A great way to continue the series, you just have to remember that the order goes 1,2,4,5,6,3,&7, other than that you can watch this series over and over. it's going on 14 years and I still don't get tired of watching any of the movies, or having friends over and having a F&F weekend marathon.
I have a great concept for the F&F7 packaging, so if anyone knows someone that can connect me with whoever does the packaging, please do so as the idea i have includes some really unique ideas and an obvious tribute to our dearly departed friend Paul.

What's great about it: The crew is back, and its a "family" feeling
What's not so great: more behind the action would be nice
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got this because it was dirt cheap on sale at Best Buy and i always wanted to try it. Seems good so far but no where near the quality of some newer FPS. For the money, the "bang for the buck" entertainment value get's a 5 out of 5. Now if it where $50-$60 bucks, it would tank, but for $7.99 to $19.99, its great fun and a good edition to your collection.

Forza Horizon has had a wide variety of game play and it has been for the most part usually been very entertaining however this constant fad has forced Turn 10 to push out games under the Forza franchise that aren't always true to the spirit of the original and the career mode, and being out in the country (
Forza Horizon has a fair single player/campaign mode but i am not a fan of Horizon over Forza 4. Forza Horizon is a fun, easy to play game with a fantastic soundtrack, it’s one of those games where you can just enjoy it regardless of your expertise.

ND4SPD has had a wide variety of games and they have usually been very entertaining however this constant fad has forced EA to push out games under the ND4SPD franchise that aren't always true to the spirit of the original and the career mode is laughable, and being out in the country (thus stuck with EVDO or DSL and this is causing a loss of sales as I am NOT buying games that require a constant internet connection, I have purchased several games for the PC, and Xbox 360 over the holiday sales and I just can't see paying $50-$60+ dollars for a game with 2,3,4 or more disks and then having to spend 3 to 7 days installing and updating the game from "Steam","Origin", "Guild Wars 2, IE Arena Net" and I am going to have to put my money where my mouth is and stop purchasing games that require a always on internet connection, these updates/installs tend to be 5GB, 11GB, 28GB, or more which is just plain dumb as the disks that you buy at the store have all the data on them, so why do you need to download them? I know people that have bandwidth usage limits, and then you spend 4-6 weeks to install and play a game that you have been waiting a long time to buy and play, yet "pirates" can download the game, install a .exe crack and be up and running in very little time and this just seems to promote piracy which i despise as i believe that if you like a game you should pay for it so that another can be made, This is completely unfair and disorganized. Please push game manufactures to make at least the "single player'' or "Campaign mode". For example in addition to this game I purchased CoD BlackOps2, and GHOSTS, as well as Battlefield 4, Mass Effect 3, Guild Wars 2, and several others, and i have played 1 mission in BF4, and about 3 hours in Guild Wars2 as it takes so long to install, download, update, and jump through a bunch of hoops just to play a game. I have friends that have Comcast 20Mbps "gamer packages" and even they complain that it takes a long time just to play a game 9even on a game counsel such as Xbox360 or PS5 and this really must change and as a paying consumer I have had enough and I will just go back to playing of games even if it means running VBox, or VMWare and just play some "old school" games that just work out of the box, IE: open box, insert disk, select install, enter the CD-Key or Serial Number and i can be play!!! I would hate to do it as i have 12 (1 - i7-950 on a X58 chip-set with 48GB ram and a 1TB Hybrid SSD and a HD4870x2), (1 - 2600k on a Z68 chip-set triple channel mobo with 32GB RAM, dual 1.5TB, and a HD5870 Eyefinity 6), and my newest one is a Socket 2011 i7 3930k Hex-Core on a Z79 chipset with 64GB of Quad Channel RAM, dual 1TB Hybrid SSDs, six 3TB HDD, and dual HD7970's and a Corsair 1200 Watt PSU. My laptops at equally impressive with 1 - ASUS G75 ROG w 32GB RAM, 500GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 2GB nVidia 660GTX. and more, and the best speed i can get from any ISP is 1.5Mbit/down and it just takes to long to even open game, much less install from STEAM or ORIGIN, etc and then play so PLEASE BEST BUY, I have been a loyal customer for over 23 years and all i ask is that you put some pressure and provide feedback to these companies that think it is no big deal to download 25-30GB just to play a game, i could understand if you purchased a digital Copy but i buy physical copies at your store and i expect to be able to drop the disk in the PC or Xbox.
I wish that ND4SPD had a better single player or campaign mode as i am not a fan of the "play on Xbox live" against people i don't know, but worst of all is the damage, compared to Forza it just isn't a very realistic game in comparison, but PLEASE for the love of god help us (those of us that BUY GAMES, but are limited by are internet speed to do something to be able to play the games that we spend our hard earned money on, or else the companies that make these games, and companies like yours that sell them will lose our business!

