Cheap and powerful

This phone has and does just about everything. The form factor is great (fairly standard nowadays), the screen is beautiful and large and the phone is very fluid and fast. I love the facial recognition for login and that I can use this as a remote control. LG makes a solid phone that outperformed my expectations. This is a test phone I use on WiFi only so I can't speak to it's usefulness as an actual phone, but as a mobile streaming, gaming device that I wouldn't be afraid to let my kids use (in a proper case), this thing is top notch!

Engaging and fun

This was a highly anticipated game that paid off in virtually every way. The gameplay is phenomenal and immensely fun. Playing with friends online while teaming up to both level up and execute various missions makes this game completely worthwhile. The upgradeable gear is plentiful and provides a great variety of options. The characters and worlds are pretty interesting. Found out there are some great actors voicing different characters in this game too -- always a bonus.
My only complaint is that you have to wait an unforgivable amount of time traveling to different locations or between missions as the load times are fairly horrendous. My friend who purchased the download version agrees that his hard drive version runs comparably to the disc version.

Stunning improvement over the original

Verified Purchase:Yes
As an owner and fan of the original release for the PS3, I can say that the remastered version is worth owning/playing as a revisit to those that have played it before as well as those who've never had a chance. The graphics are markedly improved over an already stunning usage of the PS3's horsepower and make the game feel THAT much better. The game is still just as good as before but more intriguing visually -- it almost feels like a new game. And as other reviews have stated, the graphics in this version put many of the other PS4 releases to shame -- games designed specifically for the PS4 that is.

Great universal adapter

Posted by: Meeklog

Verified Purchase:Yes
Simply put, this was a cheap adapter that is comparable to the stuff you'd find at Radio Shack for twice the price, but with vastly greater options in terms of tips and power settings. The company is also reputable so I had a little more faith in the product. Time will tell if this will last, all adapters seem to burn out at some point. Not sure why I needed to rate the sound quality of this ;) -- but I guess it's quiet?

Just what I needed -- no more shaky shots

Verified Purchase:Yes
I take photos at night and the best I can do in low light is set up the tripod for stability. But even then, a slight touch of the button and my shots are a blurry mess. This simple remote has eliminated that issue and now I've greatly reduced any vibration (except for what the camera generates itself).

Super entry-level, but not the worst thing ever?
on June 20, 2014
Posted by: Meeklog

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was being completely realistic when I bought this so there really were ZERO expectations that this would be a good guitar for any experience level. This was purchased for my 5.5 y/o daughter who expressed interest in playing guitar, but she has small hands. The guitar is smaller and thus easier to play and for what it's worth, has a decent and big sound. The strings aren't all that great, who knows how long they sat on the shelf and the intonation needs to be set. The guitar frets out around the 10th, probably due to a high fret or something similar, but I was surprised that it was very playable in the majority of areas you'd be concerned with anyhow. Maybe this was why it was on clearance. For $54, you get instructional DVDs, the guitar, a cheapo soft case, some picks, another set of entry-level strings and a decent enough cheapo strap. At that price, it's a decent bargain. At $75 I'd even still consider it. At $100+, I'd probably pass and save my money.
The reason I bought this over other guitars at similar or even cheaper price points was for the smaller scale though which surprisingly wasn't as easy for me to find out there in the world.

They're sure to get the gift they really want when you give this All that Glitters Holiday gift card. Best Buy gift cards are shipped free and are good toward future purchases online and in U.S. or Puerto Rico Best Buy stores. Safeguards against theft protect your purchase. And Best Buy gift cards do not have fees or an expiration date.

This is kind of a no-brainer. If you want money to spend at Best Buy or are looking for a gift for that special someone who shops for electronics or supports the brand -- this is it.
Sometimes I carry this in my wallet, just like a credit card. Then, when the impulse hits me, I use it. Beats a trip to the ATM or having to worry about scheduling an online payment with my credit card company!
These cards are also constructed of a high-quality plastic that can be used in conjunction with my Pick-Punch to create Best Buy-themed guitar picks. Life for the card even after it has no monetary value! If you have good wrist action, these cards also make excellent throwing cards that can pack a wallop. Of course you should always wear protective gear when using the cards in this manner and the card should be handed to employees for redemption rather than flung with reckless abandon.
I only wish I had a video to share to show how you use this in the store. It's not rocket surgery, but sometimes if you don't hand the card to an employee just right, he/she might fumble with it or accidentally run the mag strip upside down through the reader. This can lead to an unpleasant and extended checkout experience further exacerbated by the fact that said employee may not have a proper scratching implement to remove the scratch-off material from the reverse side of the card. It's also important to note that a proper grip on the card can prevent serious injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome. I would advise performing a good wrist flexing exercise for approximately 30 minutes prior to handling the card for both safety and maximum range when handing the card off at various angles.

