stool gets the job done (2009-02-20)
This drum stool is somewhat small. but not too small for my but. The drum stool gets the job done. It isn't the best stool in the world, but for 30$, you get exactly what you pay for. it looks very professional, and i would suggest this to those that don't have a stool to sit on when playing there favorite music game. Definitely check this out on amazon!

Not bad, but far from good (2009-02-17)
Rock Throne Drum Stool

For the price I guess it's not bad... I personally would have saved my money and picked up something better. I'm 5' 11" about 163 (Not a big guy) so I thought it wouldn't be a problem for me since I read about the weight issues. But after using it 2 times and the 2nd time for over 3 hours it pretty much gave up on me.

It tends to close out by itself from time to time, it doesn't seem to have enough padding and the hole from the seat to connect to the base is about 1/4 of a inch wider..so there is tons of play and it only gets worse.

Now...if your looking to get a throne for a child as a starter one this would be it. If you are a mid-advance "gaming" drummer... keep looking.

Good for teenagers or kids (2009-02-13)
I bought this for my children, but I would not trust it with an average adult of 175 or more. I bought a real drum throne for myself, but this one is great for my children.

Not Horrendous for $30 (2009-02-12)
Well, let's just say this. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! For $30 I can't complain too much. I am 6'3" and weigh in at 220 so this is NOT the most comfortable seat I could be sitting on, but at the same time, it could have been a lot worse. I can 't keep seated for more than a 4 song set because things start to get sore and I need to get up and move around. This thing is NOT tall enough for someone my size. As someone said earlier, if you are 5'10" or taller, save your money!

Keeps you up. (2009-02-01)
While this isn't the most sturdy, it serves its purpose. Easy to adjust and comfortable to sit on.

Top notch entertainment (2009-02-25)
I borrowed and beat the original when it came out and sort of forgot about it for awhile. I stumbled upon a copy of The Lost Chapters for $10 and almost didn't get it. I'm definitely glad I did. The extra main quest doesn't take long, but it's very fun and makes this a more complete game. And having extra side-quests and towns to go to makes it totally worth playing.

For those that can't handle the massive open-ended Morrowind or Oblivion, but still want an adventure RPG in a similar style, this game is for you. The graphics are excellent, even though a little cartoonish, but I think their very unique. The music is quite good and the gameplay is fun and challenging. The story is basically your character's life. When he's a boy until an old man, or until the end of the main quest. It's not incredibly interesting with Jack of Blades, who is a bit underdeveloped and very mysterious, and your sister, and mother, but it's decent enough.

We all know the story isn't the main thing here though, it's your character. Your actions and your looks are the big thing with Fable. You get to customize your character throughout the game. Haircuts, tattoos, clothing, you name it. And when you drink too much beer, you get a big gut, and when you kill everyone and steal, you grow horns and are surrounded by flies, and your eyes turn red. When you are good, you have a halo and butterflies surround you, and you have bright blond hair. Even if you are hit a lot, you develop scars. This is a very detailed and open game, and while not as open as others, it's a unique experience and has something to offer to everybody.

Fable the Lost Chapters, a complete fable 1 (2009-01-13)
Fable: The Lost Chapters is a flawless masterpiece and a must have for any RPG/Action Adventure loving xbox owner. A game that in my opinion is better than the new Fable 2 on 360

Great (2009-01-06)
this game has missions in it that are not found in the original game. I recomend this game to anyone who liked doing the missions in the first fable. Some are humorous some are serious but over all a wonderful buy.

Very good service! (2008-12-27)
Thank you so much for the product. I enjoyed it very much, but most of all thanks for the speedy shipment. It is always nice to receive a purchase in a timely fashion. Thanks again!

