per3per3 says "Fun for everyone...even people who "don't like video games"" about Wii - Rock Band

per3per3 — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 04:24:17 GMT

I just want to say that rock band is a fantastic game that you will only have to play once to get hooked. Most of my friends are gamers, but even my girlfriend and her friends that don't play games love rockband. You get the drum set, a guitar, and a mic with the game, and each instrument is a lot of fun to play. You can play with friends, or you can play with the instrument of your choosing and play by yourself. The song list is a lot of fun and fairly diverse, so everyone should find music that they will want to play. It's one of the most interactive games I have ever seen and is a brilliant idea for a game....

per3per3 says "They might be expensive, but they won't dissapoint" about Bose - QuietComfort 2 Consumer Headphones

per3per3 — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 04:19:50 GMT

I purchased the Bose Quiet Comfort 2 headphones a few years ago when I traveled at lot for work, and I have to say that they are well worth the hefty price tag. I hesitated with the purchase, as there are many other decent options out there for much less...but none that sound as good. I used to be on an airplane at least twice a week for work, and these headphones were awesome. The noise cancellation feature is awesome, it cuts the ambient noise on the plane and allows you to concentrate on your music. On top of getting rid of the annoying sounds on the plane, the sound quality of these headphones is fantastic. You will hear new aspects of songs you have listened to many times before...it will amaze you. The leather-wrapped ear cups are very comfortable and allow you to keep them on for hours on end. You can even use the noise cancellation feature without plugging them in, which is a nice feature if you want to go to the library and shut out the ambient noise to concentrate......

per3per3 says "A great way to get through the day and learn more about music" about Pandora Radio

per3per3 — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 04:12:25 GMT

Pandora is an excellent concept and is a website that I use almost every day while @ work. Pandora is an online music service that is free of charge, and basically acts as a personal internet radio station that remembers what you listen to and learns what type of music you'd like based on genres and artists that you frequently listen to or rate highly. I find that Pandora often makes recommendations regarding music that I have never heard but more often than not find myself enjoying. I have never found a more effective tool to broaden my musical horizons than Pandora! If you're looking for a free way to listen to music at work and you're willing to try out some new artists, you just can't beat Pandora!...

per3per3 says "A great monitor for normal use...but not the best for gaming" about Samsung 226BW (Black) LCD Monitor

per3per3 — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 04:07:43 GMT

I purchased the Samsung 226BW LCD Monitor about a year ago, and I had no problems with the unit and think it's a pretty decent monitor. I needed extra space on my desk and needed to get rid of my old, large monitor and decided to buy an lcd monitor. This monitor was recommended to me by a friend so I decided to purchase it. I don't know how much I can really say, it's nice a bright and is perfect for everyday computer use. There are plenty of buttons that allow you to calibrate it to your heart's content, so you can get it to your exact specifications rather easily. The only con I can think of is that the refresh rate could be higher, though this issue is only noticeable when playing high speed games. Though it is supposed to have a 2 ms response rate, I still notice an issue during certain activities. For instance, when I play first person shooters, I can notice some pixelation on the screen during moments where the action is faster-paced and a lot of stuff is moving......

per3per3 says "An unparelled look at our planet...everyone should see this!" about Planet Earth

per3per3 — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:58:37 GMT

I would like to start off by saying that everyone I know has seen the Planet Earth series, and everyone is as amazed as I am! Planet Earth gives us a never-before-seen look at all aspects of our planet, and does so in a way that is truly captivating to all ages. I was not only amazed by the camera-angles and exclusive footage throughout the 11 hours of this series, but the fact that it was done in High Definition (HD) makes it even more special. Though planet earth is a year or so old by now, it is still probably the best HD programming I have ever seen. I can't imagine that any program could be better suited for HD. I would recommend this series to anyone, whether you're looking to learn a few things about our planet or just want some unique entertainment...you won't be dissapointed!

per3per3 says "Big sound in a small package" about Bose - iPod Speaker System

per3per3 — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:51:31 GMT

My roommate purchased the Bose Ipod Speaker System about 3 months ago, and right out of the box I was quite impressed with the quality of the sound. This small device can not only fill a room with sound, but it does so while actually sounding good. The device looks nice as well, so it will look good anywhere you put it. In addition to playing your music, it also charges the ipod which is very convenient. On top of everything else, the included remote is also convenient, as you can control the volume, skip tracks, and shuffle through playlists at the touch of a button. When shopping for ipod stereo systems, we looked at many before purchasing the bose. Though it's on the pricey side, those looking for a high-quality ipod stereo system will be quite pleased with this item....
