Fun but with issues
on May 5, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
The game is fun. It follows along a similar formula as Far Cry and Metal Gear in that you have main missions and a lot of side missions. The graphics are really good. Some games get way overboard with crafting and weapons options. Sniper has good solid crafting that makes sense. The weapons interface makes comparing weapons easy and straight forward.
However, this game has issues. Things I I don't like is you do not have the ability to do a quick save. This game is VERY SLOW to load. I have a good fast gaming computer and it loads so slow. I think it is Steam that is the issue.
This game also has more minor and some major glitches than the last 10 games I have played put together. There are so many spots where you get stuck and either have to go back to the last auto save or quit. I was walking through a pothole int he road and got stuck. I was climbing down a ladder that I had to go up for the mission and it would not let me get off. etc etc. My character has gotten stuck a number of times.
But the game is fun. I really like the stealth action shooter games.

Exciting but a little repetitive

The game was interesting enough. The graphics for the cut scenes were spectacular. This was the developers attempt at open world and for the most part it was pretty good. Lots of re-spawn locations which I found tiresome after awhile. Regarding the main store missions there were essentially 4 types of boss fights. Once you figured out the pattern necessary to defeat them they became routine. The main missions got away from the open world concept.
Over all the game is worth playing and can provide hours of game time. It just starts to get repetitive after about 12 hours.

Excellent for tracking but quirky on syncing

I purchased Charge HR when it was on clearance because my employer has several heath related benefits and we can earn points by tracking our activity. It has been great for self motivating myself to get at least 10,000 steps a day and be more conscious about how I move.
However, it has been a bit quirky about syncing. At first I synced it to my phone and it worked great for a few days. Then my phone (Galaxy S6) would not find it anymore. I verified it was not my phone at issue. Long store short I ended up syncing it to my work computer. However, I have to take it off and place it right next to the Blue Tooth dongle that came with it.
On another note. Setting it up and with FitBit was easy and streamlined. The app on my phone is slick and easy to use.

I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. On one hand it was a great purchase on the other not so. The Pro: It has great sound that can reach high volume and still sound good as well as really strong bass for its size. The Con: It has great sound that can reach high volume and still sound good as well as really strong bass for its size.
Good battery life and good range on the Blue Tooth

Low Cost impressive results

My daughter wanted the ability to watch TV in her room. So rather than paying $12 a month for a cable box and $300 for a decent TV I purchased a Roku Stick plus this monitor (has HDMI and audio outputs), and a decent set of computer speakers. Now she has HD TV in her room for only $50 + $110 + $25 = $185. I was leary as I had no experience with this brand but I am very please with the colors and resolutin.

Great Items, however could use minor improvments

I wanted to get the ROKU stick so i would not have to hook up my computer via HDMI to stream Amazon, Netflix and shows I failed to record on my TIVO. Hooked it up via Ethernet Cable to a gigabyte port on my router and I am simply amazed at how fast the Roku is. However, my TIVO failed on me and I am hesitant to pay for a new life time service. I hooked up a cable box, but the ROKU has become our main source of show watching. I even purchased a second one and a big computer monitor for my daughters bedroom. She now has HD video in her room. Just had to add on Computer Speakers. Cost a LOT less than a new TV or SmartTV.
My only two complaints and ROKU could fix this via upgrade.
1. I wish it had the capability of bookmarking shows you want to watch so you don't have to go looking for them all the time.
2. In a manner of speaking you can bookmark shows with the apps that carry it. however, it only seems to book mark those that cost a monthly subscription.

This dehumidifier really draws the water out of the air. I had no idea my prior one (not Frigidare) was so inefficient. You may be better off using the hose attachment it you can.

I bought an unlocked pixel 2 XL 2 weeks ago then when I was going to buy one unlocked version for my mom Last week they told that they stop selling unlocked version. I'm just wondering why? And how long do I have to wait. Thanks

For now I believe if you want an unlocked phone you must buy it direct from Google for full price.

For the 300 dollars off with monthly instalment plan, does that 300 dollars get reimbursed if i were to pay all 24 months up front?

No it does not. There is nothing to reimburse because you have not paid it off.

it would not make sense to pay on it for 4 months and then get refunded $300 if you paid it off.

i already have verizon network. 4 lines. can avail this offer of buying this phone on monthly payment plan

Yes you can add this phone in and replace one of your lines. If the line you want to replace is not paid off you will need to pay it off first.

I just replace my phone, which is one of 4 lines, and there was zero interruption.

No it does not. this is to entice you to keep your contract for 2 years. This is on the carrier, NOT Best Buy. If you choose to pay it off early you will be charged the full original monthly payment times the number of months.

Is the LG k7 compatible with the fitbit ??

Any smartphone that uses Android, Windows OS or Apple OS should be compatible with the FitBit. Rather it is not so much of a compatibility thing as installing the FitBit app to your phone.

If you have one of these operating systems and the FitBit app is somehow not available to you then it is probably a setting with your phone carrier.

How long is manufacturers warranty?

FitBit offers a one year manufacturers warranty

However, Best Buy does offer an accidental damage plan that I would strongly suggest.

Why do you not carry the XL size Charge HR Activity Tracker?

I see your question was posted 9 months ago. Since then Fitbit does not list devices as just small, medium, large etc.. but rather by maximum write size. Which in my mind makes a lot more sense.
When you click on the product it will show you currently available options for max wrist size.

They currently do carry the Charge 2 HR in small and large or wrist size up to 6.7 and 8.1 which according to FitBit are Large an Xl which I will bring to the moderators attention.
