It's a $65 prepaid card.

Just like my other review, only this one has a set denomination of $65. Since unlimited pay as you go plans with AT&T are about this much, you should be seeing these regularly.
I will say this; I have an SE and the LTE network is through the roof fast. So worth it if you want fast service that's guaranteed unlimited for 30 days. At 22 GB a hit, you'll be hard pressed to blow through your plan on movies. So far I've only gotten down to 16 GB usage in 30 days and I watch YouTube daily.

It's a prepaid card. You can stick $5 on it, you can stick $25 on it. Not much to talk about. Takes seconds for AT&T to get the value and activate it after purchase. If you have a Go Phone plan, this is your bread and butter.

Finally an affordable iPhone!

First iPhone here, but not my first Apple Rodeo. I've have three Touches over the last eight years, and it was just time. I will always miss the anonymity of my Touch (5th Gen), but it's too far behind in the digital times.
First thing about the SE, it's boxy. I'm used to something half as thin in my left pocket. Second, it's angular. No smooth edges, this is what we cut our teeth on before glass housing became en vogue. Third, it's a phone! I'll be on the internet or blogging away, and then some random person's calling or texting me and I'm just like "thank God I didn't just post what I was thinking or texting to this random individual!" The glass has been pretty resilient on scratches thus far, not too many smudges either.
Occasionally it does things that I don't tell it to do. This is an Apple thing; basically it's Apple's way of telling us they know what we want even if we don't know. I've had no problems with my carrier service (AT&T) because I picked a carrier and phone that matched my location. It also pairs seamlessly with my Sony Bluetooth headset (MDR-XB50BS) and I like the newer iOS which is 10 point something.
Definitely a recommendation for people who don't want to kill their accounts and like the Pay as You Go. A word of caution; it's 32 GB which isn't a whole lot, and it's an A9 chip which is about three gens back due to the X.

Okay, so these gummies are just like any other AirHeads gummies, but they are sooooo good. You know why, I'll tell you why; Best Buy! You could get a couple of pounds of them at the grocery store for six dollars, or you can head on over to BB, an electronics boutique, and get some snacks! How cool is that?! 4 oz. of thrifty savings. If the tangy flavors don't make your mouth pucker, the "savings" sure will...

![Samurai Champloo: Complete Series [3 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5807/5807402_sa.jpg)
This funky release from the genre-bending anime series Samurai Champloo includes all 26 episodes of the show from the creator of Cowboy Bebop, following the story of an unlikely trio of misfits, who set off on a quest wandering the wilds of Feudal Japan on a quest to find a mysterious samurai - all interwoven with a decidedly modern sense of humor, and a recurring hip-hop theme.

Best samurai anime series, period.

