Product Description
The Wii Remote Controller makes gaming accessible to people of all ages and all abilities. Nintendo fused the familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology -- creating a multifunctional device limited only by the imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as a racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For first-person shooters, the remote acts as your weapon that you point at an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on. Features expansion port for additional input devices, such as the Nunchuk controller

To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated- the result is the Wii Remote. Nintendo fused the global familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device that differentiates the Wii from any other console that has come before it.
Revolutionary control
Sporting the dimensions of a small traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's imagination. The magic of the Wii Remote's design lies within; acellerometers inside the controller body measure movement in all directions and at all speeds. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket as you swing your arm for a long forehand or a quick and hard backhand. In a 4x4 driving game it serves as a steering wheel, allowing you to swerve to avoid obstacles or pickup power-ups. In first-person shooters, the Wii Remote acts as a firearm that you can point directly at an on-screen enemy. The list of potential uses is enormous, and the light weight of the Wii Remote allows gamers to play for hours without feeling fatigued.

As comfortable as it is functional
The Wii Remote is equally comfortable in right and left hands and houses just the right number of buttons for gaming- not so many that new players will get confused, but enough so that Wii games don't feel constrained. On the face of the remote are the D (or "plus") pad, a large "A" button which is used for major on-screen actions, and two small options buttons. Between the game buttons are a plus and minus buttons (which often act as "forwards" and "back"), as well as a "Home" button to engage the Wii home screen to change settings or check remote battery levels. On the back side of the controller is a trigger-like "B" button, perfect for timing releases of a bowling roll in Wii Sports.
Thankfully, battery life is excellent with the two included AA batteries, just as with the previous generation of Nintendo wireless controllers.
Immersive intelligence
Along the bottom of the Wii Remote, four blue LED lights indicate which player position the remote is currently set to. The controller automatically connects to the Wii console via Bluetooth wireless technology. Below the LEDs, an expansion port lets you connect a number of devices including the Nunchuck and Classic controllers for Virtual Console gaming (Virtual Console games and controller accessories sold separately). Other features of the Wii Remote include adjustable rumble force-feedback and a reinforced wrist strap to ensure safe use. A speaker inside the remote gives the player feedback about the strength of swings or the accuracy of their moves- such as realistic tennis noises as the "racket" connects with the ball in Wii Sports. Overall, the physical design of the remote is extremely sturdy and of very high quality, ensuring countless hours of Wii gaming fun!

Fits Like a Glove.......2007-11-17
If you've never seen the Nintendo Wii Controller/Remote you may be confused. It looks exactly like a remote you probably have for your TV or DVD player.The Wii remote features advanced technology including tilt recognition and the ability for the game to see where you point it. It has 12 buttons although many arn't commonly used. It fits very nicely in your hands and it can also be rotated to be used like the Classic Nintendo controller we've all used in the past. It takes 2 AA batteries which last around 30 hours. Overall I really think the Nintendo Wii Remote is a great controller. Although it may seem odd, it fits great in your hands and works very well. It also has a strap so it does not fall out of your hand. There is honestly nothing I can say bad about the Wii Remote because it works great!

