how to use them. ScanguageII could be used for multiple purposes. If you do not understand how your car works, i suggest you learn first.

What i use it for is for fuel consumption. Like many people who uses it, they monitor their mpg. With the other readings such as Throttle position and Engine load, you can refine and optimize your driving technique by observing how your driving habits affect the multiple variables that ultimately affect mpg. You can also use it to evaluate how the driving environment affects your vehicles performance. For those who use it for mpg. i suggest you follow the directions on calibrating your gas tank: Use the same gas station. After calibration, the scanguage told me my mpg was 33.4, manual calculation was 33.1. so it was pretty accurate. Its never gonna be perfect as there are so many variables that affects mpg calculation, including your tank shape and piping.

I wish the cable was a bit thinner so its easier to route, since most port for the OBDII are under the steering columns, the easier the routing the lower chance the lower the chance the cable will affect the pedals. The build quality could be improved too, the buttons and the housing feels like a hobby or two bit operation, not something that was manufactured with care. I also wish the auto start would turn the device on when the car starts, no 2-3 seconds after the car starts.


plug-N-see
It does what it says, very easy to hook up, adjust, and see. even my wife likes it, and does not like any of my toys. It would make a great Xmas present.

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

Under the Hood
Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor loaded with 10 MB of embedded DRAM, 48-way parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines and Unified shader architecture. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format.

The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage, users can choose between the detachable and upgradeable 20GB hard drive, or a separately sold 64MB flash Memory Unit. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library.

Control your Gameplay
Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.

Xbox 360 can manage your games, your online friends, and your personal digital library

The Media Experience
All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library.

Go Live
A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to Xbox Live. The Xbox Live Silver Membership included with the console lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. You can also update to a Xbox Live Gold Membership at anytime for even more benefits. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

IT'S GOOD
THE XBOX 360 20GB IS GOOD PRODUCT BECAUSE IT ALLOWS U TO PLAY GAMES UP TO 1080P (FULL HD)LIKE THE PS3. ITS WORTH PAYING 50 A YEAR 4 XBOX LIVE BECAUSE IT DONT LAG AS LONG UR CONNECT IS OK. THIS PRODUCT ENABLES U 2 USE A HDMI CABLE MAKING IT EASIER THEN HAVING ALLL OF THOSE OTHER COLORED CABLES. I RECOMMEND GETTING A INTERCOOLER BECAUSE IF PLAY THIS FOR 2 LONG IT GETS VERY HOT AND THE CHANCES OF GETTING THE RED RINGS GO UP.


Inferior quality.
I bought the xbox 360 I guess during 2005, lasted about 2 years maybe a little more, before the famous four rings of death ocurred to me, the console got busted, sent it for repair, for free, and got a replacement console, not my original one.

It has been a little over a year after getting the replacement unit, now it is busted again, different problem, now it will cost me about 100 dlls to fix it. After looking for the symptoms in the xbox forum, it seems to be, again, a wide spread common problem, a lot of people have the same problem.

The conclusion is that the average life of the console, before going dead is about one and a half years, then you'll have to send it for a fix. Very poor quality for a [...] dlls machine, buy a playstation 3 if you are starting your game collection, I am kind of stuck with xbox, I have over 30 games for it.

Regards.


New chipset [Falcon], Quitest DVD drive [BenQ], No RRoD
Great product. I was wary of the contents of the package in terms of chipset and DVD drive, but after ordering about a month ago, I've discovered that this 360 totes the Falcon chipset and a BenQ [quiet] DVD drive. You can't really go wrong with this package. Buy it. Everything worked out of the box for me and I have yet to have any problems with it.


xbox360 purchase
Im very pleased with this purchase. I bought the console, extra controller and a game; amazon shipped it to me incredibly fast. I ordered 3day shipping and they upgraded my shipping for free and it got here a day early. Everything was as described, brand new and factory sealed. Im very pleased with amzon and will be a reeturning costomer.


