Fun family movie
on July 24, 2016
Posted by: Dubya
Verified Purchase:Yes
This one had my 9 year old rolling, and I was right there with her. A really fun movie with an excellent cast. Can't go wrong with the Blu-Ray/Digital combo, because you can download the movie into Vudu and watch it on the go.

Not much to say here, really. It's a good idea and function + form = a nice product. Keeps everything charging without a lot of clutter.

Affordable protection

Thankfully I haven't tested out this case's drop/shock protection (yet) but I'm sure that day is coming. Easy to install and at the very least adds a layer of protection from bumps and bruises in my backpack.

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.

Return to a classic series doesn't disappoint
on May 14, 2016
Posted by: Dubya
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've always loved the Ratchet and Clank games, and I was definitely excited about the newest entry. It's not a re-master of the original series for PS4 (if you're looking for that, there's a Ratchet and Clank collection game). This is more of an origin story, prequel type game. Still has the great action, amazing visuals, and excellent sense of humor. If you're new to the series, don't be fooled by the cartoony exterior. The jokes and action in the game are safe for kids, for sure, but are also a blast for adults. Pick it up.

Excellent at what it does
on April 2, 2016
Posted by: Dubya
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this to improve the range of my wi-fi upstairs and I'm very happy with the purchase. I used to get maybe one bar, even after adding a different brand extender downstairs. Now I routinely get 3-4 bars upstairs and even use the signal from this extender when I'm downstairs. Thinking about junking the other extender since it's kinda' obsolete at this point. Incredibly easy to set up, and I'm a tech idiot.

Excellent fitness device
on March 12, 2016
Posted by: Dubya
Verified Purchase:Yes
Wife got this for me for Valentine's day. Makes it a game to track my steps, calories burned, stairs climbed, etc. It's certainly given me more awareness of what I'm doing to stay in shape. Only complaint on this is that I cannot get it to show calls from my phone consistently. Only does it when I'm already holding my phone in my left hand (Fitbit is on left wrist). Mild setback, but doesn't tarnish the overall product.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III is the ultimate 3-games-in-1 experience. In Campaign mode, you must navigate the hot spots of a new Cold War to find your missing brothers. Players can play the campaign cooperatively or solo and are now always connected to the intelligence grid and their fellow operatives during battle. Multiplayer features a new momentum-based chained movement system, allowing players to fluidly move through the environment with finesse, using controlled thrust jumps, slides, and mantling. Black Ops III multiplayer also introduces the new Specialist character system, which allows players to master 9 characters' battle-hardened weapons and abilities through a challenge-based unlock progression system. No Treyarch title would be complete without its signature Zombies offering. "Shadows of Evil" has its own distinct storyline right out of the box, set in the fictional 1940s Morg City, where four particularly troubled individuals ~ the femme fatale, the magician, the detective, and the boxer ~ star in this film-noir inspired horror story.

Exciting new take on a classic

Black Ops 3 takes the series in a new direction with the addition of classes, where each has a specific move or weapon. Breathes new life into the usual run and shoot feel of the series.

Come join the family for the hilarious and critically acclaimed breakout hit of the year! Featuring an all-star cast led by Ed O'Neill, Sofia Vargara, Julie Bowen, and Ty Burrell, Modern Family takes a refreshing and funny view of what it means to raise a family in this hectic day and age. Multi-cultural relationships, adoption, and same-S*x marriage are just a few of the timely issues faced by the show's three wildly-diverse broods. No matter the size or shape, family always comes first in this hilariously modern look at life, love, and laughter.

Each of the games in the LBP franchise are fun, creative, and offer something for adults and kids alike. Little Big Planet 3 stays true to tradition and brings even more to the table. It gives me a great game that I can play with my daughter where both of us get a challenge.

Is this unit suitable for use with IPhone 6?

Yes. And iPad, and battery chargers, Apple watch, electric razor, electric toothbrush, etc. :) I've got all plugged in right now, and it's humming along nicely.

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.
