Verified Purchase:Yes
I like this camera, but it's not perfect and Sony needs to fix a few issues.
The picture quality is decent. It's 720p, which isn't as good as Xbox One's Kinect (1080p), but it's also $40 cheaper than the Kinect and not required with purchase of the console.
Better than the picture quality is the voice commands. You can say "Playstation" and it'll allow you to do certain things, like starting a game or turning off your PS4. It has 4 microphones, so this area really stands out.
The camera also tracks the light on your Dual Shock 4 controller. I haven't seen many games actually utilize this yet, but that's cool to have.
Moving to the issues, there are more problems than I expected. First is that you can't turn off the microphone for the camera. So if you're in an online game, everybody will hear everything from your living room. The only way to fix this? Unplug the device. I bet Sony will eventually add some options to deactivate the microphone in online games, but for now, expect everybody to hear you.
Voice commands also work on and off for me. When I have a game running, voice commands don't work, even when I'm on the dashboard.
My last big issue is that there isn't a lot of support for the camera yet. It looks great, but there needs to be more ways to use it.
Overall, I do suggest buying this. It evens the gap a little bit between PS4 and Xbox One. That said, be prepared that the camera just isn't ready for public yet. To be honest, the PS4 in general isn't totally ready for public (needs a lot of updates).
What's great about it: Voice commands, motion capturing
What's not so great: Can't turn off microphone
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been a PS Plus user since it came out last year. I really enjoy it and feel like it's a great value, but not everybody thinks the same. Essentially, if you spend a lot of money buying games on PSN (or if you want to play them at a cheaper price), PS Plus is for you. It doesn't affect Online Multiplayer or anything, so don't expect it to.
The only downside to buying it online through Best Buy is that you have to wait a few hours to get it (in my case, about 3 hours). This isn't too big of a deal, but it should be noted before slapping down the money. The price Best Buy gives you is right on the mark and you don't have to drive to get it, so online does save money. Go for it :)
What's great about it: Tons of free games, plenty of value
What's not so great: You have to wait three hours until Best Buy sends it to you

This is much better than putting you credit card on PSN. For whatever reason, PSN doesn't accept any of my credit cards around 50% of the time. And then when they do, it gets hacked :P
If you buy this, you'll get an order email immediately, and then another email with the code soon after (around 10 minutes or so). I've never had any problems with this so far, and you don't have to wait nearly as long as shipping would take.
Give it a try, you'll love it.
What's great about it: You get the code very soon after purchase
What's not so great: You have to wait a few minutes to get it... :O

Gears of War 3 is a truly Epic Game. If you like the previous Gears titles, you'll enjoy this one without a doubt. The campaign is excellent and the storyline keeps you playing. The Multiplayer is actually good this time. I didn't like Gears 2 or 1 MP, so that's a move in the right direction. New game modes online, revamped Horde mode, and newly added Beast mode. I have two Reviews for this game on Youtube if you'd like to get more in depth info about Gears of War 3. One for Campaign and one for Multiplayer.
Feel free to check them out if you'd like.

Multiplayer Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO1fNCdyWUo
My Reviews are a few minutes longer than 5 minutes, so I can't put it where BestBuy wants me to :P
What's great about it: Great Multiplayer this time, Fun
What's not so great: Minor glitches, Expensive DLC

I love this movie. It has great characters, great plot, and overall quality is awesome. If you have a bluray player or PS3 itll work on your tv. If you dont, then it wont. That should pretty much be the deciding factor on this purchase. If you like quality movies, youll love this.
What's great about it: Awesome plot
What's not so great: Should be cheaper

Xbox Live is cool. Theres a lot to do on it. You can get 1 month, 3 month, or 12 month subscriptions. Considering how much you pay per month, 12 month is cheapest at around $5 per month. And 1 month is the most expensive at $8 per month. 1 month is $8, 3 months is $20, and 12 months is $50. You pick which one you want.
What's great about it: Xbox Live is amazing
What's not so great: Price
