Better than the original!

The blu ray version looks great! They cleaned the film frame by frame and did some color correction to Hot Rod so he looks the way he is supposed to. They say you can see details that were not picked up during original film projection. This is described in the bonus area about the restoration process and conversion to 4k. Apparently it was originally made in 6k, so 4k was no trouble at all!
It definitely takes me back to seeing it in the theater. While I think Hasbro and the writers should have made some different choices, the first 30 minutes are amazing, and the ending as well.
If you ask me, Optimus Prime should have lived and simply been repaired and upgraded to become Ultra Magnus. Hot Rod becoming Rodimus was cool, but Rodimus looks like a futuristic Winnebago, that should have been a cooler design. They killed off the original autobot line to sell us Arcee and Springer-- not cool. Also the junk planet and sharkticon planet scenes were just weird. But the new decepticons were cool, Cyclonus and Galvatron. So they killed the entire line and we only got 4 cool characters, Hot Rod, Blur, Cyclonus, and Galvatron. Scourge is a hovercraft? Might come in handy when huntin' for gators. Else it looks weird flying in space.
But the action, art, and animation are awesome. I miss hand drawn and will always like it better than computer animation. I liked that the movie was dark and appreciate it more as an adult. But it could have been even better.
Also, you definitely do get a digital version when you buy the blu ray. It works with iTunes, PC, and Mac. Someone on here said you don't but he is mistaken.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent All Around!

I spent a lot of time at the store comparing screens. I walked in with the intention of getting a 40" Sony Bravia since it's supposed be a high quality name. However, the Bravia had an issue with displaying the color known as "black". When I saw all of the screens side by side, the Samsung seemed a cut above the rest-- clear and great color quality.
The salesman told me this J6200 model had just arrived about a month ago. When I saw the sale price, I decided to go with this Samsung. I made the right call, it is excellent!
You can customize the picture any way you want. The sound is great for my normal sized living room, I do not feel the need to get a sound bar at all. It doesn't have that horrible "fuzzy" sound when you turn the volume up like a lot of TV's do. And it doesn't blast music compared to the talking. There is a volume leveling option to keep everything at the same volume, I love it.
The built-in Netflix is great. I had to do a software update the first time I plugged it in-- I recommend selecting Yes when you are asked to do this. It solved issues some people were having with Netflix at first. It's working great now and you do NOT need to re-login to Netflix every time you use it. Everything works great.
It has a "sports" button on the remote to switch to sports mode when watching a game. This gives a brighter look and higher volume in one touch. You can also pick a "movie" mode which I use most of time, and a standard energy saver mode which supposedly only costs $7 per year on your energy bill if you use this.
You'll want to turn off that "MotionPlus" or "ClearMotion" feature in the picture settings, that's what people call the Soap Opera Effect. I turned it off immediately and it looks great now. (Most people hate this feature, it looks so strange. I wish manufacturers would have it off by default)
To sum up, great picture, colors/blacks, options, smart hub/netflix, and sound. A totally customizable picture. What more could you ask for? Especially for under $500. This is an excellent deal!

SynopsisYou hurtle down the field, cleats barely digging into the dirt — almost running on air. Between your lightning-quick feet, the ball moves in perfect unison with your body. As one unit, you pivot left — eking past the limbs of defenders, then dive right — just avoiding a pummeling collision and break away — sprinting, flying down the open field. This could be the break to thrust your team into victory and you into legendary status. Only you could pull off a maneuver quite like this. Your skills are in place, your talent is pure — can you blast the ball past the keeper and capture glory?When you lace up your cleats in FIFA Soccer 11, you step into the shoes of soccer greats with more realism and more dead-on accuracy than ever before. Dribble, pass and score in the exact style of the player you're emulating — and even celebrate like him when it's all over, thanks to the all-new Personality+ feature. Maneuver tight turns and dribble through defenses like Barcelona's Iniesta; deliver creative passes like Real Madrid's Kaka, and anticipate offensive attacks like Juventus' Chiellini. Advances in controls, AI and realism mean swift passes, new pass types, gritty 360° collisions and a new goalkeeper intuition factor. Create electric tournament experiences of your dreams as you craft your own teams, customize crowd chants and even hear your name announced over the speakers. Get in on the action online, fight to rise to the top of leaderboards and compare stats with your friends. How will your personality shape your soccer legacy?

A well-made game!! Great realism!

This game plays great. It looks great and feels so good to score a goal!
If you play against others online, it's about as challenging to score a goal as it is for the pros. The gameplay and scores are very realistic and you must earn most goals.
Playing the computer is easier and a great way to develop your skills. But I'm sure there's a way to make the computer play harder too, I'm still learning the game.
You can also choose the view angle at field level or the more typical overview. They have practically every team and player in the world, and you can play against others online if you want.
You can also listen to professional British commentating while you play, they actually comment on your play action.
You can learn many moves if you want, or just stick with basic passing and shooting.
Cool music as well, but you can mute the music and commentating if you prefer. Great passing action and well worth the money. I've never really been into soccer, but this game is impressive and fun.
What's great about it: As easy or complex as you want it, realistic game play.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Which ps3 games are compatible with the new motion controller? and which is the best of those games?

I think there are only about 16 games out for the Move now, but plenty more are coming.

I got "The Fight", it's great if you're into boxing. I've done a bit of boxing and the game is real workout and is really accurate to your actual punches.

There is a gladiator type game that came with the move, along with beach volleyball. Those are good too. But it just came out and I think it will surpass the wii for cooler more grown up games as more games are released.
