A Very Good Looking Watch, Lacking OS
on September 17, 2014
Posted by: Springsteenfan1020
from Moorestown, NJ
I was very excited to get my hands on this product and was looking forward to it for months. I used it for about a week and then ended up returning the device. Nothing against the watch, it had amazing looks and looked very classy. For me, it was the software that came up very short. I just did not see the need for a $250 watch to let me know how long it will take to get home from work or to show me how many steps I have taken. I understand it is only suppose to be an extension of your phone but it was just too bare bones for my liking. The bluetooth connection also ate at my battery life on my Note 3, after I returned it the other day my battery is back to normal. The terrible battery life rumors are just false. I used it for a solid week and never got "scared" of it dying on me. Unless you get constant notifications the watch will last you easily throughout the day, but you will for sure want to charge it at night. But when you do, charging the device is a breeze and extremely easy since it is wireless, just put the watch on the stand and boom it charges, and fast. I found it to charge almost 1% every minute or two. So if you are a heavy user just bring the small charger with you and you are good to go. The screen looked crisp for a watch and I can't get over the design. Motorola knocked it out of the park. But for me it just was not worth the money in the long run. Android Wear has a very long way to go and until then I recommend holding off on a smart watch. But if you really like the way it looks and want text messages on your wrist...go for it, you may or may not be disappointed.
What's great about it: The Design, Metal Case, Looks Great, Wireless Charging, Battery Life was Good
What's not so great: Operating System, Bluetooth Used Some Power
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect for My Desk
on July 22, 2014
Posted by: Springsteenfan1020
from Moorestown, NJ
This is a great fan for anyone in the market for one. I bought this particular fan for my desk as it tends to get a little warm in my room when it is really hot outside, this solves that problem. I am instantly cool (even on low speed) although granted it is sitting right on my desk facing me. The nice thing about this fan is that it does have 2 speeds to choose from. It is for sure more powerful than I thought it was going to be but it also was a little larger than I thought as well. Nonetheless if you are looking for a good, cheap fan this is a very good option.
What's great about it: Airflow, 2 Speeds
What's not so great: A Little Bigger Than I Thought

A Solid Springsteen Record
on January 16, 2014
Posted by: Springsteenfan1020
from Moorestown, NJ
High Hopes marks Springsteen's 18th studio album that consists of outtakes from previous albums and songs that fans will be familiar with from Springsteen's live shows. Let's make one thing clear, this is not titled an "outtakes" album, this is very much a new studio album. Bruce said himself that he felt this is music that he felt needed to be released and I must say that I agree. Bruce mentioned that he really liked these songs but they just did not fit the albums that he was working on at the time. Some standouts from the album are Down in the Hole, Frankie Fell in Love, The Wall, and Just Like Fire Would. Honestly, Down in the Hole may be one of the saddest and deepest songs I've heard. You will know exactly what he is talking about on the first listen. Not his best work, but far from the worst. I would pick up the album if you're just a casual Bruce fan or a die-hard. Almost everyone will enjoy it.
My Best Buy number: 2758941420
What's great about it: Great lyrics and music, Bruce Springsteen
What's not so great: Too Much Tom Morello

Good Gaming System...That's About it Though
on June 18, 2013
Posted by: Springsteenfan1020
from Moorestown, NJ
I know this will get a ton of thumbs down, but I'm looking at this through the eyes of the regular consumer. Notice how I gave it a 3 star instead of a 1 star. I'm doing a fair impression. I think that this is a good system and many people will enjoy it and be just fine with it. Let's start with the good. You don't have to check into the internet every 24 hours. This may not concern many people but hey, it's there. I personally don't care as I always have an internet connection. The price is the sweet spot for consumers. Yes, the Xbox One is $100 more but don't forget it does come with the Kinect and more features. Still, $400 is a great price. Controller has changed and now feels better in the hand. Good news here as the PS3 controller was awkward compared to the Xbox's. My complaints are that this is mainly for the gamer. They are not appealing to every single market. This system plays games, browses the web, and streams Netflix. Nothing amazing here. Compared to the Xbox One which has a boat load of new features such as the Kinect 2.0, HDMI In port, Twitch streaming, Skype Video Calls, Multi-tasking while doing two things at once on the same screen. Truly great stuff coming from Microsoft. I was underwhelmed by Sony. Xbox One uses the cloud amazing well, this will change the way the computer plays against you as it knows exactly what you do in the game. Pretty neat stuff. Plus, you can share your game library with up to 10 people anywhere in the world, and they can play instantly!! This really is suppose to be for your "family" only but Microsoft said that you can work around it and share with your friends and that they won't hunt you down. Awesome! Also, there has been confusion with used games. You can still trade in used games on both the Xbox and PS4. The thing with the Xbox is that once you give your game to a friend, they now own it and you don't. Not a big fan of that, but I don't lend games so this doesn't apply to me but it may to you. The PS4 DOES indeed charge a used game fee just like the Xbox One. Neither Microsoft or Sony will charge though, it will be up to the developer to set the price. These are the things I want in a next-gen console. Not just a faster box with a revamped controller. If you have trouble with an internet connection by all means get the PS4. If you're like the average consumer though...go with the Xbox. It offers a lot more for the money.
What's great about it: Slightly more Power than Xbox One, $400 is the sweet spot
What's not so great: Same Used Game Fee as Xbox, Playstation Network, No Amazing Innovation
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A Very Nice Touch Screen Option
on June 18, 2013
Posted by: Springsteenfan1020
from Moorestown, NJ
This is my first Sony laptop and they have definitely impressed me so far. The laptop is for sure faster than my 5 year old Dell. Going from an Intel Core 2 Duo processor to a Intel Core i5 is a big jump. There is a noticeable speed boost, but probably was expecting the machine to run a little faster. Not bad though. The keyboard is what surprised me the most. Took me only about one day to get use to the new keyboard and now I can type anything very, very quickly. It is an absolute dream to type on. The touch screen was a must have for me and compliments Windows 8 really well. If you're looking at a Windows 8 machine, make sure it has a touch screen, it really makes the operating system feel intuitive. The only main complaint I have with this laptop is the track pad. It is a pretty decent sized track pad, not too big but no too small. I'm just not a very big fan of it, kind of hard to explain. It is responsive but not that much at the same time. I plan on buying a wireless mouse very soon. Overall though, this is a great machine if you're looking to find a good deal on a Windows 8 laptop with a touch screen.
What's great about it: Touh Screen, Backlit Keyboard, Brilliant Display, Keyboard is a dream to type on
What's not so great: Track Pad