Verified Purchase:Yes
From the team that brought us Bebop came an underdog series that shined brighter and longer, but somehow never got Bebop's level of following. (Probably because CN still airs Bebop on AS some 15 years later.) But Samurai Champloo is to the classic samurai chanbara genre what Bebop was to the noir genre; the pinnacle in animated form.
Set in feudal, Edo Period Japan, three unlikely protagonists are pitted together on a single quest to make contact with the samurai who smells like sunflowers. Fuu; the fetching lady in need of finding said sunflower samurai, Mugen; an overly confident mongrel who mixes wanton sword fighting and capoeira, and Jin; a defamed ronin incredibly disciplined, handsome and mild mannered. They'll travel from eastern Japan to Nagasaki, coming across all sorts of walks of life from tricks, to ronin, baseball players, Duthmen, ninja Tengu clans, oni clans, zombie clans that survive on wasabi, sell swords, hitmen, old rivals, religious cults, the shogunate, you name it. Samurai Champloo takes a page from Bebop and doesn't discriminate against people, rather it highlights their eccentricities. This is a series that puts a heavy penchant on satire and turns them into extreme cases of characterizations. That sort of hyperbole can be off-putting, but none of it is ever done in an offensive manner.
First off, this series fires on all cylinders on Blu-ray. This came out two years before the HD format wars occurred, and it looks like a recent 2017 series! Intentional thick black lines, vivid colors, every.single.scene is intentionally drawn, animated or stylized. This may be the last anime series to have been done in this fashion before full computer coloration of cels started to take hold. The animation is extremely fast paced; blink and you'll miss it. In tune with the style of the series, there's lots of youth counter culture references in Samurai Champloo. Graffiti, beat boxing, basically San Francisco urban youth are anachronistically clashed with Japan's rural undeveloped countryside. The results are sublime. Bebop mixed genres very well too, with noir, spaghetti western, space travel and jazz. In the same vein Champloo truly shines when a modern day reference is made with people in kimonos at a teahouse.
The audio is the best. Steve Blum returns as the voice of Mugen, who people will recognize as Spike in Bebop. Beau Billingslea (Jet) comes back for a stint, but the rest of Bebop's cast isn't the main voice talent. But the other voice actors make the English track the preferred option over the Japanese subs. There's two tracks; English 5.1 and Japanese 5.1, with English subtitles. Innately, there are the English subs 1 which will display when there are Kanji or Katakana writing. The menu is very well done and non-obtrusive. I have the Anime Classics edition which has a slimmed case, one wing and three discs. Comes in a slip cover.
I simply cannot recommend this series enough. It's tough to catch lighting twice, but Champloo did just that. Scratch that. Champloo stuck a level 5 twister in a bottle with said lightning, and if you like Bebop, Ninja Scroll, Afro Samurai, or other works with stylized combat and bent over comedic moments, you'll adore Samurai Champloo. It is an essential series, even for non-anime fans.

Play as your favorite hero with The Legend of Zelda video game for the Wii U. Fans of the old NES game can revisit the original Legend of Zelda to gather the eight pieces of the Triforce once again. Set out on original quests as Link in The Legend of Zelda video game.

If there's DLC for this game, you won't need it. Tendy keeps dropping little hints about the Season Pass, and new items like the Korok Mask or Tingle Suit coming in the fall, but this game is loooooooaaaaaded with content. It took me nearly two months to visit all the provinces and unlock most of the shrines, by that time my eyes were swollen red!
This is a landmark in videogame making, and has been reported by sites like IGN, it is fully engrossing. If you've been leering away from games for some years, BotW WILL bring you back around. Every screen save gives you a lush landscape horizon shot that just blows all others out of the water. Fun puzzles, remarkable NPCs, great costumes, endless items, fully mesmerizing battles, BotW has blown the market wide open for new Open World entries. Do not pass up this title. It is definitive. Absolutely recommended.

![Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete Second Season [5 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/d010f777-532b-47fa-a8fb-364ef6cbe776.jpg)

Just like the first season, except about three times longer. This one spreads itself a little thinner by adding quite a few other characters to the mix, but it still has the same level of "we need to be on the move and aggressive all the time against the machines" the first season had. My favorite addition is Garbage's Shirley Manson. Yes, Shirley Manson (I'm only Happy When it Rains, Stupid Girl, Paranoid, Magnetic) is a guest star in the second season. And she plays it up quite well.
Again, if there's any justice in this world this series will return before actors start passing away or just getting too old. I know I sound like a Firefly fanatic, but Sarah Conner Chronicles is yet another example of why they need to drain the swamp at Fox. Great picture, great sound, great track, great cast, SUPERB plots, great show. Lots of extras, and the menu is confusing like the first season. Didn't need the cancelation. Recommended on Blu-ray, accept no substitutions.

Three great Pokemon movies in one limited edition collection on Blu-ray. In Pokemon: The First Movie, the lab-created Pokemon Mewtwo wreaks havoc among the "pocket monsters". In Pokemon: The Movie 2000, Ash, Misty and Tracey venture to Shamouti Island, only to encounter rare new Pokemon friends.

To be the best, like no one ever was...

