As much as I'd like to use it 'till the very end, unfortunately this item is nothing but trash for me. I got this as a freebie promo when getting the Minions movie. And it just so happens I also needed a compact lunch bag/box. The first week or two were fine. But the velcro stripe on the bag started to come off. A simple tie of the loose strand helped keep it there for a while. But then the strap handle started to tear off. It got to the point where I had to purchase another lunch box/bag.
Yes, it was cheaply made. That's to be expected. But I had hoped it would have lasted for more than a month before being retired. If you see these things around, don't bother getting it. Even as a promotional free item, it's not worth having and will probably end up being thrown into the trash in a month of daily usage.

For when you have no credit card

Simply put, this is a good alternative in getting gems using real money. Those who do not have plastic can get one of these to make purchase in the game's Gem Store, which offers various skins, toy trinkets, services, or upgrades to the account. Upgrades to the account includes things like expanding your character's number of bag slots, your account's bank slots, character slots for more characters to choose/use, or stylish finishers that're used in Player vs Players or World vs World.
On the other hand, this also makes a good gift to people who play the game. If you know someone who plays Guild Wars 2 a lot, then this card is a good gift for various occasions -- like birthdays or Christmas.

![Back to the Future: 30th Anniversary Trilogy [Blu-ray] [Only @ Best Buy]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4539/4539401_sa.jpg)
The entire Back to the Future trilogy on four Blu-rays. The collection includes Back to the Future, where Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and eccentric scientist Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) travel in a souped-up DeLorean time machine to the 1950s, only to interfere in the romance between Marty's parents (Crispin Glover and Lea Thompson), Back to the Future 2, where Marty and Doc travel to visit Marty's family in the future, and Back to the Future 3, where Doc and Marty venture to the Wild West. Extras include deleted scenes, Q&A with director Robert Zemeckis and producer Bob Gale, commentary tracks and more.

"Doc, are you telling me that you built a time machine.... out of a DeLorean?!"
"The way I see it, if you're going to build a time machine, why not do it with some style!"
While it was disappointing that the Chicago Cubs didn't make it to the World Series and win it all for 2015, this movie is still a classic. Now with a Blu-Ray release, and the included bonus if miniature license plates from the movies, having this around will make sure I'll be ready to watch this again whenever I want. As an added bonus, the digital copy makes viewing convenient when you have a tablet or a Chromecast around to stream it to your TV.
Purchasing this at a discounted price of 25 dollars is a steal. The 3 movies plus the digital copy of all 3 movies makes getting this an impossible deal to beat.

Good movie and more or less continues where the first Avengers movie left off. There may be some required viewing before watching this movie, such as Agents of SHIELD and/or Captain America: Winter Soldier. But neither is necessary to enjoy the movie.
The visuals is great and the audio is good. I have yet to check on the surround mix. But for simple viewing, the audio is good enough. The casting is also great, as it brings in characters seen in previous related movies. The only downside is that the writing is done so well that it only leaves you wanting more. I'm anxious to see how the next Avengers movie play out.

Know someone who plays Guild Wars 2? Or are you in need of gems yet don't have a credit card? This is an excellent way of getting gems for yourself or for someone else. Gems are in-game currency used to purchase tangible items from the game's store, which can be visual enhancements to armors or weapons, in-game toys, or personal upgrades to the account. Good for gifting. Even better for yourself if you can pay for less by any means possible.

This Razer Naga Hex Wraith Red 8096387 MOBA/action-RPG gaming mouse allows accurate and precise command execution while playing your favorite PC games. The laser technology offers reliable performance.
Posted by: Sixshot
from Melrose, MA
After using Logitech mice for what felt like forever, using a mouse like this was a learning experience. The side (thumb) buttons takes a while to get used to. Most mice of gaming caliber are designed with just two or three on the side. With 6 buttons and a hexagon form, this will throw most users off and will be a learning curve. Thankfully, the default settings are set to simple number keys. This can be changed in the configuration software, which is tons lighter than Logitech's software.
The configuration software is straightforward and easy to set up. It has enough flexibility for the power users to take advantage of the hardware and is straightforward enough to be easy to understand.
There are two drawbacks to this mouse. The first is that there is no tilt-wheel. While this may not be an issue for most gamers, those migrating from MS-esque mouse designs may find it odd to live without this little feature. The second drawback is the material finish used for the top of the mouse and mouse buttons. It is a smooth glossy plastic finish that collects small particles that can clump together (due to oily hands/fingers, sweat, or whatever). Because of this, you have to frequently clean the button surface to get back that smooth "new" feeling. I probably would have prefer a matte finish instead of smooth gloss. But that's just me.
Overall, the mouse is a pretty good replacement for the ol' Logitech mouse I've been using for a while. And it's very refreshing to be able to use the Razer Synapse software that feels smooth and lightweight. If you're tired of how bloat-like Logitech's driver software has become, moving to a Razer hardware may help alleviate that. For mice, Razer has been in the game long enough to be considered an excellent alternative to Logitech's gaming mice series.