What's not so great: The value diminishes to zero as you use it...also, $15 can't always get you very far in the electronics world.

This is one of the best shows on TV -- I look forward to every episode because each character is awesome with their own quirks...there is seriously not a bad actor in the ensemble and they each nail their respective character's personalities flawlessly. It seems odd to rate the plot of this show -- who cares!? This is one of the few shows on TV that genuinely makes me laugh.
What's great about it: Entertaining and funny as hell!
What's not so great: Standard Definition -- why is this not available on blu-ray?

This Sharp HDTV supports images up to 1080p. To build a complete 3D home theater system, we recommend you purchase 3D glasses designed for this TV, a 3D Blu-ray player, high-speed HDMI cable and an A/V receiver that is compatible with 3D products.

Impressive and BIG

This TV had just about everything I was looking for: giant screen, 240Hz, 3D, Full HD, lots of inputs and the list goes on. While I was slightly more impressed with the Samsung picture quality, partially due to its glossy (versus the Sharp's matte) screen and overall picture brilliance, I quickly got over it because without having the two sets side-by-side, you quickly forget the differences. The picture is vibrant and highly adjustable. I borrowed some calibration settings someone posted on the interwebs and after eliminating some oversaturated factory-default reds, I think the picture looks gorgeous. HDMI 4 is MHL-compatible meaning that my separately purchased Roku stick can be controlled through the TV. However, it doesn't seem to work...but that's a separate issue -- in theory, the technology is there and should be capable of handling it. I haven't been able to get the ARC to function properly yet either whereby I have something plugged directly into the TV, but want the sound to come out of my receiver. It's a minor issue that really only affects a device I rarely use (though this could prove troublesome if/when I get my Roku stick to work).
Setup was easy, but I rarely use the built-in internet functions. I primarily use an AppleTV, Roku, TiVo, PC or PS3 for most web-based or streaming services -- especially given that the response time in loading and operating the TV's offerings can be quite slow.
I was slightly disappointed that Best Buy's model is the low-end version of this particular model. The main difference (Costco sells the slightly better version) is mostly the lack of Sharp's Quad-pixel-something-or-other technology. It's intended to improve the 3D quality as well as overall picture quality. Would it have made a massive difference...probably not, but I tend to like having the latest and greatest (except in the case where I'd have to wait 5 years to get an overly expensive 4K TV -- this will hold me over in the meantime).
The TV, despite having read that matte screens surprisingly do the opposite, performs really well in a sunny room right next to a window. I never have issues struggling to see the picture. In the store, next to the Samsung, the picture looked a little flat due to the screen, but again, in my home without anything to compare with side-by-side, I'd never know the difference.
3D playback is pretty impressive. Although we've seen the movie 50 times, Tangled in 3D was a revelation for my 4 year old daughter. I couldn't help but laugh aloud when she reached out to grab the floating lanterns. Given that the 3D glasses have to be purchased separately and that Universal glasses are not an option, we did struggle to get them to stay on her little face, but we made due. I do wish that there was an option for kids, haven't found one yet, as the switchable nosepiece they offer with the glasses made little difference. There is also a brightness enhacing option for 3D playback which seemed to make a difference in what can often be a dimmed experience with active lenses. There was some ghosting, but in extremely limited cases and I think it had to do more with the movie than the set or glassesd themselves. Animation tends to do fare better than live action, but after awhile you adjust. It's fun, but expensive to share with others given that each set of glasses is $50 and then you have to trust a child not to break them in some cases.
As mentioned, inputs are plentiful in the sense that the majority of my components run through either an HDMI switcher and/or the receiver itself...so in reality, I only really use one TV input. The sound that comes from the TV is surprisingly loud. On one or two occasions I was startled by the unexpected audio that came on when I switched sources. Needless to say though, it won't replace a quality receiver and surround speakers.
I've got an XBOX 360, PS3 and Wii U all hooked up and they look brilliant on the screen...even my wife a technophobe and non-gamer was impressed and wanted to get in on the action when I was playing.
Although I still feel that Samsung's picture quality is superior overall, for the price, you can't beat the size. I'm glad I decided to get the extra 10" of screen real estate over a perceived gain in picture quality. Given that I upgraded from a 60" rear-projection LCD Sony from 2003, I couldn't really go wrong -- anything was an upgrade. After taxes, etc, this ended up being a little more than I wanted to spend, but as something that I hope will last 6-7 years, I think I made a great choice that should carry me through to the next generation of televisions. I'm actually doing more watching on the TV again versus my tablet devices. It's an enjoyable experience to watch and makes television and gaming fun for me again.
Internet content most enjoyed: Netflix, Hulu+, Vudu, Google TV, Amazon Prime Instant Video, etc.
