Like any screen protector it is all in how it is applied, follow the instructions and do your best to avoid getting any additional dust on the screen while applying the protector. It went on clean and now I feel better about wearing my watch without getting it scratched up. If you own a Pebble get this screen protector.

For the money you can't beat this device. It can turn any TV in to a Smart TV. I mostly bought this on impulse and out of curiosity. I really don't need another device for Netflix or Hulu, I have the PS3 and PS4 for that but, I liked the idea of mirroring Google Chrome from any Computer (that has the muscle to handle it# to my TV; that way whatever is on my screen is replicated on my TV flawlessly #most of the time, this is still in beta, but if Google sticks with it this will be the killer app feature). For the 29.99 I paid I can say well worth it, plus now my wife can watch ABC Family on the big screen using the Chrome Mirror Feature. If you got the money and it is burning a hole in your pocket than you can’t go wrong, just keep in mind that it is still young and there are only a hand full of apps that work and that you will need a tablet, smart phone, or a Laptop or PC to get your content on the screen as they act as the remote for this device.

I bought the original wii back when it first came out for my wife and I to play. It was fun for awhile and then it lost its appeal and just became a dust trap. We still have it cause it was not worth it to sell it. So we turn it on every so often to play the virtual console games. The motion controllers were the reason why we quit playing, just to much of a gimmick. I vowed to never buy Nintendo again. But here Iam reviewing the Wii U.
Let me start with a disclaimer, like many of the things I will be reviewing this year (2014) I bought this item for free using the My Reward Program Points, I had saved for over two years and Christmas 2013 I spent all $2,300.00 worth of points.
This was one of my last purchases I made and I did it more out of curiosity and impulse. Now being a Father of two small girls, I wanted to have some thing the family could enjoy, I had already bought the PS4 earlier at launch with my points so the Wii U is more of a companion to the PS4.
So far I cannot regret the purchase it comes with two great games and i plan to buy the other Mario 3D World game as well. I mostly got it for the first party games. Nintendo still knows how to make great games and has a great collections of IP's to pull from.
Now when it comes down to multi-platform games, I will always buy the PS4 version.
With that said there are alot of great features, the tablet controller is a great idea and i look forward to seeing how they improve upon its use, such as the tv feature is great and fun but i feel it may become a novelty. I like that it is backwards compatible with the wii games and controllers so you don't have to run out and buy new controllers right away even though the wii u pro controller is the next purchase.
I don't want to get to lenghty here so let me just sum it up by saying that it was worth the free price, not sure i would have bought it on my own for the current price, if you have children and don't want them playing Call of Duty go for this system, you may find its value worth it.
if you can hold off i can see this console getting a price cut, it is really a second purchase console. Most likely it will be next to your PS4 or X Box One.

What's great about it: Great Family Fun with some added Media Features
What's not so great: Still have to use the wii motion controllers for some games

It's Madden with a few new tricks

Madden is a football game that has been around for 25 years now and is a great series but since EA has the NFL license tied up it is a shame there is no competition like from 2K who wipes the floor with their NBA games and could really make EA step up their game. But anyway I got this game as the last one for this console generation before next gen takes over. To me Madden 25 is not worth the price of admission and I got 13 for 9.99 so it is a nice way to say good by to this gen of sports games. Now I know that 25 will be on next gen but it is really a polished port. Next years Madden will be a true next gen experience and will pick that one up.

