You may be a maverick on your local golf course ~ but how will you stack up against the global competition when the action of the course appears at your fingertips in an all-new way? Test the wind, assess the hills and valleys and keep your eye on the flag ~ the triumphs and defeats of the fairway are more realistic than ever as the wildest, most thrilling golfing franchise sinks into the innovative, touch-controlled PlayStation Vita for the first time. Faced with tons of players on the course, environmental obstacles and a swinging system that picks up your every talent ~ and flaw ~ can you prove yourself to be a true Hot Shot?Tee up for nonstop competition against friends and bitter rivals in Hot Shots Golf ~ the one golf club that never closes. Drawing you deeper than ever into the social climate of the green, Hot Shots keeps you connected to your fellow swingers 24/7 with opportunities for both synchronous and asynchronous competitions any time of the day or night. Sometimes you like to be on the course solo, but in LiveArea, more is the merrier, as you gather up to 50 players on one hole for the most outlandish golf round you've ever seen. As you aim for the top of the leaderboards, take advantage of the PlayStation Vita's cutting-edge controls to lower your score. The right planning can make the difference between an extra stroke from the rough and a game-winning putt on the green. Prepare for the hole ahead by tapping into the unique front and back touch panel controls to get the low-down on the upcoming challenges. When you tee up, be sure that you swing with care, as the new shot system with evolved swing mechanics accurately translates your hit, slice or duff for a realistic result on the fairway.

I really like this game, it takes more of an arcade approach than simulation; no need to be hyper accurate or spend hours honing your skills with this title. There are plenty of unlockable items that range from different costumes, to new clubs and balls; you can even customize the figure on the desk that you see on the introduction screen.
One of the only drawbacks I have is in the circumstance that your ball ends up on the low end of a hill, there is no way to adjust the angle in which you hit the ball; this can make for an impossible angle in which the ball will just keep bouncing off the hill and rolling back. The only way around this is to shoot backwards, or to another angle before then going towards the green again.
The AI is decent, a few occasions where they seem to catch up a little to fast, or drift behind, but not a major issue.
What's great about it: Gameplay and Extras
What's not so great: Occasional issue with game mechanics

This game is a pretty fun, and a little bit challenging at times. I think $20 is a little overpriced for it though. I got it off the PSN on sale for $10; but then you don't have a physical copy. Best Buy also sells PSN cards for that route.
It is a strategy based game, if you have played and enjoy tower defense games this is very similar. Don't expect to much from the graphics side, its a game that was originally created for the iPod and iPhone.
There are 12 trophies in this game, but no platinum, which is uncommon for a retail game, but doesn't make it any less enjoyable.
What's great about it: Fun & Entertaining
What's not so great: Price

This is a very fun game to play whether you are in it for the exercise, or just the experience. It offers a pretty good challenge, and you can't fail!
Motion tracking is right most of the time; but can lose synch for no reason on occasion. The picture footage at the beginning of a song gives a false impression on how much is being captured; watching the replay afterwards shows that it captures a larger area.
Song selection is good, not fond of some of the songs but music is a very difficult thing when it comes to audience preference. DLC packs on the store force you to buy 4 songs at a time for nine dollars, they should have made individual song purchases.
What's great about it: Fun and Challenging, Partys
What's not so great: DLC Price's

Got stacks of CDs, videos, DVDs and cassettes? This sturdy library-style multimedia shelving unit is the ideal place to organize and display them. Multiple adjustable shelves let you arrange them any way you choose.
Posted by: Jacarda

This is really pretty cheap considering how much it holds. Being able to change shelf heights is why I choose this over other units.
Building it was pretty simple, but I would suggest to add the bottom pegs before assembling it, they are a little tricky to do from an angle.
What's great about it: Price, Storage Space, Low profile and it Looks Good

Great Stove

Posted by: Jacarda

This stove works and looks great, the quick burner is very nice.
The only gripe I might have is that some of the stainless steel panels are glued on and might start to unstick after a few years. There is one small corner that does not really like to stay down very well. That is only cosmetic though. Only time can tell, but still much cheaper than most stainless steel appliances.
What's great about it: Works and Looks Great
What's not so great: Glued on stainless panels might loosen over the years

The Elder Scrolls game never cease to amaze; the content, graphics and audio will keep you playing for 100+ hours easily.
Given the vast and open world to explore, and hundreds of items to collect it is no surprise that the Elder Scrolls game's do so well. The only downsides are the occasional glitches and sometimes the game-play can get a bit tedious for certain tasks. The skill menus are a big step up from oblivion; no more jumping around just to level agility, each skill feels useful this time around.
What's great about it: Breathtaking Scenery, Music, Game Length.
What's not so great: Occasional Glitches, Sometimes repetitive.

This release from the cult favorite sci-fi Western series Firefly includes all 13 episodes of the show, following the crew of the freighter ship Serenity as they survive the wild expanse of the newly colonized galaxy taking up jobs on both sides of the law.

