Unusable out of the box
on March 8, 2017
Posted by: se7enationarmy

I am really surprised at all of the positive reviews. I have always been a huge Nintendo/Mario fan over all other gaming. With that said, you can't do anything with this console out of the box. A lot of people are commenting that it is only $300, but you literally can't do anything for that money. There only 9 total games available to buy and play at launch. And, in my opinion, the only one worth getting would be Zelda, which is $60. There is no backwards compatibility with games, so you can't play any Wii or Wii U games that you have bought. Also, there is no virtual console, so you can't download any of the games that you have purchased either. So your only option is to buy one of the measly 9 games which brings the cost really close to $400 with tax. They are forcing you to buy Zelda or their flagship 1,2 Switch game (which looks super cheesy in my opinion, and is only 2 player, so you can't play by yourself), because there is nothing else to play. And to not have a dedicated Mario game at launch is mind-boggling. The Wii came with Wii sports, the Wii U came with Nintendoland. Nothing with the Switch. I pre-ordered the Switch as soon as I could, and was super excited to get it. Then was immediately disappointed when I couldn't play anything without paying another $50. It is left to collect dust until the end of April when Mario Kart comes out.

Works great. No issues. As advertised. Perfect solution for turning something on and off that is not convenient to manually turn on. The only con is that it is rather big; it can cover four adjacent outlets.

Works as advertised. I have the transmitter in a closed cabinet and the subwoofer behind the couch, and I experience no delay with tv, movies or music. The only con is that the supplied cables are single RCA, and my subwoofer has red/white RCA connection, so I need to get an adapter.

Awesome little device. A must have for anyone who needs a cheap solution for watching Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and other apps on the big screen. Cheap, small, easy to use and setup. Control right from your phone or tablet. Best feature is that you can continue to use your device for other things while the Chromcast streams the video. Play, pause, right from the device. Now supports full screen mirroring on some devices! Anything on your device shows up on the screen. Love it.

Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle ~ not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

So glad this finally came out, but I would have to say it was not worth the wait. Mario Kart are my favorite games and I look forward to every new one that comes out. There wasnt too much "new" about this game to be that excited about. I got all the 3 stars, unlocked all characters, modes and got all the stamps in 11 days. Battle mode is great with friends, and I love the new highlight reel with slow down and rewind.

excellent mirroring device
on July 31, 2014
Posted by: se7enationarmy
from Endicott, NY
I use it in...:Large home
as long as your device is compatible, this will mirror everything on your device to the connected TV. easy setup, easy connecting. I am a DISH customer; so instead of paying extra to have Joeys in the other rooms, I use this to connect my phone or tablet. And using the Dish Anywhere app, I can watch live TV or any of my DVR recordings. A con is that, unlike Chromecast, you cannot use your device for anything else, because it mirrors exactly what you are doing. Another con is the how you have to adjust the settings. You have to long press a button on the device to enter the setup mode, connect your device to it, then visit a webpage to adjust the settings. So, if you need to adjust the picture size that is being displayed, you have to do this process, and you cant see your changes happen; you have to wait to connect it again to see if the picture is the right size. On top of that, if you use different devices, the picture size will be different for each device. A huge time waster.

Good ink, decent price, easy to install. It just doesnt last very long in our experience. We dont print things very often and we find that these cartridges get low very quick. Not sure if it is the printer always running "tests" and using up ink.

good case, bad stand.

It is an Apple made case, so it fits perfectly. And the smart feature is useful. But we have had the hardest time with the "stand" aspect. I am pretty tech savvy, and I can't get it to stay standing up on its own, even on a flat surface. So it is kind of useless for that function, especially if you are trying to use a Bluetooth keyboard to type.

Can I use Netgear Push2TV to connect my HDTV to my Toshiba All in One computer as a second monitor

I have a Toshiba All in One computer that has HDMI in but no out. The TV has an HDMI port (I just purchased both). I am told I can't use the HDMI connection to make the TV a second monitor because I don't have HDMI out. My computer has Intel WiDi and I am wondering if I use the Netgear Push2TV if it will make my TV the second monitor I want. Also, can I use the Windows 8.1 extended screen mode or will I only be able to duplicate the screen? Thank you, I appreciate your time.
if you have intel WIDI, then you should be able to connect to this. And there should be different display options, not just duplicate screen. We have intel WIDI on our laptop, and we have been able to use it for what you are asking. but, we have had all kinds of issues with the WIDI. i dont know if it is our laptop, but sometimes the software just "breaks" and it wont even open up, and you try and download it again and it doesnt work properly. again, not sure if it is just us, if we have an older version or something. our laptop is about 5 years old.
