Review title: Shame on HBO Product review: In shopping around and doing some price comparisons the average cost of this DVD is $32 - $41. How dare HBO charge the consumer the identical price of seasons 1-4. The DVD only contains 8 lousy episodes. I refuse to pay full price for half the product. It's cases like this that I say the He** with the industry crying over piracy. First they sat around doing NOTHING to be proactive about stopping piracy before it got out of control as it did. Then instead of looking at their own inactions they started to sue teenagers as a fright tactic. This DVD represents the reason why people were stealing the product. They've been raping both the consumer and artist for many years now with insanely inflated prices and pennies on the dollar for the artist. I say they got exactly what they deserved no sympathy here. Greed can be very ugly indeed.

Ans:decrease

Review title: Very nice "quote" book. Product review: This is a very nice,glossy book of the 49ers heyday filled with many pictures of all the greats. It's not the type of book that pertains to a lot of actual information on the team,as noted by the reviewer. This book is a large collection of quotes and remarks made by ex players who helped build the Niners into the winningest team of the last 25 years. Thus,it's an easy and somewhat quick read as you are browsing over statements made by such and such player (or coach). Good collectible book.

Review title: Works great for me Product review: Not sure what all the negative reviews are about...I have had this product for about 5 years now and it hasn't failed me yet. Other than periodic (maybe once a year) replacement of the filter...that's about it. At the time I think I paid $32 or $33 for it at the PX in Korea. Yes it's loud, but for less than forty bucks I am not expecting the last word in refinement. I have 2 cats and one of the main reasons I use it is to pick up the cat litter they leave on the floor, so I'm not sure I understand the reviewer who said it won't work for that purpose. If you want a simple, lightweight vaccum for cleaning hard surfaces I'm not sure what else you could ask for. I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the noise factor, and the recessed carrying handle that can be a pain to pull out sometimes.

Review title: Great while it lasted - and that wasn't very long... Product review: Bought this product in summer of 2008. I teach classes only 4-6 weeks per year plus other miscellaneous uses. After only a couple of months, the slides would just fly by during a presentation (only when this device was plugged in). By May 2009, the advance button was stuck and the product was useless. I could not get the product to work again.***STAY AWAY - VERY POOR QUALITY!!!
