The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using.

A rock solid, advanced console gaming system!
on December 1, 2013
Posted by: HomeyGee
from Boston
Sony has learned a lot from the botched launch of the original PS3. This time out they priced the system at a reasonable $399.99. Didn't force you to buy an "NSA" edition webcam in order to use the system. Concentrated solely on the gamer experience. They didn't try to be a one stop, all purpose , entertainment center system. As a result you get a blazing fast console with the most advanced graphics processing available. When available, go out and buy one ASAP! I put a down payment on mine back in June and was psyched to pick it up on Day One! Haven't stopped playing since!
My Best Buy number: 0050253593
What's great about it: Instant on, HD Graphics, Quiet, build quality, small footprint
What's not so great: Limited games at launch. Can't transfer PS3 Digital game purchases
I would recommend this to a friend!

Microsoft Surface Tablet: Do more on the go with the productivity of a laptop in the compact size of a tablet. Create documents with Microsoft Office RT, sync files between Windows devices and video chat with friends and family. The built-in kickstand props up your tablet at just the right angle for easy viewing.

Just a Watered Down Windows 8 tablet.
on November 30, 2013
Posted by: HomeyGee
from Boston
I bought this due to the great price and perceived value. The Windows RT is a big disappointment. I needed to connect some of my devices to run a firmware upgrade. i.e. Escort Radar detector, Logitech Controller. This is not possible with the Windows 8 RT. I ended up returning the Surface and purchased the new Dell Venue Pro 8 Tablet with full blown Windows 8.1 on Black Friday for $227.00. Also bought the Mini USB to Female USB adapter and was able to run all firmware updates on my devices. The Dell Venue Pro 8 was just released and has been receiving excellent reviews. If you want windows connectivity and functionality and don't want to spend $899.99 on the Surface Pro 2 it's worth your while to take a look at the new Dell Venue Pro 8 tablet.
What's great about it: Build Quality. Great Screen
What's not so great: Limited Windows 8 Functionality with RT. Limited apps.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Guard your new gaming system with the defenses of a champion — and continue on your road to gaming glory.Like the highest-security vaults that protect valuable treasures against the hands of criminals, the Vault Case for PlayStation Vita fully arms your PlayStation Vita against potential harm. When your palms sweat with the intensity of the game and you lose hold of your Vita, or when massive textbooks bang it around in the inside of your backpack, rest assured that your Vita will live on thanks to the Vault's rugged protective shell. The Vault even has a tight rubber seal that helps keep water out and reduce the chance of damage. Custom designed to perfectly hug the contours of the Vita and officially licensed for quality, this case protects the world of your games as vigorously as you protect your journey through the levels.

Best Case on the Market for PS Vita
on March 28, 2012
Posted by: HomeyGee
from Boston
I bought this case when I picked up my Vita on launch day. I am glad I did since these are virtually impossible to find in the stores now. The fit, finish and build quality are far superior to any other case on the market. Yes it's a little bulky but it is very durable, great looking and fits the Vita like a glove. If OtterBox was to build a case for the PS Vita, this would be it! And for $19.99 it is a steal! Buy one if you can find one! Highly recommend for any Vita owner!
What's great about it: Excellent build quality and superior protection.
What's not so great: Very hard to find at the store level.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works ok using the Android version of the app to load watch faces and other apps. I would really like for Pebble to support BlackBerry again. They were originally called inPluse, and had BlackBerry support. Also these watches DO NOT come with the metal bands, ONLY the leather band.

Blackberry?

LOL! Not even Blackberry supports Blackberry. How did you manage to get the Pebble to work with a Blackberry? Might be time to move to iOS or Android my man!

By PebbleIP6Convert
Watch is great, long battery life, easy to view, can look professional and very casual - no complaints. Purchased specifically for running. Had Samsung Galaxy S4 and apps were limited for GPS tracking. Used Aerotracker for features that Runkeeper lacked. Ended up switching to iPhone 6 and first app I selected ismootherun, had all the features x 10 and also fed to Runkeeper. Able to track just about anything and have displayed on watch.

Thanks for the iSmoothrun tip!
October 13, 2014
Thank you for the tip on the iSmoothrun app. I am an avid runner and this app combined with the iPhone + Pebble is absolutely amazing! It blows the doors off my more expensive Garmin solution. I am so pleased with the Pebble Steel and the great applications that are available!

Get in the game with this Asus Designo MX27AQ monitor, which features Splendid Video Intelligence Technology, GamePlus and VividPixel Technology. Asus SonicMaster technology with ICEpower and Bang & Olufsen creates immersive sound.

Purchased this from BB after extensively reading reviews here, at competitors, and in the press. Other than some quirks in the documentation and interface guidance (which are frustrating but can be figured out) the performance is excellent all around. Lots of flexibility in configuration, very useful traffic monitoring by device. We have a large house (3000+ SF) with many barriers and the WiFi penetrates into areas for which repeaters were necessary in the past. I would strongly recommend this product - and also recommend that Asus improve its documentation.

1 out of 5Sexy form factor, but getting returned
By BillHargin
from Redmond, WA
I don't believe the 5 star reviews on this thing. IMO, it's what I would call "eye candy." It *looks* 5-star awesome, and I really like the screen size at 14", but my fan is running ALL THE TIME, and I'm getting about 2.5 hours of battery life. (Possibly less than my 1st gen Yoga from 2012.) It's usually the display that sucks up all of the power (perhaps converting it to heat, requiring the fan to run?). I'm *guessing* that the people that are happy with the battery life bought the lower resolution 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) version. I bought the 3840 x 2560 (UHD). A fan that's running all the time is the sign of a design problem, as is the 2.5 hour battery life, when 9+ hours is advertised.
The keyboard design is the worst I've experienced in the 12 or so laptops I've owned since the early 90s. The right SHIFT key isn't where it's supposed to be, so you end up arrowing up all the time. To use PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, HOME, or END, it takes two hands. The FUNCTION key is part of the process. I use those keys all the time, and this key board makes me think and use two hands for something that's much simpler on most every other laptop out there. Also, there's an extra ALT and CTRL key to the right of the space bar. (Duplicates.) That real estate would have been potentially useful for a HOME and END key. Swap the PAGE UP and SHIFT keys, and 75% of the problem is solved, I'd guess. (Only HOME and END would be a hassle at that point.) Anyway, I don't know why they didn't just use the same keyboard they had on the 1st gen Yoga. (I'd love to talk to the designers.)
They need to do a 2nd generation of this particular laptop with these problems fixed before it's worthy of more than 2 stars. I gave it one because the fan running ALL THE TIME and the 2.5 hour battery life are fatal flaws - given the other options in the market. It's unfortunate because the form factor is so nice ... I hope they do fix it.

Try updating the firmware to the latest version
February 23, 2017
Bill, I purchased the FHD version and I am getting close to 20 hours of battery life. The fan issue was immediately resolved by updating the firmware. I would suggest giving that a try.

I have a 32" Dynex tv and doesn't turn on just a red light on the left corner blinking what's wrong with it?
Do you have the correct input source selects? I.e. DVD, HDMI, cable tv? Sounds like it's looking for the video device (source).