It was worth getting even though i already had the original version of Fable. (2008-12-23)
i already had the original version of fable, and i was scared to get "the lost chapters". "maybe it won't have all the old goodness" i said. "it won't have enough extra stuff" i said. if you already have fable then you can pass this version over but i strongly suggest trading that one away and picking this one up. i was also afraid they may have cut stuff out. which turned out not to be the case. they left all the goodness in and then added some. MMMMMMMMMMMMM GOODNESS. OR MMMMMMMMMMMMM BADNESS. either way you'll kick some serious butt or whatever they have. well enjoy the game i know i did. -VANRAZIEL

Perfect cable, beautiful picture, better than Monster (2009-01-31)
I bought one of these cables about a year ago to use on my new HDTV. As many people will tell you, the difference between component and composite (RCA) is night and day on an HDTV. This cable improves the quality of original Xbox games quite a bit, and playing games like Black (2006, Criterion) comes pretty damn close to a next-generation experience.

When I needed another cable for the Xbox running XBMC out in the family room, I foolishly bought the Monster Cable Xbox Component Video Cable for $25 during my local Circuit City's store closing. I thought the cable would be better than the Psyclone, because I had actually heard of Monster before, plus I didn't want to wait for this cable to arrive in the mail. Big mistake. The Monster cable actually did damage to my receiver, because the plugs were too snug-fitting, and now we have to run component video through the TV. Anyway, after damaging my receiver, the cable promptly fell apart. So I came to Amazon, ordered the Psyclone again, and was greeted with the same quality I got the first time.

These are great cables, and I will now trust Psyclone over Monster any day.

It's also worth mentioning that this cable will NOT work on an Xbox 360, as others have said. The port on the back of the original Xbox is more rectangular, and the Xbox 360 has a somewhat trapezoidal port. The two ports are not in any way compatible. Anyone who tells you this will work with the 360 is misinformed.

Works great. (2008-12-16)
Cable worked great. Both video and sound are so much better
with the component video and digital audio. Prompt delivery.

Very nice XBOX component cable with optical audio output (2008-11-02)
I needed a component video cable with optical audio ouput for use with an original Microsoft XBOX, and bought this Psyclone cable. Build quality is excellent for this cable assembly. My only gripe about this assembly is that the component video and analog audio cables are permanently attached to the adapter (I prefer removable cables) and are much longer than I require, but I knew this before purchasing and it doesn't effect the functionality of the unit. VERY recommended if you need a component video cable with optical audio output for an original Microsoft XBOX.

Great Cables (2008-10-19)
These cables deliver! If you are a original Xbox owner you definetly want to have these cables. The cables allow you to have a 480p and 720p picture if your TV and Xbox games supports it. It comes with the Dolby Digital attachment similiar to the Monster cable brand. The biggest difference is the price versus the Monster cables, I would argue that these cables are as good in quality versus the monster cables. If you have a HDTV and still play the Xbox, I would recommend these cables.

Great Cables (2008-06-28)
These are really great cables. They were shipped very fast (3 days) and provide exceptional video quality. My brother has the monster cables, and the Psyclone cables are just as good. The cable is nice and long so you can use it far away from the receiver if you need to. A little warning, theses cables connect to the TV kinda tight. it depends on the TV, I tried these at my friends and they were really really tight, but they're fine on my TV. Don't panic, just be patient and wiggle it in carefully. I don't know why someone said these were for the xbox 360. THESE ARE FOR THE ORIGINAL XBOX!!!

The game that brought xbox its glory. Halo Combat Evolved. Ambitious and Exciting. (2009-02-11)
Halo 2 is a great game with quality flare and just about everything imaginable to back it up. There is no true flaw to this game but nothing exactly in the game feels non-stop. Not to say that there isn't moments where you just can't help but scream "I love this game", but there could be more heart pounding scences.

Halo like many FPS's has a pretty bland story and you feel yourself just skipping many story elements for the basic fact that they are too long. The game exceeds any game of it's time but feel as if "we've done this before right?". Halo has many vehicles to choose from, Tanks, Aircrafts and hovercrafts. The one thing though is that there is not a wide array to choose from and the aircraft you see most in the game you cannot even pilot it.

