Very Very Good....not Great
on August 22, 2016
Posted by: AlecJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Netgear router is definitely in the upper tier of speed and network options. Its easy to use and simple to hook up. I have absolutely zero problems with it as of today.
Two small cons- It could have a bit longer range, and in a big house you would probably need a booster to use wi-fi on other floors. 2nd, it only has slots for 4 wired connections. If you have multiple game consoles, and a desktop or two....you are already out of room. Maybe thats the norm, but i could use another couple slots.
Otherwise, its a great router i would heartily recommend. Much better than our last one from a different brand.

The Best GTA Ever and Getting Better
on December 31, 2015
Posted by: AlecJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
GTA 5 has it all. A good story, a thousand things to do, and an online aspect that is still being supported and growing today.
If you are a fan of the GTA franchise, this is a must play. It takes everything great about the series and makes it better.
Beyond that, it is one of the most fun experiences i have ever had in a game world.
Yes its violent and crass, but its cartoonish and exaggerated.
GTA V is a classic that has set a new bar for open world adventure.

Still the PS3 Dualshock
on August 5, 2015
Posted by: AlecJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sony's Dualshock has become the best controller on the market.....at least the PS4 version.
The PS3 model is a quality product but the triggers are a bit too rounded and its obvious there was some room for improvement.
Being that you cannot use the PS4 controller for your PS3, id advise you to purchase a Dualshock 3. No third party controller nears its high standard of construction and usability at this price point.

A jurassic sized game
on August 5, 2015
Posted by: AlecJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
Jurassic World continues the tradition of well put together Lego games. It contains cute, kid friendly versions of all 4 movies, plus a gigantic sandbox to explore and discover.
Make your own dinosaurs, use them to help characters, and pick up thousands and thousands of Lego bits. There is fun to be had by the young and old alike.
If you like Lego games, and are a fan of the Jurassic Park movies, this will not disappoint.
It may be the biggest hub world in a Lego game, yet, as you can wander the islands from the movies, finding special Lego bricks and unlock characters virtually everywhere, across massive landscapes.
Another solid outing for the Lego team.

When comparing these batteries to the ones we have been purchasing, its no contest. Energizer has lasted not only longer, but much, much longer. There is a giant difference between this product and generic versions.

The shadows are his home and keeping Gotham's citizens safe is his sustenance. Darkness envelops his every move and his legend lives in the whispers of each passerby. Known by many names ~ the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, Batman ~ this man lives to protect. But by pitting himself against the criminals of a city, he has only made his laundry list of powerful enemies grow. One after another, a new and nefarious threat has risen up and one after another Batman succeeded in bringing them down. But what happens when those menacing masterminds join forces? Who will rescue Gotham when a deadly roster of depraved lunatics gangs up on the shadowed warrior? Who will save us all?The finale to the legendary Arkham series explodes onto your screen in the most adrenaline-pumping storyline yet. The Scarecrow has returned to Gotham City and he has united a terrifying team of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn. For the first time in the franchise, you get to step behind the wheel of the iconic Batmobile as you harness the power of Batman and scramble to outwit the wicked gang after your blood. Tear through the streets and soar across the skyline in heart-pounding gameplay that will suck you in and force you to ask yourself if you have what it takes to save Gotham. Do you have it within you to be the hero the city needs? Or will the villains of Gotham overtake the Dark Knight once and for all?

An excellent end to the Arkham Story
on August 5, 2015
Posted by: AlecJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
The final chapter of Rocksteady's Arkham trilogy has all the best systems from their previous games, Arkham Asylum and Arkham City....plus one big new one, The Batmobile. Some things have been slightly improved from earlier titles, like the mission wheel, while the Batmobile (and its neat "tank mode") is a completely new and exciting way to take on baddies.
The story is really quite good, with a twist you may or may not see coming, but should enjoy either way. Past characters with famous names return, but their are new ones, too.
It really is the culmination of everything Rocksteady has built since beginning development of their first Batman game, Arkham Asylum. Arkham Knight is an excellent game with enough to do and experience to warrant its 60 dollar asking price.
If you are a fan of Batman and video games, this is a no brainer.

This speaker is amazing for the price and size. It sounds full and loud and has a range that should be far enough for most uses.
If you want to stay on the cheapest end of the bluetooth speaker spectrum, you cant go wrong with the iHome mini cube.

Does it work on a PC?

Not really
Not without a bunch of tweaking that is of expert level computer manipulation. The Xbox 360 controller was the standard of PC gaming before this latest generation of console.

dual shock 3 battery replacement

do you have instock the battery for the ps3 dualshock3 controller
No- the battery is internal. You just have to charge it, like you would a phone. The console comes with a cable that connects it to the controller for charging, but there are also many products made just for charging your controllers. Some are quite reasonably priced.

Bose~ SoundLink~ Mini Speaker: Enjoy full, robust sound anywhere you go with this speaker that features an ultracompact design for easy movement from room to room. Bluetooth technology allows you to wirelessly stream music and more from your compatible cell phone, audio player and more.
 

Bose speaker randomly turning off

I don't understand why my Bose speaker continues to randomly turn off even with a full battery charge, there's nothing obscuring the connection from the Bluetooth device (my phone) to the speaker itself. And the software has been updated.
I would send or take it back. It shouldnt turn off unless the battery goes dead, so if its turning off, you may have a bad battery or battery connection. Both are issues you shouldnt have to deal with yourself.

Will it work for my monitor

My monitor didn't come with speakers. Can I plug this into my hdmi slot on my monitor for sound?
It has a typical earbud size Aux jack in the back, so if you can find an adapter that goes from your monitor to that size input, it will definitely work, in my opinion.

It also has bluetooth capability so you may be able to connect it that way depending on your computer.
