Sale price was pretty good

Like all the XBOX360 controllers, it feels very comfortable in your hands. Functionality is at least as good as the standard controllers. (I wish the PS3 controllers were as comfortable.)

I actually bought this to convert an HDMI output from a laptop to a DVI cable that leads to a ceiling mounted projector...kind of the opposite for how it's intended to be used. Fortunately, it works perfectly for what we needed.

Solid adapter

Reasonably priced adapter with all metal construction feels solid. Gold plated contacts ensure good conductivity. The shrouds for the HDMI and DVI ends also appear to be gold plated. I wonder why it's priced higher than the equivalent DVI-to-HDMI adapter....

This wall mount allows for wall and ceiling mounting for easy installation and features adjustable pivots that lock your speakers into multiple positions to prevent slipping.

Inexpensive and versatile

These mounts include hardware for speakers with at least two different size threaded holes and keyholes (hang on wall-screws only). I used them for a pair of Martin Logan MTL-2 satellite speakers that only have keyholes for wall-mounting. The specs for the mounts aren't clear about this, but the price was low enough for me to take a chance on them; fortunately they worked perfectly. That being said, they will sag a little when mounted perpendicular/cantilevered to a wall because of how far the plastic arms extend and the weight of the speakers. If you can't mount the screws into a wall stud, the kit includes anchors for use in hollow walls.
You won't find a better or more versatile mount for the price.

Cute kids movie, so-so 3D

Funny & entertaining kids movie, but the 3D is only so-so. Maybe not worth the extra money for the 3D version.

Will this give me audio and sound if connecting my older tv with new blu ray player?

I have an older tv with a dvi output and just received a new blu ray player with only an hdmi connection. Can I use this device to connect my tv and blu ray and will i get both video and audio? If not, what can I use?
Since DVI only supports video, no it will not transmit the audio signal. The back of the packaging even says it's not for use with audio signals. If your blu-ray player has an optical output and the TV has an optical input, you should be able to use that to get the audio signal to the TV. If not, then you ought to be able to use plain analog stereo cables (red & white for right & left).
