Rating:  - * Works. ... Great spacing for when you have like five big AC adaptors. The low profile angled plug head was a nice surprise. Wonderful product, I've bought two of them... one over a 1 year ago. Rating: - * Great Surge Protector ... I'm very happy with this item's performance and design. The main reason that I chose this one is that it has ten outlets. Considering the number of peripherals that need to be separately plugged in for a computer system these days, plus a few extra items with chargers that I like to plug in while I'm at the computer, having that many available slots is wonderful. I also like that they arranged the outlets intelligently, with gaps to permit the insertion of the larger plugs that some electronic devices require. Rating: - * very well designed ... As a computer geek, home theater enthusiast, video game junkie, and musician with a home recording studio, I have far too many things to plug in and waaaay too few electrical outlets to meet my needs. Enter power strips. I've got several of your standard 5-outlet power strips/surge protectors around the house. There are two of them behind my home theater and the mess back there almost brings me to tears. Like the other fellow who reviewed this product, I too am putting the cheap extension cords to use for those irritating wall warts that take up 2 or more spaces on your conventional power strips. Behind my computers are more conventional power strips and big messes of cords. But for my recording studio, I have cleaned up and simplified things with the Tripp-Lite 10-outlet surge suppressor. I should break down and get about a few more of them because I am thrilled with the design of this thing. 10 outlets! And half of them are spaced apart from the others so that the wall warts will fit on there without encroaching upon any of the other outlets. Awesome. I have it mounted to my wall and while there's still a stinking mess of wires back there, at least I can get to them and behold: there are even 2 empty slots. I'm not using the telephone cord surge protection feature, but I don't see that as a reason to penalize with less stars like some other character did in his review. So you don't want to plug your phone into this thing, don't plug in your phone. The layout of this power strip and having a whopping 10 outlets is the bomb. As I type this review I look over at the thing and it makes me happy. I'm ordering a couple more right now. Rating: - * Awesome! ... I have a ridiculous number of things to plug in at my computer desk and my home theater, and both locations have a bunch of big and space wasting AC adapters. I was using those cheap white extension cords that have three outlets on the end for most of the since they took up so much space on the normal power strips. After some research through the power strips and surge suppressors (and even some UPSs), I bought one of these Trip Lites, and I was so happy with how everything fit so well and how I was able to consolidate my plugs and lose a few of the white extensions, I bought three more, and they have totally revamped my wiring into a very compact, organized, and manageable cluster. I plan on buying a couple more in case they stop making them, although I doubt the ones I have will have any problems. I'm not recommending this for it's surge protection, because that's not the reason I bought it, and frankly, I've never really have a problem with surges, but if you have AC adapters hogging wall space, this is a great (and low cost compared to a few other similar ones) solution. Rating:  - * Unnecessary ... Do not pay extra to protect low voltage lines (telephone and cable) from spikes. Buy a basic surge suppressor and save youself some money. |
While many novice gamers will enjoy the high-flying, mad-dunking action of the arcade mode, the heart of this game is a serious basketball simulation. With excellent controls, impressive artificial intelligence, and easy play-calling for cuts to the basket, this game should sit well with purists who prefer their mix of coaching and playing in equal doses. A deep create-a-player mode is also available for nurturing an NBA star-in-the-making and powering up his abilities as he performs well over a season. The moves of Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant were motion-captured for the movement of the players in this game, so expect fluid athletic motion. --Jeff Young