If you haven't seen any of the F&F movies then I suggest you pick them up. Best Buy has them for around $10 each on Blu-Ray and even thought #3 is out of chronological order (so make sure you pay attention), they do a great job with the story (filling in the blanks) in 4, 5, & 6. Each one has gotten better and better and with F&F4 they got all the original actors (it really is like a family) and this helps you relate & care about the characters. On the other hand if you already seen all the other films then #6 will be a real roller coaster, the only two things that bummed me out are the lack of more bonus features, and that it's not in 3D, but either way it's a great addition to the series and you definitely won't be a disappointment with all the actor's, action, special effects, and the way that the story comes together you won't be disappointed, not to mention #6 has one of the best choreographed female fight scenes in cinema history and a surprise ending that will having you on the edge of your seat!

Aside from the actor that plays Murdock, everyone is dead on, Hannible, Face, Mr.T, all great fits for this movie. Lots of action, good soundtrack. This is a very fun and easy movie to watch.
What's great about it: A power packed, extended version of the TV show
What's not so great: Could have picked a better charecter to play Murdock
I am constantly trying to use the Blu Ray disc in my ps3. But nothing ever happens. And i know my ps3 works i checked other blu ray discs.

Times are changing,& so is technology, BDP vs PS3
January 4, 2014
My friend you are stuck in a common HD problem zone. You can't expect a old last gen counsel to play new content, its that simple, i hate to say it but i had a $359 Sony BDP-S300 and I had to give it up 2 years ago and got a $129 LG 3D Blu-Ray player. Not only is the LG picture, audio, speed, and ability to connect a 3TB Ext Hard Drive a plus but unlike the old GPU, CPU and memory limitations of the PS3 a true Blu Ray Player is slot load and therefore doesn't scratch your disks and your most common problem (fingerprints) is significantly reduced as no matter how careful you are with the disks using a PS3 or PS4 for that matter, they will still get fingerprints, smudges, and other debris that will cause many of the problems you are having. The other problem could be that the DSP chip, or the DRM chip may not be upgradeable any further causing the "nothing ever happens" issue. i had the same problem with my Sony BR-P, i remember it specifically "National Treasure 2" with Nicholas Cage would not allow me to play ANY of the special features, and after hours on the phone with Best Buy Support, and Sony support, the bottom line was, "Sorry it was a new technology when you got it and things have changed, and our best recommendation is to get a new BR-P and since they had dropped by about 3 times the price I paid for the Sony, not to mention having the ability to play 3D BR-D, but i also noticed a significant improvement in quality, speed of fast forwarding/rewinding, and the addition of a USB port (which i know the Sony has as well), but it is a great unit, and you can pick them up now for about $69 to $99 depending on what features you want, finally being a die hard Sony fan and this being the 2nd time getting stuck with a inability to upgrade firmware to make it work, i would have to recommend the LG player, its affordable, packed with features, and plays 3D to boot so consider that with a grain of salt next time you are having problems with a moving playing, after all, game counsels are for games, and blu-ray players are for movies and shows, and for less than the price of 1 or 2 3D movies and a pizza you can have a good, solid, reliable player, its time to pony up the cash and run up to Best Buy, hate to be harsh, but it will save you a lot of trouble, and give you much more enjoyment.
This movie proves that the Fast & Furious series is just getting better and better. I thought 4 slumped a little, but 5 totally redeemed the series. I also thought it'd be hard, if not impossible, to beat 5, but 6 did it. The movie is action packed and has the usual laughs thrown in. This movie is a must-have for all F&F fans for sure! It also does an excellent job of tying all the movies together to lead into F&F 7, even though it's heartbreaking that Paul Walker wasn't able to finish it.
With all of that said... when I bought this movie, I couldn't get it to work. I tried it in my PS3 numerous times and nothing. I live over an hour from the nearest Best Buy and had already read a review stating they were having the same problem, and had even exchanged theirs and still had the same thing. Someone posted a fix for it so I tried it, and it does work! If you are watching this movie on a PS3 (I don't own a regular blu ray player, but I'd say the same thing would probably apply), go into your blu ray internet access settings. You'll notice blu ray movies are set to allow internet access by default. Set it to ask you for access whenever you put a movie in, instead of it automatically being able to connect. Whenever you do so, and it asks to allow it, click no. The movie will start right up.

