I'm glad I waited to buy the Wii U. I was on the fenced since it came out but once I saw Mario Kart 8, I had to get it. Then this bundle was announced, and it was a done deal. Then the free game was the cherry on top. Mario kart is so fun. Just like the olds ones. My daughter and nieces have fun to the max. Easy set up. Except for the long update at the beginning, I had no issues. Once you register the Wii u, takes about an hr to get your free game download. Don't hesitate to buy it!
My Best Buy number: 0966199497
What's great about it: price to value ratio.
What's not so great: so far nothing. maybe the long update? gamepad battery can be better.

Great Harmony remote for the price

from West New York, NJ
I like this remote a lot but one thing I can't stand is that it reset itself randomly when I set it down. Maybe I should be extra more delicate but it's random. The overall feel is great. I would recommend if you want something cheap and easy to use but if you have the cash, get the ONE.
What's great about it: cheap, easy to set up, nice feel to it,
What's not so great: battery operated(i knew this from the start), It is very delicate, resets if i placed it harder than usual on my table

Great action movie
on December 18, 2010
Posted by: MellyMel
I was surprised by this movie. I went in thinking this is going to be be bad, but I was wrong. I had a pair of free tickets and glad I used them on this movie. I would definitely buy it on blu-ray.
Note: to skysoldier. It's not the disc thats bad, it's those samsung players. They are the worst when new movies come out. Do yourself a favor and get a Sony player like ps3 or bdp-s570.

By Towner420

The console is plastic so it doesn't have the sturdy feel of the original model. No internet capabilities so no multiplayer. This version of the wii would be better suited for younger kids that do not stream netflix or shop the Nintendo Shop. This is a definite pass.

1 out of 5mario kart 8 disc does not work
By reluctant
from glendale ca
gave in to the 10 year old nagging and got the deluxe bundle with mario kart 8. after an hour or so of setup, console does not recognize disc, fight traffic go back to store to see if they would exchange the disc, nope, part of bundle so whole thing has to be exchanged, drive again, unplug and bring it back to store for exchange, repeat the process, would not be writing this had it worked the second time.
email to nintendo went unanswered, could not find a place to email bestbuy.

1 out of 5geek squad tec very good. costumer servics sucks
By excabletec
from carson city
I ordered the sharp 50 inch led tv on 9/4. it arrived on 9/8 at 6pm via ups. I then unboxed it and attached the stand and plugged it in and turned it on. and all I saw was a black screen with a now visible crack running through it. and small color lines running verticle from the crack to the bottom of the screen. so I called the closest best buy. who told me to call the 1-800-geek squad. I called them and after being on hold for a half hour. I talked to a person about the tv. they said a tec would be out the next day between 8am and 12pm with a replacement tv. at a little after 8am the tec called and said there would be no way he could arrive befor 12pm. he got here at 1pm and looked at the set and said yes that is cracked. he did not have a replacement and that he would call it in and they would call us and tell us if the new set would be shipped to us or if they would bring one out to us. at 6pm I had not recived a call. so I called 1-800-geek squad. and was told they could not process the tecs visit till the next day and I should call back the next day to see if they had made a rma number for me yet. this is very poor custumer service. and I will up date this after I know more. but so far I am thinking of just telling them to pick up the tv and give me my money back.

The resolution on this tablet is terrible compared to many others. Save your money and bump up to the Samsung S2.
(1024 x 768) resolution - give me a break, that's terrible by today's standards. The Tab S2 has Super AMOLED touch-screen display with 2048 x 1536 resolution. That's the one to get.

5 out of 5Excellent speaker, especially for $50 now.
By Brian1118
from Paramount, CA
At the original $100 MSRP, I wouldn't have bought the level mini over a JBL Flip or Charge or the Sony X2 or X3 series, but at half the price, I feel that it's THE best performing speaker you can get for $50.
The only caveat is that it's not dust or splash resistant, but since I only use it indoors, I don't mind that. It also has a dedicated app you can get on the Google Play store (The "Samsung Level" app) which allows you to see how much battery life is left, and see and control the volume of the speaker and your phone. The app also has a built in equalizer with a lot of settings, some of which you may find useful.
As for the sound, this is a small speaker (although well built and heavy, with metal construction) that fits in one hand, but it has surprisingly good sound. Sure it won't be as loud or as clear as bigger speakers (As size matters with speakers, all other things being equal), but the bass, treble, and mids are all very good, with the bass being a particular standout.
The quantity of bass is solid, although not room filling, but the real selling point is the -quality- of the bass. It has real detail, and has enough presence to be a strong foundation to any song I play. The mids are good (although not as forward as I'd like) and voices are clear (although they can get lost in a complex mix) and the highs are good without being sharp or fatiguing.
Basically, this is a good all-around speaker with detailed, present bass. It's VERY good for the size, although the stereo separation and soundstaging isn't great, but that's because this is a small speaker with both drivers in a box together, as opposed to 2 separate speakers which you can set as far apart as you want to get real stereo imaging.
Basically for $50 I cannot complain and think it's an exceptional value, and probably the best speaker you can get (for sound quality at least) for this price range. This speaker has great battery life (12-15 hours I believe) and an integrated speakerphone function too, along with NFC pairing (just touch your phone to the speaker to connect, if it has NFC).
Basically, for the price, sound, and amazing number of good quality features, I feel that it's a steal at $50.

I'm not sold on this remote. I want to use it exclusively for the PS4, and every time I use it, I need to push the PS4 button. If I let it set on the table while watching a movie, it loses the PS4. So it won't work until I push the PS4 button. Really inconvenient when you need to hit pause.

No internet connection???
There is no information available about theis TV anywhere online, including on Sharp's own web site. That alone makes me wary of this set. But everything I can find about it on your site suggests it has NO internet connectivity??? How is that possible in 2014? It'd be like buying a car with no gas tank.
there are multiple TV's on the market with no smart tv or internet connection. LG just release some 2014 models with no internet connectivity. But why pay an extra $300 for smart tv when you can buy chromecast for $35. It basically does the same thing..
