One of Miyazaki's best!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Spirited Away is easily one of the best, if not THE best movie from Studio Ghibli. Without giving away too much, it's a about a little girl that has a incredible supernatural experience that at the end will help her mature in an unexpected way. It is loosely based on classic Japanese mythology, but presented in an easy-to-understand fashion. The voice talent is excellent -especially in english. The animation is top-notch and the music score is amazing. Highly recommended!

So hard to rate...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I decided to pick this product because I like baseball and I remember the "good old days" when RBI Baseball was a thing. So, because of the price, and the fact that I would be playing it on the go, I decided to pick it up. Well, I am having a hard time figuring out if I like it or not. On the one hand, it really doesn't look at that great. In fact, it looks barebones. The presentation is pretty much non-existent (no commentary...really??). The game mechanics are super basic. On the other hand, it is portable since I picked it up for the switch, the graphics are passable, I sometimes appreciate the lack of presentation and the mechanics harken to old-school RBI games. All of this makes a game playable in 20 minutes. So, in the end, if you're looking for a all-bells-and-whistles, high productions, simulation type of game, you'll be sorely disappointed. However, if you want a passable, quick and simple game on the go, a 1/2 or less the price than it's The Show cousin, I'd say you'll enjoy it (you must get it on the Switch, though!).

Just like the title of this review; this charger is very easy to set up and use. Simply connect the charger, place the 3DSXL (it works with regular 3DS also) in it and that's it. No clicking or snapping into place. That's it. Great for a night stand. I highly recommend it.

John Wick is a great movie that hearkens back to classic 90's action flicks that feature great fights, gun play, one-liners and an easy-to-follow plot. Grab some popcorn and watch it!

It's all about that bass...
on July 1, 2017
Posted by: insomniak1
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is going to be short and sweet. The MDR-XB50AP are excellent in-ear headphones. Although a bit heavy due to the 12mm drivers and over-sized bass port, they are actually comfortable and won't slip out easily. The cord is tangle-free and sturdy with a 90 angle connector. But that sound... That's where these babies shine. The mids are very distinguishable and the highs are very clear and not piercing. But it's all about that bass... OMG they boom. Although great for EDM or pop music, they are a pleasure to listen even for classical and live music. And for the price, they're a steal. Highly recommended -go get them!

Great coverage.

Verified Purchase:Yes
It has been a couple of weeks since I installed this wireless router. It took some fiddling getting it to run properly, but once it was working, it has been rather a good experience. The speed stays pretty high (I have 150Mbps) and have not noticed big dips below 50Mbps, even if I am streaming 1080P movies and having several devices connected or even downloading. Every once in a while I do notice some disconnects, but they happen on my mobile, so it's hard to say if it's my device or router. Still, I would recommend it based on the time I've had it so far.

Great slasher flick! I mean game!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had already big expectations because of all the reviews I've seen and read. I'm glad I waited to pick this game. Although this game may not be worth the full $60, at $20, it's a tremendous steal. That is the only reason I gave it 5 stars. At full price, it still would be pretty good at around 3.5-4. It is basically a cinematic choose-your-outcome who-done-it type of game. The graphics are very well done with believable movement and facial expressions. I will not spoil the plot save to say that it definitely involves you and gives you tense moments. There are multiple endings, so there's some replay value there. Anyway, I would recommend not letting this pass, especially at the lower price that it is now.

Must have if...
on February 14, 2017
Posted by: insomniak1
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this version simply for the space (1Tb). Although I was expecting a bump in graphics and performance quality from my original model, I have yet to be impressed. I did try a couple of titles such as Tomb Raider and Uncharted 4 as well as VR. The upgrades were very minimal and there are trade-offs such as higher graphics and physics at 30fps or less at 60fps at 1080p. The best reason to get this is if you do not have a PS4 or you actually have a 4K television. Although sadly, 4K Blu-ray is not even supported (yet?).

Works well

I decided to go with this particular printer because it's small and I don't have much space. It works well. Connectivity has not been an issue. It does print a bit on the slow side but since I'm usually not in a hurry, it's not a deal breaker. The only other thing is that I do not recommend adding too much paper to the feeder as doing so has jammed the printer more than once.

Stability and precision in a size that's just right. The Corsair Gaming MM200 Standard Edition high performance mouse mat is 360mm wide and 300mm long, for a playing area that's ideal for most games without taking up too much desk space. The cloth surface of the MM200 delivers excellent glide characteristics that allow you to execute fast swipes and pull off high-precision shots with confidence and consistency. It's optimized for gaming sensors, with a carefully-screened surface material that delivers excellent tracking.The MM200 is stable and secure. You can't afford to have your mouse surface move in the middle of a firefight, so we added a no-slip base that provides cushion with just the right amount of give. And it's made of natural rubber, so it doesn't have a harsh chemical odor.

This mouse pad is made of pretty sturdy material and the cloth surface allows for a nice gliding feeling. The size is great for playing first person shooters as you need to cover a lot of space with precision without having to pick up the mouse.

Experience the future of audio with this Samsung Atmos sound bar. The 13 speakers, 5.1.2-channel surround sound and Dolby Atmos technology provide a next-generation audio experience that you have to hear to believe. The included remote and compatibility with Amazon Alexa offer multiple options for controlling this Samsung Atmos sound bar.
Will the sound quality be affected if I place under tv on tilt\swivel wall mount instead of directly on wall or on flat surface?
The idea is that the sound is object-directional. Meaning that the speakers send the sound out so that it can bounce off the walls and ceiling and change the direction of the sound to reach your ears. So as long as you are not obstructing the sound path, you are OK to place the TV or bar however you please.

Revolutionize your cooking with this Sharp Superheated steam countertop oven. Combining the power of super-heated steam and traditional radiant heating, it crisps and browns the outside of your food while leaving the inside moist and cooked to perfection. This 1750W design requires no preheating or defrosting either. This Sharp Superheated steam countertop oven includes a broiler pan and crisper tray for easy convenience.
Has anyone tried heating/ warming up the milk? Can the mug/ glass fit in? How fast can it be? We usually heat the milk up within 60 seconds. You think this can replace your microwave?
Because of the reheating times I have experienced, I think it would take too long for a glass of milk to be properly heated. Plus, you have to use an oven-safe glass or cup and the height of the oven is pretty low.

Does anyone know if it will upconvert standard blu-rays to 4K? My Xbox S only plays standard blu-rays in their native format.
Sadly, nope. It baffles me that Sony, who actually owns 4K Blue-ray would not support it on their own console.
