Use this Klipsch ProMedia 3-piece speaker system to enjoy brilliant sound when playing games, listening to music or watching videos on your computer.

I was searching for something more compact as far as speakers go, almost a mini surround sound, well I wasn't disappointed at all! These are computer 2.1 speakers right? They are and more, you can hook up any portable media device, tv, etc with these! and I will tell you this, they are LOUD, the BASS is deep, the treble is great. I use these to watch a blu ray movie with my PS3, play video games perfect for RB3, also I plug my portable android device, ipad, or any portable media player, these are awesome. And yes, if you are looking for something compact and wanting some surround sound action, you won't go wrong with these! They do go on sale from time to time so keep your eye out for price change at your local Best Buy. Now if there was a CON, I would have to say that the only way to turn them off...is unplug them from the wall outlet, Now on the demo unit at Best buy it had a switch on the back of the sub you could turn on or off...HUH? Go get this U will LUV IT!!!
What's great about it: Sound, Bass, set up, smaller finally packs a PUNCH!
What's not so great: No turn of switch on the back of the SUB like displayed

![V: The Complete Series [3 Discs] (Std Sub Dig) (DVD)](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
The complete V television series invades the world of DVD in this set from Warner Home Video. All 19 episodes are included on three double-sided discs in a foldout accordion-style package that fits snugly in a silver shiny slipcase box. A perfect addition to the previously released prequel miniseries V and V: The Final Battle, this set is a sure-fire hit for those rabid V fans out there (you know who you are!). Presented with no extras, but with fine transfers, the series comes in its original 1.33:1 full-screen image with a Dolby Digital Mono audio track.

Love this DVD so glad I now have the complete collection of this TV series. this is a must have for your sci fi shelf. Now it is 80's humor/drama let me warn you. However if you liked the series back then.. it will grab your attention and you will be strolling down memory lane, like when you were watching this show on TV when it aired! Good buy and Great price! Note though the Dvd quality is what it is..so don't be expecting 1080p/hd quality.. its an old show that was captured in a capsule of time! ENJOY....watch out for the LIZARDS THEY are COMING! SSSSSSSSSS
What's great about it: Great DVD capturing the nostalgia what is V
What's not so great: Grainy video concern but expected

I had to purchase this installment of wii fit plus the first one was uh not really that great...it had some fun activities but nothing like wii fit plus.. the plus in wii fit is a nice touch! Love the snowball fight.. and the more options for balance, yoga, training, and of course more in depth when we talk about my wii fit plus..and you can do more planned and focused workouts to get the most of the wii fit plus. I wish nintendo would of come up with this installment first... more activity, more fun, and its a little more challenging! The kids love it too! now some games more repetative in nature and you will find yourself wanting to switch to something else soon. But for some of the games that you enjoy playing you end of playing over and over again! A must buy for your wii fit balance board as well. Cannot go wrong with this purchase..bottom line if you want more wii fit plus then you love what it has to offer. Go out and purchase this! Good for family fun and burning some calories.
What's great about it: Better than the first good activities!
What's not so great: none

Really good overall movie in blu ray I mean what not to like when it involves women and cars that's right curves on both ends of this spectrum. Really this was part 2 of the series to me.. right after the fast and the furious. now I have to get that movie to really have my collection complete. The plot of this movie was good... just lacked a little more depth of story. Action was there, the fast cars were there, and women were hot. I would recommend this movie to own.. though the price not really to be desired. of course though its Blu ray.
What's great about it: Women and Cars Can't go wrong there
What's not so great: plot was good not great

I purchased this the day it came out! this game is awesome. I did the first 30 day workout and I tell you I sweat like crazy from the running, the boxing, the inline skating down to the the side lunges... You really feel the burn and the bicep curls and tricep workout does tone you up...now just looking to put a routine together.. this combined with my membership at 24 hour will help me keep off the weight! now the bad is the nunchuk you have to keep pulling it out then back in the holder.. ugh. then the leg strap you have to really fasten tight or else it will fall and loosen. Overall this is a must buy the amount of activities on top of you can actually use your balance board you cannot go wrong Good job EA and good job Best buy for carrying this item!
What's great about it: you sweat and feel sore the next day
What's not so great: the leg strap and nunchuk

Which " Wii band instrument set" is the best for a 5 year old kid?
I want to buy a Wii band instrument set for my nephew for Christmas. He saw one kid playing the drums in one store and now he's crazy for it. I recently bought him Guitar Hero 3 and he's having troubles coordinating the notes. With so many brands in the market I was wondering if someone has developed a Kid's friendly set.
there is not a kid friendly set however there is no fail mode for RB at least don't know about GH but RB would be the way to go for your wii and you can pick up the Lego RB game being this is geared for younger kids to play the modes are easier.

New Super Mario Bros Wii
So what do you think, does it look like a good game? I think it looks awesome! The 4 player co-op mode looks awesome! I have already pre-ordered it! I went to their official site and it looks like they are going to release it in a red box. That would be awesome! So let me know what you all think!
This is a must buy game! Super mario bros in Wii format! Simply Awesome and yes the video of the game is great! Nintendo did very well here! I will be picking up this game for sure when it comes out. plus my kids can't wait to play it! they already play the old school super mario but this one will be a game for the ages on the WII!

PS3 Voltage
i want to buy a US PS3 which its 110V and i am wondering if is there dual voltage for ps3 which can use in country like Singapore which is using 220V?
not likely, the voltage is pretty strict due to region. best to consult a licensed electrician to see what is required for home and region use... of course I am sure it would work..however if there is a power surge or depending what wattage you are running out of your home you could do yourself and the PS3 harm!
