Reviews

  • Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

    The Half-Blood Prince is a lousy representation of the best-selling novel.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

  • Samsung BD-P3600

    The Samsung BD-P3600 is a huge leap ahead for stand-alone Blu-ray players, with blazing-fast operational speed, tons of features and excellent image quality.

  • LG 42PQ60D

    The LG 42PQ60D is a budget plasma that also performs like one. While design and picture quality are mostly good, we'd spend a little bit more on a Panasonic instead.

  • Tom Clancy's HAWX

    This arcade-style aerial-combat game has plenty to offer those flying solo, but it doesn't offer much in the way of competitive multiplayer content.

  • MSI GX720

    The GX720 does fine for a gaming laptop. While it doesn't pull the massive punch of its Dell XPS or Alienware competitors thanks to its lower spec graphics card, it comes in a lot cheaper and should cover most gaming needs.

  • Sony BDP-S550

    The BDP-S550 is a fully loaded Blu-ray player with all the bells and whistles, including the latest Profile 2.0 advanced interactive feature support and HD audio.

  • Navman S300t

    Best. Looking. GPS. Ever. Shame that it's marred by a weak FM transmitter, reluctant Bluetooth and some interface issues. Still besotted but don't want traffic messaging? Go for the cheaper S100 or S150 instead.

  • Will the NBN kill digital TV as we know it?

    As the NBN bypasses the airwaves and offers a new pipe into 90 per cent of Australia's homes, could long-languishing IPTV services spell the beginning of the end for TV as we know it?