A fine alternative to higher-priced products.......2007-12-28
If you're not obsessed with high-end performance, you will be more than satisfied with this HDMI cable. The connection could stand to be a little tighter, but by no means do they ever come loose on their own.
Well made.......2007-12-28
These cables are well made, transmit the signal just perfectly for a 1080p with the PS3 blue-ray player. The connectors are well made and should last quite a while. For the money, these are pretty tough to beat. I have had others where the connector was a bit loose and had to get new ones.
Buy This, Save Money.......2007-12-28
Bought this cable to hook my PS3 to the DLP. Works great. Don't waste your money on the more expensive cables.
Great Bargin HDMI cables!.......2007-12-28
I saw this product when I was getting my HD DVD player and thought that this would be the ideal way to connect this to my 32 inch vizio. I was skeptical at first, due to the cheap price and some bad reviews. When it arrived, I was impressed with it. The cable worked like a charm and was very cheap! the only problem was my reciever didn't have HDMI pass through and ended up using it on a upconverting DVD player instead.
Great Deal .......2007-12-26
Don't waste your money on expensive HDMI cables as there is no functional difference. These work perfect and are a bargin.
Product Description
With the Wii Zapper, your game shooting experience is guarenteed to take on a whole other dimension. Your Wii remote and nunchuck fit snugly into the Zapper, still working as well as before, only now in a shape that, when simulating the use of a weapon such as a gun or bow, allows for a steadier hand that is much less likely to get tired. Included with the Zapper is Link's Crossbow Training for the Wii, a clever and engaging shooting game set in the world of Twilight Princess that includes 27 different levels, several different game modes and multiplayer capability up to four people. Link's Crossbow Training is ESRB Rated T for Teen.
Customer Reviews:
Not well thought out........2007-12-28
Unfortunately the Zapper isn't so fantastic. The trigger button that hits the b button on the Wiimote doesnt have a spring loaded recoil, so pushing the button in is rather "mushy." Additionally the zapper is rather small for an adult to use. The crossbow training games are okay but not stellar. It would be better if Nintendo made a gun peripheral that could be used "point and shoot", but with the Wiimotes method of targetting that isn't possible now. I've seen the handgun style controllers available from Nyko now and may try one of those instead for RE Umbrella Chronicles and other games oriented for guns.
More Fun than the Old Duck Hunter.......2007-12-26
I really thought this was going to be a pared down game designed simply as a teaser for future games using the zapper - I was wrong! This game is nice as a stand-alone. It has several different forms of target practice that get you accustomed to aiming and shooting with the zapper. You can compete against yourself or others (offline multi-player).
I have long missed the days of the original Duck Hunter. I just loved that aim and shoot feel - this is sooo.. much better. I'm looking forward to more Zapper titles, but am perfectly happy with this title as it stands!
Also, the zapper itself feels of solid construction, and I like the tommy gun style grip. Great fun for all skill levels. Easy to pick up, and hard to put down!
Awesome- Links Crossbow trainging is good to learn control on shooting and target finding.......2007-12-26
It is one great tool , especially when you play shooting games. The Link's Crossbow training is one great trainging game for beginners to experts. It has different levels and you can set targets by earning medals at different levels to unlock new levels. Overall it got 8 levels and one finale. Great tool and game.
Exeeded Expectations!!!!!.......2007-12-25
This is a great collectors item. It also is fun to play with. It really helps to improve my shooting skills. The game that comes with it is my favorite part. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO fun. A MUST BUY
wii happy.......2007-12-25
The Zapper really makes games on Wii more exciting to play. And getting a game with the Zapper was a real plus. It was a fun thing to get for the holidays. The Wii system is great and the Zapper makes it even better.

Great.......2007-12-24
The ergonomics of this controller are phenomenal. Its pretty apparent how much effort they put into this controller to make it user friendly. Just makes you wonder what the 'next' generation of controllers will look like.
Wireless Controller for XBox 360.......2007-12-21
It's a Christmas gift for my grandson, so it hasn't been used yet, but I'm assuming it will work well. It looks like it has been well taken care of and in good working condition.
rocks!!.......2007-12-18
ok you probably dont need the extra kudos here...everyone knows this is pretty much the best controller out there right now. Add on the fact that you can use this one a PC with a simple $20 accessory that auto discovers up to 4 controllers, and booyah! this is so cool, just like the other side of the pillow (props to stu scott, ESPN). go get one :)

nüvi 200W accepts custom points of interest (POIs). View larger. |
The
nüvi
200W comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and features an ultra-slim design. |
The widescreen version of Garmin's nüvi 200 offers a large, easy-to-read screen (4.3 inches diagonally to the nüvi 200s 3.5 inches) at an attractive price point. Like its smaller sibling, the 200W comes with preloaded maps for the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. If you want maps for all of North America, check out the nüvi 250W. If you want maps for Europe, you'll need to go with the smaller nüvi 270, or you can purchase a set of European maps on SD Card or CD-Rom. While it doesn't have some of the more sophisticated features of higher-end nüvis, it does, like all nüvi 200-series members, offer a rock-solid navigation experience with an easy-to-use colorful touchscreen, 6 million points of interest (POI)s, and an ultra-slim design.
See More of What's Around
The widescreen format gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push.
Smart, Powerful Design
The nüvi 200W is built with a high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data. All this is wrapped up in a package that measures 4.8 x 2.9 x 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighs just 6.6 ounces. The nüvi 200's 4.3-inch (diagonal) display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use.
Navigate with Ease
nüvi 200W comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps, including a hefty POI database with hotels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply touch the color screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2D or 3D maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. In addition, nüvi 200W accepts custom points of interest (POIs), such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip.
Beyond Navigation
Navigation is just the beginning. nüvi 200W features travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. Optional plug-in SD cards for our line of Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nüvi for your travel needs.
Note: Like most USB Mass Storage Devices, the nüvi is not compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows Me.
What's in the Box
nüvi 200W, preloaded City Navigator NT for the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico (no Alaska or Canada detail), vehicle suction cup mount, vehicle power cable, dashboard disk, and set up and go guide.

