Get ready to unlock immersive gameplay experiences with the PlayStation Move Navigation Controller. Pair the controller wirelessly with the Motion Controller to start enjoying advanced in-game character navigation. This sleek controller adds an analog stick, DUALSHOCK 3 directional and action buttons and the PS button to the PlayStation Move's control scheme. Are you ready to take your game to the next level?With PlayStation Move, your every move translates into the game with absolute precision — so whether you're spiking a volleyball, defending yourself in a gladiator duel or drawing a bow and firing an arrow, you will feel like you're actually in the game. The PlayStation Move Navigation Controller pairs with the Motion Controller to deliver advanced character movement. An analog stick, directional buttons, L1, L2 and L3 as well as X and circle action buttons add in-depth control to the PlayStation Move's control scheme. The Navigation Controller connects to your Motion Controller wirelessly, allowing you to jump right into the action without any wires tangling you up. PlayStation Move's easy-to-use controls make it accessible and fun for everyone, allowing you to immerse yourself in the action and get moving.
Posted by: XAvenger
This controller is an essential purchase if you plan on playing games like Playstation Move Heroes or action games that use the Move technology like Resident Evil 5, Resistance 3 or Killzone 3.
This Navigation controller fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and is much more convenient to use than trying to hold a Dual Shock 3 controller with just one hand. The Navigation controller is wireless, using Bluetooth, so it's not tethered to the Motion controller as Nintendo's Nunchuck is chaned to the Wii-mote.
The Navigation controller is both responsive and easy to use. This completes the best motion gaming setup around.
Essential for motion gaming.
What's great about it: Very well dersigned controller
What's not so great: Nothing comes to mind

A great way to get caught up for Resistance 3
on August 25, 2011
Posted by: XAvenger
If you own a PS3 and are planning to get Resistance 3 but do not have the first two Resistance games, then I strongly recommend getting this set.
Unlike most first person shooters, Resistance has a well developed story and playing these games gives you the chance to experience the epic struggle that is Resistance.
The games are set in an alternate history where the Human race fights a losing war against a race of monsters called the Chimera, some of the scariest enemies this side of Resident Evil. Both games deliver stunning graphics, superb control, awesome gameplay and some very cool weapons.
Resistance: Fall of Man was the best game of PS3's launch lineup and Resistance 2 is a great sequel. This set gives you both games at a great price.
Recommended for any PS3 owner who does not already have these games.
What's great about it: Two great PS3 games
What's not so great: Resistance 2 is a little on the short side

SynopsisImagine being a beautiful, delicate flower, floating serenely through the breeze. You can go anywhere you please, you're without a care. Everything you need is within yourself as you gently guide your own way and explore your inner strength. Empower your soul and find balance in your life in this moving and emotional exercise for your PlayStation 3. Flower sends you up in the air, over lush landscapes and through changing environments as you control the wind with your SIXAXIS wireless controller. This downloadable game is a soothing experience for experienced gamers and novices alike, encouraging you only to find peace within yourself.
Posted by: XAvenger
This has become one of my all time favorites.
In Flower, you are the wind and you fly over fileds and through obstacles to makeflowers bloom. To control the wind, you use the SIXAXIS controller's tilt function much like a steering wheel.
The music and the graphics are fantastic. The backgrounds could be displayed in fine art galleries and the score is much like Chopin. This is easily one of the most beautiful games ever made.
The gameplay is surprsingly addictive. You lose track of time as you play Flower and it's a great game to play if you just want to relax for a while. A game doesn't have to be white knuckle action to be enjoyable, and Flower proves this point.
It's hard to say what this game is like, because it is so different from anything else available forthe PS3.
If you own a PS3, I strongly recommend downloading this game. This deserves a place of honor in any gamer's collection.
What's great about it: Great graphics and music
What's not so great: Nothing at all

SynopsisFor 12 years you've been plagued by the nightmares and twisted memories of such a horrendous event. For 12 years, your people have lived peacefully and been prosperous, almost forgetting the details of the last great attack. But you can't forget. You remember everything. When the Professor suddenly returns to seek his ultimate revenge on your solar system, you aren't surprised. You're ready to defeat his forces once and for all and save your home solar system from total annihilation.Take part in a battle of cosmic proportions as you defend five planets from the plotting Professor in Super Stardust HD. Use your ship's powerful weapons to destroy massive hordes of physically simulated enemies — and do it in full 1080p high-definition with 3D textures for explosions, dust clouds and more. Blow up asteroids to earn weapon upgrades, new ships and more. Team up with a friend to defend the Professor's attacks in co-op and arcade modes. Are you ready to save the solar system?
Posted by: XAvenger
I love this game! Super Stardust harkens back to classic games like Asteriods!
The concept is simple. You pilot a ship over a planet's forcefield and destroy asteroids as well as alien attackers. You have three weapons, the Rock Crusher, the Gold Melter and the Ice Splitter. Stardust takes this concept and ratchets the intensity to the max. asteroids and enemies come at you from all directions and the action never lets up! You need to stay on your toes the whole time you play.
The graphics look great, Stardust has brilliant HD graphics. The controls work very well. One analog stick pilots the ship, the other fires weapons. This system is fast and responsive.
This is an essential download for PS3 owners. If you're looking for a game with more action than you can shake a planetoid at, Stardust has all the action you could ever want and more. Much more!
What's great about it: Great graphics and lots of action
What's not so great: Can't think of anything