Read my other comments on this issue - BD-P vs PS3
January 4, 2014
I hate to be the one to tell you the truth, but if you read my extended comments with examples about this and a few other issues you will be glad you did and the fix is a fairly inexpensive one (considering that Blu-Ray movies or 3D) cost $25-$45 (new releases). The technology in the PS3 and even some issues with the PS4 are to blame, and seeing as how Sony (and i am a die hard Sony fan) deliberately limits (or doesn't have the fore-site to put in the right components to let you upgrade the firmware and other options, you need to bite the bullet and get a new straight up Blu-Ray Player, after all a PS3/PS4 is for gaming, otherwise why would we have Blu-Ray Players??? I have been burned by sony on BR-P twice, and disappointed with the PS3 in general, and returned the PS4, I'll save the little extra cash and get the Xbox One. You can get a really nice LG 3D Blu-Ray Player for less than $129 and it does everything, i have even hooked up a 3TB ext USB HDD to it and am able to watch my own shows, movies, listen to my music and everything else from it, so skip that new release, and the pizza you were going to get and buy yourself a new player and you will be happy you did. Best Regards.

Two days in a row... two separate disks... neither of them will work. I also purchased the 1 and 2 since this looks like a nice set to update to bluray with. 1 and 2 work great on my PS3. But not 6.
Not sure what to do... go to a different bestbuy for the third exchange? i want this movie :(

Simple rule - BD-P for movies, PS3/PS4 for games
January 4, 2014
i hate to break it to you, but i love Sony, but i have been burned twice with Sony BD-P (see some of my other comments for more details) but the more fundamental issue here is that PS3 and PS4 are for games, Blu Ray Players are for movies, if there wouldn't be a difference then they wouldn't sell BR-P. My advice and do what myself and may of my friends did, get a LG 3D BD-P (they are fairly inexpensive, under $129) they have better DSP chips, better audio conversion, a USB port that supports at least a 3TB ext USB drive, which is handy when wanting to watch something that you have on your computer without streaming it over the network, plus the ability to take it to a friends house. Skip dinner and a new movie and buy a real BR-P and you will be happy you did.
If you haven't seen any of the F&F movies then I suggest you pick them up. Best Buy has them for around $10 each on Blu-Ray and even thought #3 is out of chronological order (so make sure you pay attention), they do a great job with the story (filling in the blanks) in 4, 5, & 6.

Bite the bullet and get a new BD-P (BDP vs PS3/PS)
January 4, 2014
I have read a lot of reviews about people having trouble playing F&F6 on their PS3's, well for the love of Pete you are using a GAME Counsel to play a movie, that is not its primary purpose, my recommendation is to get one of the fairly inexpensive LG 3D Blu-Ray Players, they are fast, up-convert, have great audio, and in combination with a 3D HDTV they can enhance your old blu ray movies with the 2D+3D feature, skip dinner, or a game and use that money to get a new player, which can be had for $79 to $119 or so for a LG 3D BR-P with a USB connection (Well worth it)!!!