Surprisingly nice

After viewing my options on what brand of component cable to purchase, I decided to try out Rocketfish. It's expensive on the side, but cheaper than the official Nintendo branded one.
The gold connectors ensure the best signal quality possible but given the video data that it is transmitting, I kinda/sorta doubt that's really necessary.
The biggest surprise for me is perhaps the build quality of the cables. They feel sturdy and thick, which gives you the feeling that it is tough and should be built to last. Also, the cables themselves are braided, which helps to prevent cables from bending too much. While this may make routing cables a bit tougher, it will last longer this way.
A quick test and a change of setting, the picture quality looks about the same. That isn't too surprising since the Wii's general output is set to either 480i or 480p. The only technical and possibly visible difference between the two is the de-interlacing system employed by your HDTV. When viewing interlaced content, you may see that split second flicker of a deinterlacing artifact. To me this is common and the primary reason to purchase a component cable for Wii.
In the end, the cable is worth it but only if it has been discounted by a good amount. There are cheap alternative cables ranging from 10 to 15 dollars. And at 28 dollars for this, it's on the high side. Yes, the build quality can make up for its high price. But being the frugal buyer that I am, I think it's probably worth at most 25 dollars instead. If you have leftover gift cards or have coupons, use them on this.
What's great about it: good build quality, gold plated connectors
What's not so great: high price

Not for the comic book fans
on September 18, 2007
Posted by: Sixshot
from Melrose, MA
When the Doomsday story arc began on the comics, many were excited to see how it developed. What made the story arc so interesting was how it began so simply and developed so complexly into a single menace that threatens Superman's very existence and life. So when it came to that battle at Metropolis, Superman made his last stand there to make sure he does whatever it takes to take Doomsday out.
.
The animated adaption doesn't follow the story arc from the comic book version at all. Only a few key elements from the comic version made it into this movie. While I question as to how Doomsday first appeared and arrived on Earth, some things are needed to simplified. Sadly, historical elements regarding Doomsday itself were left out completely. It's understandable that it needs to be omitted, since the historical part were written afterwards and was written separately from the mainline story arc. Another piece that adapted well was Doomsday's utter brutality upon encountering any life form. There are maybe one or two parts that were over-the-top but still at least within Doomsday's character.
.
One disappointing factor was how simplistic the story approached the Doomsday vs Superman match-up. It did not take long for Superman to get right into the action of battling Doomsday and even less time for the street fight to end. And how it all ended was just as horrible as how the entire adapted story was written.
.
The entire movie is composed of two parts. Superman vs Doomsday and the Return of Superman... or Supermen. Neither of which followed any memorable elements from the comic book version. While it's understandable that the Return arc would have complicated and extended the movie more, it would have been a whole lot better as a movie experience had it been done that way.
.
This movie overall is a poor adaption of the comic version. A lot of key and crucial elements were missing and including a certain character as part of the story made it worse. I say... stay away from this DVD. It's not worth your money. You'll get better entertainment out of reading the comic version, of which there is a trade paperback release out there. Ask your local comic book store about it and buy the copy if available.

What is the difference between the MX55EC3 and MX5503?
$50,speed rating of AX5400 and 5300, but seemingly otherwise identical. I just finished posting a review and I do not recommend the MX55EC3 at all. Not only does it have a slightly lower speed rating of AX5300, it also has a higher MSRP. If you're considering the Atlas Pro 6, get the MX5503 and avoid the former at all cost. The former is pretty much a "dead on arrival" product and the price makes absolutely no sense.

How do some of you already have these headphones in possession to review?
There's a program with Best Buy called "Tech Insider Network" that allows its members to review products. Some of those products are offered to members prior to its general release while others are either close to release or is already released. TIN membership is through an invite process and is handed out via Best Buy themselves at their own discretion. As members, we have no control who can be invited.

Polished, professional Full HD video calls. The C920S HD Webcam delivers remarkably crisp, clear and detailed images in vibrant colors. HD autofocus and light correction adjust to provide consistently high definition, and the dual mics on either side of the lens capture natural sound. The privacy shutter puts you in control of what you show.
Can I use an external microphone with this camera? If so can you tell me how?
This depends on the software you're using. Under Skype, this is possible as you can select the audio input line for your mic. I suggest that you check with the software you're using and view the settings available. I assume that most software will allow you to pick a different audio input line for your preferred microphone.

According to research by Sony Corporation measured using JEITA-compliant guidelines. In headband-style of wireless noise-canceling headphones market.
How many watts does the adapter need to be to allow for quick charging?
There's no quick charging per se. However, going by typical 5v lines, Sony recommends a minimum of 1.5a. So if your charger can output 5v at 2 to 3 amp, then you may be fine. I wish Sony would publish their electrical input limit, or whether or not the headphone could handle a USB-PD source.

This wireless headphones, cam I use it on a laptop and do the laptop need to be bluetooth or is there a adapter that I can plug to my laptop to make it wireless? Can you please let me know. Thanks
The headset does not use Bluetooth. Its connection is through a USB transmitter that you plug into the computer. By estimation, that transmitter is a small 3x3x1in block. As for whether it'll work on your laptop, it should. However, at last check, there is nothing with regards to additional drivers in the case of older versions of Windows. On Windows 10, it works out of the box.

Does anyone know what Bluetooth codec they will be implementing? Like AAC, or Aptx?
According to my Bluetooth setting on Android 8.1, it's using AAC for codec. I don't know if it uses anything else or if it's capable of anything else. But that's as much as I can tell at first glance.

What is the difference from this psn card and the regular one without the GTA graphics on it?
There is no difference. It's just promotional graphics on the card. It's also a completely different SKU from each other. So whenever Best Buy puts a promo offer on this, the regular cards will not get any discount. Yes, they work exactly the same. I tried that argument at my local Best Buy but they won't budge at all. The next time they offer a promo/discount on this, make sure you ask a staffer to find it because they didn't put these where I can easily find 'em.
