This is a good looking cover and functions to protect as well as provide two options for stand-alone hands free viewing (horizontal, vertical). Also, has a magnetic cover for automatically waking up or putting your tablet into sleep mode. Price could be cheaper though.

Amazing Tablet at a Great Price!
on March 1, 2018
Posted by: Spectator1975

Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this on a Black Friday sale for less than $50. It does just about everything. Play games, internet surf, create documents, read books, takes pictures/videos, streams music and movies in HD; it evens talks to you with the Alexa feature. Expandable up to 256gb of memory. Very fast and reliable tablet. For the price, you will find no equal. I haven't even scratched the surface with everything that it can do. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the camera is only a 2mp resolution; which is surprising, considering they bothered to put a HD screen on the tablet.

Bad Boys I and II are featured in this special digitally enhanced collection. Former video director Michael Bay had his first big hit with the 1995 action comedy, which also returned producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson to the big-budget, high-violence movies that they successfully churned out in the '80s. Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are two Miami cops who watch as 100 million dollars in heroin, from the biggest drug bust of their careers, is stolen out of the basement of police headquarters. This puts them hot on the trail of French drug lord Fouchet (Tchéky Karyo), who leaves a trail of bodies in his wake and only one witness, Julie Mott (Téa Leoni), who quickly teams up with our heroes. In the 2003 sequel, Burnett and Lowrey have been assigned to head up a task force to investigate the illegal trafficking of ecstasy into the city. They discover that an underground gang war has been instigated by drug kingpin Johnny Tapia (Jordi Molla). In order to cut off the flow of the designer drug, they have to take down Tapia.

Ghostbusters: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson star as a quartet of Manhattan-based "paranormal investigators". When their government grants run out, the former three go into business as The Ghostbusters, later hiring Hudson on. Armed with electronic paraphernalia, the team is spectacularly successful, ridding The Big Apple of dozens of ghoulies, ghosties and long-legged beasties. Tight-lipped bureaucrat William Atherton regards the Ghostbusters as a bunch of charlatans, but is forced to eat his words when New York is besieged by an army of unfriendly spirits, conjured up by a long-dead Babylonian demon and "channelled" through beautiful cellist Sigourney Weaver and nerdish Rick Moranis. The climax is a glorious sendup of every Godzilla movie ever made-and we daresay it cost more than a year's worth of Japanese monster flicks combined. Who'd ever dream that the chubby, cheery Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man would turn out to be the most malevolent threat ever faced by New York City? When the script for Ghostbusters was forged by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, John Belushi was slated to play the Bill Murray role; Belushi's death in 1982 not only necessitated the hiring of Murray, but also an extensive rewrite. The most expensive comedy made up to 1984, Ghostbusters made money hand over fist, spawning not only a 1989 sequel but also two animated TV series (one of them partially based on an earlier live-action TV weekly, titled The Ghost Busters. Ghostbusters II: Ivan Reitman's sequel to the phenomenally successful Ghostbusters is looser and more self-assured than the original. The film opens with a title reading "Five Years Later" and finds the ghostbusters living in hard times. A restraining order has forbidden the boys to partake in paranormal warfare, and as a result they have had to seek other lines of work. Ray (Dan Aykroyd) and Winston (Ernie Hudson) spend their time performing at children's' birthday parties, and Egon (Harold Ramis) is busy conducting experiments investigating the effect of human emotions on the environment, leaving ghostbusting behind. Venkman (Bill Murray) and Dana (Sigourney Weaver) have split up. Venkman now hosts a local cable show called "The World of the Psychic." Dana, now divorced and the mother of a little baby named Oscar, works as an art restorer in a museum -- and this is where the plot kicks in. While Dana is restoring a portrait of a 16th-century tyrant by the name of Vigo the Carpathian, the portrait becomes hexed. The evil Vigo wants to return to life by taking over the body of Dana's little child. Vigo has enlisted Dana's boss, Janosz Poha (Peter MacNicol), to compel Dana to cooperate. Soon dirty sludge and slime flow through the streets of Manhattan, and the ghostbusters have to reunite to save the city from a funky paranormal evil.

All three films are done with the very unique style of "Blomkamp's" vision. Great stories and action executed with the best actors and direction. Elysium and District 9 are outstanding; Chappie isn't my favorite, but it's still done very well. Bought this nice little box set on sale for about $8.

Well done action movie with great script and cast. Great use of color and lighting themes to offset the sterile grey, black and white environment. Great music soundtrack that plays well with the scenes. Bought this on sale for about $5 on Black Friday. Highly recommend!

Worst Transformers Film Yet
on January 26, 2018
Posted by: Spectator1975
from Pacific NW
Verified Purchase:Yes
Where to begin... Storyline was erratic and didn't mesh well with the previous films. Pointless characters added to the film. Terrible scripting and long-winded rants to nowhere. In a word: Disappointing! I think I paid $5 for this on sale. Don't waste your money.

Great storyline and amazing to have both new and old casts working together. The "Rogue" Cut is definitely superior to the theatrical version; but you get both with this release. Paid $3.99 on Black Friday sale. Highly recommend.

I am completely new to Tablets. After I remove it from the box, how do I make it work?

At one end of the tablet you will see volume buttons, a headphone jack, a power jack and the power button. Hold down the power button until you see the screen flash and hear the amazon chime. It then will begin loading its setup instructions. From there, just follow the screen by screen instructions to personalize your tablet. It will give you tutorials as you go from one feature to the next; which you can also access later once the tablet has been setup. If the tablet does not turn on at first, you may need to charge it up or contact customer service for other options.

Only at Best BuyInsignia™ chest freezer: Store plenty of meats, vegetables and more in this chest freezer, which offers 5.0 cu. ft. of space and a removable storage basket for flexibility. The mechanical controls offer simple adjustments.
 

I live in Dallas Texas where the temperatures get up in the triple digits can I store this freezer in the garage ❓

I guess that all depends on how hot your garage gets. This is a very sturdy and well-constructed freezer that works great, however the temperature limitations listed by the manufacturer say that it can be used in areas that get down to -4 degrees and as high as 109 degrees. You may want to check your garage with a thermometer first.

which is better for playing games 160g 250g or 500g

The PS3 system itself has the same processor in all 3 models; so the gameplay will be the same. If you just plan on buying the physical game at the store, then you would be fine with one of the lower capacity hard drives. However, If you plan on downloading a lot of games, demos, movies, music and/or photos to your PS3 system hard drive, then you probably want to go with the largest hard drive available; which is the 500gb.

PS3 - Call of Duty Ghosts Season Pass

How come I can't buy this online?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ps3-call-of-duty-ghosts-season-pass-ps3-digital-download-add-on/1000004045.p?id=1000004044&skuId=1000004045
If your still looking for the season pass, don't bother with the digital download. Buy the Prestige edition of Call of Duty Ghosts. It comes with the steelbook game, nylon wristwrap, 1080p HD tactical camera, 4 DLC maps & the season pass. Its on clearance right now, but here's the best part. Do what I did and have them price match it for $12.97 against Gamestop. Much more bang for your buck! Hope this helps.

Cables

Does this come with all the cables needed to hook it up? Are there any extra cables that i might need?
Thank you
This TV has many options to connect to on the back; but, if you are hoping to utilize the HDMI signal to your TV, for best quality & clarity, you will need to purchase a HDMI cable separately. Price varies greatly; as does the brand and length of the cable. There is always one on sale somewhere. The one I currently recommend is on clearance for $1.99