One of the changes from the old game is now you are able to use a sword and believe me many people wanted it in the game. It can be difficult to use it as the sword loses power everytime you attack an object. There is only one sword to choose from which doesn't help the lack of weapons. You do go through many weapons but it can feel all too easy to get caught up using one weapon. In intense levels though you frequently must pick up another weapon to battle the aliens that want to kill you.

A few things in the game are destructible but not enough to feel like that much of an intense firefight. Many of the times instead you will see the marks of a shot in the wall or the blood of you or your enemies, which makes it feel like a warzone after it is all said and done. Many times in the game you have A.I controlled partners who are extremely smart in fact if they see you killing too many of them they will start to fire back at you and eventually kill you if you don't kill them.

The multiplayer easily is the best thing about this game. There are over 10 maps to choose from each with a different scenery from the next and there are a few revamped old school maps. The thing that makes the multiplayer s great is co-op when fighting with a friend against two other friends it feels so real and alive that you burst out with excitement. You can customize just about everything in the level from the weapons it will have on it to the vehicles it will have on it.

More over the game never has that many dull moments although in campaign backtracking can feel wierd and you get lost easily. The game is not a rent it's a buy the game is the best game on the xbox to date and when its sequel comes out for xbox 360 you can bet it will be a hit too.

Halo 2 (2009-02-09)
This game was everything I hoped it would be. The campaign mode was very enjoyable to play all the way through. The story line was an interesting continuation of the first Halo game. I really liked the plot and how I got to play two different characters that opposed each other in the first halo and eventually cross paths. It was a very fun game to play. The multiplayer online and offline game play is also always fun. Good stuff.

halo 2 (2009-02-07)
my son loves this game and it came in perfect condition so i thank you and will be purchasing more from you in the future.

Good, but overrated (2009-01-27)
This is a good game and it is worth the money, but it is not as good as many make it out to be.

Minor tweaks, but the same idea (2008-12-11)
Basically, if you liked Halo, you will like its sequel. Here's a rundown of the new pros and cons:

Pro: You can now use some weapons two at a time, allowing for more raw firepower.
Con: The shield/health system that worked well in Halo has been scrapped for a harder-to-interpret, seemingly easier to defeat system.
Pro: Graphics are better.
Con: The ending is a total gyp (no spoiler here, but if you really want closure you'll have to buy a 360 and play Halo 3).
Pro: More weapons, and improvements on existing ones (the needler especially).
Con: I found a few rare, intermittent glitches, mostly with the Arbiter levels.
Pro: Multiplayer is vastly improved, now with XBox live.
Con: While the levels are more varied, they don't stand out as much as some of the memorable levels from its predecessor.
Pro: The plot is much deeper.

So, all in all, it's more of the same, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. There are some minor improvements, but there are a few things that could have been better. A good buy.

Great Game for Original X-Box (2009-01-29)
This is a really great game. Classic Madden genius and very similar to the previous years. Rosters were just a little dated and adjustments could have been made to the game before being released. They don't make NCAA for original X-box in a compatible year to import draft classes, other than that, I'm still playing.

Madden (2009-01-26)
Still old madden graphics but better with updated roster and stadiums. I played madden 06 for years and my record was 214-21. I can see me doing it again with this game.

All smiles (2009-01-15)
I gave this gift to my hubbers for Christmas. Well, it kept him busy for 8+ hours that day while I had to work. I don't think I could ask for much more than that.

Great game (2009-01-15)
I really enjoy playing this game, I feel like I am really there on the team.

maddennfl09 (2009-01-10)
is like all the madden football games a lot of fun to play with all
the good graphics

I Love This Game (2009-01-12)
all i'm going to say is that this is the best star wars game EVER!!!! and i'm not a role playing game person. anybody can get into this game.

