Lower your expectations

Meh...  Nothing Earth-shattering here.  Maybe it helped a little, but it's not worthy of the gushing reviews.  The animation is a bit cheap, music a bit annoying, and there is no real method, just repetition of steps.  It's fine, but we know a few others who've tried it, and we all felt the same...  Meh.

I guess when a child finally quits diapers, you attribute it to whatever method you were trying at the time, rather than the child's development. That's why I give the "bottomless chocolate milk party" five stars!!!

If your expecting any kind of a decent game say gt5, supercar challenge, psns ferrari the race experience, um really any decent game, shift or 2, ull be really disappointed. So lookin forward to it preordered months in advance played for 5 mins n turned it off. I'll give it another chance when I'm not furious but this is in all aspects a brutal effort

When this device was announced I was excited. I thought, I love my vita, and having one connected to the TV will surely be awesome. I was let down. First disappointment, no up-scaling for 1080p coverage, not a deal breaker but a bit disappointing, especially for the ps4 streaming option. second disappointment, wifi sucks for ps4 streaming. third and ultimate disappointment, ps4 streaming still sucks even when wired over gigabit connection. My vita seems to function fine with the wireless ps4 connection, but the vita feels wrong for playing ps4 games so where this device should have provided a better experience to my desire to connect it in another room it dropped the ball. I will go as far as to say sony should have quit production and this should never have seen the light of day, at least not in its current state.

Mildly interesting films from very poor quality prints.  Lower your expectations and you might enjoy these.  Echo Bridge Home Entertainment (ebhe.com) has them cheaper than Amazon.

Not what I expected. The phrases are too long AND the volume is so low you need to put it close to you in order to hear it.

Perhaps my expectations were way,way to high. But these Bose speakers, although cheap, did not come close to my  expectations. I am certainly not an advanced speaker guy, but these were not worthy of the Bose name. I'm not sure why they offer them. To fill a low price point? Better left unfilled. I used their 30 day return goods program. Later bought a set of Harmon Kardon SoundSticks. Better sound, at 40% less, than Bose's next step up.

Severe disappointment.  Less than half the intensity I expected.  They might be good for some applications.  But,  I won't be trusting the rear end of my car with these.

I had low expectations, but wow! The limited action doesn't make up for the story line that makes this a snooze fest.

Ok, it's a clever trick - you don't realize how much a/c noise or whatever is around until these cancels it, and it's quite astonishing when it goes away.  Woo-hoo, pass them around your friends.

But...  They don't actually /sound/ any good.  Loud bass, which pleases the crowds, but musically they're just downright bad.  Next to any half-way decent headphones they produce muffled, lifeless music.  Listen to the strumming of a guitar and it's just tones with none of the rich acoustic texture.

And also, they don't cut out a lot of the distractions you might hope to lose, like conversations etc..  They just reduce the fatigue of background noise.  If you spend a lot of time on airplanes, don't care much about music and don't care to travel light, perhaps they're a reasonable idea.

If they sounded good they'd have 5 stars from me, but they don't, and they're very expensive.

Background noise reduction 9/10, distraction reduction 4/10, musical quality 2/10...

I'll be sticking with my Etymotic HF5 headphones and sending these back even though they were given to me for free by my employer.  One third the price, small and neat, and for better or worse they act like earplugs - they cut out the background noise *and* conversations leaving only the music, reproduced in a lyrical, textured, detailed way.

This was on sale for $99 on Black Friday so I thought it would be an OK, cheap option for the kids. I had low expectations for $99 (I dislike reviews where people clearly didn't understand what they were paying for), but even at that I still feel let down. On the plus side, it has a USB port and an SD card slot for importing files.

BUT...

You can't download typical apps. Forget Angry Birds. Forget YouTube. You have to use the Facebook mobile site. YouTube's webpage wouldn't load. I was able to get Gmail, but that's not exactly something I'd pay $99 for. We thought we might upgrade to Android 2.2 but the hardware under the hood still prevented the aforementioned issues. While I expected no Android Market, the Cruz Market was awful. So not much in the game department. We then got the idea that it might be a good media player- I loaded the regular SD card on, connected the USB to my computer to transfer MP3 files, and the thing then promptly crashed.