XBOX360 THE BEST!
I had them all I still have my original ps1 I still have the nintendo 64 the ps2, the 1st xbox ,the Dreamcast I Xbox 360 Console Includes 20GB Hard Driveeven still have the sega Genesis. I am a life time gamer my first console was the atari!! And theres nothing in this world better thn my Xbox360 this is the best console ever! The only problem is that it may give you the red ring of death but Xbox has extended the warranty on the machine so I am good. The 360 got the Ps3 for over 150 extra tittles that Ps3 doesn't have the only advantage in the Ps3 is the blue ray tech. I am buying a Ps3 only for that Blue ray fact. any blue ray Dvd player is over 0 when I can get the Ps3 for 0. Not bad.

System
With Nintendo DS Lite, dual screens and touch-screen technology allow you to interact with games like never before. Wireless communication allows you to experience real-time multiplayer gameplay, and the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service allows you to compete against players from around the globe.

Dual Screens:
Two incredibly bright LCD screens offer one of the most groundbreaking gameplay advances ever developed. Each 3-inch screen can reproduce a true 3D view, with impressive 3D renderings that can surpass images displayed on the Nintendo 64.

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection:
Ready to take on the world? Now, with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you can connect wirelessly, chat and play with Nintendo DS owners across the globe. All you need to play is a Nintendo DS and a Wi-Fi-ready game. There are no subscription fees -- the service is free!

Touch Screen Technology:
The lower screen offers something never before provided by any dedicated game device: touch-screen capabilities. You no longer have to rely on just buttons to move your character or shift perspectives. Navigate menus or access inventory items simply by touching the screen with a stylus or fingertip. The possibilities are limited only by developers' imaginations. The touch screen features a tougher film cover for durability, and the included stylus is stored in the back of the unit.

Microphone Port:
A built-in microphone port means that with Nintendo DS, you only need to tell your games what to do. The Nintendo DS microphone gives you even more ways to interact with your favorite games.

Wireless Network:
With Nintendo DS Lite, you can connect with a local wireless network of up to 16 players. The wireless range can be an incredible 30 to 100 feet and for some games, multiplayer requires just one Nintendo DS game card.

Note: Nintendo DS Lite wireless communication, including PictoChat, is not private and is not monitored by Nintendo. We recommend that you never reveal any personal information or arrange to meet a stranger.

Rich Stereo Sound:
Nintendo DS Lite sound capabilities allow for greatly expanded use of voices and music, and a richer, more immersive game experience. Stereo speakers allow for virtual surround sound and a plug for headphones transmits stereo sound.

Backward Compatibility:
Nintendo DS Lite features a separate media port for Game Boy Advance cartridges, allowing you to play all your favorite Game Boy Advance games in single-player mode.

If you're over 28, this one is your choice
I just can't say enougth good things about this little device, I did buy mine I few weeks ago because a Wanted a portable guitar hero, so I went to store and got the bundle pack, well i almost don't play guitar hero Anymore but, Can't stop playin the New Mario, Mario Kart, Star fox and Call of Duty, gameplay is just amazing, the touchscreen is great (its not an Iphone but comes close in response...), games are so aforable and the tittle list is endless, I did grow up with nintendo, love it i rather have fun with simplest graphic than spend hours figuring out how to make a caracter moove fowar


Get it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (By the way I'm not a kid)
The ds lite is a big improvement from the old ds. The screens are very bright, even brighter than the the psp's screen. The ds plays GBA games too. When you play racing games like mario kart, you can see a top view of the track on the bottom screen, it also has stereo sound. You can also surf the internet if you get a browser(you can buy one from amazon). Now the built in features are a clock, alarm clock, a calender, ds download play(which alows you to download ds games or movies and even games that aren't out yet at a hotspot like wal-mart and gamestop), and race your friends or even download a demo of your friend's game on to your ds! Another built in feature is picto-chat. Picto-chat allows you to chat with your friends up to 75ft. away(my friend and I did 200ft. away). The last thing is the settings. You can set which screen you want to play your GBA games on, set which color you want, and you can put in your name too. There's also a great Wi-Fi feature that on some games allows you to play with people across the world! The ds lite is a great choice for a game system.


