Classics Collection - Patsy Cline

Advantages: postable, lots of chose
Disadvantages: get a bit boring after a while

...100 Classic Book Collection for DS is a really good idea for the DS. The bassic idea is that you hold your DS like a book and use the stylus to turn the pages of a wide range of classic stories. In the collection you have such stories as; Treasure Island, Pride and Prejudice, Oliver Twist, Romeo and Juliet, Jane eyre, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and many more. I found it very easy to use, there is a virtual bookshelf to browse the many books in the collection and by simply clicking on a book it opens up and you can read it with ease. There is also a book guide with custom recommendations that can aid you in which book to read next. Also you can read the author infomation before each book which gives you a good insite in to the history behind the book you are about to read. I found it really helpful as I often get board of books and never... Read review

Advantages: You don't have to clear away the game pieces
Disadvantages: The sound gets annoying after a while

...42 All-Time Classics is a game you should have if you own a DS. There's something in there for everyone and although the box says ages 12+, I have to disagree. I'm pretty sure there are some smart kids out there much younger that 12 who would give you a run for your money in multi-player mode. The games can be played single and multi-player against another DS opponent or the computer. Multi-player can be over the internet or wirelessly with another DS. You can also give another DS user a "gift" where you would send one of the games to his/her DS and they can play until they turn the DS off. When you first switch on you are presented with the start screen and three options, Single player, Multiplayer and Settings. The settings button is for adjusting background sound and music. This is where you will choose a username and an icon to... Read review

Advantages: Easy navigation, clear large screen, huge capacity, great looking, excellent value for money
Disadvantages: iTunes a little annoying, dodgy earphones

...! DISADVANTAGES: I had difficulty with my iPod when my album art and photos weren't showing up when I was trying to view them. I know quite a few others with the 80GB classic were experiencing the same problem BUT all you have to do is hold down the centre key and the menu key for atleast six seconds and it resolves the problem. HOWEVER this may not work for your ipod and again it goes without saying you should consult the manual before you restart/programme any part of your ipod (what I did didn't get rid of anything stored on my iPod). The Bad Bits: Having to use iTunes. Products on iTunes are a little expensive - Ok, 79p a song is cheap, but if you buy 20,000 songs (which I think is the capacity), you're looking at a very expensive music collection (£15,000 +)! Music videos are approx £1.89 which I feel is a little expensive as a TV episode... Read review
