Reviews

  • Panasonic DMR-XW450

    Panasonic's upmarket DVD recorder has oodles of functionality, but it's hidden behind a somewhat obtuse remote control.

  • Belkin Conserve Surge Protector

    Belkin's Conserve Surge Protector probably won't save you a ton of money, but it does provide a convenient way to selectively shut off any power-sucking devices in your home.

  • Seagate FreeAgent Theater

    Its poor video support means it's not perfect, but if you have a FreeAgent portable hard drive it's quite a capable photo and audio streamer.

  • Killzone 2

    Killzone 2 boasts amazing visuals, an intense campaign and extraordinary online play that will keep you coming back for more.

  • Yamaha RX-V663

  • iLife '09

    Apple iLife '09 is a great application suite for simple media organising and editing, and the addition of features like face recognition, geotagging and music lessons makes it worth the update.

  • Kogan Blu-ray player

    Kogan's budget-line Blu-ray player has excellent playback, and is even region free. At the same time, it's a player we could only recommend as a stopgap solution for multi-region buyers.

  • Kogan 42-inch 1080p LCD TV

    Kogan's 42-inch panel offers a budget entry point into 1080p Full HD TV, but there are compromises to deal with along the way.

  • JVC rolls out second-gen iPod-friendly TVs

    In 2008, JVC became the first company to offer TVs with built-in iPod docks. For 2009, Panasonic is joining the fray with its own line of iPod-friendly TVs, but JVC is looking to defend its turf with a second generation of models.
