![Glee: The Complete First Season [4 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
This release from the acclaimed musical series Glee includes all 22 episodes of the show's first season, following high school choir director Will Scheuster as he attempts to save the woefully unpopular Glee Club at William McKinley High School. Despite finding a surprising number of gifted performers in the student population, Will faces obstacles, like the meddling sabotage of cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester.

The plot was great for the first half of the show. I like how they branched off and had others sing like the Acafellas. It was a great way to add diversity to the mix instead of focusing too much on the kids. Then the second half of the show focused more on the kids and emphasized less on the other characters and their personal lives/problems which can make it annoying when it's just the kids over and over again. Still, great season.
The quality of the show can look horrible when the kids would sing on stage. There are times when all those stage lights (which I assume is causing the bad quality) are filmed with the kids singing, the lights cause this laminated look to the picture that makes it look very sub-par quality. Outside of the stage, everything else looks great.
The extras aren't great except the Jukebox which cuts into all the songs right away and play them for you. That's the only feature I like along with the karaoke and the rest are just lame stuff to fill up the disc, I guess.
Overall, great season so hopefully they'll have more characters branching out and sing more songs to add more development than just those set of kids always having problems because there's only so much you can write before the ideas run out.
What's great about it: Great songs and a plot full of surprises and laughter.
What's not so great: For Blu-ray, there are times when the quality looks horrible.

This is a great game to have for everyone to enjoy! The only downside is that it may take a while to harmonize with other singers accurately which makes the game even more fun and annoying as you can have multiple singers playing all at once.
What's great about it: Going through the timeline of the Beatles
What's not so great: Harmonizing with other singers makes it difficult

Good game for the kids to avoid any bad content

Good game with great selections. I like how they only offer songs that are appropriate for children and the other songs from the rock band music network are prohibited. You also can purchase a key to transfer the songs to your PS3 so the songs can be played on Rock Band 2. Too bad it's $10 unlike a $5 price tag for transferring Rock Band to Rock Band 2.
What's great about it: You can transfer the songs over to Rock Band 2
What's not so great: You have to pay for the song transfer key which is another $10

The game is good for karaoke enthusiasts. This series requires the specific use of their microphones so any other won't work. These microphones are best to be used with Singstar only because I tried it in Rock Band, and it can't do the tambourine part along with matching the vocals right. It also can't be used for Disney Sing It since the vocals are off too.
The song selection is decent. It has a lot of oldies on their from the 80's and 90's but not a lot of updated songs. Rap songs can be hard to rap to since you have to say the words just right or you'll end up with a bad score. Sometimes the lyrics go too fast as the game doesn't give you enough heads up depending on the song so sometimes you feel like you have to know the song beforehand to actually do well.
The thing I like about this game is that you actually see the music video instead of having bad animated characters dancing and singing like the American Idol series.
What's great about it: Cool to see the music videos of each song.
What's not so great: Song selection needs to be more updated. Too many old songs and can be hard to play. Requires specific microphones

Everything is great about the movie. The only gripe I have is that the special features are very limited. There is a gag reel which is good but the best part is Kim Jeong's portion where he does improv. It's pretty funny but other than that, the rest of the features are lame. The extra pictures don't do the slide like it does in the end of the movie. It's very one dimensional where you go through pictures one by one by clicking on the arrows with no background music except for flipping the page noise. Overall, the actors were good and the jokes were great.
What's great about it: Jokes will ensue a lot of laughs
What's not so great: Except for Kim Jeong, the other extras are lame.

I don't think the game lived up to its hype. The Special Ops tasks are ok. I'm not a big fan of the snowmobile task since it's pretty much like any other downhill game. Playing online is horrible. I hate how they switch servers when the host quits and how long it takes to connect with others. They should add more servers and update them. The storyline is great but campaign was beaten under 6 hours. Overall, it's still a great game but I was expecting more. I'll just play this and Call of Duty: World at War for a while.
What's not so great: Online gaming is horrible. Campaign was beaten in 6 hours.

Great movie that may be a little difficult for younger children to watch since it outlines a miscarriage and death. Besides that sad overtone, it's a great movie that everyone can enjoy. The cloud short was a great one that many people enjoy. Dug's adventure short isn't that great but doesn't hurt to watch it.
What's great about it: Great Movie and it comes with that great Pixar short with the clouds
What's not so great: I'm a big hater when it comes to Blu-ray packaging. Discs easily fall out of the cover when opened.

![Weeds: Season Four [2 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3971ef4e-e7f5-41bf-a8c0-c0da51908395.jpg)

Weeds is losing its hype but the following seasons after the 3rd season are still funny, but the plot may not be so great. It is still funny to watch. The only gripe I have is the packaging. I opened the case and the disc fell out because it wasn't fully held in by the disc holder. Other than that, the format is a bit different when playing with the new control menu but it's nothing bad.
What's great about it: Great Season
What's not so great: Packaging

This is a great movie that can entertain adults and kids. It has a great cast that helps seam the story well together.
The extras are just stupid stuff that kids will ignore since it's just simple stuff and the music video was dumb too.
What's great about it: Animation and the plot with very humorous scenes
What's not so great: Extras are lame

Dexter is back! The critically acclaimed and groundbreaking original series from Showtime starring Michael C. Hall, returns to DVD with all 12 riveting and chilling episodes in Dexter The Second Season. Although committed to carrying out his twisted brand of vigilante justice-Dexter begins to doubt his murderous capabilities and continues to be haunted by his tortured past. His difficulties multiply when evidence of his deadly after-hours activities begin to surface and the FBI is brought in to investigate the city's new serial killer dubbed the 'Bay Harbor Butcher.' Dexter can't pause for a breathe as the noose tightens and the questions keep mounting. Will he be able to continue his serial-killing ways? Or will Dexter's dark past finally be uncovered?

This season's plot is great as Dexter is being hunted. The plot weaves perfectly into the game of chasing the Dexter all over Miami while protecting and going extremes to hide himself from the FBI. This is probably my favorite season since it has a lot more action and climaxes at every episode.
Just watch out for the second disc. It can easily pop out of the case and get scratched.
What's great about it: This season's plot is awesome!
What's not so great: 2nd disc can easily pop out of case and be scratched if not handled properly

I think it should work. I used my ps3 cable to hook up Garmin's Nuvi 205 to my laptop to download updates.
