"I've had the opportunity to use these headphones for the past couple of weeks and it's safe to say that they're definitely usable and good quality headphones, the question remains is if they're worth the asking price. At the MSRP of $100, I think it becomes difficult to justify unless you really need the noise canceling more

"What I love about this game is how they were so consistent in the design. Choice is the key word, and this extends to all aspects of the game from which weapons to use, to when to save, to which ending you'll get. Everything is supported which makes the experience a virtual playground for seeing what more

"No... that sounds like something is defective. Either the cable, the 360, or the router. If you've tested all 3 and it's only the 360 that's causing issue, then I don't know what to tell you other than call 1-800-4MY-XBOX"

"I don't think I'd put RE4 as a competitor to L4D, if anything it should be RE5 since it has a two-player co-op mode. As for Dead Rising... again, not really sure. But Dead Rising doesn't really have any direct competitors so games like L4D and RE5 are probably the closest you'll get."

Some of them worked out extremely well, while others can be more of a pain than anything. One of the innovations more

"I think it's up to each Application, so can't say in general whether they're all US-centric or not. However, right now I would guess that they're mostly US-centric simply because Android hasn't really come out anywhere else yet.

Hey, I'm Omar Ismail one of the founders of ProductWiki

I'm a graduate of the University of Waterloo, with a degree in Software Engineering. I'll be passing a quarter of a century in 2008. Before starting ProductWiki I had a bunch of jobs in co-op including two 3-month stints at EA Redwood Shores studio working on The Godfather game.

If it's not obvious from my contributions to the site, I'm a huge gamer and think a lot about the game industry. You can catch me on Xbox Live with my gamertag: rastex. I prefer action games and crazy Japanese titles.

If you'd like to get in touch for any reason related to the site or not, my e-mail address is omar@productwiki.com

Nope, its duiu1, I added you as a friend. I am however, getting some NAT settings are moderate and stuff will be slow... blah blah error. And stuff is slow. How do I fix it. I enabled UPnP and don't filter Internet NAT redirection, and put my XBox in a DMZ and its still here. It connects by going through a DD-WRT bridge to our network.

Have you ever heard of 360s deciding that Ethernet cable is not plugged in when it is? Cause that's what mine is doing.

Ok, I'll consider that. I have a friend who's got a 20gb, but wants a 60gb, and I might be able to convince him to sell his 20gb to me.
Thanks for the advice.

Omar, if I'm in the market for a 360, what's my best bet on acquiring one? Wait until after holidays? Black Friday? Order online? Now? Later? I was thinking either the leftover $260 or getting the $199 and a used 20gb HDD.

First of all let me say I think this site is a great idea, I really like what you're doing here. But there are a couple things that might help.

First of all, I want to see what products have user reviews and how many total reviews.
And i think that a rating system would also be helpful, I know it's possible to sort by popularity, but a rating system would provide some additional depth.

Alright, now that that's out of the way I do have a question for you. I work at HP and we are looking into some online advertising. If we posted some product, would it be possible to have our own section? "CampusHP Hotspot" Perhaps?
I know we can post merchandise, but without a specific place to sort it I'm afraid it might get lost and separated amongst everything else.

We would probably be adding laptops, monitors, printers and accessories.
Actually, would there be a way to list my user name under each catogory, and then have all the different products there?

Something like "Campus HP Kid - Bringing you great deals and great products for college students, faculty and staff."

If you think some of this may be a possibilty please feel free to send me an E-mail at HE2@computiopa.com

Thank you for your time and best of luck with the site!

Hey, Omar! Please tell me why you deleted Child Sponsorship Portal at www.ecmafrica.org.

I knew people could comment, edit, etc. But just DELETE an entry, and with no explanation?

I realize Child Sponsorship Portal is a bit different than the other website entries, but the site says to make the best placement you can and others will help to reassign it if needed. That's a far cry from deleting it.

Please, I want to use the site fairly. This is a discouraging start. I feel you owe me an explanation.

"Is there someplace that I can get the "rules" for adding products-like the limit on the number I can have? I tried to put the URL for the products pics, but the only way I could get to allow people to access the products was to add a link to the site...if you have a way to get the product URLs to work that would be great. Anyway let me know about any links to product wiki rules. Thanks

hey omar, you should take a look at server logs for the people who have commented on http://www.productwiki.com/chaser-5-hour-energy-shot/ - it looks like a lot of them signed up for the site just to comment on the beverage - kind of stinks of the company trying to bias the report.
