The storyline to this is okay, but not as good as the other Halo games. I use this primarily for online gameplay which is what over 100,000 other people still do. For those who like multiplayer matchmaking, the daily and weekly challenges keep the interest of the game.
For those who enjoy gaming, I recommend this with surround sound for a great experience. At minimum a sound bar with a subwoofer. I would recommend getting this to keep as entertainment until the release of Halo 4.
What's great about it: Multiplayer

My First Ever Seen on Blu-Ray
on July 10, 2012

This is the first movie I have ever seen on blu-ray which was about a couple weeks ago, and now I have a blu-ray player with a library of about 15 discs. The quality of movies, even animation, is best seen in blu-ray. The details of the hairs captured my attention and the sound quality takes the bar to a new level.
The movie and plot itself makes a great family movie. I watched Ice Age on DVD during a family trip which was funny. After I saw this one on blu-ray, I could not go back to DVD. I would like to see the remaining Ice Age movies.
What's great about it: Good family movie, Great sound and image quality

![Planet Earth [Special Edition]/Life [10 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
This sprawling two-part box set features a pair of the most acclaimed nature miniseries ever produced, each one a co-production of the BBC and The Discovery Channel. First on the bill is the legendary Planet Earth, narrated by Sir David Attenborough - an epic-length tour of the biodiversity of our planet, and a look at the various species that populate it. Next up is the 10-part program Life, a microcosmic voyage featuring 130 stories of life that exists beyond the scope of the human eye, and at the frontiers of the natural world, 54 of which have never before been cinematically told or seen.

When I was in high school, I was never into environmental science and nature. Now as a college student I still am not much into the subject; however, I am amazed by the information and quality given in this collection. As of now, I have watched throughout 4 of the 6 discs of Planet Earth and 1 out of 4 Discs of Life.
I have been watching these excursions on an LED television with a few extra speakers and a small subwoofer. The quality of the video seems too real and the captured footage seems as if they were in the eyes of nature itself. The colors shown from short scenes of the Earth from space are beautifully vibrant. David Attenborough does a good job narrating. The discs do not offers much on the extras which is why I gave it a lower rating. It is not the reason I purchased this collection, so it does not bother me.
For a phenomenal viewing experience this must be watched and it must be on none other than Blu-Ray. I haven't seen the preview for Frozen Planet, but I have a feeling I may purchase this collection as well.
What's great about it: Blu-Ray Quality, Scene footage, Music selection, Narroration Voice
What's not so great: Not many Extras

You feel the satisfying hum of power all around you as your car moves faster and faster. As you rocket down the course, the rest of the world melts away, your concentration narrowing on the track and your competitors. Victory is so close you can nearly taste the sweetness of it as you jockey for position and prepare to literally blast away the competition. Set your course for domination as you trade paint in a closely fought battle for ultimate racing supremacy.In Blur, you'll experience in-the-pack action as you race neck-and-neck with 19 other vehicles, constantly battling for position as you strive to be the first to cross the finish line. Get behind the wheel of a variety of licensed cars and push it to its limits across stunning real-world racing environments as you employ nitro speed boosts, defensive shields, land mines and more to blow your competitors away ~ sometimes literally. Watch cars smash and crash with photo-realistic intensity, and share the racing excitement with up to three friends in split-screen play or up to 19 additional players in online gameplay that will have you working together or fighting for bragging rights.

Great Value Game

I work for an entertainment/amusement company and our customers LOVE this game. I never heard of it until I became hired and I play it a lot on my free time. Take the magic of Mario Kart, the street thrill of Need For Speed Underground, and combine them to create Blur. This street racing game includes "power-ups" for gamers to make the races more interesting. This game also uses popular cars like the Supra, new Camaro, a few classics, along with some exotics, etc. There is a race mode, demolition derby, and more. The power-ups and crashing are the only violence you'll see which is even below mild. I would say it's appropriate for people of all ages. I enjoy playing multiplayer with co-employees and this would be great for a party. It is xbox live enabled, but I doubt anyone plays it. Why not purchase a game this fun when it is cheap?
What's great about it: Fun Racing, Popular Model Vehicles, Power-Ups
What's not so great: Not for those who expect realistic gameplay

MacBook Pro features Intel's latest quad core processor, the core i5 processor, for a boost in processor and memory speeds. New next-generation graphics deliver performance levels that are up to 60 percent faster than before. And high-speed Thunderbolt I/O lets you transfer data at rates up to 10 GBps. The MacBook Pro is a great computer that just got even greater.

After a compaq & gateway tower, a Dell & Sony laptop, I finally gave the Apple MBP a try. My mind is boggled after taking so many years to finally give their products a try because this is the one I am sticking with. What made me lean toward this product was having friends who said they were content with their MacBooks. One of my favorite features is the backlit keyboard since I type in the dark many times. I would say the processor is good, and the display is great. The Apple OS X interface does not take long to get use to. After having my MacBook for nearly a year, I can say that the battery life is better than any other PC laptop I've owned brand new. I've upgraded the RAM because the 4GB did not seem enough to me. I do not like that techs cannot upgrade any hardware except the HDD and RAM. Sometimes I also wish it had an HDMI port, which is what the newer models have, but it is not a must for me. As much abuse as I do, if this can last me a minimum of three years, then I will say that I am sticking with Apple's MBP series. So far, it has not let me down.
What's great about it: Battery life, Backlit Keyboard, Speed, Very little chance of virus
What's not so great: Cannot upgrade much hardware, No HDMI port
