Looks Awesome!

I was able to see some live game play of Yoshi's Wooly World. The game looks amazing and plays really smooth. Graphics with incorporated yarn/string theme has almost 3D look to characters and certain parts of game play. Game itself seems similar to SMB U, Rayman and some cool twists that will make the game unique.

Best Co-op game I have played for a while

I have played the story a few times on co-op and me and my friend are still entertained with it. Usually after a play through or two, we move on to something else. This game has managed to keep us interested for a few play through's and I see a 4th in the near future. You spend your time leveling up, gaining xp, going on missions. You get to upgrade your armor, weapons, etc.. as you go. The co-op is setup to allow you and your friend to always remain at the same point. Example: if you turn in a mission your friend also gets the turn in, same works for you when they turn it in. The best part is the different weapons and pick ups as the guns get pretty insane the higher level you get. I would suggest picking this up if you are looking for a good co-op with the a high replay value.
What's great about it: The Co-op was a blast
What's not so great: Nothing

I got the pair for my two rear channel surround sound for a 5.1 setup. I have them setup with the Energy CF-70's for the fronts, CC-10 for the center & ESW-C10 for the bass. This setup is absolutely amazing! I have had many surround setups over the years but what I have put together now takes it to a new level. I recommend any of the models I mentioned but the CB-20's could be used in many applications.
What's great about it: Compact with full sound
What's not so great: Nothing so far

Far Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter set on an island unlike any other. A place where heavily armed warlords traffic in slaves. Where outsiders are hunted for ransom. And as you embark on a desperate quest to rescue your friends, you realize that the only way to escape this darkness — is to embrace it.

An Excellent Addition To The Far Cry Line Up

A huge, beautiful and great, living world with many of things to do besides the very well executed missions. While Ubisoft tried to make their previous installment Far Cry 2 immersive it almost went controversy and a little too realistic. Jamming guns, a lack of hud mode and an overall lack of gameplay features drive you away from the experience. In Far Cry 3, things have changed. With the new introduced RPG elements, abilities to craft and the ability to use stealth against your enemies, it actually became lots of fun to travel instead of frustrating. Far Cry 3 offers us what the openworld genre is supposed to offer, while the previous installment was good, it lacked many things that other openworld games had to offer. Besides the addictive singleplayer campaign, there's also a little uninspired, but yet so fun multiplayer with a huge map editor

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is a first-person shooter (FPS) that revolves around unique gameplay that propels the Call of Duty franchise into a world of future warfare and back again to the modern era. The game is a sequel to the 2010 release, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and features returning Black Ops characters Sgt. Frank Woods and Agent Alex Mason, joined by a wealth of new characters.To understand the future, you must understand the pastPushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops II propels players into a near future, 21st-century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare between old and new foes. In this conflict, the mechanized creations of men reign supreme, facing off against each other as their creators stay safe and unconflicted, and in the process grow ever softer. In this scenario an important question will be asked: what happens when enemy steals the keys? To understand such a possible future, you must understand where you have been.Players of Call of Duty: Black Ops II gain an understanding of this and more through the game's additional timeline set in the late Cold War era of the 1980's. Within the campaign story, which spans these two eras, players will see familiar faces such as Alex Mason, his son David Mason, and Sgt. Frank Woods. Linking these together will be the rise of another player in the conflict, Raul Menendez.

The game is extremely weak, repetitive. The campaign is awful, the multiplayer is boring, every year a Call of Duty game is release and every year it's basically the same thing: tedious and awful.
What's great about it: Not Much
What's not so great: It's The Same Game....Again

An Excellent Addition To The Dead Space Line Up

If you enjoyed the previous Dead Space games, you'll be sure to enjoy Dead Space 3. The most polished, well-paced entry in the excellent sci-fi horror series yet. Bringing a friend along for two-player co-op is a blast. Snow crumbles beneath Isaac’s boots, necromorphs are disgustingly detailed, and the backdrops are stunning. Solid voice acting sells the drama, and the cries of enemies are appropriately unsettling. The new weapon-crafting system and roll dodge make it easy to play the way you want to play. The environments are moody and the gameplay is without a hitch. This is one of the best horror games I’ve ever played. A fantastic game.
What's great about it: Online Co-op has been a blast