![G.I. Joe: The Movie [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [1987]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/ffaefca5-33fc-465c-965b-5e96c3866128.jpg)

Yo, Joe!
This Blu-Ray is the movie to see if you're a GI Joe fan. This is the movie made at the same time as the animated Transformers movie but never released theatrically (I saw it for the first time on TV).
A new threat, called the Cobra-La, comes onto the scene with a plan to conquer the world and wipe out Human civilization. Along the way, we learn some of the background on the Cobra Commander and Serpentor.
The action is just as exciting as the TV series this is based on. If you like action, then you'll enjoy this movie. There are lots of thrilling (and generally non-violent) combat scenes, we get to see lots of cool action with both the characters and the vehicles.
Just about every character from the TV series makes an appearance, and some intriguing new characters are introduced as well. Both the familiar and the new characters are pretty well-developed.
The animation is of good quality, not quite Disney level but it looks pretty smooth and fluid.
The animation is of good quality, not quite Disney level but it looks pretty smooth and fluid.
The soundtrack uses existing music from the GI Joe TV sries (and a few selections from Transformers) but the opening theme is new, I love the opening for the GI Joe movie. It's the best version of the GI Joe theme in my opinion.
The HD transfer makes it all look and sound great. I ddin't notice any source material issues, so Shout Factory did a good job on the re-mastering (I'm hoping for the GI Joe and Transformers TV series to be released on Blu-Ray now).
My only complaintis the lack of extra features. It includes an art gallery and some PSA's from the TV series, but I would have liked some more background on the making of the movie. Some input from the producers and voice actors would have been nice. The Blu-Ray could also have included the original script for the movie. I would have also liked a gallery of covers from the GI Joe comics.
If you're a GI Joe fan, or you just like action movies, then I strongly recommend this Blu-Ray. A fun and exciting GI Joe adventure in a top quality Blu-Ray transfer.
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
What's great about it: An exciting GI Joe adventure
What's not so great: Rather skimpy on the extras

![Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [1984]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1980/1980673_sa.jpg)
Posted by: XAvenger
This is a classic that belongs in any anime fans video library.
Nausicaa is set many centuries in the future. A devastating war has left Earth a wastland and creatures called Ohmus have become the dominant species.
Nausicaa, the heroine, is a young princess who can communicate with animals and even calm the Ohmu, she also believes it is possible for Humanity and the Ohmu to share the world peacefully. The movie follows Nausicaa's adventure as her tiny kingdom gets caught up in a war between two empires and she tries to restore peace and bring about some kind of balance.
Nausicaa is a message movie, but it does not pound you over the head with its message as so many message movies do. Miyazaki takes a more subtle approach, which makes the movie much more enjoyable than if he'd used the 'sledgehammer' approach to getting his point across.
The animation still holds up. This is an excellent example of cel animation. All of the movements are fluid and natural looking and everything is well drawn. The mecha design is great, I love how those sky battleships look! The character designs are all engaging and distinctive looking. If you are familiar with Hayao Miyazaki's style, you know what to expect.
The Blu-Ray transfer is flawless. Everything is in clear focus and the details come out beautifully. Yet another great Blu-Ray experience from Disney.
One feature I liked in the extras was a short documentary on the history of Nausicaa. There's also an interactive portion with a simple hidden objects game based on the worlds of Ghibli films.
The English cast includes Patrick Stewart, one of the most brilliant actors of our generation. And, ironically enough, this illustrates a problem with dubbing. In this movie, Patrick Stewart is limited by having to follow another actor's performance, so it's hard for him to really put his own performance into his role. Sadly, a brilliant actor is not allowed to do his best work. If Patrick Stewart is constrained, imagine a performance from an actor who is not blessed with Patrick Stewart's talents (which, let's be honest here, most dubs do not have the best actors).
Watching Nausicaa in Japanese is much more satisfying. You get to see the movie as it was meant to be seen. Don't be afraid of the subtitles, reading subtitles and watching the movie is much easier than you think.
This is one of Ghibli's finest. If you are an anime fan, you owe it to yourself to see Nauisicaa.
What's great about it: Classic Studio Ghibli
What's not so great: English dub

