Been waiting for the price drop

I researched a DSLR for almost a year. When I read reviews and found it to have all the features I wanted, I jumped on it. I've had this camera for about 4 hours, and have already found it easy to use and shoots amazing video and photos. The things I wanted was ease of use for me since it is my first DSLR, flip/rotate lcd screen, bulb mode, and good movie shooting (besides the loud focus motor). You will want a mic if you plan on changing focus with video. But, this is not a "video camera" is it.
What's great about it: Quality
What's not so great: Auto focus motor is loud in video mode, you'll need external mic.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unless you hate westerns, this game is a blast. The scenery is amazing. I found myself stopping numerous times to admire a beautiful environment. Once i was looking over a ridge and a snake suck up and bit my leg lol.
Very similar to Grand theft auto, but a western theme.
What's great about it: Visuals are stunning
What's not so great: Lots of BK's online not wanting to play co-op.

No online multiplayer
on June 22, 2009
Posted by: Benjy1977
from Bellevue Nebraska
What a blown opportunity! If they had included a multiplayer option this game could have been huge, well at least as popular as Uno is. Too bad they rushed this out the door and didn't take any time to add online mode in. And they are misleading customers by putting the Live Logo on the cover. I suppose you can get updates and maybe leaderborads, I dont remember.
What's great about it: Not much

Not a good game
on June 22, 2009
Posted by: Benjy1977
from Bellevue Nebraska
For the price it should have spent some more time cooking in the programmers computers. The biggest challenge was fighting the camera angle and keeping from falling off the map. It was very frustrating. I gave up after about 30 minutes of playing this game. So, as far as length of game I gave it a 3 since I didn't get very far before I quit.
What's great about it: It's sonic
What's not so great: It was rushed out the door

Best camera I've owned.
By Indyken from Concord, NC
Can't say enough about this camera after doing a boatload of research. The swivel screen makes ALL of the difference verses the less expensive model. Can't say enough about the camera and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I don't know what how a swivel lcd screen isn't standard. The first thing I do when I camera shop is spin it around and see if it has the swivel. I won't even look twice it if doesn't.

What is wrong when the computer will not stay powered up even when plugged into the outlet?

Possibly a short in the charger cord. Or a bad battery.

How do Acer laptops compare with HP and Toshiba?

I am looking for a new computer and have never seen Acer computers. Just wondered how they compared to other brands such as HP and Toshiba.
I heard from friends that acer has had issues with quality, such as screens falling out and just random things breaking under light use. I'd recommend HP first then Toshiba 2nd. Acer I'd just stay away from.

Guitar hero disc wont work

i have gh world tour and it isnt heavily scratched and the wii reads all the other discs that are scratched more. does best buy have a resurfacing machine?
BB may want you to buy a disc repair machine.

When I have a scratched disc, I have had a lot of good luck using toothpaste. Yes, that's right toothpaste. Just take your disc to the sink, put some paste on it and use soft cloth or cottonball and starting from the center of the disk, you buff the disc outwards.
The tiny granules in the paste act like a polish and help grind down the scratches on the disc surface. Hope this helps. Try youtube as well

How Do You make gameplay videos fullscreen

I would not recommend using a camera for this. But if you only have a camera then, if you mean "fullscreen" as in not "widescreen", then you may be abble to go into the camera settings and change the format to get a "fullscreen recording resolution.
But, if you mean fullscreen as though the video is in the entire view of the camera as it records, then you may want to get a tripod and sit it as close to front and center as possible.
I would recommend using a capture card like pinnacle studios that saves the gameplay to the hard drive of a PC or laptop then you can edit it using your PC movie maker or pinnacle software. Good luck

CAN AN UNSHIELDED SPEAKER PLACED CLOSELY TO MY SONY HD REAR PROJECTION TV CAUSE A BLUE HAZE OVER THE LEFT HALF OF THE SCREEN?

I wouldn't recommend it. But I'd google your TV model and see if it is an optical block malfunction causing this problem and not the speaker causing it.
Rear projector TV's, especially sony's aren't even allowed to get store warraty's at some places because of the failure return rates.