It's good but better on PC

Overall, the game is good and if you only game on a console, I would suggest picking it up and playing it through. If you have the option to game on the PC, I recommend picking this up for the computer. The graphics on the PC (with the right video card) are nothing short of Amazing! Perhaps my review is not the same as others as I have had the opportunity to see this game on a solid built gaming PC. After seeing it on the computer and going back to the console version, it's like watching something in HD and going back to SD. The game makers put a ton of time into the details and graphics which unfortunately are lost on the console version.
What's great about it: Story line keeps you interested
What's not so great: Graphics are sub par compared to PC version

Problems right away!
on February 21, 2013
Posted by: ZacR
from Florida
I purchased these on an impulse buy when I saw how much I could save by picking these up refurbished. Once they arrived, everything looked perfect. Nice solid plastic case for packaging and all the hardware seemed durable and comfortable. Once I hooked everything up, I ran into two issues. First, trying to chat wireless on Xbox live. I followed the directions several times in attempt to sync the Bluetooth dongle with the controller and headset. I could never get them to connect and I promise you I tried for a long time and read the directions and forums. Second, when I powered on the headphones they would always have a buzzing and clicking sound for about 2-3 minutes. After that it would go away and the sound was excellent. I found out later that sound was due to the 2.4 ghz frequency that these run on. Several other electronics and most homes use this same frequency and the end result is interference. I ended up returning these and picking up the black ops 2 tango edition. I paid 299 but Bestbuy just dropped the price by $100, now they are 199. Thankfully, I was able to receive price match and get my hundred bucks back. At this point, for 30 dollars more I would definitely pick up the black ops 2 tangos brand new. They run on 5.8 ghz which means little to no interference problems.
What's great about it: They would be amazing...if they worked properly
What's not so great: The xbox 360 wireless chat feature wouldn't work
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Expand your DVR storage so you can record more of your favorite TV shows. Or, transfer and store videos from your compatible camcorder to free up space for more recording. Connect the drive to a game console, Blu-ray Disc player or media player, like one from the WD TV family, to smoothly stream video to your big screen TV. It's the perfect solution for your video storage and playback needs.

Great addition to my DVR
on January 7, 2013
Posted by: ZacR
from Florida
This unit does exactly what it's supposed to do. It was simple to hook up. Locate the add external hard drive feature under options on the Verizon Fios DVR and just follow the on screen instructions. I had it up and running in 5 minutes. One thing to know is once this is hooked up, it will only record to the extender and not the DVR. So you should try to fill your space on your DVR and then hook up this unit so you don't have wasted space left on your DVR box. I would of given it 5 stars but the price is a bit high since you can buy an external 2 TB for the same price and you only get 1 TB with the extender. Overall I am thrilled with the purchase and my wife can finally stop telling me to watch my shows and delete them to make room for her stuff.
What's great about it: Easy to setup, does what it's supposed to do.
What's not so great: A bit expensive since you can buy a 2TB external HD for the same price

awesome game but dont get it
By sjb1805 from NY
The game is really fun to play. My brother had a copy with a scratch on it and my xbox wouldnt read it. Finally after several attempts i went to best buy and bought my own. After using it for a day i got the red rings of death meaning my xbox has officially died. Its your choice to take the risk, will it work or destroy your 300 dollar console, assuming you have the cheap one

Does Best Buy sell any decks that can be linked/tied into my G6's engine oil gauge and/or external thermostat?

I've got a '06 Pontiac G6 with a stock deck. It's the same deck that was placed into many Grand Am, Grand Prix & G6 models. The deck has extreme difficulty reading CDs (burned as well as store bought). Unfortunately I checked with a dealership and they continue to offer the exact same stock deck and I'm assuming I'll have the same issues and they, of course, are unable to guarantee it working. The problem is this stock deck displays the outside temperature and as well as tracks your engine oil %. Does Best Buy offer anything like what I'm looking for?
Yes, you need to look at the double din head units they sell. Many have the capabilities to be integrated with your existing setup.

In purchasing this subwoofer what kind of amp would I need?

I haven't bought it yet, but I've decided I definitely want this sub I just don't know which amp to buy.
I would recommend rockford fosgate punch or kicker single or double channel amp. Minimum of 500 watts but the speaker can handle 1000+watts too. Both amps provide clean power and your sub will achieve deep clear bass with little to no distortion.