Probably the BEST Phone on the Market
on September 27, 2012
Posted by: Springsteenfan1020
from Moorestown, NJ
Age:18-24
Phone size:Just right
This is bar none probably the best phone on the market. The phone is just so smooth and works without a hiccup. The phone just works. I was coming from an android phone and the battery life blows my old phone away. I was actually afraid to use my old phone due to the poor battery life. Now, I can use my phone and not worry about my battery draining. This phone is awesome with Verizon's blazing fast 4G LTE. The overall package that Apple gives you is amazing. Amazing display, amazing speed, amazing design, amazing phone. Well worth the money, you will not be disappointed.
What's great about it: Battery life, retina display, 4" screen, app store, sexy design
What's not so great: Nothing

A Must for any Springsteen Fan
on June 21, 2012
Posted by: Springsteenfan1020
from Moorestown, NJ
This is a must for any Bruce Springsteen fan or for any music fan in general. You get some of the finest work from Bruce Springsteen and some have even said that his unrelased stuff really speaks and boy are those people right. Every disc has a great variety of songs and tempos. There are some really great songs on this box set. If you are a Bruce fan and do not yet own this box set. Might as well order it now...you will not regret this buy!
What's great about it: Unreleased Studio songs, 4 discs
What's not so great: NOTHING

Wrecking Ball Packs a Punch
on March 9, 2012
Posted by: Springsteenfan1020
from Moorestown, NJ
When I first heard that this wasn't a full fledge E Street Band album, I became a little worried that it wouldn't turn out good at all. Boy was I wrong. This is such a great album from Bruce Springsteen. Yes, there are a few songs from the E Street Band (not a solo album) and they really did an excellent job on it. Personally I feel as if this is Bruce Springsteen's best album when it comes to the lyrics. The lyrics to the songs on this album are amazing! Every single American can relate to the album. The songs are not typical sounding Springsteen songs either. They are filled with electronic percussion and electronic clapping in the background. But, it isn't hip-hop by any means. It really adds awesome sound to the songs. I've heard Springsteen play these new songs on late night t.v. shows and they sound awesome off the album as well. Which I was worried about how he would transfer the record sound over to live sound but he did a great job. This album can relate and be enjoyed by die hard Springsteen fans and new fans alike. This is probably one of his best albums and is probably the best when it comes to the lyrics. I've had friends who have listened to the album and actually say that they like this kind of his music more than the classics. I don't necessarily agree with that but it shows that new people will like his music. The top four songs in my eyes are: We Take Care of Our Own, Shackled and Drawn, Death to My Hometown, and American Land. Anyone he picks up this album will be in love and singing along in no time. Great album and highly recommended!
What's great about it: Lyrics, New Sound, Bruce Springsteen
What's not so great: Not Full E Street Album

Amazing Value for Five Bucks
on June 22, 2011
Posted by: Springsteenfan1020
from Moorestown, NJ
This is an absolutely incredible deal. I was in my local best buy and saw it for $4.99 and bought it right away. This is incredible, you get the full show and the two CDs of the show. So you practically listen to this anywhere. Amazing deal and would go check to see if your store has it. Elton provides great background of songs and interacts with the crowd really well. Good setlist but missed a few key songs I think. Overall for five dollars, you can't go wrong. An absolute must for any Elton John fan.
What's great about it: DVD/CD combo, Elton, crowd, stage props, PRICE
What's not so great: Setlist is ok, music dull at minor points
I would recommend this to a friend!

The all-new thinner and lighter design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life.1 With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls,2 record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

The Amazing iPad 2
on March 12, 2011
Posted by: Springsteenfan1020
from Moorestown, NJ
This is by far the coolest thing I have ever owned. I waited in line yesterday at best buy and was third in line. I got this iPad and I am so happy I did, it was also well worth the wait! In fact I'm typing my review of the iPad 2 right now on my iPad 2. This thing is blazing fast and FaceTime is a joy with the 9.7" display. I can't believe how thin the iPad 2 is as well. I knew it would be good but not this good. I would highly suggest you pick one ip if your thinking about it.
What's great about it: Thinness, price, colors, blazing fast, facetime
What's not so great: Nothing yet

I saw an article(website) that Best Buy is allowing Verizon customers to pre-order the Droid X before the 7/15 release date. Is that true?

yes I heard that as well and you should be able too. Enjoy it, it will be the best phone on the market...
