This does the job connecting to 1 BT headphone. Would've been better if it can connect upto at least 2. Sound quality starts to degrade at higher volumes.

High quality controller as you'd expect from original Nintendo product. We got this for Minecraft and my boys are loving this for multi player. If you have a Wii you owe it to yourself to get a proper pad other than the usual wiimote and nunchuks.

Great reception at 40 mi out

We are about 40 mi from downtown Chicago and this antenna captures digital HD TV flawlessly on at least some 25 channels. The essential ones are looking good--WGN, ABC, etc. Surely a cable cutter and more than enough for live TV and news and some programming.

Great quadcopter!

Love the millennium falcon, it looks cool and very durable for my 7 year old pilot. A bit expensive but was able to price match and got it for $90. Controls are easy enough to get a handle, the flight isn't as stable but for the price is workable. Overall a good experience.

You take the lead as your team approaches a clean new area, free of color and chaos. With a smirk, you take it all in — you'll soon change that. Two teammates begin spraying down walls, floors, ceilings and every other imaginable surface with ink, claiming this territory as your own with a vivid wash of your colors. You and another fighter scan the area for enemies. The opposition never sees you as you sneak up and douse them in an ink bath they'll never forget. This turf is all yours — it's time to move on and paint the whole world in your team's colors.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink. Take on the role of an Inkling, a squid-like fighter ready to cover yourself and everything around you with your team's hues. Cover the terrain around you in ink to claim it, and spray walls to gain access to hard-to-reach areas. Earn high-powered super weapons by soaking your turf in ink, so you can cover your enemies in color or spray more territory. Put on your thinking cap to dream up devastating strategies, but don't forget to keep an eye on your turf — too much attention on the other team may lead to a redecoration of your own territory. Easily refill your tank or hide from enemies with just a touch of a button, or transform into a squid and dive into ink for a blazing-fast speed boost. Attack your own way with a multitude of control options thanks to the Wii U GamePad controller, including gyroscopic controls that let you look around, aim and more with precision. Band together with three friends and get online to take on other teams in four-on-four matches that will have you perched on the edge of your seat. A color-soaked battle awaits — are you ready to claim your turf?

Best game outside of Mushroom Kingdom

Top notch Nintendo games have always been from Mario World or other Nintendo characters. It's good to see fresh content and a twist to shooter games. Nintendo succeeds in rethinking the genre and making it feel like a Nintendo game. My kids love this game so much!

He's gone to dangerous lengths to reclaim justice for the fallen. He's delivered revenge where it was rightly deserved. Since the inception of the revolutionary Ninja Gaiden series, one masked warrior has stood head and shoulders above the rest. The quest to lift the deadly curse on his right arm calls to Ryu Hayabusa — and it forces him to look deeper than ever into the dark, complex soul beneath his mask. Wherein lies the boundary between the warrior and the man? Only you can decide as you wield the Dragon Sword and choose between mercy and revenge in the improved Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.Experience Ninja Gaiden 3 in even more intense, high-speed and challenging ways — on the Wii U. Sharpen the Dragon Sword, fine-tune your skills and immerse yourself in the all-new, highly evolved story that continues the Ninja Gaiden saga with even more weapons and Ninpo, a new character progression system, a redesigned battle system and the return of dismemberment. You can still count on meeting your opponent face-to-face in extremely intensified, close-combat gameplay with six weapon types and three Ninpo types, exclusive to Wii U. Wield the sword and experience the feeling of slicing through your enemies' flesh and bone — and the consequences of your actions from Karma points earned during play — with faster and more fluid action by using the touch screen of the Wii U GamePad controller. Now on the Wii U, the female ninja, Ayane, will step into the fray with her own set of exclusive chapters, weapon types and Ninpo as she unleashes her brutality on her enemies. The world is full of complex dangers, but deep behind Ryu Hayabusa's disguise, you'll discover that the soul of a hero harbors even darker secrets.

Over the top ninja action

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been wanting to try this game out but was afraid to be disappointed because I'm a fan of the game ever since it came out in NES. The last title I played was in the NDS and I loved it. I finally bought the title as it was on sale, not as great as the previous outings but still fun and challenging at the same time. Action is fast and smooth, presentation isn't lacking on an underpowered system.

I was looking for USB memory stick to just plug in the car--set and forget with MP3s on it. This is perfect as the size doesn't get in the way and doesn't cost as much. I've had PNY branded USB stick before and have yet to experience any problem with it.

Small woman/small head--will these fit snugly?

will these fit snugly?

For sure! One slight complain is how the headphone presses on the head but not a deal breaker. It is still comfortable, I've used for almost 4-5 hours straight. I'm guessing this would be just right for you...

how to update maps on nuvi 50

how do I update liofetime maps on nuvi 50
Hi,

Start with connecting your Garmin through USB to your PC. It will pop up with instructions on how to proceed--hard to go wrong with on screen step by step procedures. It will include download of the software and what not. There's an option to automatically update with new maps if available. The next time you connect your Garmin it will automatically launch the program and so long as you are online then it will be straight forward. HTH.

Featuring a 130mm wireless subwoofer, this Sony HTCT260 soundbar enhances your home theater with lush sound and heavy bass. Bluetooth capability lets you stream music from most Bluetooth-enabled devices, including mobile phones, PCs, tablets and more.
 

what will give me better sound hdmi or optical cable? is it better to hook up to reciever?

how will I get the optimum sound with the optical cord or hdmi and should I be hooking this up to my receiver and if yes what configuration should I set up?
I've been using optical, I don't see any advantage with HDMI unless you're looking to control the device too. Optical is purely digital and cheaper too, as far as I know HDMI carries analog audio.
