- Among all the video game accessories available today, no other market seems to be expanding as rapidly as the video game headset.

- Asus Eee Top ET2002
- Nvidia wants us to tell you that its GeForce 9400M graphics chip, aka Nvidia's Ion technology, pulls Asus' Eee Top ET2002 up from the depths of Nettop misery by imparting it with better-than-terrible graphics and video processing. We agree that the 9400 chip improves the ET2002's visual chops, but a...

- Netgear Digital Entertainer Live
- The first few rounds of network media streamers we tested weren't necessarily recommendable. Sure, this was partially because most of these devices depend on Windows Media Center for connectivity and content, but we also had issues with their interfaces and performance. Unlike the company's previous solutions to home...

- Nice theory, but..."Or as Mark Twain once said, ?Put all your eggs in one basket and watch that basket.?"But isn't moving to the "cloud" putting all your eggs all in one basket...and that all you can do is watch...because you have NO control over it.And how about when your "cloud"...

- Hollywood studios offer 'download to own' DivX movies online; Film Fresh the new iTunes?
- Too little, too late?This should have happened a long time ago. Since these files are being downloaded anyway, by charging a fair, low price, these media companies stand to get a lot of cash where they didn't get a dime before.The question is, is it already too late?What about DRM?I...

- Okoro OMS-BX300 home theater PC delivers high performance, high price
- While companies like Dell and Lenovo are trying to enter the home theater PC market at the low end, with unassuming processors and nary a Blu-ray drive to brag about, Okoro is heading in the opposite direction with its new OMS-BX300 "Blu-ray Digital Entertainment System." Forget an Intel Atom or...

- eMachines EZ1601-01
- Declaring the eMachines EZ1601-01 the best all-in-one Nettop we've seen is kind of like saying swine flu is our favorite vaccination-resistant virus. We haven't been shy about our distaste for this entire Nettop product category, and while eMachines has wrapped this system around an uncommonly large display for its $399...

- Dell Studio XPS 435 (Intel Core i7 920, 500GB HDD, 3GB)
- Despite our preference for a more purpose-built computer, we actually have a fair opinion of this $1,579 Dell Studio XPS 435 build. It's fast, attractive, and comes with a Blu-ray drive and a reasonably capable graphics card. You could plunk this system in a dorm room or a home office...

- El Kameleon JVC EXAD KD-AVX77 media player
- When we last saw JVC's El Kameleon car audio receiver, we awarded it our Editors' Choice award for its innovative interface and expandability. However, we wished that the unit featured a touch screen instead of a touch pad. With the new El Kameleon KD-AVX77, we get our wish. The new...

- Onkyo HT-S3200 (black)
- To date, Onkyo has been the go-to manufacturer for component-based home-theater-in-a-box systems. For 2009, the company has introduced just two new products to the category: the $500 HT-S5200 and the $350 HT-S3200 reviewed here. The entry-level HT-S3200 may lack some of the niceties we're used to in pricier home...