It's time to step back into time for a minute, when a craze rocked childhood harder than Barbie or G.I. Joe. 1998 hit like a nuclear truck filled with bricks when Pokémon took over the globe. Pokémon GO may have been a hot popcorn f*rt in comparison, but all the things that made the original craze epic still hold up very well in 2017. So here's the first three movies to remind you of a time when Charizard and Mewtwo rivaled for the crown of baddest boi in the sandbox, let's go from worst to best.
Pokémon Movie 2000 - OK, so this is probably the second worst movie in the entire franchise. The premise is two sentences, the antagonist is boring, the featured Pokémon are the birds (boring), Lugia doesn't hold a candle to Mewtwo, it's short, the animation is REALLY meh, Pokémon 2000 is a dive. If you bought this on DVD, I feel bad for you. It's purely filler in this set, but it's there. Two stars, mainly because it's got the old team and I'm feeling generous. **
Pokémon 3 - This is an excellent addition to the movie universe, and one of the best animated out there. This is one of the ones that was still cel-shaded before Project Pikachu transitioned to computer shading, and it is remarkably well down. The third act is very dark (color wise) and just about everything casts a shadow. Crystals, faces, Pokémon, everything is well shaded. This entry blows the second movie clear out of the water. It also has a touching story behind it involving a little girl trapped in a desolate crystal world with the memory of her father brought to life by the Unown in the form of the legendary beast, Entei. Yes, you read all of that correctly. Fans of the Legendary Gerbils will be well at home with this movie. The finale also includes a fan favorite in one of the franchises most epic battles. Fantastic movie and reason to own this Limited Edition set. Eight stars. ********
Pokémon The First Movie - This is probably why you eyed the Blu-ray set, and it is the exact same movie it was in 1999. The first movie is part Akira, part clone wars, part mock death, part feels. It takes it's time with its set up, it's antagonist is none other than the crown king of genetic monstrosities turned sympathetic antihero (the best kind), this is the first time fans got to see a lot Pokémon they hadn't aired in the show yet, Pokémon the First Movie is a gem. Did you know that Christina Aguilera and Baby Spice helped with the soundtrack? I didn't know that until the credits. Very well animated and voiced, funny parts, parts with intrigue, between the third movie and the first movie this set gets a five on BB from me. Nine point nine-nine stars from me (Rise of Darkrai will always be my favorite at 10). *********
There's some caveats to this set. There's no Japanese audio track, and there's no subtitles. There's no special features, and there's no Pikachu shorts. Maybe Viz Media didn't obtain the rights to those, I don't know. Each movie is on its own separate disc, and the set has no inner "page" in its steelcase; two of the discs are staggered on the right side. Still, it's the absolute best the first three have looked and probably will look for years to come. As more of these movies make their way to Blu-ray we're reminded of what made us fall in love with the franchise in the first place. A good pick for kids, dads, moms, the whole family.

Buy this if you want to live...

