Didn't I see this movie 30 years ago?

Well the good news is that the old Star Wars movies are back. The bad news is because they just copied the original and updated it.
*** SPOILER ALERT!!! *******
Wait there's nothing to spoil. You've already seen this movie. Once again we have a droid that is on the run from the Empire.... I mean First Order, that has the secret to saving the Universe. Once again the rebels must attack and destroy the Death Star before it powers up and destroys their base. But hey its totally different because the Death Star is bigger this time, right? Lame.
This movie is better than the prequel's but that's not saying much.

Does the job

I bought this router because my previous Netgear router that worked great in my previous home would only get me 1Mbps in the new home we moved to recently. This one works a bit better. Unfortunately the cable and phone line that my provider needs are only together in one room of the house and of course that is upstairs and on the opposite side of the house from where my home theater with my gaming systems is. I can get about 40Mbps upstairs in the house but only about 10mbps downstairs.
So this router gets the job done but I guess I've got a difficult house to get good WiFi reception in.
One downside to this router is that is has a lot of lights on it and they're pretty bright. I have it sitting on the floor of a spare bedroom and the router functions as a night light as it lights the room up pretty brightly at night.

Rent this movie, don't buy it.

I ended up buying this movie because Netflix was always on a wait and Best Buy was selling it at a decent price. It's a pretty interesting movie with a thought provoking plot and good acting. I just don't see myself ever watching it again. I would advise anyone to rent this movie. Don't buy it. It just doesn't have a lot of replay value.

Kojima is crazy

After playing the last Metal Gear which was a great ending to the series I was a little leery of another game. But I've really enjoyed the previous games so I kept an open mind on this one. So far I'm about 25% done and it's a fun game. It can be a bit repetitive though. You basically just go on missions and capture or rescue people trying not to be seen the whole time. Not being spotted is VERY difficult in the beginning but gets easier once you can bring along buddies like the dog or Quiet as they will help to spot enemies for you.
The game mechanics are pretty intricate as you can do things like leave your horse or a jeep in the middle of the road if you are trying to capture a target that is in a moving vehicle. The NPC's will actually stop and try to deal with the road obstruction. It can be pretty funny watching what they do.
So far I would call this game good but not great. I don't think it is as good as Guns of the Patriots as that game was completely epic, (I still think about the boss battles in that game), but it is fun.

Looks over functionality

This was my first "flagship" phone purchase. I am by no means a power user so I don't use the full functionality of the phone. There is no denying that the S6 is pure electronic sexiness wrapped in glass and metal. But in their desire to make the phone smaller and thinner Samsung sacrificed 2 crucial features in my opinion, battery life and expandable storage. I could barely get a whole day's use out of my phone without needing to recharge and as I said I don't even use my phone that much. That along with the lack of SD card storage ultimately led to my returning the phone.
As far as performance was concerned the S6 was about as fast as you could want a phone to be. I never had any issues with lag. The screen was bright and beautiful. However the battery life and lack of storage ended up being deal breakers for me.

Better than Xbox1

I've always been a Playstation guy and I bought the PS4 back at launch. But I hated how originally the PS4 didn't even play CD's or 3D Blu-rays out of the box. I ended up returning the PS4 and made the jump to Xbox 1. But after having the Xbox for about a year I found the Xbox community completely lame. I wasn't having near as much fun as I had playing online with people on the PSN. So I ended up buying the PS4 again.
It still isn't perfect. I can't believe that you still can't put files on the hard drive, (I have all of my music on the hard drive of my trusty ol' PS3) and the Playstation web browser is still complete garbage. But playing games on the PS4 is a lot more fun than on Xbox. About the only thing I do on my Xbox1 anymore is surf the internet.

Wait until this is on sale. Not worth full price

Verified Purchase:Yes
Let me preface this by saying that this is my first game by Bungie. I've always been a Playstation guy but with this generation I made the jump to Xbox 1. I've loved playing BF 3 and 4 was pretty good but not as fun as 3. So after playing those games for a while I began to get bored. Destiny looked to be a game that could replace BF for me. The demo for Destiny was fun but the game itself ended up not living up to the hype. The campaign was fun for about a week as it only takes you about that long to finish it. Then if you want to level up your character you have to endlessly grind out the same missions you've already done over and over and over. Beyond boring. "But wait all you have to do is buy the DLC when it comes out and it will have more missions to do." So I have to give you even more money to get a more complete game experience? No frickin way!!!
I tried playing PVP a few times and I hated that game mode. The matches seem so unbalanced that I just ended up getting whooped most of the time. Destiny would be a lot more fun if the campaign didn't feel like half a game. Apparently there was a lot more content initially planned but Activision decided to take much of it out and make it DLC. Thanks for promising a game with a rich storyline and content and not delivering!
The game is designed so that you have to play with others to be successful on the harder missions but unless you have a group of friends to play with you end up being thrown into games with randoms. And to make things even worse you can't speak to the people you're playing with if they aren't on your friends list. So that means that there is no way for you to play the game tactically. All you can do is "point", "wave" or "dance" with the others in your party.
Also after playing the game for about a month and FINALLY saving up enough money to buy an epic helmet engram, (the item used to create a piece of armor for your character), I took it to the Cryptarch to be encoded and he turned it into a helmet for one of the other classes in the game so my character couldn't even use it!!!!! The totally random aspect of item drops and loot in this game is beyond frustrating.
So after slogging through the same missions about 20 times each I finally got my character up to level 26. Then I realized that to be able to go any higher would require another month or so of doing the same freakin' thing. No way Bungie! I ended up exchanging the game for The Evil Within. Gamestop has even reduced the amount of money they will give you for Destiny to $35 because they are getting so many returned. I'm done with this game and I'm done with Bungie. If this is the way that they release games, (half a games' worth of content for full price), I'm never buying another game from Bungie again.

How are you going to review a Playstation membership card? It gets you access to PSN. That's all it does. I guess it performs its function flawlessly.

Pretty much useless

I got this camera as part of my PS4 bundle because Amazon was offering one with their bundle and I got Best Buy to match it. I was hoping that the Playstation Network had something like Xbox's Fitness program so that I can get some cardio in on days that I don't go to the gym but unfortunately it doesn't. So basically this thing is completely useless to me. I don't have any games that make use of the camera so it's pretty much pointless.

Good remote but buttons are a little small

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this remote to replace my Harmony 1000. I found that I missed the "hard" buttons of my Harmony One and hated having to always look down at the 1000 to use it, (plus I started having battery issues after having the remote for a couple of years).
This remote works much better for me. The only drawback to this remote, (and it is a fairly big drawback) is that the Play, Stop, FF and Rew buttons are so small and placed so closely together that I can't use my thumb to press these buttons as I normally would. I have to kind of awkwardly hold the remote with my fingertips and use my index finger to push the buttons. Not a complete deal breaker but I prefer to rest the remote in my palm and use my thumb. I tried the Harmony Touch to see if the button placement of that one would work better for me and unfortunately the shape of that remote is so awkward that it makes using the buttons at the top a chore so I returned the Touch and stuck with this one. Other than that the remote works great.
The Harmony software simply ported all of my devices and activities from my 1000 so that I had the remote up and running in about 10 minutes. Very handy if you are replacing a previous Harmony remote with this one.
The fact that you can also use a smartphone or a tablet to control your system is a nice little bonus but other than to test it out when I first got the remote I've never used that feature. If I had wanted to use a touch screen remote I would have stayed with the 1000.

Can it be mounted on the wall

Of course. That's where I've got mine.
