As an amateur guitar player and vocalist, I must say that I have had more fun and received so much enjoyment from this device.  I have barely tapped into the potential of this thing, but it is so much fun it makes you want to practice and keep playing.  Word of advice - Update the firmware right out of the box using the free software on the TC-Helicon website.  Highly recommend!

LOVE IT!  This quad might be "little" compared to many other units, but I feel it packs quite the punch in the fun factor.  This is my second quad (first being an Estes syncro) so I wasn't out of my league, but advanced mode shows me I still have a ways to go to perfect my skill - and this unit in standard mode will be perfect for that.

Really enjoying this upgrade (at least for me it is).  Better screen & graphics.  Faster.  Easier in most respects.

We received this in great time shortly after Christmas and I put it together in about an hour and a half with my 25 year old son.  You will almost certainly require two people to assemble this.  It was a bit of a project for the two of us but, fortunately, all pieces were there, including the 2 little wrenches to tighten the bolts and nuts.  Additionally, you will need a smaller Phillips head screwdriver to drive in the wood screws for the timer/scoreboard.  We pre-drilled holes for these, making the task much easier, but the instructions did not tell you to do this.  Many of the pieces of steel tubing simply snap together for easy assembly and so that it can more easily be moved and stored.

The instructions were pretty clear and easy to follow with drawings labeled with part numbers.  Most of the parts had small stickers to identify them although a couple did not. My problem was that the steel tubing in the front main support was over bent and causes the entire thing to lean, though it does not appear to effect performance.

When I ordered this, I didn't realize how HUGE it is.  My oversight, as it needs to be the size it is to be fun and competitive.  Just be forewarned and have a space that is tall enough and free of breakables (light fixtures, nicknacks, pictures, etc.) as the balls will inevitably be thrown beyond it's backboard and nets.

This game is fun for all ages, is challenging, and gets you moving in spite of it's simple, easy appearance.  My son discovered that there are special bonuses for getting points within a certain time period beside the stated "3 points for shots in the last 10 seconds".  He hit scores over 80 a couple times due to these bonuses.  It is fast and fun to challenge yourself alone or with another competitor playing beside you.  This is why I caution you to have a large, clear space for it.  The play can get frenzied!

I had it rated at 5 stars but subtracted one for the bent tubing.  It was not shipping damage but simply manufactured incorrectly and missed by quality control.

I feel that, if you have the room to dedicate to it, this is a great investment for your family's fun.  Kids will love an opportunity to play and develop their free throw skills even when the weather is bad outside. I'm quite certain that adults will enjoy it too.  I do, and I'm a grandma!

It has a 90 day limited warranty from the manufacturer, Escalade Sports, on materials and workmanship.  Having had it only one week, I can't comment on it's durability.  I will update my review if I have anything to add.

11-18-2015-  Having had this about a year now and have had no problems with it.  Being at Grandma's house, it doesn't get the constant play that it would at a child's home but it's been enjoyed by young and old.  Looking forward to some tournaments over the upcoming holidays!

8-1-16- My grandchildren were up for a few days recently and enjoyed playing both alone and against each other.  They are 13 and 15 and active in numerous sports.  Their 2 1/2 year old little sister mostly just enjoyed the balls, but I know she'll be shooting as soon as she's able.  Now I can report that my game has been enjoyed by most all ages, from 2 to 92 (my Mom got a few shots in, ha!).

It is worth the upgrade because the new features are worth their weight in gold. This version is considerably more stable.

Very nice PC, easy to upgrade. I purchased  around April and 0 problems, I would upgrade the keyboard and mouse and graphic card but the built in graphics are fine. The keyboard is starting to stick keys but I use it to game so I'm not complaining, mainly me pounding keys.  So, I'm very satisfied.

After suffering through another failure of a popular mainstream desktop (You know, that place in Austin!) I decided it was time to try something different. I searched through Amazon for a variety of PCs, but I wanted something that was easy to modify and upgrade. After reading the majority of reviews on the Cybertron GM4213A, I decided to take the plunge.  The unit arrived well packed with all the hardware necessary to upgrade the system, .ie., hard drive rails, screws, and cd-roms. When was the last time you received a cd-rom with your computer purchase?! I installed a hard drive, Blueray burner, upgraded hard-drive, and beefed-up power supply.  It was a refreshing change to work with a computer that was designed for easy upgrades. Lots of room to work in the case. I found the processing power of the cpu to more than adequate for my needs. My work on the computer consists mostly of radio signal acquisition and image processing.  The only criticism I have is that the cooling fans do run a bit loud, but I'd rather deal with fan noise than heat.  All in all, a great value for the money.

This is a really easy install to upgrade your PS3 if you know 2 things:

1) You will need a #0 Philips head screwdriver.
2) Download the latest update (in my case 2.60) from the Playstation website to a disc or flash drive.

It is extremely easy to strip the screws with the wrong size screwdriver (guess how I know...)

Apparently there is also a difference in some 40G systems from all the data you first run into on the web about changing hard dives. It is not as simple as swapping out and then hitting the X-button to format. Mine asked for the update media to be inserted first, then hit select and start to proceed. It then proceeded fine, finishing in about 20 minutes. Not difficult, but it might save you some stress to know that it may be a little different from the instructions you usually see on the net.

Otherwise, it works great, and I highly recommend the simple upgrade.

