The 10 Most Overrated Products!

I am interested to know what you guys think are the most over rated product? I think the Nintendo Wii.

The Bond Worthy Spy gadgets is also a good read. (the credit card knife it cool)

Go.

MSN is kinda owned by MS. They will fail every time they try something like this.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Wow, that was retarded.

Hur popular things are overrated and unpopular things are underrated.

No wai!

Of course iTunes, iPhones and iPods are overrated.

The only one I agree with on that list is XP/Vista.

Nintendo Wii is so much fun, those who have one and actually have friends know this.

Isn't that the truth?  Never had as much fun linking up some Xboxs as I have had doing some Brawl matches with friends.

Although I agree that to a degree its overrated, but the PSP much more so.  The PSP only recently starting gaining in popularity again, and when you ask most people who own one why, its for the mod community.

I don't like Wii's - whereas the PSP is one of the most awesomely versatile bits of kit you can pick up for next to no money (mine was £70 with a 4GB memory stick - and that was nearly 2 years ago). PSP's (once they have custom firmware on) are astonishingly good. If you haven't spent a good deal of time using one, then you may find it hard to understand, but they are amazing (and have a great selection of games from a wide range of genres (and platforms - when you consider all the emulation potential)).

Most of that list seems fairly accurate - although what the fuck are multiply and paint.net - they look shite.

But Wii's are gimicky fun! Sure, I only play it every so often, but still... What do you actually do with the PSP though? Handheld games (with the exception of Pokemon when I was 9) don't appeal to me in the slightest. The games also seem pretty pricey when I see them in game stores, for what they are.

A pro for the Wii system is how approachable it is for someone who isn't a "gamer" IMO. I have one and my GF and I can playing bowling games and crap like that. I hand her the Xbox 360 controller, she takes one look and says "too many buttons" and hands it back. I think it's a really good gaming console for that reason, and it's pretty cheap, also it's the only way I can play Zelda

OVERRATED:

"Save Windows XP!" is the rallying cry of Windows users dismayed by the needless bloat of Vista. But didn't everyone have the same critique of Windows XP when it first galumphed into public view like an unsteady rubber monster?

What did Vista get right? For starters, though the User Account Control feature is like an annoying little sister who constantly pokes you, it makes Vista more secure than XP. Vista also trounces XP in handling mobile de­­vices, networking, multimedia files and photos. On top of that, it has a cleaner, more navigable interface -- one eerily reminiscent of a certain Mac operating system.

Eh. I started losing interest as soon as they got into the console vs console scene.

Overrated: Windows XP; Underrated: Windows Vista

Right. But Windows XP isn't the OS it was when it 'galumphed' onto scene. The fact is, not everyone's buying a new computer to handle Vista's higher system requirements, and not everyone is willing to sit down and figure out how to trim the fat.

What do you do with the PSP?

I play loads of games on it mostly. I currently have God of War, Patapon, FFVII:CC, Doom, Every good SNES game, a load of Neo-Geo and CPS2 games and PES 6 (on disk) in my PSP. That's a lot of great games to have in a single portable unit you can easily take anywhere. The range of games available is vast and many of the PSP only games (like Patapon) are great fun.

Games are not remotely pricey for them. I don't know where you're getting that idea from. They're cheaper than for any other platform, apart from the DS which has very simillarly priced games (about £20 new on release). The most I've ever spent on a PSP game is £8. In fact I've spent less than £100 on the PSP, memory stick, games (some of my games are perhaps not entirely legally obtained) and car charger.

Also, yes the iPhone is overrated, but that doesn't make it any less of a damn good phone.

There's a reason why most new smart phones try to call themselves "iPhone killers".

I've yet to see one do it yet.

Then I have no idea what the hell you've been reading...everything I've been reading places it as a good phone, but not an iPhone killer.

http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/blac … rm-review/

Going into this review, we really wanted to love this phone. On paper it sounds like the perfect antidote to our gripes about the iPhone, and in some ways it lives up to those promises -- but more often than not while using the Storm, we felt let down or frustrated. Ultimately, this could be a great platform with a little more time in the oven, but right now, it feels undercooked -- and that's not enough for us.
That's not to say it's bad - it's certainly not...it just doesn't beat the iPhone.

Hell, I'd probably get it if I didn't have the iPhone considering I used to be with Verizon.