Something weird happened in the late 2000s. Terminator had a sort of short lived Renaissance. But rather than continuing James Cameron's heralded legacy, they split a TV series that ignored the 3rd movie, and made a side movie that ignored just about everything numerically canon. Enter the Sarah Conner Chronicles.
Lush, full screen, and bursting with some of the better CGI to come out in a series, TSCC comes blazing at you the moment you flip in the Blu-ray. This was released in Blu-ray's early prime, and in my opinion this shows the best of the media format. Like a lot of Warner's other shows and movies it starts off automatically. It also has a confusing menu scheme, but we're used to that at this point.
The cast is A-list for TV. Headley (GoT, 300, Dredd) has proven to be a marketed star on silver and TV. If you don't know who Dillahunt (No Country for Old Men, Looper, Winter's Bone), is by now you've been under a rock. And the Mayhem Guy from the insurance commercials is a regular in this show. They all support John Connors (Thomas Dekker), a young Connor who is balancing adolescence and growing into a military strategist and figurehead for the rebellion against Skynet.
The pacing and theme is very similar to the beginnings of both Terminator and T2. Rather than relying on the blue atmosphere and 4 beat pulses like in the movies, it is predominantly day shots and incognito T-800s running around LA blending into society. That is to say, its exactly like the original movies and the protagonists finding out who the enemy is by being deceived at first.
In the very first episode the team is joined by a turned female T model (played by Summer Glau) who adds a much needed young powerful femme fatale element to the show, and even a strange potential love interest to Connors. This would not be the first time that the series has dabbled in the cyborg to human love angle as T2 had Schwarzenegger become a parental figure to John.
What trips me up about this series is its reliance on the original two movies and keeping within canon while still delivering wham episodes. How Fox managed to cancel the series is still beyond me, but they pulled this stunt on Firefly, Family Guy, Almost Human, so many incredible shows that at his point we can't take it personally. They also let American Idol run for 15 seasons. :/
Don't take my biased review too seriously, but definitely give this long lost gem a try. The second season gets even more crazy when the singer from Garbage joins the cast and the machines crank things up to 11.

Make hands-free calls and listen to music with these Sony wireless in-ear sport headphones. The wireless design frees your range of motion, and the microphone makes conversations more convenient. Listen to music for over 8 hours on a single charge with these Sony wireless in-ear sport headphones, which are moisture-resistant for use during strenuous workouts.

Best on the market overall.

I've had eight sets of headphones since I got my first iPod Touch in '09, and two of those have now been Bluetooth. These XB50BS phones are all you'll need for gym, Starbucks, running, work, anything, and here's why.
The standard is the latest Bluetooth 4.1 w/ 12mm drivers and 4 - 24,000 Hz range. That's immense. The bass is the strongest I've heard on any Bluetooth device and are even lower than some corded sets. They're comparable to the newer Apple headphones for lows, so they definitely have that extra baseline. I can still hear trebles and highs, so the range isn't skewed to the low end. Granted, it's Bluetooth so when you have them paired and not listening to something, you're going to hear a little feedback from the receiver picking up the signal.
When these get paired, turned on, or in sync mode, a female voice will call over telling you what stage you're in. This is convenient as my last Sony set only made beeps at different lengths. I don't believe there's a language feature for this, so it defaults as English. The buttons are on the right side's posterior edge. There's 3 buttons; one is for power/pause/pairing/call receiving. The two other buttons are for track skipping and volume control. Holding down the button for 2 seconds allows you to skip a track, pushing it repeatedly (or once) changes the volume. Obviously these are <- and ->. This is pretty standard, but I did notice I cannot "scrub" a track, i.e. fast forward/rewind during playback. The sides are soft vinyl, and the charging port is also located on the right side.
The ear pieces are becoming even more complex these days. You have SS, S, M, L for silicone nipples, and this set also has two different silicone inserts for pseudo intra-aural stability. They take some used to placing in the ear, but they keep the buds from spinning. This set is the most noninvasive I've had seeing as it's a chord and two earpieces that are relatively innocuous. So you won't have to worry about "popping" the buds out of your ears with the chord inadvertently. Also, because they're silicone buds, ambient sounds go waaaaaay down. I can listen to them in crowded rooms as they phase out a ton of side conversations, even on lower volumes.
I haven't tested for battery life or water resilience, but it's raining right now and they're doing fine. You can't douse them in the pool. Battery life is rated for 8.5 hours, but I never listen to music for that length of time. This set does not come with a nice little polyester pouch to carry them in, and the micro USB charging cable is two feet long. You need your own comp. or USB wall plug to charge them. Sony has so many headphones in circulation that they're trimming the fat on accessories.
I earnestly recommend this set right now. Not only are they an improvement on later models, they're just about everything you'd look for in a convenient package. Great audio, easy interface, physical stability, innocuous, relatively rugged, and of course affordable. Pairing with my Gen V iPod Touch took six seconds. Highly, highly recommended.
