One of Rush's best live concert videos.

Verified Purchase:Yes
With the Clockwork Angels String Ensemble, this concert stood out. Saw the trio live in Charlotte in October 2012 on this tour. I haven't liked the sound production on their latest concert videos but this one sounds great. A perfect balance.

What's not so great: No isolated camera views.

Good Music. Not their best.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not as good as Vapor Trails or Snakes and Arrows but Clockwork Angels works. I like Seven Cities of Gold and Headlong Flight but simply do not understand songs like Carnies. True Rush fans would not want to miss it.

Little disappointed.

I am a huge Star Wars fan from way back and now my son is a fan of the Clone Wars. We DVR every episode so when the movie came out last year we were excited to get it for him.
I watched it the first time with my son and would have bailed if I could without upsetting him. I could only watch it once and he has only watched it twice in a year. The plot centers around a Hutt baby and not the Jedi ro Clones, which leaves it pretty uneventful.
We do have the Clone Wars First TV seaon and cannot wait until Season 2 comes out later this mornth.
What's great about it: It's Star Wars.
What's not so great: Plot and overall story is pretty weak for a whole movie.

Not worth the money.

I bought this game for my son since he enjoys playing video games a couple of times a week. I would let him play a little more with a learning game such as this. This game is so unstructured that the player just wanders around looking for something to do. When you actually do find something, the difficulty level is far beyond that of a four year old. This is a child who can play all of the Lego games, Mario Kart and Wii Sports and is a great Pre-K student but can't enjoy a learning game. That doesn't speak well for the game. Wish I could return it.
What's great about it: Not much
What's not so great: Too difficult for kids under 5.

One word - Lame

Posted by: JPS007

I bought this game for my children thinking that a mini-golf game would be great on the Wii. I didn't expect them to get so frustrated that they were screaming at the TV.
I haven't ever really seen that kind of a reaction to a game from my children but I can understand from playing the game with them that this isn't what a mini-golf game should be. We were looking for a rany day substitute for a true game of mini-golf outside (you know - shoot the clown in the mouth for a free game) but instead got a ludacris game of nearly impossible courses at the 'medium' level.
What's great about it: Graphics
What's not so great: Too difficult for kids.

Best overall GPS in this price tier!

I have had this GPS for about six months and can find very few, if any, faults. Battery life is great. GPC satellite acquisition is quick. After downloading the most current map for free from Garmin, I found that most places that I wanted to go were included in the GPS. It does exactly as described!
What's great about it: Easy menu navigation, turn by turn
What's not so great: Nothing

Pretty lame for a war game.

Not really sure what the point of this game is. Luckily it doesn't last long so the pain is over quickly. Graphics are average and gamepley is rather easy. Difficulty doesn't change as you advance through the game.
What's great about it: Blowing stuff up and not much else
What's not so great: No storyline and no real challenge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very entertaining. Love the LEGO series.

Overall a really entertaining game. Many characters from the comic series return along with some newer versions. The game could be longer but it keeps my kids coming back to play a couple of times each week. Can't wait to get LEGO Indiana Jones,
What's great about it: Not too difficult for young ones but entertains me when I play with the kids.
What's not so great: Not much.

sku 9783649 120hz, yet display 60hz when you turn it on. why?

paid more for the 120hz, yet the manual and the tv itself prefers 60hz - what is up?
TV will display at 120 mhz when the source is input to the TV in that format. Most recent game systems and BluRay will output at 120 mhz. I have satellite which outputs at 60 mhz so all TV signal is at 60. Hope this helps.

Is there a diffference if you choose a higher refresh rate?

I don't know about satellite but Time Warner only provides me with a 60Hz HD signal right now so the 120Hz refresh doesn't help yet with cable.
It does help a lot with movies over my DVD player and BluRay. Regular DVD upconverted will play at 24 FPS. If played on 60 Hz TV, then the frame rate doesn't match and the TV will have to fill or skip frames (60/24=2.5). At the 120HZ refresh rate, the TV can process at full frames (120/24=5).
