Fast and it was serious!
on August 5, 2009
Posted by: koolcat
from Portland, Or
Really good overall movie in blu ray I mean what not to like when it involves women and cars that's right curves on both ends of this spectrum. Really this was part 2 of the series to me.. right after the fast and the furious. now I have to get that movie to really have my collection complete. The plot of this movie was good... just lacked a little more depth of story. Action was there, the fast cars were there, and women were hot. I would recommend this movie to own.. though the price not really to be desired. of course though its Blu ray.
What's great about it: Women and Cars Can't go wrong there
What's not so great: plot was good not great
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best buy for you Wii Fit WOW
on May 26, 2009
Posted by: koolcat
from Portland, Or
I purchased this the day it came out! this game is awesome. I did the first 30 day workout and I tell you I sweat like crazy from the running, the boxing, the inline skating down to the the side lunges... You really feel the burn and the bicep curls and tricep workout does tone you up...now just looking to put a routine together.. this combined with my membership at 24 hour will help me keep off the weight! now the bad is the nunchuk you have to keep pulling it out then back in the holder.. ugh. then the leg strap you have to really fasten tight or else it will fall and loosen. Overall this is a must buy the amount of activities on top of you can actually use your balance board you cannot go wrong Good job EA and good job Best buy for carrying this item!
What's great about it: you sweat and feel sore the next day
What's not so great: the leg strap and nunchuk

Of course Maya has suggested workouts for you to achieve your goals. For a guy this can benefit you as well...great for men and women! its a must buy!! go out and get it...great workout tool! and yes you will sweat but boy do you feel good afterwords!

SynopsisYou faced down a pit of snakes in pursuit of the Ark of the Covenant. You rode along on the insane mine car chase to recover the magical stones. You were there with him every step of the way, including that one terrifying step into the void of the canyon, as he sought the Holy Grail. Now Indiana Jones is preparing for his greatest adventure yet — one that involves everything you've known and loved about Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The only difference is that Indy's gone LEGO.LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures combines all the action and excitement of the Indiana Jones series with the quirky fun and creativity of LEGO. Join Indy as he pursues whip-cracking adventures across the globe, from the mountains of India to the jungles of South America. Relive some of your favorite moments from the films, including the heart-pounding boulder run that started it all. Immerse yourself in fully-realized LEGO environments as you swim through dangerous currents, climb sheer precipices and shimmy across rock ledges. Repel your enemies with whatever weapons you can find close at hand, including chairs, guns and bottles. And just like real LEGOs, you can mix and match characters' body parts for new dimensions of fun — just imagine the creative possibilities of characters such as Sallah Scott and Mola Round. With LEGO Indiana Jones, you're in for a thrill ride like you've never imagined — hold onto your hat.

Brace yourself for a new set of tricks, tracks and ways to race. The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies.You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS. There are even options for trying all-new motorbikes that have their own special tricks and techniques. The action gets fast, furious and funny when you race in Mario Kart Wii.

Can I run Apple TV through my dvd player HDMI port?

My HDTV does not have a HDMI port, but my DVD player does. Can i run the Apple TV hdmi cable directly into my DVD player hdmi port? My DVD player is connected to my TV with standard red/white/yellow plugs.

I assume apple TV would run fine this way though my DVD player, right?
NO, has to be a hdmi on the TV, for Apple TV to work the best.

I have been to two Best Buy stores in the last week and tried to order it online, but I can't do it. What is the scoop Best Buy?

I know the product is available from Apple, why isn't it available in any of your stores or on your website? This is really frustrating
honestly if you want it really bad, go to apple store. but if you can be patient and just keep calling best buy and see if they have in. just be patient if you can. you like Apple Tv when you get, I know the apple store has plenty. the future of apple TV will improve.

Will this work from my PC to TV with just regular Hulu (free shows)?

I use Hulu to catch shows my recorder messed up on or a local news bulliten interrupted but it is the items that are free. also from the major networks (ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS). If I pull up the show on my computer will it go to my wireless Vizio so the whole family can watch it on the TV even though it is playing on the computer?

Thank you in advance for your input,
Cindy
I don't think it will do from your PC to apple TV, you should just hook up a netbook or laptop to hulu then have it go thru your vizio...right now hulu thru other media devices has control, they want the consumer to pay for there service, but on the internet on your PC you can stream content.

APPPLETV/VERIZON DSL...CONNECTION.
NETFLIX MOVIE WATCHING I GET FREQUENT STOPS/PAUSE DURING SHOWING OF
MOVIES...PICTURE IS GREAT AS IS SOUND.
ANY TIPS....VERIZON NO HELP.
THANKS.
it could be verizon connection, I have comcast, also look where your apple TV is placed is it close to the router? also are there any other devices that could interfere with the connection. That will be your troubleshooting you would need to do. Mine paused a couple times with Comcast, understand that APPle TV this model has no on board memory but can do updates from Apple, so improve it will. be patient.

When will this again become available in-store or for direct shipping?

I have been trying to buy this from Best Buy for the past week, but it is not available in-store or by shipping. When will this again become available? It would be nice to be able to put this on back-order, so it would ship when it becomes available.
they should be in, but will sell out fast. call your local best buy or order online/ or just get it at apple store if you want really bad.

My son wants to have internet connection for our Playstation 3 console. What additional equipment/ stuff do I need to buy for this hook up capability

You will have to have an internet provider plain and simple, once you have this provider ie: comcast, Qwest, fios etc. Now you can connect wirelessly thru that modem by setting up thru your PS3 or by ethernet cable.