One of the best games I've ever played (2008-12-21)
I love a good rpg and this one has all my favorite elements of what makes one great. As a bonus it also is Star Wars themed, something I also love, and features some of John Williams awesome theme music.
This was my favorite game until I played Mass effect, also by Bioware, but it remains a strong second. I simply love this game. It has one of the best and most immersive storylines I've ever seen in a game. There are plot twists and unexpected developments throughout the game. You have numerous choices to make, and some of the choices effect the outcome of the game. There are a large number of quests, including many optional ones and and you may choose to take a good or evil path or something in between. There are numerous well developed characters who can join your party, each with their own personality. They may help or hinder you, during quests or even leave the party or turn on you depending on your actions. You have influence with the characters and it depends largely on your action and your choices.
The storyline is simply excellent, the sound effects and graphics are excellent, music is excellent, and the buildings/scenarios are unique and diverse. The endings are excellent and one of the best I've ever seen in a game. I really enjoyed playing this game.
The only cons I think of is the combat, which I didn't mind because this is an rpg first. The combat is automatic and you don't do much except direct your characters to use certain abilities or weapons or to attack certain foes. Otherwise they simply fight automatically. Again this didn't bother me at all, but 1st person shooter fans, might have issue with this.

Sorry, I think this is one of the WORST Star Wars games (2008-10-15)
I picked this game up a few months back. I got it because I just got through with Mass Effect and loved that game. Well the folks who did Mass Effect for the most part also had a hand in making this Star Wars game, Knights of the Old Republic.

I'll make this short, because I think some people need to know just how flipping boring this game is. The dialogue is okay. You have to read it, and there is no actual speach. I can live with that, especially since this game did come out a few years back.

However, the action sequences are left the game found wanting. You press a button, and watch your characters do all the work. "Wow. That's it?!" Is what I thought to myself. I'm not much of an RPG guy, but when I hear the words "ACTION" and "FUN TO PLAY" associated with it, I tend to think their might be some challenging action scenes to go along with a game with story line. You know, something like Deus Ex, or Mass Effect. Heck, even the Final Fantasy guys get it right year after year. I say all of that, so I don't get people flaming me saying I just don't like RPGs. I do like RPGs, just the good ones.

I felt like I was being spoon fed everything to continue on with the game. It wasn't challenging at all. I had to quit after playing this game for about an hour. I kept telling myself it will get better, and it never did.

Sorry folks, but Star Wars games like the X-Wing/Tie Fighter series, Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series, and even the Rebel Assault games were better than this crap.

You want a good RPG from Bioware? Play Mass Effect. You want a good RPG period? Play Lost Odyssey, or Diablo, or Titan's Quest, or the Elder Scrolls series, or the Fallout series, or Final Fantasy. Just not this game.

This is but a taste of the Dark Side... (2008-10-09)
Let me preface this by saying this game is awesome! So why four stars? Mostly because of some systemic issues that I came across and one thematic reason that didn't fit well with me. Other than that this game is simply brilliant. Taking Star Wars into the realm of role playing was obviously a great idea. The tabletop game looks fun as it is, but to branch into the realm of video games, I suspect, is just as fun. I've played Star Wars games on and off since "Dark Forces II" came out years ago, but I wouldn't say I'm an absolutely die hard fan of them. However, I'm hoping "Knights of the Old Republic" will spawn a long running string of similarly designed Role Playing games!

RPG's are probably my favorite format for video games (I still haven't decided if I really like them more than FPS or if they simply tie). The game that really got me into RPG's was Diablo and it's because it didn't use the very common turn based system that was used in games like Final Fantasy. Now a huge amount of RPG's released over the years have followed this kind of methodology in copying the fast paced Diablo format where the user gets to hack away at enemies in a button mashing frenzy. "Knights of the Old Republic" uses more of a turn based combat system. Which I really didn't think I would like at first, but I didn't mind it to much in this one. It gives you the time you need to setup your attacks and choose force powers if you want to use them in combat. Some people might find this boring because you don't have to really physically participate in the combat, instead simply watch your character execute the moves, but I still managed to enjoy my time in this game. At least I get to manually control where my character goes and whom I interact with. I personally found the game play enjoyable.