GRANDSON LOVES IT
I got this for my grandson who lives in Japan. I was very pleased that they were able to send to an FPO address and so very promptly as well. Very pleased with service and my grandson is very happy about his DS game that came with the DS unit.


Nice console
My daughter love this gameboy console, the games are nice, the console is very good she has 3 years of having it and she has drop it a lot of times and it works just perfect.


Unfortunate
I purchased the Nintendo DS Lite Crimson/Black for my son. It was a second-hand game. Unfortunately when it arrived, it did not work properly. The game has two screens, both of which are necessary to use the game. One screen was blank with half the screen grey and half white. The other screen was not clear with a very "fuzzy" image.

On the plus side when we contacted Amazon for a return, there was no problem. We were sent a return authorization and label electronically and promptly mailed the defective machine back. The cost was promptly refunded.

Faulty Pass Defense destorys a franchise
I am a longtime fan of the EA college football series. I played since the first one back on PS2. It was one of my favorite games and I've probably been through 30 years of dynasties. I was even painted up for a cameo in NCAA 07. That said, the current incarnation makes me sick to my stomach. The pass defense is beyond terrible. The defense never really does anything. They just stand there. That means that even the second string QB from 1AA Nowhere can have a 90% completion percentage on you. I improved the Virginia Tech defense over the course of three seasons to an overall rating of 99 and it didn't matter. A mediocre Cal team still carved me up for 400 passing yards and 40-some points. The game does look pretty and my beloved recruiting system is better than ever, but that doesn't overcome the helpless feeling I have everytime I'm on defense. I'd be better off going and making myself a sandwich until my offense is back on the field. Of course, when that does happen, I have to be careful, because every cpu pass defender plays like an all-american with the world's softest hands. I feel betrayed by EA. They've so monopolized the industry that they don't have to put out a quality product any more. Instead of spending all that money on those pathetic comercials, maybe they should put more money into their games.


Better Gameplay - some of the same flaws as 08
First, let me say I've played this games since 02. Here are some points I have not seen mentioned which are minor glitches, yet they appear every year it seems.
1. The Drive Summary is always wrong (yardage amount)
2. The Offensive Line Blocks Terrible - Your 95 OT will get beat about 5 times by a 80 DE.
3. The amount of Pick 6's are ridiculously high
4. I don't see much improvement in recruting this year. They cleaned it up, yet it is much the same as 08, as such it is a bit to tedious.

New-Good
1. The animations seems more polished and better looking.
2. Tell me why the Championship game cannot even put your Logo in the endzone???
3. The Computer is somewhat smarter on the Heisman Level
4. It is still the same game as (08) with a little better graphics and interface ... yet not that much different.


The best NCAA yet!
The title says it all, 09 has BY FAR less glitches than previous years. Gone are the goofy "block an extra point or field goal about every single time" and "defender intercepts ball with his back turned" glitches. Graphics look better and the stadiums look like the real deal. Touchdown celebration control and creating your own stadium sounds/music adds some extra fun as well. Animations are better and everything is more realistic.

One huge thing I do miss though in 09 is the screen shake at tough stadiums, which is gone, and I miss the Louisville Cardinals no longer being ranked and no longer being one of the toughest stadiums. We had one bad year...c'mon! :(


A monster disappointment
This is what happens when lack of competition meets overextension: EA Sports has so many games it no longer cares about their quality, and it has competition in so few areas that it doesn't need to.

