Pokerstars VIP store items review - Page 21 - Internet Poker

maybe. they definitely change the color of light. they make yellowish light look more blue-white. or maybe regular light just looks yellower when i take the glasses off. they just arrived yesterday so i need more time to test em out.

Just saw this in the store:

Rear View Monitor Mirror

"This handy little device sits on your monitor and lets you know what's happening behind you."

Okay, sounds good....

"This makes it great for playing online at pokerstars, especially if you're away from the home computer or on the road."

I play this game too much. But when I can't drive to work without cracking open the laptop to get a few hands in on the way, I quit.

I have no interest in anything in the store, and its just kinda ridiculous that I have to get some silly giftcard for 300 dollars that measures out to 1.4c per fpp instead of 1.61 given for concierge just because im gold member instead of supernova.

I mean, if I earn 3 million points to get a porsche, who cares if I earned it by becoming supernova elite, or by grinding out low stakes on the site for 10 years.

I understand why certain things that bear the pokerstars logo may require a certain level. others who play may see someone with a custom shirt or some such thing and think "oh, i guess that guy is a supernova" or what have you, but for something like a concierge service, i see no point in limiting it.

Pokerstars would rather have your points sitting their doing nothing than giving out cash for them.

If you're Supernova status getting a cash bonus. Otherwise, it varies. Obviously the points become worth less as you move down. But, IMO platinum is pretty obtainable and that lets you cash out at 1000 points = $13 IIRC

i've changed my stance from "maybe" to DEFINITELY. the last 2 days i've played the whole day with them on and whenever i take them off my screens seem brighter and seem to immediately strain my eyes.

i will probably wear these sunglasses from now on whenever i am at my computer.

would definitely recommend.

ps - i have not tried them much outdoors so i have no idea how they fare in the wild blue yonder

I saw that Ipads are now available in the store. Any chance that the 3G Ipads will be available any time in the near future, preferably before Christmas?

Meh, futureshop giftcards are just as good and you get a way better conversion rate than buying the actual electronics (probably cause shipping isn't an issue).

The only problem with them is Pokerstars doesn't process the orders for 9 days, and then it takes Bestbuy (who own FS and send out the cards) 4+ weeks on top of that to send the cards for some insane reason.

A rubber wrist band is a cool way of showing your dedication to a cause, and now you can let people know that PokerStars is your site...

Cancer Research
AIDS Research
Support Troops
Anti-Racism
Play at Stars

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

edit: Idea to fix it. List of charities to pick from. Get a wrist band with FPPs. Stars matches $ to send to charity.

I just got the Vipers and am holding myself from throwing them in the trash; they are way too small, I can see reflection of my eyes/forehead and just plain uncomfortable. If they made them in Aviators I'd be happy probably.

I want a refund dammit