Another major plus for this game is that you definitely get your moneys worth! I logged nearly 60 hours in my process of completing this game and you can play the game multiple ways! Basically if you play it as a Dark Side character you get different options than you would a Light Side character, and each side has different endings. This at least makes it worthwhile to play through the game twice logging approximately 120 hours of game play in all! This, of course, is provided it doesn't go faster the second time around... which it probably will take less time.

Anyway, I played through the game as Dark Side and this is where my initial hang-up came in. Based on the movies and other things I've read in the Star Wars universe I just didn't feel like they really captured the ethos of the Dark Side. In this game you had to do randomly cruel actions in order to earn Dark Side points and I really didn't like that. While the Dark Side is unforgiving and cruel, I don't feel it's a chaotic cruelty. It's more of a measured cruelty that's motivated by a need for power. Arbitrary cruelty doesn't really have much of a result in this game, you don't gain anything from it (other than Dark Side points) and I just think that doesn't work towards the true Dark Side motivations. Now I've played both "Knights of the Old Republic" games and I really liked two better in this regard. I think it captured the Dark Side much more correctly. Whereas in this one it's very difficult to actually play as a Dark Side character most of the time. In some situations I didn't have any option, but to give an answer that yielded me Light Side points and this just seemed stupid to me because my character was so heavily weighted to the Dark Side at that time. Not to mention one of the major ways you earn Dark Side points is by being mean to your own team, this just seemed foolish. If you were really Dark Side you wouldn't be blatantly mean to the team you were leading, you would coax them into wanting more power or vengeance etc. This doesn't come into play until the second half. The only time I really felt like I was truly playing a Dark Side character was when the big plot twist was revealed, after that I got very heavily into the story line and moved this game up a notch in my rating scale. (Very very VERY awesome plot twist by the way!)

The second issue I had with the game was how heavily laden the game was with glitches. Now I tried playing through it on my Xbox 360, so you'd think the game would actually process smoother, not so at all. It is especially jumpy during talking sequences between characters and it has an extremely difficult time processing a battle with a large amount of enemies. This becomes detrimental in the later battles on the Star Forge where you have to fight through so many Sith that the system can barely process all the blaster fire and light saber duels! Now, I also tried playing this game on my original Xbox a long time ago and basically what happened there is it had an in game error and crashed the whole system. My original Xbox never worked again and I had to purchase a new one, thus I played this on the 360 to hopefully avoid that. Well, the glitches are still rife throughout my game play, but at least it didn't destroy my Xbox this time. (Please note: The game more than likely didn't destroy my original Xbox, but probably had more to do with its age and the amount of use it had received over the years. I just have a natural fear now that it happened!)

Overall this is an incredibly good game. It's pretty well thought out and probably a superb game if you play as a Light Side character, because the story-line probably has a much better flow. You visit multiple worlds throughout this game and each world is simply HUGE. It's one of the reasons it takes so long to play the game, especially if you like to play a game thoroughly like me (i.e. making sure every inch of a map is shown). Again, the major flaw, to me, aside from the programming glitches, was the Dark Side story line is lacking. Anyway, I think the processing would have been superior on a PC at this point. I would definitely list this as one of my must play RPG's, because despite it's flaws it really is that fun and if you're a die hard Star Wars fan, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Best Star Wars game, Best RPG of the last 5 years (2008-09-25)
Since I got this game I've beaten it 3 times. There's a reason this game won so many awards. It's amazing and if your a star wars fan and haven't played it already your missing out. This game is nearly perfect. Amazing story with one of the best twists ever. Amazing characters. Just an amazing star wars experience that has great replay value.
