Originally bought the Surface Pro 3 and returned it for this. I like the idea of this computer and the specs were better than the Pro. When I told the salesgirl I wanted this one she looked surprised/confused, like it wasn't a good choice. I inquired but she shrugged it off. I had to return the first one that I bought because the keyboard wouldn't pair! It turns out the code you are supposed to type in during the initial setup DOESN'T VISIBLY SHOW UP in the typing section leading you to believe it's not receiving it when it really is. The problem with this is once it tries 5 times it won't let you try again and you are unable to connect it later. I called tech support and they wanted me to send my brand new from the store laptop in to repair the issue, not even trying to troubleshoot, they were completely clueless. I figured it'd be faster to just exchange in-store. I've had good service with HP in the past which is why I stuck with them again but on this specific laptop, it is Best Buy exclusive and AS SUCH, is not a wide release laptop and tech support will have few answers for you when problems arise with it compared to a higher released model. This makes me very nervous going forward. My other complaints would be a) the audio - for being Beats, it's actually incredibly weak, I have to connect an external speaker. I thought the right side wasn't even working but it's just substantially quieter than the left in an attempt to create an artificial surround sound. Instead it leaves much to be desired. B) since it is a tablet, it is not easily expandable inside. The graphics card isn't as powerful as I would like and I can't update it, which is upsetting. And finally c) the back of the keyboard is CLOTH and gets dirty VERY EASILY! I had this 2 weeks and only moved it between my living room and bedroom and it is already stained! :\ So overall, it's a good computer, not great. Can DEFINITELY be improved upon.

Excellent deal for storage space

This item was a great deal on the amount of storage space it offers. You can really trust the SanDisk brand with your data.

Shiny, pretty upgrade to a bare previous release. Love the lenticular slip, bummed that Disney decided to discontinue the practice after this release

564 series is a disappointment
on April 18, 2013
Posted by: BenAndrewsNYC
from NYC
Along with the other cartridges in the 564 series, these cartridges run out very quickly and can get expensive to constantly replace. The photo-black cartridge lasts slightly longer for me as I don't print may actual photos, but dang! Why you gotta do me like that, HP??
My Best Buy number: 403396595
What's great about it: nice print quality
What's not so great: runs out fast!

![Armageddon [DVD] [1998]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/a4a1e206-086b-4ff1-b01c-576f2e3a56f9.jpg)
Michael Bay's sci-fi action film Armageddon comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. The English track gives every speaker in the system a real workout. There are no subtitles on this release. Supplemental materials include theatrical trailers and the music video for Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." This disc will please casual fans of the film, but those looking for a deeper understanding of the film will want to look at the Criterion DVD release.

Nice upgrade to an aged title
on April 18, 2013
Posted by: BenAndrewsNYC
from NYC
I bought this as a gift for my mother for Christmas (her first blu-ray title, along with a blu-ray player) as it is one of her favorite movies, and it was a hit. I watched it and the picture and sound (moreso) are pretty good compared to the old dvd. A great update if you're considering upgrading from the DVD

What's great about it: Sound and picture upgrade
What's not so great: movie shows it's age at times

Great update to a classic
on April 18, 2013
Posted by: BenAndrewsNYC
from NYC
when I say over-restored, I'm talking about the restoration teqnique used on this particular title. It IS beautiful, but in comparison shots, you can see some things get lost (specifically in the dress transformation scene, which was reportedly Walt's favorite piece of animation he ever did), so that is a bummer, but overall it is very beautiful. A welcome update to a classic Disney title!
What's great about it: beautiful picture

Not Disney's best...
on April 18, 2013
Posted by: BenAndrewsNYC
from NYC
I bought this title because I collect all Disney animated titles. The picture is a slight upgrade from the DVD version, but more could have been done to clean it up, so I was a little disappointed there. Most kids now probably wouldn't care to sit through this one, it's certainly not among Disney's strongest titles, but a step above some of the lower ones (like Dinosaur or Oliver and Co.)

Good movie with great musical numbers
on April 18, 2013

As a big Christina Aguilera fan, this film was a must see for me. While I will admit it isn't drop-dead amazing, it IS still pretty dang good :) Would have been better if the Best Buy exclusive (a version that included a promotional corset) wouldn't have been pulled from shelves after being pressured from some "mom" organization, sigh.

Got a great deal on this title here at Best Buy, it was a welcome upgrade on all levels from my DVD version. Would have liked some film-related bonus features, like a making-of, however.
