Great television, better than DC movies

OK, I may be a little biased because I love this show so much, but if you're a fan of The Flash or superhero and action shows you should really like this show. If you've watched Arrow, this is opposite. It's colorful and fun. The cast is great. I was happy to watch Jesse L. Martin again after many years on Law & Order. The first season has Mark Hamill reprising the role he played in the 90s Flash TV show but we get to see what he brought to brought to make the Joker so good for many years. And he has a very famous line from The Empire Strikes Back. Great fan boy moment. John Wesley Shipp was brought back too. Nice touch. As far as the bluray goes, I watch the digital download was for iTunes. Yes, you can watch these online with your other memberships bought if you're collect or like having hard copies, pick it up when it's on sale. Season was great and can't wait for Season 3...

Doesn't fit with Incipio OVRMLD
on April 2, 2014
Posted by: Jangotat
from Phila PA
I thought the other reviews had to be wrong, why would Apple sell an adaptor that doesn't fit over a case? Well, they do, and it's a super poor design and pretty useless unless you don't use a case. I prefer Incipio cases because they saved my iPhone 4 when it fell out of my motorcycle at highway speeds. Case and phone intact! Barely a scratch. I'm not taking off my case to use an adaptor.
What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Cannot use it without removing case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worth the price if you get it on sale.

The Polar Express is a great movie and looks great in HD. Wanted a copy in 3D hoping it would blow me away. It's OK. There are a few scenes where you get some great reactions to the effect but there were a lot of scenes where the images overlap or are fuzzy around the edges. I got mine on sale so I'm not disappointed and I know I'll watch it again.

Excellent Movie
on February 9, 2014
Posted by: Jangotat
from Phila PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
A Fun and interesting twist on characters and stories many of us no so well but haven't seen on the big screen like this before. Johnny Depp is great as usual and this has the fun of a Pirates of the Caribbean without going over the top. Armie Hammer is OK, better than I expected. The story is fantastic. This movie did not get near the credit it was due. I saw a prescreening of the movie and the audience applauded it. I wished my grand father had been around to see this because I think he'd have loved it too.

![Metallica Through the Never [2 Discs] [Blu-ray] [2013]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3381/3381013_sa.jpg)
Posted by: Jangotat
First my four star rating is because for the price the 2D bluray could have been included and the bass could be a bit louder. Now, the awesome, and why it's worth the price. I saw this in IMAX and the disc gave the same eye popping and jaw dropping picture quality. I watch a lot of IMAX and this is by far one of the best IMAX and IMAX to disc movies I've seen. The movie itself gets you on the stage, you can imagine being that close. I was very skeptical about the story. I was impressed by it in that it kept my guessing and still does, I haven't watched the extras and kinda don't want the story explained. I think all Metallica fans will enjoy the movie if for nothing more than great concert footage and the end credits. If you don't know the band and are curious, it's a good way to experience the band for the first time.

The Helghast just won't die. You defeated their violent, cold-hearted leader, Visari. Along with the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance, you evacuated their planet. You thought it was over. You thought wrong. The Helghast have returned to terrorize the universe with more battalions, more weapons and more anger than ever. The threat is as real as ever — it's a Killzone out there and the challenge is on. Even the power of the ISA seems unable to match the recharged armies of the Helghast, and the future looks bleak. The universe needs someone with sharpshooting precision and untiring courage. The universe needs a hero. The universe needs you.Boldly return to the future's most terrifying and challenging epic war, and engross yourself in the gripping plot and heart-pounding action of Killzone 3. The battle is more brutal than ever as you fight face-to-face with Helghast troops in the new melee system. Do you dare to step even further into the fray to experience the bullets blazing into your living room and the frightful enemies marching out of your TV screen? This time, Killzone is compatible with 3D technology to really pull you into the battle. Play alone and control all the action of war with your own fingertips, or enlist your friends to join you in innovative new game modes. This time around, you have more abilities, more advanced weapons and more access to thrilling high-speed vehicles than before. But remember, your enemy is just as strong — it will take guts and tenacity to be the one who will come out on top and survive the Killzone this time.

Interesting shooter at good price
on October 12, 2013
Posted by: Jangotat
from Phila PA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought when it was on sale for $15. I already have the PS Move Sharp Shooter so thought I'd pick up. I knew nothing of the Killzone series but I'm impressed with it so far. Like Goldeneye, it's going to take a awhile to calibrate the Sharp Shooter to make game play smooth and fun. I've played a lot of Ace Combat and Gears of War. Killzone 3 reminds me of those games: Ace Combat type-story live with a Gears of War type game play, maybe a little Call of Duty in there. Haven't finished the game yet but I expect it to be worth the price.

Great movie, 3D is OK

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great movie and a clever way of retelling the story while still leaving the original story lines intact. The 3D is OK. A few moments standout better than some others. In all fairness, I haven't bought a 3D bluray movie that has been as good as in the theater.

