Theres practically NO REASON TO PURCHASE this item. ALL Flatscreen/HDTV & BLURAY player will UPCONVERT DVDs to HD AUTOMATICALLY so there is no reason to purchase this! Either get a cheaper dvd player or a bluray player :)

Happy w/Full Retail Purchase
on April 16, 2014
Posted by: Viper8828
from Allentown PA
Phone size:Just right
i decided to purchase this phone at full retail to keep my verizon unlimited plan, and also because I had bestbuy gift cards to help me lower the price (Verizon Wireless Full Retail is $599.99, where best buy has it for $749.99!!! so i had them also price match it for me)
The only things i dont like so far are all the warnings that pop up that i havent figured out how to get rid of, after the first full battery charge, it lasted me 17 hours, and there is a charging slot cover which im afraid im going to break off (there was one similar on the LG Dare I had b4 the HTC Inc 2 i upgraded from to this one)and i like the idea but they always feel very flimsy/easy to break. but i guess if it breaks off, then its just like every other phone for the most part.
and while im on the subject of the charging port, Samsung has given the phone a new USB 3.0 style charging port. It still has a regular microusb so regular chargers still work, but it also has a specialized charging port for this particular phone so to keep the battery things the same I purchased a few USB 3.0 chargers on ebay.
Pros: I love this phone and how it seems to react to you, the user. the screen is pretty amazing and at 5.1 inches plenty big enough. I have the Otterbox Defender Case and the phone doesnt feel too thick/wide and actually feels pretty light. i havent had much problems with hearing people/people hearing me during phone calls, however answering phone calls seems a bit odd at the moment its set right now. i feel you really have to press down on the screen and drag it harder than you should have to answer the phone call.

Great Phone, But dont purchase
on March 9, 2014

Age:25-34
Phone size:Just right
The Phone itself is designed with 8gb and then you are allowed to have a MicroSDHC card as well. However, the phone is designed to only have 1.1 GB!!!!!!!!! set up for the phones entire memory. all the apps downloaded, message memory, pictures, etc are stored in this 1.1gb section of the 8 thats actually on the phone. its a terrible flaw and the phone becomes unusable. its terrible. i really liked HTC until i realized that this AND the HTC Incredible 1 also had this issue. I cant wait until the Galaxy S5 comes out even though i have the Unlimited plan so i will need to pay the full $800 to verizon if i want to keep that plan and im stuck with this phone until it comes out :(.

What's not so great: Call Volume, Speaker Volume, LOW MEMORY DESIGN FLAW!

In the lawless West, nowhere is safe. Between rebellious outlaws, crooked government and of course, the zombie hordes, it seems that a frontiersman just can't catch a break. That's right — unrelenting legions of the undead have invaded that already-wild landscape of the Western badlands, wreaking total havoc through towns and outposts normally only plagued by rogue gunfights and robberies. Once again, that rugged former outlaw, John Marston, finds himself caught in the action and fighting for survival — only this time, he's not just up against the bad guys, he'll have to take down the dead guys, too.Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare propels you back to the American West with a terrifying new twist. Arm yourself with powerful new Tomahawk and Explosive Rifle, venture into the graveyard and return to the role of John Marston as he faces dangerous, decaying enemies from four grotesque zombie classes and even undead and mythological animals. The corpse-conquering mayhem is monstrously intense in online multiplayer action that teams you up with or pits you against friends in Land Grab and Stronghold modes, as well as a variety of challenges, including Poker, Liar's Dice and Horse Racing. Play as your favorite iconic characters from Red Dead Revolver or as the legends from Red Dead Redemption. You may have tamed the Wild West before, but can you put the walking dead to rest?

Great for $20...not so much for $30
on January 7, 2011
Posted by: Viper8828
from Allentown PA
just letting people know - this is great and i like how rockstart puts the add ons as discs versions so you dont have to download it to your harddrive. this disc all the dlc on it so you just use this for online multiplayer, and has own seperate single player so you dont need to have the original RD: Redemption game to play this online or off.
HOWEVER - all the content on this disc is able to be purchased for 1600 micrsoft points ($20), so if you have the room on your hard drive DO NOT WASTE $10 for the same thing unless you really want it in disc form or want it from a store
What's great about it: Fun to play, can be alil difficult, online free roam
What's not so great: Price - $15-20 awesome ($30 not so much), difficulty sometimes, stupid respawning online free roam
I would recommend this to a friend!

5 star movies - 3 star collection
By Seannydrama from phoenix, AZ
The movies are fantastic, but this collection comes up a little short. PQ is a little behind the times, and why they didn't include the unrated version of Live Free is beyond me. Hold out for a remastered edition unless the price is right.

Thank you.

That comment made me realize I didn't need to purchase this. they did finally release the rated R version of Live Free here I believe. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/gone-in-60-seconds-blu-ray-disc/7983809.p?id=50072&skuId=7983809&st=categoryid$cat02015&lp=28&cp=3

Update
April 21, 2014
For some reason it seems noone can hear me like my Incredible 2 when i have the audio cable plugged into the car and phone and try to answer a phone call that way (the other persons voice still plays through the car speakers) and I still havent figured out how to get all the warnings away that i want. I called Samsung and he told me to email them. so thats what im in the process of doing
BestBuy has it as part of their customer relationship codes that they will price match as long as it is in stock (in this case, at your local Verizon. Unless you had no physical Verizon Stores within reasonable distance? i honestly have no clue, but i would have not left the store easily since i had all this to help me discount the price and I wanted to give BB my money vs verizon.)

There are 5 discs - not 4! Quality is EXCELLENT!
By Anonymous
Rush hour 2 was never available for sale in blu ray quality before now. I have the DVD trilogy and this buy was a no-brainer. The quality is excellent and I haven't even gotten into the extra discs yet. The art on the discs and covers are really well done and each movie's blu ray disc has the original extras from the DVD versions on them and many more because of the extra space on blu rays, I suppose.

This DVD player features 1080p upconversion for watching standard-definition DVDs in high-definition and DTS and Dolby Digital decoders for a lush soundscape.
 

All of my components i.e. DISH DVR, CD player and my current DVD player are HDMI' cabled into my ONKYO receiver which is HDMI cabled to my TV . Can this Samsung DVD player work the same way with an HDMI cable to the receiver?

it definitely should considering it has HDMI output. I WOULDNT SUGGEST this product though because any Flatscreen/HDTV or bluray player will upconvert DVDs to HD automatically so there is no reason to purchase this, either get a cheaper dvd player or a bluray player :)

Will this be compatible with 12 year old tv?

Your TV will need component cable (RED BLUE GREEN) input for video or HDMI input for video and audio. I wouldnt waste my money on this product though considering all flat screens already upconvert dvds to the best they will look automatically, or any bluray player does it as well.

What does the water resistant and dust resistant mean?

if everything is closed tightly, the phone will withstand being submerged in water for about 30 minutes. after as dust resistant means, im not sure. there is a plastic cover that comes on the phone thats clean that im sure you could use to protect it, but im sure they mean the screen is dust resistant like glasses are dust/scratch resistant. it works to a put but i would definitely suggest a screen cover for it. (the otterbox defender case has a plastic screen cover built into the case)