While NCAA 09 can be fun at times, it is so full of obvious bugs and strategy flaws that I would be surprised if it actually went through a QA process and was changed at all. If you look on pretty much any 360-related forum, you'll find a huge list. Here's an example of what you'll see:

-- The clock doesn't always run during a kickoff return. That's kind of a big deal when there isn't much time left.
-- If you press a button at the wrong time after an extra point, you'll actually end up selecting your kickoff or return formation and you won't know what you picked.
-- Receivers can run out of bounds for any length of time, come back in and catch the ball without penalty.
-- Yardage announced over the stadium PA rarely matches the pop-up box and in-game stats.
-- When a penalty occurs on a kickoff return, the pop-up box for the returner and the Super Sim window both show a large negative number as the "result" of the return.
-- The referee points in a seemingly random direction when announcing a penalty and does not announce the uniform number of the offending player.
-- You cannot change the camera angle during play, even though there are obviously multiple cameras available (you can save replays from different angles and the camera in Legend Mode is not the same as the camera in other modes).
-- You cannot change your playbook.
-- You can no longer select I-AA teams or swap them with existing I-A teams (sorry, I don't play the FBS semantics game).
-- In Legend Mode, the camera is located somewhere behind you and always stays there, so when the action comes straight toward you, the camera does a 180, effectively taking you out of the play.
-- In Legend Mode, the AI will always return punts for you, even if the ball is kicked 8-9 yards deep in the end zone.
-- Slants, outs, hooks, and other short routes are very difficult to complete: if there is a computer-controller defender nearby, he will jump the route and pick off the pass, unless you are on defense, in which case he will stare in amazement at the ball.
-- Animations frequently kick in regardless of where the players were at the time of the event: for example, you can be a DE who gets around an offensive lineman, but if the game decides it's time for a blocking-engaged animation, he'll lock you up again, even though he wasn't even facing you.

There are other significant bugs I have not yet seen myself, like being able to throw the ball when you are well past the line of scrimmage, or seeing the scoring team keep the ball if they hit the upright on an extra point and a defender catches it.

Somewhere in all of that, there's an excellent game waiting to be saved, but frankly, I've spent too much time trying to find it. I wish I hadn't purchased this game, and I won't be buying any more EA Sports games until someone else shows me that they care about quality again.


Good Football Game
A fun game with lots of features. The online dynasty is great considering I have friends who live out of state.

Great Console, Great Media Hub, Great BD Player
The Sony PS3 (in any configuration) is a great value. The AAA games are really starting to come out now, and it can't be beat as the most future proof Blu-ray player on the market. Firmware updates from Sony ensure that it will keep abreast of all Blu-ray updates. Online game service is free and very capable. And it can be used in conjunction with your PC to stream music, pictures, and video to your tv. As I said at the beginning, a great value all around.


best blu ray and game player for its price
what more can i say.......i bought this all because of positive reviews all over the media.


Great deal
I was thrilled with my Playstation. The price what outstanding as was the service. It arrived (via free shipping) when it was supposed to and was in great condition. So glad I ordered.


a good buy
well i don't really need to write how amazing this thing is but, all i really cared about was getting it. My package came all perfect and sexy like. the UPS guys really took care of my baby and it's still kicking butt.
I plan on upgrading it so i didn't really care about all the sweet features the other ps3 models had. I'm just happy with what i got.
Oh go out and buy used games... you'll save a fortune.
:D


Well...I don't hate it.
I've had my ps3 for about a month now and so far I've enjoyed playing it. Graphically it's great and the overall performance of the system is good. But I did get annoyed at the fact that it takes forever just to get to play a new game. After inserting say Metal Gear Solid 4 I had to wait while the game downloaded so literally while it was it was doing that I switched over and played on my 360. My only other thought would be that the online play isn't as great but not as bad as I'd expected I just don't find it as user friendly as Xbox live oh and I don't like the fact that it doesn't come ready with a head set. I would recommend this system for gamers who aren't as interested as gaming online as it is a strong system but I'll be using mine for offline gaming ;)
