Packs a lot of sound into a small package

My wife picked this up before we went on vacation with some friends and it was a real hit. Everyone was able to sync their phones to it within a couple of minutes, so we all had access to the sound. My buddy and I took it golfing with us and it tucked nicely into the storage area of the golf cart.

I gave my wife grief, but I was wrong

My wife bought this Garmin before a trip to Santa Fe recently and I had some fun heckling her about being the only person who still uses an external GPS instead of her phone. But this thing came in really handy in the mountains when Siri was nowhere to be found. I've been eating some crow. :)

You and your elite team of Ghosts must infiltrate and destroy the deadly cartel to save Bolivia, and its people, from total collapse.

This game is HUGE.
on April 8, 2017
Posted by: Dubya
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've probably put 30 hours into the game so far, and I've barely scratched the surface. The ability to work as a team helps to clear out the bad guys, and there are a variety of ways to get a job done. Want to ride in on a motorcycle with guns blazing? Check. Go stealth and parachute in at night from a helicopter? Cool. Or fan out your team and snipe from 300 yards? Done. The terrain is quite varied also (mountains, salt flats, water, etc.) but my only complaint is that there is a lot of repetition within each geographical area. For example, I've cleared out five farms that had the exact same layout. Not a deal breaker by any stretch, however.

Excellent package deal

I love this camera. The 300 mm lens is perfect for those shots that are just out of reach with the standard 18-55 mm lens. I haven't even gotten to mess around with the wifi transfer yet, but that was certainly a selling point (no hassle with memory card readers). There are a ton of features that allow you to set different scenes for your shot, and the picture quality is amazing.

I found these on sale at Best Buy for around $4.00 each. They do exactly the same job as the $20.00 lightning cables, but my kid loses at least one cable a month, so I can't afford to keep her stocked up with the premium ones. :)

I picked this game up in the $20 bin at Best Buy and it's been a steal at that price. It's a solid, challenging RPG with some pretty cool tech to it. I haven't messed around with the multiplayer, but the campaign mode is a good time.

Excellent alternative to the $80 Apple option

I needed an external read/write drive for my Macbook Air, but I didn't want to drop another $80 on the Apple version. This LG drive does the trick nicely. I haven't tried it out with movies yet, but it handled the installation of my Adobe Photoshop like a champ.

Is this unit suitable for use with IPhone 6?

With the appropriate adaptor for each U S-designed plug, can it be plugged into a European-style outlet?

I am going to France next month for a river cruise. The river boat will only have the 220 plugs available in our cabin. Most of my electronic needs already can handle the dual voltage requirement for use in both the US and in Europe. If I put the appropriate plug adaptor onto this outlet's US-style plugs, can I plug it into the hotel's and the boat's 220 outlets so that I can then use my US dual voltage items without their own adaptors?
I don't know if this answer will help you now, since your trip has already passed. But for anyone else facing a similar issue, I wouldn't recommend it. My answer is not based on this particular item, but on a different USB/AC adapter. I was recently in South Africa and tried to plug a block similar to this one into a wall using the appropriate S.A. adapter. Heard a loud pop and then the lights went out. My dad used a regular old power strip in his room and had no issues. Guess you can always take both, and use the power strip as a backup.
