The new Apple TV delivers an all-new experience with Touch andSiri, powerful new hardware, and great content, games, and more on the App Store. The Touch surface on the new Siri Remote offers innovative ways to interact with your TV, creating a connected experience with a screen that's across the room. With Siri, finding something to watch is as easy as just asking. And with apps, Apple TV allows you to customize your TV for personal and shared experiences in the living room.

04/30/16 - Since I bought this thing Nov 2015; it has the worst interface I have used in a long time.
The OS and apps do not refresh. So many app issues.
The OS and apps do not refresh. So many app issues.
Movies app, my movies purchased icons do not show up (over 400 movies after 30 minutes of waiting) nothing.
TV app, takes at least 1-2 minutes to show purchases, now.
Back in Feb, I went to Apple forums and requested assistance with the TV app, nothing was showing up (I dislike comments like "mine works", great, then you shouldn't be on this forum) would not let me buy anything or my old purchases were not viewable.
Apple people are not helpful, no step by step instructions.
In the end It was Apple, that had a server issue even though the APPLE server showed it was working for everything.

Screen saver - Photos (remember how you used to just select photos and it would just show up as a screen saver, I do) Now it has to be a shared album. You can't just put pictures in your photos via iCloud, it has to be "shared"; wtf. Again, Apple Forums, they had no clue of how to teach someone to use the product. and said, "mine works".
My opinion, stick with Gen 3 if you HAVE to have Apple. I have other set top devices that work better. I play on all platforms, so I don't lean on any ONE device, but I will say I have sold off a lot of my Apple Products.
tvOS a waste of space. I use my devices, if you aren't having issues GREAT, but if you are like me and like diversity, then you would have come across situations like mine.
Wiping out devices is fine with me, I can recover quite quickly. Back Up is never in one place.

This device is great, it can do everything a basic user needs. I surf, chat, video and then some; and on this date of 11/26/14 it only costs 329.00 @ Best Buy.
This device is so perfect for the non gamers, like my mother. I can carry this thing around and not worry about damaging it.
Plug ins are limited; but this can be a good thing for people that love to click on unknown attachments or web links.
I have had this device for a week now and I have not had an issue with going to common websites.
I've watched network and cable TV/Netflix/Hulu and Amazon Prime.
And I can edit Office documents

Cons:
There is some light bleed, but I only notice it on full black screens in 4 sections (it's like lights on a billboard, but not that bright)
It's limited to google software
Keyboard doesn't light up :(

In my years of owning a hoover, I have never had one break, just wear out or gave to a friend because roommate had a vacuum. Owned 2 Hoover products for 20 years.
But this one UH70120 was cheap 100.00 bucks, after owning it for almost 18 months the belt kept coming off. Not sure if the maid was abusive of the vacuum or a bad product, but I will say since there was another person that had a similar issue, it's probably more the product.
Final decision and result, I bought a Dyson! It was time for a change, change can be good.

Simple Clear and Easy

It's a DVD player, the purchase was to match the TV to reduce Remotes sitting around.
It's clear on RCA better on composite (worst idea ever; cables everywhere) HDMI crisp as DVDs can get.
Colourful. Very little pixelation.
It's a simple box, the less gizmos the better on DVD, switch to bluray if you want more.

Not so good.

I had this item for about a month, then a rattling occurred.
I cleaned the filters are instructed and there was really no dirt.
I think it's just blows air, didn't really clean, there was still the same amount if dust in the room.
Do not buy this product.
I switched it out for the IONIC PRO TURBO AIR PURIFIER, it cost a little more, but it's a much better product.
There isn't as much dust anymore.

It's good clean fun. Can't go wrong if you haven't played the other Lego games. Play as heroes or play as villains.
Not much challenge, but it's entertaining.

I need to know about 110v and 220v. compatibility?
Last week I bought a new PS3 (80) at best buy. the thing is, it was a gift for someone in chile, and our v. is 220, while american v. is 110. the console says it works with 110v. but theres a rumor going on, that explains sony made the console with both 110v. and 220v. and that means no compatibility issues and just plug inn but if it does'nt it means plugging it directly would burn the wires...
so, what can I do?

I don't think it's a rumour, I did read in the INSTRUCTION MANUAL about that.
Try that.
If that doesn't work, go to the website playstation.com or get a converter.
Done!

is there an update\patch for ps3 to play region coded blue-ray movies
i was given some br movies as a gift..... only problem they were from london .... is there anything i can do for it to play those movies ..... my ps3 was bought in the u.s
I am pretty sure there are hacks, but I have NEVER hacked my systems in fear of:
Voided warranty
Damaging system
Frying something
It can happen, wouldn't recommend it, but if you must, you can Google, it's not difficult.

When PS3 will be available on stock?
Two friends are right now on Florida and I've asked them to by me a PS3. But the answer at the best by store is that the console is not available and they don´t have a date for the arrival. Can you answer me when it will be? Thank you.
I am positive the are just rebundling the product. This happened back in May of 2008 when I was looking for a PS3, they released the MGS4 in a bundle 06/12/08, just wait... Don't get shtuppt by eBay sellers.
I believe the release date for the bundle is Mid June again, but that is only a rumor.

Are PS2 games compatible with PS3 console?
I want to know if PS3 will play my PS2 games before I go ahead and purchase it.
The PS2 games that I have are compatible via software.
The newer PS3s are software compatible so not ALL PS2 games are. If you have the original 60gb PS3 then it's hardware compatible so it will play all PS2 games. PSone games are completely compatible.
Either way it's worth the buy, since it does play blu-ray.