What's not so great: Just a few minor improvements over the last title

Your submarine moves majestically, stealthily through the murky waters. You could almost reach out and touch the sea creatures as they float by silently — but you have a mission to accomplish. Then, you spot it in the distance — the monstrous shadow that could only be your enemy fast approaching. You pull up your control panel, swiftly tapping the mechanisms in the right order. Suddenly, you hear the screech of metal on metal. You're quick, but they're one step ahead. No matter — you jet to the gaping hole and patch it up before unleashing your powerful torpedo right into the heart of your enemy's vessel. Plunge deep into the ocean for a seaworthy adventure as a submarine commander in Steel Diver. As you descend into the depths, massive sea creatures, looming enemies and hazards of every shape and size spring to life and spring right into your path in captivating 3D. Learn to master the controls of three different vessels, and use them to deftly maneuver your submarine, launch torpedoes and blow enemies out of the water. Your body becomes the controller when you rotate to control the movement of your periscope. Navigate with precision to complete daring missions, and even take on a rival in a head-to-head game of strategy and stealth. An entire fleet of ships and a submarine are at your command as you battle to overpower your enemy. Can you rise — or, rather, sink — to the occasion and conquer the seas?

It's a launch title and a new IP from Nintendo

This game was a launch title and a new IP from Nintendo. This reminds me of the first NES launch line up, not a lot of games but memorable ones at that. This game reminds me of Excitebike just something you play from time to time, it will never replace a Mario title but makes great for a time killer in between Mario play sessions. With that said the reality of Android and Apple Mobile games; this game feels like one of those. That's a good thing and a bad thing. The bad being that those games cost .99 - 2.99 and this game was 39.99 at launch and now 19.99. The price is not worth the experience you can get from a premium mobile game. But I did get this game on sale for 2.99 so that is why I got to give it 4 stars, now if I paid 19.99 then it would fall to 1. You got to give Nintendo some props for trying a new IP that does not come close to being a Mario, DK, Zelda, or Metroid clone. If you can get it for less than 5 get it, it is worth the price and is fun like a mobile game. Just don't pay full price or you will feel ripped off.

What's great about it: The price if you got it for 2.99
What's not so great: the price if you pay 19.99

Truely an Ipad Killer
on June 28, 2013
Posted by: watchmanonthewall
from Charlotte,NC
This is the perfect tablet Microsoft nailed it plus Office is free it's been over 10 years since Office was free on a consumer bought computer. Now if you want to install old Windows programs you will be disappointed, this is Windows OS on a Android OS level. The market place is going with apps but for me Office was all i needed. This tablet is primary used for writing and preaching sermons off of. The Ipad was to much trouble for me. I love the touch pad; at first it feels like you are type on a bare table top but after you get used to no clicky buttons you want notice, now if you like to have clicky just get the touch pad. All in all i love and look forward to a gen 2 just hope they don't do a zune (which i was the few that loved it over the i pod) it6 has a lot of potential.
What's great about it: Features
What's not so great: Only if you are one that needs to install Legacy Windows Programs that can be a down side

The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

They duck into the dugout as mere mortals, cleated, capped and humming with anticipation. But as the National Anthem echoes across the stadium, the lights blaze into life and the umpire squats behind the plate, something changes. Players become legends, the embodiments of what it means to seek glory. Baseball is not just a pastime — it's the epic saga that holds all of America in its grasp. Do you have what it takes to step up to the plate and claim your stake in baseball history?Each year, only one MLB team earns the title of a champion. And each year, only one sports game scores the highest ratings in the world. That game is The Show. Calling you off the bench with ultrarealistic gameplay, intense season-long campaigns and the nitty-gritty details of the MLB experience, the highest-rated sports video game has forever revolutionized the way you see America's pastime — and it's about to do it again. Immerse yourself in gameplay that goes deeper than ever before in MLB 12: The Show. The latest generation of the gaming phenomenon takes you the closest you can get to real-life, game-day action, with innovative new features never before seen in a sports game. Pair up the game with your PlayStation Move, and feel the intensity of every crack of the bat and reach for the catch like you're truly in the stadium. Continue your Season, Franchise and Road to the Show at home — or on the go — with Cross-Platform Saves between your PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. Jump into a massive multiplayer online experience, and create a custom team, collect and play with MLB players or use Dynasty cards in the all-new Diamond Dynasty mode, where you can put your managerial skills on display. Get up off the bench — The Show is back on.
