Several years after his last adventure, retired fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, is forced back into the world of thieves. With the stakes much more personal, Drake embarks on a globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure. His greatest adventure will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he's willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.

Looks great, but more of the same

Looks fantastic, but doesn't really add much to the franchise. More of the same as the other games. If that's what you want, then this is another great entry in the series. Many people are getting bored with it, though, so like anything else, consider your thoughts on the franchise and what you're really looking for before buying.

Best Marvel movie in a while

Really enjoyed this film. Finally! A Marvel movie that does justice to the character. Definitely NOT kid friendly, though, parents!

Dang, man. That thang's huuuuuge

This by far the biggest mouse pad I've ever used. Seems like you'd need to have the tracking speed set really low on your mouse to use this much space. I could've gotten by with a smaller pad because I only ever use a relatively small portion of it at a time. Materials are high quality, but it seems pretty typical of the kind you'll find on most pads with cloth surfaces. Overall very good, but nothing truly special beyond the size of it. Price was very fair for a name-branded item, especially considering the XL size.

Good storage size, reasonably fast

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wish it was the ultra small form factor like the ones that are barely bigger than the USB plug itself. I use it in my car and the smaller size package would work better. Those usually cost a little more than these, though, so I compromised and settled on this one. 64GB is probably more than I need, honestly, but I figured it would make it more future proof by going bigger. USB 3.0 makes it pretty fast, but not the fastest I've ever seen. Gets the job done, so it's good enough in my book!

Used this in a new Intel Skylake based system build. Installed no problem in my system. No issues at all with this unit. Only has one pair of PCI-e power connectors if that's important for you. My XFX R9 270X graphics card used both of them. You'll need an adapter (not included) if you need more for a Crossfire or SLI setup. This PSU is not a modular design, but that is to be expected at this price. Runs quiet and plenty of power connections for everything I had in my build. My only complaint is that there's a lot more 4-pin Molex connectors than I needed. All of my drives are SATA.

Good quality presentation here and a lot of content for the money. I got the older edition of this with young Anakin on The cover walking into the sunset. I'm not sure if the book inside is the same or not, but the content on the disks is identical. I wish Darth Lucas wasn't so adamant about offering the original theatrical cuts of Episodes 4-6. Docked it 1 star for that reason alone.
Also, I wish these "complete saga" things included the made for TV movies Battle For Endor and The Ewok Adventure and maybe even the Star Wars Christmas Spectactular. I guess they figure those were too embarrassingly bad to include them. Lucasfilm seems content with pretending those never existed. Indeed, many fans have never even heard of them. But those of us old enough to remember sure do...

This drive is smoking fast. My only complaint is that newer versions of Windows don't provide the option to make a new disk drive a bootable system disk when you format it. In the old days, you just need to run fdisk to setup the partition(s) and then do a format /s to set it as a system disk. That parameter no longer works with the format command either from a DOS prompt or in the Windows format utility. It's not available in the Disk Management utility either. If there's a way to do it without resorting to a third party formatting utility, I'm not aware of it and I'm a somewhat advanced Windows user. Cloning my boot disk copied all my data over but it wouldn't boot. I ended up wiping the disk and did a clean install of Windows which finally made it bootable. The I formatted the drive again and cloned my old boot disk again. That finally did the trick and allowed me to boot from the new disk with my cloned data. All this could have been avoided if PNY had included a utility to setup and clone the disk like Seagate and Wetern Digital does with their drives.

Decent for the price

This range extender had a couple modes of operation. It can be configured as a regular repeater in your existing wifi network to extend the range, or it can be used as a wireless bridge to your existing network while also serving as a wireless access point in a separate SSID. I suppose you could also use it as a regular wired switch/hub if you wanted as well. I'm using mine as a wireless bridge with separate access point SSID because it performs better that way. The reason for this is because in normal repeater mode, it will cut your overall bandwidth in half as it has to receive and then retransmit your data with the main network. Wireless bridge mode gets around this limitation, but requires yet another wifi SSID being taken up and if you have a lot of networks around you, interference can become a problem. Also, it only works well if you have a dual band router to connect it to. It uses one band to communicate with the router and the other band for the separate SSID. This is what Netgear calls their Fastlane tech.
My only complaint is that the range isn't extended as much as I'd hoped it would. The brick exterior on my house is a real killer for wifi signal broadcasts to my back yard in both 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz frequency bands. I'm getting nearly the same signal strength outside the house with or without this range extender. Inside the house, it's working well in filling in the wifi dead spots in our bedrooms.

Works well like most other Surfboard modems I've ever used. I'm getting faster than advertised speeds on my TWC service. On downsides I've had with it are that it doesn't have a built in hub/switch. It's just a barebones modem, but expected at this price. Also, the blue LEDs are very bright and light up my whole living room like a Christmas tree unless I hide the modem or cover the lights.

Typical mouse pad material. Foam rubber (neoprene?) base with a cloth top surface. Nothing too special there beyond the XL size of the pad.

Will this item be compatible with a Gateway device on a Honeywell Prestige thermostat. Home uses a Verizon mobile hot spot device as its router.

We have installed a WIFI thermostat for this customer. Customer does not have a router, but since they are in a rural area, they use a Verizon mobile hot spot device. I just want to make sure this range extender will link with the Gateway and thermostat.
It should work as long as the hotspot is broadcasting a wifi signal, this range extender should be able to connect to it. The hotspot is functioning as a router as you're explaining it and the range extender won't know the difference.

I bought some skull candy ear phones from best buy and they have been stolen. Can I replace them if I have a 2 year warranty?

It's a warranty, not an insurance policy. The Best Buy extended warranty covers breakage, either accidental or due to defect, not loss or theft. You could make a home-owner's insurance claim on it, but I highly doubt it would be worth it.

Expand your PC or Mac connectivity with this Insignia™ NS-PCH5420 USB hub, which interfaces with a single USB 2.0 port to enable connection of up to 4 USB devices. A 5V, 500 mA/port output delivers a rapid charge to compatible devices.
 

can this be used to plug printer to 2 computers to print from both?

No, this device is for connecting multiple devices to a single computer. What you're looking for is called a print server. I don't know if Best Buy still carries those or not. Some routers have this function built in. Alternatively, many newer printers support a feature called Air Print which allows any device with a wireless connection to your network to print directly to the printer.