This is a very entertaining show that can be watched very casually, pretty much every episode has its own unique story.
There are some major plot points, but they are not overdone, they tend to move along very well from episode to episode. The thing that amazes me the most is that I can like this as much as I can with the fact that it mixes Sci-Fi with Western. I know, it sounds very corny, but they actually make it work very well. I like the part of the intro where you see a herd of horses running and the spaceship comes not far behind making it seem like it is the spaceship herding the horses.
What's great about it: Good Show, Unique, Sci-Fi

Pretty much your basic movie which is centered around the world Apocalypse. If you are planning on buying this, buy it for the effects, the acting and plot are kind of dull and there are way to many close calls.

Buy what you want, when you want from the Playstation Store. NO Tax and FREE Shipping are what make this a great buy from Best Buy.
If you want instant credit on your Playstation Account you can use a Credit Card, this is good for gifts or those that do not like Credit Cards.

This is definitely for those of us that like B movies with very bad plots, if you want high quality, don't bother, but if you want to see giant piranha jumping 50 feet into the air into houses and buildings, this is your movie.
What's great about it: B Movie, Piranha that can take down a battleship!, Government Conspiracy
What's not so great: Nothing, its a $5 B-Movie, what more could you ask for

Live and breathe as Ezio, a legendary Master Assassin, in his enduring struggle against the powerful Templar Order. Embark on a journey into Italy's greatest city, Rome, center of power, greed and corruption to strike at the heart of the enemy. Your mission is to defeat the corrupt tyrants there, requiring not only strength, but leadership, as Ezio commands an entire Brotherhood who will rally to his side. Only by working together can the Assassins defeat their mortal enemies.Assassin's Creed Brotherhood introduces a never-before-seen multiplayer layer that allows you to choose from a wide range of unique characters, each with their own signature weapons and assassination techniques, and match your skills against other players from around the world. Experience more than 15 hours of single-player gameplay centered in the magnificent city of Rome. It's time to join the Brotherhood.

When I saw the youtube page for brotherhood, I was amazed; the first one was great when it came out then AC2 put it to shame, if brotherhood can do the same to AC2 it WILL BE the game of the year even as the third one made. One thing lacking in this game is challenge, some parts are extremely hard but most are just to easy, but everything keeps you on the edge of your seat, I've know these to be the best Series of video games ever (COD fans don't be offended) and I have very high expectations for this.

The Assassins Creed games are some of my favorite games, but there are a few things that should be known about this.
As for if this can excel above Assassins Creed 2 the same way as Assassins Creed 2 did with the the original, I highly doubt, this is not actually the sequel, Ubisoft even stated as much. This game is built from the same build and engine as Assassins Creed 2, though I will admit, it adds some sick new abilities and features by what I have seen on game-play videos.
The guild and Assassin recruiting looks great, but since the game has not even been released yet, it makes it kind of hard to comment on the game-play and features...

I am sorry that all you wanted to do in this game is beat women and kill shop owners; you have the freedom to do many things in the game, it is whether you choose to. If you are really that lost and don't know what to do then put down the how to troll manual and pick up the Skyrim one.

Does the 160gb playstation 3 come with a free controller if i get it at the store?
Yes, it includes everything you need to hook the console up. If you want HD visuals you will have to buy your own Composite or HDMI cables though, The system only comes with standard A/V cables.

Yes, what you want is a switch, you can get them with or without remote controls to control which device will be output. Otherwise you will have to press a button to switch from one output to the other.

What is better a ps3 or xbox 360?
I like PS3, but is a matter of opinion. Blu Ray and exclusives like Resistance, Infamous, Gran Turismo 5, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 4, Demons Souls, and many more are what won me over. I think what won me over the most though is the FREE Online.
XBOX 360 has Halo and Gears of War, never really been a fan of Gears, but I do love the Halo series. XBOX Live is a little easier to find matches in some games, which I think is due to a little larger fan base, but I still have never seen that big of a difference.

I would imagine over 95% of cd-r brands would be playable, as long as they are made right and hold the right content. And by content I mean either music or video, video will be a little more picky.

I would guess that it will replace the 160GB, and my guess would be that a new bundle will be packaged with a 500GB. Can't imagine them making it any larger than that though, this is the holiday season, so if its going to happen, it should happen soon. Otherwise, it might be a while.

I have a PS3 80GB that doesn't read my games, or movies. I think it is the blueray disk reader, how difficult is it to fix? Who can fix this, without sending it back to Sony? Is it expensive? Or should I throw it away and start over.
Only if you want to take it to a 3rd party or fix it yourself. You cant buy PS3 lasers Brand New, you would have to find one that is used, such as in a auction site.
Sony charges $150 for repairs on systems out of their warranty.

Can you play PS3 (250) gmes on PS3 (360) console?
I think what your talking about are the hard drives, which play no part in whether or not a PS3 game will play in them, all PS3 games play in all PS3 consoles. PS2 games wont play on PS3 consoles anymore since they changed to the new style, and don't get the PS3 confused with the X-BOX 360, which is a completely different system.