GREAT GPS.......2007-12-28
The Garmin is great. Easy to set up and easy to use. Would highly recommend it to everyone.
very detailed and accurate.......2007-12-28
I've used on several trips never a problem or error
I have the 200W and its extra width is easy on my eyes
I really like this GPS
Great.......2007-12-28
My uncle has the 680 and I love it. Taking trips are all calculated perfectly. I never liked the smaller screens (3.5").
So naturally, I wanted to purchase something similar. The price is ridiculous for the 600 series. I went with the 200w because it is essentially the same unit but without all the extras such as FM modulation or Bluetooth and the travel kit. I did my research too. I found Garmin NUVI to be the best. Only downside is multi-point destinations. You can add a restaurant or gas station, (POI) or even an address. But only one on the way. They call it a via point. So you would get from point A to point C via point B. You can't route from point A to point E via B, C, and D. Which is offered on the Magellans new widescreen series.
This unit is perfect. The 200w does just about everything a GPS device SHOULD do. It calculates excellent routes, speaks clearly (I often found bad pronunciation of the TEXT TO SPEECH on the 680) and has a VERY accurate arrival time which is amazing. I mean. it was 5 mins off on a 1.5 hour trip on three highways with traffic! The widescreen makes a HUGE difference too.
Highly recommended.

Instead of straining your ears to hear turn-by-turn directions or your favorite MP3s, you can enjoy wireless FM audio transmission via the nüvi 660's wireless FM transmitter. Tune your car's radio to the appropriate station and you'll hear all the nüvi's audio, including voice prompts, MP3s, audio books, and more, directly through your vehicle's stereo system. The nüvi 660 includes many "must-have" entertainment and travel tools, including digital music and audio book playback, JPEG picture viewer, currency converters, and more.

Customer Reviews:
Great GPS for the Money.......2007-12-28
After weeks of research, I finally decided to go with the Nuvi 660 over the TomTom. I am very happy with my purchase, even though there were a few disappointments:
1. Traffic alert is relatively useless. I'm glad it comes with a 3-month trial. I will not be paying for this service. So far this feature has been less than accurate, even in Metro L.A. where we have sensors everywhere. If this is the reason for picking this product, don't waste your money.
2. FM transmitter to listen to sound over car speakers. I have to change FM stations every 5 miles because of static. I finally got smart and used my tape adapter that plugs right into the headphone jack of the Nuvi. This makes the MP3s, phone calls, and Nav directions come in crystal clear through my speakers. But I am lucky I still have a tape deck in my car. Most newer cars don't have one anymore.
3. Efficiency of directions. Most times, the Garmin will direct me to a destination using strange logic- not what I would have chosen when looking up directions through Google maps. It will get you where you want to go eventually, but if you're looking for the BEST way to a location, you may be disappointed.
This is a great tool for those who don't want to bother looking up directions and simply want to travel on a whim. The bonus features of Bluetooth and MP3 playback are worth the extra money over the less optioned models (especially for the price I paid on Amazon). If you're looking to use this as a means to find more efficient, alternative routes to frequent destinations, then you will be disappointed.
Overall, I find this to be a great GPS and I'm happy with my purchase.
Excellent product.......2007-12-28
Pros: Touch - Screen, size, screen resolution, capacity (music and pictures), bluetooth excellent. Car mount easy to install and use. Car charger includes traffic receiver. Easy to carry (great leather case).
Cons: Music volume control clunky.
Flawless.......2007-12-28
I have used this GPS from the East Coast all the way to the West Coast...all I can say is that for the money it has every feature packed in to this nice clear wide screen GPS and it finds EVERYTHING! Great security features, mount, package includes every possible accessory, and also inlcudes 3 months of free traffic alerts. I did A LOT of research and testing before buying any GPS and this by all means beat my standards of quality and all the features working as it should!
Best in the market.......2007-12-28
I spent a lot of time researching for the best value for money and for feature richness and ended up with this one. This model has all the features that I (and I think most people need) expected from a GPS device. First of all it quickly turns on, holds on to the signal pretty well, perfect screen size, good mounting options, voice navigation that is in sync with what the display shows, nice bright display, best routes, I even tried a neighborhood where there are many ways to reach a destination and it picked the most efficient one. So I guess I am pretty happy with my purchase so far.
the nuvi 660 promised & clearly delivered. .......2007-12-28
i managed to get one for a sale price on "cyber monday". Considering the price i have seen this unit sell for at electronic stores (even when on sale!) amazon's price that day was clearly THE deciding factor for this purchase. now, dont get me wrong, i am not an expert in any way on gps units. i am simply your average everyday user, with some basic knowledge of electronics. the nuvi 660 has in fact been everything i could have asked for, what was promised to me in product description, it has delivered. whether its traffic updates, bluetooth capabilities, etc. it has gone above and beyond my expectations. this holiday season it managed to get me around a great deal of traffic on the bridges in NY and helped us arrive with little (if any) delays. considering what the nuvi 650 sells for, the 660 is a no brainer.
