Some might complain that offering the ports internally via a 5.25" case bay might have been a better choice, but we'll always take external peripherals when there's no performance hit.

"PC-VCR Remote" - A laugh issues forth from us here, as the damn "remote" is actually a piece of SOFTWARE not HARDWARE. Now we want to say clearly here that yes the software remote works fine and lets you click channels, adjust volume, etc etc etc. But why not throw an infrared receiver on the A/V Connection Box and let us have a real remote? (Yes we are that lazy....and plus we use 21" monitors here that allow sweet-assed couch viewing)

"ULead Media Studio Pro 5.0 and Avid Cinema" - Both of these pieces of software are very popular within the industry, even CNN uses Avid products for their documentary production. The downside here is that Avid Cinema is available via coupon (included in the large Marvel G200 box) so you have to wait a week or two for it to arrive via mail. Overall this is a sharp semi-professional bundle.

"Photo Express 2.0 and Tonic Trouble" - Uh....This is the rest of the software bundle that's included with the Marvel. Photo Express is ok, and Tonic Trouble is more of a "Let's show everyone how good a game can look at 32bpp". The game itself is pure console fodder, but the graphics are all eye-candied out and therefore very prrreeetttyy.