![Tron [Special Edition] [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [1982]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2093/2093048_sa.jpg)
Posted by: XAvenger
This is one of my favorite movies and it's great to have it in High Defenition.
Tron follows the adventures of Kevin Flynn (played by Jeff Bridges), a young programmer who gets pulled in to the Grid, an alternate reality that exists inside of computers. While in the Grid, he tries to return to his own world. He meets a program named Tron (played by Bruce Boxlietner) and joins Tron in the struggle for freedom against the Master Control Program (MCP).
This was the first movie to make extensive use if CGI visual effects, a new technology in 1982. Back in '82, the visual effects looked astounding. The animations still look good, they look very fluid, not choppy at all. Tron still holds up, which is remarkable when you consider how technology has advanced since 1982.
The look and feel of the move is unique. The art design, lighting, costming and music create an alternate world that looks truly otherworldly. Waching this movie, you don't see a different version of our everyday world but a whole other universe.
The quality of the Blu-Ray transfer is exemplary. There were some issues with the DVD that are not a factor with the Blu-Ray. All the fantastic visuals and sounds come through in crystal clarity. This is the best Tron has ever looked.
The extras include some nice featurettes on the making of Tron, but my favorites are the early CGI films. There are several examples of some early CGI footage. They may look primitive by today's standards, but they all give an inkling as to the future potential of CGI visual effect. It even includes CGI animation the director, Steven Lindsberger used to promote his studio and was the first appearance of Tron(though in a much different form).
Tron is an amazing High defenition experience. It wa cutting edge for its day and is now an enduring classic. Essential for any B;u-Ray collection.

![A Bug's Life [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [1998]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1255/1255878_sa.jpg)
Posted by: XAvenger
This was PIXAR's second movie after 'Toy Story'.
Loosely based on Seven Samurai and inspired by the Silly Symphony The Grasshopper and the Ants, A Bug's Life chronicles an ant colony besieged by grasshoppers who steal thier food. Flik, the hero, goes on a quest to find warrior bugs to help the colony. He finds a troupe of circus bugs that he mistakes for warriors.
The animation is much improved over Toy Story, owing to the advancement of CGI technology. The movements are much more fluid and natural looking. The lighting and shading effects are also more advanced than the technology available when PIXAR made Toy Story. This gives an inkling of what is to come from PIXAR. This was cutting edge when A Bug's Life was made. The technology may be a bit dated, but the fun is not. A Bug's Life is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen and is always a pleasure to watch.
The Blu-Ray transfer, as with other Disney Blu-Rays, is exemplary! Everything is in clear focus and very sharply defined. The level of detail is amazing. Yet another flawless HD transfer from Disney.
There are some nice extras on the making of A Bug's Life, including some research footage of real bugs. It also has two great animted shorts. One is 'Geri's Game' about an old coot playing a game of chess against himself (little realizing that his opponent cheats) and the Silly Symphony The Grasshopper and the Ants which inspired the movie.
For a fun movie for the whole family, you can't go wrong with A Bug's Life. The biggest little adventure there is!
What's great about it: Great fun for the whole family

Posted by: XAvenger
This is one of the best super hero movies ever made! The Incredibles tells the exciting tale of a family of super heroes who must save the world from a would-be world conquerer. Along the way, they come together as a very close knit family.
The animation is outstanding, as is to be expected from a PIXAR movie. Everything is expertly drawn and the animation is fluid and natural looking. All of the colors are bright and vibrant. This helps to make the many action scenes even more exciting.
The Blu-Ray transfer is flawless. Everything is sharply defined and very clear. Yet another fantastic Blu-Ray from Disney.
The second Blu-Ray is packed with extras on the making of the movie and includes the shorts 'Jack Jack Attack' where we see what happened to Kari the babysitter and 'Boundin'', the story of a lamb and a jackalope.
The Incredibles is action packed and non-violent. And is the kind of movie you can watch over and over again. The perfect movie for all ages.

Posted by: XAvenger
Alan Menkin has once again proven to be a superb composer.
For Tangled he does his usual fantastic job of composing a score that creates a perfect complement to the movie itself. There are many light and bouncy tunes to fit the comedic scenes of Tangled as well as some great tunes for the action scnens and some of the more emotional portions of the movie.
This is score is Oscar worthy!

By QuoteMe
from Los Angeles, CA
About an hour into Episode II, the disc freezes a bit and seems to skip. Returned to store for a hassle free exchange. The same problem with the new disc at the exact same spot!!!! Haven't had a chance to view all the other discs but what a disappiontment. Question is do I exchange again or simply ask for a refund???? Anyone else have similar problem?

1 out of 5Good Movie If You Don't Have A Sony or Samsung
By Enchanter
from Trenton, MI
Lots of talk with the First Class movie not working with Sony. It would not work with my Sony BDP S350. Which is NOT 3D. I had to disable the internet connection "Do not allow disc to access internet" or some such. Then I had to delete the data file the Xmen movie had already installed when I tried to watch it the first time. This isn't easy either as it normally doesn't display the stored data in the setup menu. I had to do this by inserting an invalid disc. In this case the digital copy. Then I got the menu to delete the First Class data file. What a pain, I'm watching this now and it BETTER be good, lol. If your not up to this then get the DVD. Hope this helps someone.

By burrisd
from Fredericksburg, VA
As a Star Wars fan I find this a good value for the money. I have a problem with the blu-ray discs, which is in no way a fault of Best Buy. Every single disc seems to enter a pause mode during the movie and then speeds up without audio. I have to stop playing the disc and restart it again. This happens regardless of which blu-ray player I use. Other than that, I would recommend this product.
