This is a worthy investment for your LED-LCD TV. Makes the colors pop and details sharp. My GS Tech was on time and spent 2 hours setting it up. He was very professional, explained everything and took the time to show me all the changes. He also set up the day/night settings and locked them into the TV and he recommends leaving it in day mode all the time and going to night mode to watch movies. He even stayed a little extra to show a few features about my Denon Remote!! The only complaint is the price. This should be about $100 cheaper. Do your homework on the GS agents, I asked my Best Buy to provide feedback and surveys on the agents and I was able to pick the agent to do my service. As we all know, some of the GS agents are less than spectacular.
What's great about it: Natural Look, Day/Night Set Up
What's not so great: Price

Easily navigate through applications on your Mac with this mouse that features force-sensing side buttons and a scroll ball. Optical technology provides accurate cursor movement on most surfaces without the need for a mouse pad.

Comfortable to use, simple design. I accidentally dropped mine about 2 inches the other day and the roller was knocked out of whack. It will scroll every way but down. Apple won't replace (wear and tear) and Best Buy won't either, same reason. This just gives me an excuse to get the wireless one now. Still a great product.
What's great about it: Way better than windows mouse
What's not so great: Fragile

Perfect for Shooters!!

Perfect for shooters and racers!! Takes about 3 min to get use to, but once you get a feel, works like a champ. I play Red Faction G and I find it easier to dispense the death. Only complaint is if the kickers are pulled to hard they can snap off and if you drop it onto a hard surface they'll fly off, very hard to find under the sofa!! Great product
What's great about it: Makes death even easier
What's not so great: Durability Issues

Ascetically nice, simple use, good charge speed

I've owned for about 3 months and although I'm please with the entire set up, it's not practical for me. I primarily charge my controllers via cable while I'm running Life with Playstation (Folding Home Project) therefore this is nothing more that aesthetics. Don't get me wrong, great set up and use, just not practical for what I do.
What's great about it: Extra USB ports, nice look
What's not so great: Takes practice to plug in

For the price you can't be beat, I can't believe these are even listed, it's soooo hard to find at stores. With the refurbished model you'll get a geek squad warranty as well, Premier Silver ring a bell!?!? I've received a refurbished iPhone from the geek squad and it had a file compressor installed; wonder if geek's did it for the PS3's as well.
MUST BUY SUPERIOR TO XBOX IN EVERY WAY!!!
What's great about it: 80GB, PS2 Compatibility, Cheaper
What's not so great: Still a Brick

War Ensemble alone makes this album worth it, throw in Seasons of the Abyss, Expendable Youth and Dead Skin Mask and all others and this a great, underrated Slayer album.

Best Star Wars Game Ever!
on January 17, 2010
Posted by: Nightmare317
from Travis AFB, CA
This game is a must have for any PS3 owner. The story is well written and incorporates a good mix of new/old characters. Very fun to play, I mean, who doesn't want to use Force Lightning, Force Choke, Force Push and Force Repulse?!?!? I recommend buying the Ultimate Sith Edition though, it comes with 3 DLC (Downloadable Content) packs and is costs $40. The DLC's alone will run you $10 each on the PS Store. You don't need the strategy guide either, there are plenty of good websites out there that have walkthroughs.
For the trophy hunters; this game contains 48 story trophies and 17 from the DLC packs for a total of 65!! The Platinum can be obtained with about 3-4 weeks of work without using cheats and the replay value is very high. BUY THIS GAME!!!
What's great about it: Story, Graphics, Force Lightning BBQ's
What's not so great: More time as Vader

This is a standard issue GH game. The greatest hits are a good selection of songs, but nothing spectacular. The 2 biggest hits are still missing, Hanger 18 and Madhouse. Good skill game and as usual, a pain for trophies. The platinum is pretty much unattainable; I don't know anyone that can play Slayer and Dragonforce on expert perfectly. It's fun for a couple of play throughs and that's it.
What's great about it: Greatest Hits, 4 guitars at the same time
What's not so great: Nothing new

Is it worth it, getting the 2yr Warrenty with the PS3??????
YES!! Get the warranty, you walk in with your busted system, they check the receipt and you walk out with a new one!! I recommend to always back up your data with a thumb drive as they do not transfer for it for free. Geek Squad will charge you $50 for the transfer. Don't worry about the trophies, those sync to the Sony server and replaced by syncing the new console with the server.

How long is your warranty on Ps3 and do you offer military discounts?
Best Buy does not offer the warranty unless you pay for the Black Tie Protection which varies based on the system size and the length of warranty. Best Buy as a corporation, does not offer a military discount. However, I'm in the military as well and my BBY offers a military night 3 times a year which gives us 10% off everything in store (except price locked items) and 20% of all Geek Squad services. Talk to your local BBY and have them contact the BBY in Vacaville CA about hosting a military night. They do it right, they do it the best

How can I get them cheap?
I was going to buy a ps3 but the whole thing is I'm on a tight budget right now, and I'm not really into the whole online auction deal where you have to give your credit card number and all that personal information. It seems that everywhere I look they're at least $250 or more and I'm not looking for a 320GB ps3 I just need even a 40GB I just need some help.
If you want one cheap you'll have to go pre owned route. Sony has discontinued the 40/80 GB models. Now that BBY has preowned check the stores in your area to see if they've got any and if not, check the competitors.

Does Best Buy carry an 80gb Playsation 3, new not refurbished? And how much would it cost?
Not any more as Sony discontinued that model. If you do find one I would buy it as a lot of PS3 owners prefer that model (myself included) and would jump at the chance to get it again. I prefer that modal as it has 4 USB ports, and the extra memory slots (SD, XD, etc.). If you do find one expect to pay around $300.

what is the lifespan of the slim ps3
i know frum experience and research that the "fat" models only had about 2 year life..then u encounter laser and overheating issues..have these issues been addressed on the slims?
I have a fat model that's lasted for 4 years. I play about 10-20 hours a week. The secret to taking care of any of the new gaming systems is ventilation! Keeping your system in a well ventilated area will extend it's life many years. Dust the components regularly and keep any moisture away. The same goes for the slim models; keep it ventilated and it will last years.

Can you trade in ds games for wii games
i have ds games but i dont use them at all because my ds broke but i have a wii and i play it and i want to get rid of them
Certain Best Buy's will take trade in's based on condition of the game. The newer the game, the more trade in value. However, most DS games won't get more than $8-$10 trade in value. Check online using the store locater tab to locate a Best Buy that will take trade ins. It's also recommended that you have the original case and instructions as that add's to the value.

HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD MY PICTURE ON MY PSP #3
HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD MY PICTURES?
Easiest way is to put them on thumb drives, externals, etc. and just plug it into one of the USB ports. You'll be able to transfer any that are properly formatted. Jpeg is the preferred format.

When will you have more ps3's in stock?
Sony traditionally ships around the 5th and 20th of every month and if they have any to release, they'd be in there. Best Buy can order all they want, but unless Sony is willing to release, there's nothing much us mortals can do.

Where can I find a best buy which sells referbished PS3?
I seen some on the web site but they are gone.
After speaking to the Geek Squad at my NorCal Best Buy the refurbished ones are gone within 24 hours of hitting the store, you have to be lucky and in the store when it hits because they are few and far between.