I was dissapointed that I could not get the Itunes version with the digital copy that I purchased. I went to the WB website and wrote a complaint to the customer service department. The following day they e-mailed me a code to download the copy in Itunes. Worth a shot, sounds like they are trying to fix the problem with unhappy customers.

Best Advice, Let WB Know!
November 26, 2011
I came to give another horrible review of UltraViolet like I did when I bought Green Latern. This review is most productive though, yes, let's tell our fellow consumers to avoid UltraViolet. More importantly, tell WB you don't like it! Then they will know. Will we get download codes like HPfan75 did? Who knows. But if we don't tell WB they won't know and this will continue. CinemaNow and UltraViolet are "digital copies" but won't work without a WiFi connection and We Don't Like It! Tell WB!

Read the label
November 9, 2013
How to avoid this from happening to you? Read the label that clearly states it only comes with the 3D blu-ray. I typically won't post a comment like this but I think it's unwarrented to give the product a one star rating because you bought the wrong one by not reading the label.

1 out of 5Extremely disappointed with Sony
By shewolf217
from Mt. Pleasant, SC
I know I am one of about 4 people on the entire planet that complains about the Sony PS3 but geez what a waste of money! Let me set the stage here: my brother asked for this the year after it was officially released. By then the price had dropped a bit and my dad bought him the console for Christmas. Keep in mind, my brother and I live together and we each have an XBOX 360 console. He had the XBOX 360 before the PS3. We got it set up, my brother played it maybe 3 times before the console literally died. It was brand NEW! He played it 3 times and it DIED. Well since it was within warranty, my dad called Sony customer service and was hoping they would be able to help us out with either a new console or a refurbished one. They did absolutely neither! Sony's customer service is terrible and so was the PS3! $400 down the drain. What a waste. Thank God my brother's XBOX still works.

Why not return it?
May 5, 2014
Did you try returning it to Best Buy because it was only 3 days old? It's a shame you spent $400 last Christmas when the holiday bundles went for $200ish with 2 games. Sucks you had a bad experience.

3 out of 5Decent laptop for the price, but be aware...
By Ericg
I purchased this laptop because it was cool looking and for the price the configuration is pretty good (i.e. RAM, Video Card, etc.).
I have since returned the laptop and got my money back. Here is why...
- The hard drive while large in capacity is VERY slow to boot up and is equally slow at performing basic tasks
- There is no recovery CD, Driver CD (or any CD for that matter) that comes with this laptop. The hard drive is partitioned with a recovery program to reset the PC or take it back to factory settings. However, if the hard drive crashes or you want to put a new hard drive in (say an SSD), then you are screwed. I contacted both Best Buy and HP and was basically told to pound sand. HP does have an option to purchase (for $25.00 plus shipping) a recovery CD/DVD, but they didn't have this model available for some reason, so HP sent me back to Best Buy :-( The Best Buy geek squad did have an option to possibly ghost the factory image to a CD/DVD, but they were not 100% sure about that
- The NVIDA 2GB graphics card was in this laptop, but for some reason, Windows 10 was using the Intel graphics card on the system board so even though the NVIDA control panel was installed, the computer would only run using the Intel card so it was eating up 4GB of the 8GB RAM as graphics RAM. Geek Squad thought that the NVIDA card might "kick in" when the computer was tasked hard, but I couldn't get it to switch and they didn't have the time to look at it while I was right there, so this never was resolved
- There is no mouse pad nor mouse that comes with the laptop. While this is not a huge deal, I couldn't even find a Star Wars mouse to purchase #either from Best Buy or HP# which matches the mouse shown in the description. You can buy the Star Wars sleeve for 40 bucks, but no mouse or pad that I could find

The round around that I got was so bad that I decided to just return the laptop and live to fight another day. Its too bad because it was very cool looking.

Thank for your replies
November 21, 2015
Everyone, thank you for your replies to the original review. I was concerned about buying the laptop because of the review but I went ahead and got it anyway. I had an issue using an ethernet when trying to download a movie from iTunes. It would recognize the network connect but then disconnect, go back to wifi and then it would try the network again. I talked to Geek Squad phone support, they set me up an appointment and they were very helpful. The ethernet drivers were reinstalled and everything seemed correct. We didn't test iTunes though. I got home and the same issue happened again. I did searches on Verizon FIOS to see if that was an issue but then put two and two together and noticed the network connection only dropped after trying to download a movie or album. There was some good info on the Apple forums that said the issue could be I didn't run the iTunes installation as an administrator. I should have known better. I called the Geek Squad back at my store and gave them an update. They decided it was best to reset the laptop and setup it up fresh again. This wasn't an issue because I only had the laptop two days. The reset is running as I type this. The Geek Squad rep said if this didn't work to bring the laptop back and they will swap it out with a new one.
Point of my very long story is your replies are very helpful and there are wonderful people at my local Best Buy stores Collegeville and King of Prussia PA that have always, and I mean always, have helped me out.