Up until now I have only had cheaper R\C flying machines(50.00 or less).  After my $30.00 Syma quadcopter had a motor fail on it recently, I decided to make a huge upgrade to this DJI Phantom.  I spent a lot of time reading reviews of various models, and finally came to the conclusion that this would be the one, based on price, performance, functionality, toughness, and how much fun it would be.  The main two quads I boiled the decision down to, were the DJI Phantom FC40 and the normal DJI Phantom.  For those of you looking and new to this whole quad thing, the reason I choose this model over the FC40 was the frequencies used. The normal Phantom here, uses 2.4ghz for controlling the aircraft, leaving 5.8ghz for later, making it much easier to add on a superior First Person View(FPV) system later. The FC40 seems to have swapped the frequencies for controlling the aircraft and sending video back for the FPV system, which will make upgrading the built in FPV system more difficult later.

As for this specific package deal from KOOZAM, I couldn't find a better deal anywhere else.  It includes everything as they state,  What was also included but not clear the description was the actual GoPro mount which attaches to the carbon fiber anti-vibration mount.  Having the prop guards included was also very nice, and a must have for the Phantom, if for no other reason than it tends to want to tip forward or backwards on landing depending on wind conditions.

The battery takes about 1.5 hours to charge with the included charger, and so far with breezy conditions I get about 11-12 minutes of flight time.  The unit comes just about ready to fly, had to screw on the landing gear(8 screws), attach the gps cable to the landing gear(plug it in), tape the antennas to the landing gear, attach the prop guards(remove 8 screws, and then attach with 8 longer screws that are included), attach the propellers(look for a video online showing which ones go where, the instructions don't make any sense as they weren't written with self tightening propellers in mind), and install batteries in the transmitter.

And as many other reviewers have stated, take the time to make sure you understand all the LED codes before you take off.  The extra time on the ground will prevent you from seeing your 500.00 machine fly off into the sunset. And speaking of the LED codes, for those of you who are red green colorblind like myself, this unit may be a little tricky depending on how severe your colorblindness is. Of course the difference between having a solid GPS signal and not having one, is indicated with green and red led flashes.  That means if you can't tell the difference, if you lose connection between the transmitter and receiver, it may not fly back home, so it's something to consider.  Also just as others have stated, watch lots of videos as the instruction manual included leaves a lot to be desired(download the manual from the DJI website, it seems more helpful).

As for how it flys, let me just say, AMAZING!  If you have had the less expensive quads like a Syma X1, there is absolutely no comparison in the flight characteristics.  Even if you have never flown an R\C anything, within a few minutes of flying, you will feel completely in control thanks to the GPS mode.  I brought this into work the day after it arrived, and everyone who saw it flying couldn't believe how stable this thing is(flying in about 15 MPH winds), and I heard a bunch of "I want one now!"  You can't go wrong with this unit, and I'm very happy I bought this.

I've had it for about 6 months and love it. Couldn't beat the price and it was quite the upgrade.

Bought this for my son for a gift and he is COMPLETELY STOKED about this device.  He is having a lot of fun with it and is very much enjoying the new technology in this game device.

I've had this little box for about 4 months now, and I'm really impressed with its performance, after a few tweaks.

Firstly, I upgraded the HDD to a 500GB Samsung Evo SSD. That should be the first upgrade you do with this little box, because it goes from "Meh" to "Wow!" really fast with just this single upgrade.

Secondly, I threw in 16GB of RAM, because the 2x8GB kit was only marginally more expensive than the 2x4GB kit. Really, 8GB is probably perfectly fine for this little box.

And lastly, I put Windows 10 on the box. SteamOS is fine, and I love GNU/Linux, but there are a few games (Elderscrolls games) that I need Windows for, so there you have it.

It took a little while, but I adjusted to the Steam Controller, and now I can't play a game without it. It does take some time to get a feel for it, and more often than not I need to tweak the controller for each game, but that's part of what makes it great.

This little machine is super easy to take apart and upgrade all the components, as well as clean the fans and heatsinks. It's also super small and fits really nicely in my entertainment stand. It does get a little loud when running at 100% utilization, but generally the sound-bar drowns out the fans.

Unigine Valley benchmark I get an 844 on Extreme HD settings. Skyrim Special Edition sits between 35fps and 55fps Maxed out. But I downloaded MSI Afterburner and overclocked the GPU by 135mhz and the RAM by 400mhz. Temps only rose slightly, but I saw a 14% performance boost and hit 954 on Unigine Valley benchmarks.

Short and sweet version:
Upgrade to an SSD, 8GB of RAM, and if you throw windows on there use MSI Afterburner to overclock the GPU. It's a great little box that holds its own against the Xbox One and PS4 while still retaining a huge library of games because it's a PC.

Lots and lots of fun. I've had some hard crashes and this thing is still like brand new. It's taken a few days to get used to the finicky controls but now I can move this thing about the house like a pro. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration but I'm pretty good.
The battery lasts about 10 minutes per charge, longer in the begging because you're crashing more than flying. I could see this being a good way to get boys, and girls too I guess, more interested in physics.
BTW, this says that it's an indoor/outdoor toy but the slightest wind will cause you to lose control of the thing. Even the air conditioning affects how it flys.
It comes with a usb cable so you can charge it up right from your computer instead of using the batteries in the controller to charge it.

A good upgrade for the price.  Noticeably better than stock