Now here's the thing: If you are going to be a paperweight that lights up, at least light up. So we had to re-set the thing and *maybe* it will be an OK media player with the SD card I supplied. Please bear in mind that we didn't just open this on Christmas, we've been tinkering with the thing since Black Friday so it would be ready out of the Box after Santa visited.  But time is money, and the low cost is cancelled out by the time suck to get the thing to be a hundred bucks wroth of useful at something. We then bought&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Coby-Kyros-7-Inch-Android-2-3-4-GB-Internet-Tablet-with-Capacitive-Touchscreen-MID7022-4G-Black/dp/B005C08UP0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Coby Kyros 7-Inch Android 2.3 4 GB Internet Tablet with Capacitive Touchscreen - MID7022-4G (Black)</a>&nbsp;and they were a superior option for the time/money.

It is an OK eReader or mobile web browser and that's about it. If that's your thing, it is more than a 2. However, if you want some typical games for the kids so they'll leave your iPad or Galaxy alone, it is lacking.

Expect mediocrity for an off brand television and you will not be disappointed.  The picture quality is barely average and the sound is terrible.  I should have ordered a TV without the DVD player which, as an afterthought is kind of silly anyway.

I had high hopes, despite hearing bad things. My fandom got the better of my money. The game looks fine, it's not great, but it's not awful. You use L1/R1 buttons to pivot your character, which is unnecessary and slow. Supposedly you can aim your beam weapon, I can't get it to work. Grabbing buildings/monsters is hit or miss (mostly miss), attacking is more thoughtless than a Musou/Warriors game with long recovery animations and no blocking. Don't think you'll get a fair fight. You trade attacks and pray the opponent doesn't get on a roll since there's no defense. Don't do it. The upgrade system is obtuse and unwieldy, character unlocks are random, gameplay isn't fun. Repetitive can still be fun, this is the extreme opposite.

First of all, these probably would have gotten a 4 star rating.  Unfortunately, due to the packaging and lack of foresight (or just wanting to make an extra buck), these barely rate a 2.  I'm going to be helpful to anyone else buying this sight.  First of all, when you open the packaging, get out a small knife or razor when removing all the parts from the overkill plastic/paper package. Cut away each area around the light pipes slowly and you may get them out without losing them. Otherwise, when you (slowly) peel away the back paper from the front paper/plastic bubble area, all the light pipe will go flying in different directions. There's no way to remove the front from the back without curving the plastic area and having all the light pipes shooting out.  Maybe if you worked turtle slow, but I was shocked at how fast they disappeared once I started peeling back the back board.  In other words - their packaging sucks. So, I have 1 light pipe left.  Perhaps in time I will find the other ones.  It they gather light as well as they say, I will spot them immediately. Nope, spent 10 minutes with a I found a green one.  That makes 2 left.  Yippee.  Now, to install the actual sight... Went on easy.  I blue loctited the screw.  Odd that my standard Glock sight tool wasn't quite right for this part, but the hex head is VERY thin, so I had to modify another tool to gently tighten it. Hmm.  So there's not way that they could toss in a cheap plastic tube style hex driver?  Really.  If the people that engineering the packaging on this also engineered the sight - Whoa.  Wait, let me first check the sight.  All the lights on in the garage - check.  Windows shades open - check.  OK, I can see the sight OK.  Let me try closing the shades - Well, I can almost see the dot (red).  Lets open the shades and kill the lights...  Hmmm.  No dot.  Ok, it is daytime dim in here, and certainly not dark.  Going inside to spend the extra $43 that I should have spent on a set of Tritium front AND back sights.  Goodbye H-Viz part.  Expensive experiment.  Could have ordered a really tasty XL pizza from Speedys for that wasted $25.  Silly me.

Strive to lower your opinion of yourself and know we can get started with this amazing journy to the bottom of the pile.
