Not much more can be said about this film, that most have not said already. It was truly the fan service that long time Star Wars fans have been waiting for, and I am always spotting more and more 'Easter Eggs' every time I watch it. I opted for the Steelbook edition for the extra features, since like most Star Wars fans, we earn for more and more information and content.
They did a phenomenal job on the HD capture, and the movie looks even better than it did in the IMAX theater. This is a no brainer purchase for any Star Wars fan, and I look forward to Rogue One, as well as Episode VIII.

I purchased this little guy when Best Buy had a sale ($120) the day The Force Awakens came out to Blu-ray/DVD. I have been eyeing it for some time, and have been impressed with the quality of other Sphero products I have seen.
It pretty much does what is advertised. Well constructed, and the app for controls is easy to use. Just be mindful of what surface it is on, due to the fact he was super fast on my hardwood floors, and I had to turn his sensitivity down. The animals love him as he rolls around the house, just be sure to check the small wheels under his head after you are done, since it can collect human or pet hair around the them, and can be a little tedious to clean out, regardless of how clean your floors are kept. I assume the rolling plastic material, combined with the magnet for the head to stay on, builds a very slight static charge since I have to also while his main body down due to it as well.
The additions of him reacting to The Force Awakens was a nice touch as well. He went insane with excitement when he saw his buddy Po Dameron and we got a kick out of it. Charming little product, and I look forward to what other additions they plan to do with the software, as well as hoping they make a larger model down the road.

I actually walked into the store to purchase the 1080p W800C, when an associate had an open box of this set for almost $100 less than the W800C. It was brand new and never even taken out or turned on. So the decision to purchase it was a no brainer. 120hz panel, 4K resolution, smaller pixel density, and I cannot rave enough about the X1 scaler.
1080p content still looks crisp due to how well the scaler handles it. I was adamant to get 4K due to the fact I mainly play video games, but when I seen a PS4 running on a Sony 4K, it made the decision to get this much easier. It looks native due to the fantastic scaling tech they use as well as the even resolution scale of exactly 2 times height and width.
I did return one for another due to light bleed being heavier than I liked, and the second set I have is much better in that regards, especially with minor tips I read online to help eliminate it more.
I only have one issue, and hope a Sony Rep can comment on, the bottom left of the screen, against the TV frame edge, has a slight bright over saturation of a blueish tint from the bottom corner, about 3 inches long, and only about 3/8 inches wide. It is mainly apparent in white or blue/violet/green scenes displayed on screen (i.e. Playstation 4 dashboard). It is not as noticeable with film watching. I could not find any information about this anomaly online anywhere.
Go back to the beginning in this reimagined version of Ratchet & Clank for the PlayStation 4. Its deepened origin story is revealed through over an hour of cinematic movie sequences, and the new planets, game play and boss battles keep the experience fresh. Protect the Solana Galaxy again with the robust arsenal of weapons in Ratchet & Clank.

If you are a fan of 3D platformers, and sorely missed them over the years in a sea of open world, RPG, FPS games, then do yourself a favor and pick this one up. Insomniac did a fantastic job with this reboot. The graphics are phenomenal, the controls precise and tight, and the weapons are hilarious and fun to use. There is a reason this game was unanamously well received by the critics, it really is that good.
Great for the entire family, as well as that awesome impulse price. I truly hope this is a sign to come for these classic games to make a comeback, and I look forward to a sequel.
They say for most people that doing is learning ~ being told how to do something, or even shown, isn't nearly as effective as jumping right in and giving it a try for yourself.

I dabbled with playing the guitar over 15 years ago, and basically self taught myself through tablature. My girlfriend is an accomplished musician who plays acoustical folk style music, and she was also impressed with how the lessons were structure once she got used to the interface. It is much deeper than I expected, and has a phenomenal learning curve. While it does not dive into music theory much at all, it does a very good job (almost overwhelming at first) with all the various chords to help you build up your chord progressions. The lessons start you off slowly, and build you up based on how well you progress, and do a very good job at being patient and non-bias that you may get with some guitar instructors.
My only issue I have with it, is that just as in the name Rocksmith, it focuses mainly on the power chords side of guitar. I do hope they build upon this down the road, and can possibly have more acoustic additions to the franchise, considering all of our acoustic guitars that have built in electric pickups work just like our electrics with it.
If you are interested in learning the guitar, do not have time or the finances to take lessons, this is definitely a must buy. Again, it works.

Purchased the camera back when they had it on sale, around the time the Playstation VR pricing was revealed. Having a lot of fun at parties when friends come over, as well as the voice commands are a nice bonus due to the built in mic. Great build quality and construction which is expected from a Sony product.
