Rating: - * 2G iPod Shuffle is the best! ... I love my iPod 2GB shuffle! I can't believe I waited so long to get one. It is easy to use, easy to upload my music, so easy in fact that I can do it with my eyes closed! Rating: - * love it! perfect for the gym ... This is a great solution for when you want something small and have no need for 25,000 songs or video. It's perfect for people who like to listen to music while working out, because it has no moving parts and you won't mess it up by moving around a lot. I use mine all the time, a lot more than I thought I would. Perfect for non-gym stuff also. So good, I've actually pretty much stopped using my other iPods entirely. Rating: - * Get the bigger one ... When I broke my original I-Pod (classic), I thought I would save money and buy this smaller one. It's really cute and perfect for the gym...for about a month until you realize 240 songs really is not enough. You can take off old songs and upload new ones, but this is a pain. My advice is to spend the extra money to get more memory storage. Rating: - * Ipod Shuffle ... Always liked these, just waited awhile to get one. Am using it for a special trip later in the year, and wanted a predominant music theme. Works great while working out! Rating: - * ipod review ... I received my order on time, in good condition, and it was exactly like the picture showed. |

The real joy of the set, however, is nine NBA playoff games presented as they were originally broadcast and almost in their entirety. They last about 90-100 minutes with TV introductions and post-game interviews, but minus halftime, commercials, and some slower moments. The games include such absolute classics as the game in which rookie Magic Johnson started at center in place of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the 1987 "baby hook" game against the Boston Celtics. If you're used to watching current NBA games you might be tempted to just skip to the end, but it's surprisingly rewarding to watch the game develop, to watch the game's superstars strut their stuff (or see a couple of 1972 reserves named Phil Jackson and Pat Riley), and to observe how radically the sport has changed over the years. Variable picture quality and technical glitches are unavoidable (even the 2002 game looks washed out), but this is the first time complete or nearly complete NBA games have been available in the home-video era, and they probably still look better than the VHS tapes you've been saving over the years. Yes, it'd be easy to argue about which games from the Lakers' long history should have been included, and the highlight videos don't have a ton of replay value, but the NBA Dynasty series is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi
