From director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg comes a thrilling battle between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. When their epic struggle comes to Earth, all that stands between the Decepticons and ultimate power is a clue held by young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf). Unaware that he is mankind's last chance for survival, Sam and Bumblebee, his robot disguised as a car, are in a heart-pounding race against an enemy unlike anything anyone has seen before. It's the incredible, breath-taking film spectacular that USA Today says 'will appeal to the kid in all of us'.

True HD

This is really a great film. Audio is fantastic with True HD (I also own a HD version and only came in DD+). True HD sounds a whole lot better than DD. Video is very good also. This is one of my all time favorite movies.
What's great about it: picture and sound
What's not so great: cannot think of any
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent 3D movie for home entertainment

I thought the color was great, and so did my wife and teenage son, maybe it was the darker home theatre set-up and a large plasma television, 50". 3D experience was excellent along with the dolby digital surround. It does state to set the tv at a certain setting for color and 3D setting but I have my set-up that way anyways. I thought this was one of the better experiences for movies for the year. Highly recommend this Blu-Ray.
What's great about it: Great 3D and color was all right on my set up
What's not so great: could not think of any

Watched last night with my family. If you want a good movie to make your wife shut her eyes and plug her ears this is it. It is a suspenseful movie, you do not know where the strangers are going to be next..in the house or outside. Anyways overall not a bad movie.
What's great about it: acting

Escort Passport Max 0100016-1 Radar and Laser Detector: Rely on this radar detector for your car to keep you informed of who else is on the road. The unit also shows you where red lights and speed cameras are located so you can adjust your driving accordingly.

Absolutely no laser detection!!!!
By masterdinh from Texas
I have two Escort Passport Max. They work great in the city. I just got back from my road trip to Disney World. Got popped 94 in a 70 and the Max NEVER went off. I look up and I am going 94 with a cop behind me! Prior to this I thought this radar was invincible. Through out the states I saw state troopers point their lasers at me, my detector never went off. Like I said, I have 2 of these, one for me one for my wife. I am very disappointed.

You need the shifter for laser protection
January 5, 2014
Max isn't made for Laser..it will detect the Laser 99% of the time but it will be 100% too late of a warning. I recommend pairing your MAX with this for better protection. https://www.escortradar.com/store/laser-shifter-zr4.html

how much is a gold membership?

Is it cheap? o_O at least, what's the best buy?
If you buy certain games they include a free subscrition for x-box live for a month and it is usually a gold membership. I have two accounts one for me and one for my son. It is around 40 dollars a year if I remember right and I think it is worth it. You can download demos of the games and play them before you buy. Very expansive network of things to do

X-box 360 or PS3 which and why

Have not tried a PS3 but have a Elite and Pro for my boy. I use my elite to stream music, pictures, movies from my computer to my tv which is pretty neat. Also they just did a update for x-box live which improved everything a lot. I enjoy all the games you can purchase and the x-box live experience is awesome. Hope this helps.

What should i buy, a Xbox or a Xbox elite?

I purchased a Elite. The reason at that time the other consoles did not have hdmi cable hookup and also did not have a 120 gb memory. Now I believe most of the 360's have hdmi hook up. And you can also buy a 120 gb for memory now as a accessory.
