This limited edition collector's set includes three exciting Grand Theft Auto titles, including Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City and San Andreas. Beginning with Grand Theft Auto III, you have been betrayed and left for dead. Now you are taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help and street gangs want you dead. You will have to rob, steal and kill just to stay out of serious trouble. Grand Theft Auto III puts you at the heart of your very own gangster movie. Knowing every angle and corner of the city is your only hope. Know what you want, when you want it and how to get it. Liberty City is a complete physical universe with laws, rules, standards, ethics and morals. And they are yours to shatter.In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, you take to the dangerous streets and underground crime of the '80s. The location is Vice City and the vibe is glamour, power and corruption. Like Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City offers an in-depth storyline and a go-anywhere style of gameplay. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas features a new city, fresh cars and even more territory to explore. You take on the role of Carl Johnson, a man who managed to escape the rough life in Los Santos, San Andreas ~ a city torn apart by corruption, drugs and gang warfare. Five years ago, Carl escaped the burdens of life in the city for greener pastures. After learning of a family tragedy, however, Carl must return to a world he thought he had left behind forever.

great adult fun with gore, bad language, explosions..its like a movie but you are in control. the only thing that would make the GTA series better is destructable environments, that is one thing missing from the otherwise great series. definatly worth $30 to own all 3 great games
What's great about it: THE SERIES FOR $10 A GAME
What's not so great: NOTHING

SynopsisYou faced down a pit of snakes in pursuit of the Ark of the Covenant. You rode along on the insane mine car chase to recover the magical stones. You were there with him every step of the way, including that one terrifying step into the void of the canyon, as he sought the Holy Grail. Now Indiana Jones is preparing for his greatest adventure yet ~ one that involves everything you've known and loved about Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The only difference is that Indy's gone LEGO.LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures combines all the action and excitement of the Indiana Jones series with the quirky fun and creativity of LEGO. Join Indy as he pursues whip-cracking adventures across the globe, from the mountains of India to the jungles of South America. Relive some of your favorite moments from the films, including the heart-pounding boulder run that started it all. Immerse yourself in fully-realized LEGO environments as you swim through dangerous currents, climb sheer precipices and shimmy across rock ledges. Repel your enemies with whatever weapons you can find close at hand, including chairs, guns and bottles. And just like real LEGOs, you can mix and match characters' body parts for new dimensions of fun ~ just imagine the creative possibilities of characters such as Sallah Scott and Mola Round. With LEGO Indiana Jones, you're in for a thrill ride like you've never imagined ~ hold onto your hat!

the lego games in my opinion are better than the movie release games that tend to come out. they are all high quality, fun games that focus on...well fun. there is a story and lots of characters to play and choose from along with different abilities for the different types of character which keeps gameplay fun. also due to character abilities you can replay levels you have previously beaten with new characters to access areas previously not available. it adds to the re-playability of the game and also adds to the fun factor, the game is great for adults and kids. the simple button configuration is less advanced than most games which makes it easy to learn and easy to master. great job, now lego needs to get their hands on marvel comics next, that would be great fun.
What's great about it: unloackbles, fun gameplay
What's not so great: nada

i have played gta 3,4, and 5. in my opinion this is the best one due to enjoyable gameplay and customization options. the newest gta is ok, but besides the graphical and pyshic improvements the game is not nearly as fun to play as san andreas.
the map is big, there are pleny of things to do and some of the cars are fun to drive (i like the monster truck myself) and as always there are 100;s of cheats that change the time of day, weather, cars, and other elements of the game for when or if you get a little bored or just want to play it for a few minutes and do something different (i dont save after cheats due to possible save file corruption which has happened once before and most cheat sites will warn you of the same thing) the game over all is great..though i wish rockstar would make a different game similar to GTA but instead make it survival horror in a city full of zombies...would be very fun. i know that had nothing to do with san andreas so back to the point.
the game features plenty of customization options including the way you look (fat, muscular, skinny) clothes, car customization and it introduces dates which is easier to deal with in this game rather than gta 5.
overall the game is great, has some variety when going to a new island/part of the map, though the back country can be a little lacking when having to explore or travel.
the game is great, if you havent played it but like the other gta games, this is a must own.

this movie was funny (as long as you like crude humor) and was a good movie to watch. i myself do not watch to many comedy type movies, but this movie was pretty good. i wont go over story details becuase the main page goes over it pretty good. i wouldnt suggest letting young children watch the movie due to the fact that it does have foul language in it, and half of the foul language comes from a child. over all it has some very funny moments in it and was worth watching (i downloaded off of playstation 3's rental service, i do not own this movie but plan on purchasing it)
What's great about it: funny

The classic Lethal Weapon series follows the unique friendship between two cops with very different crime-fighting methods. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star.

the lethal weopon series is another that has always been a favorite of mine. from the first one that introduces us to rigs and murtaugh, to the addition of joe peschi who plays a comical role in the movies. the series has good action, a great story and cops who do not always play by the book but get the job done. the series isnt a hardcore action flick, there are some funny moments as well as backstory involving some of the characters past, though when the action picks up it is good. there are moments in the series that range from toilet bombs, the destruction of murtachs wifes car, blowing up a pyro-maniac, as well as other rememborable moments that are funny. all the lethal weopon movies are great fun and enjoyable. i myself grew up with them and they are worth adding to your collection.
What's great about it: action, funny, good actors
What's not so great: they havent made a 5th

i love all of the die hard movies, they are all great. all of the movies have a great story and great action sequences. bruce willis is also a top notch actor and does a great job of being the anti hero we all root for. great movie to own.
also man of fire is a great movie and dezel washington does a great performance, definatly a good bargain for both movies.

Directed by Nick Cassavetes, this adaptation of author Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel revolves around Noah Calhoun's (James Garner) regular visits to a female patron (Gena Rowlands) of an area nursing home. Rather than bore her with the inanities of everyday life, Calhoun reads from an old, faded notebook containing the sweeping account of a young couple (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) whose love affair was tragically put to a halt after their separation in the midst of World War II. Seven years later, the couple was reunited, and, despite having taken radically different paths, they found themselves unable to resist the call of a second chance. The Notebook also features Joan Allen, Sam Shepard, and Kevin Connolly.

i am a guy who typically like action flicks, movies on my top list are gladiator, braveheart, 300, 28 days later ect. this movie however is also one of my top movies and remains to be the only movie i have held on to and not gotten rid of at some point in time.
the story is basically about 2 people who fell in love and something splits them up, a few years later they meet again and then have to figure out what to do. without ruining the story it is a great movie with a very good ending. loved it, recommend it. own it.

My shoulder button on my ds lite stopped working. Can you fix them?
My L and R buttons have stop working. Can bestbuy fix my ds lite and how much will it cost?
here is a link that tells how to fix them and what you will need, also if you call some game stores they may be able to repair them or maybe even bestbuy geeksquad can repair them for you, you would need to call the stores for pricing information though, hope this helps.

Do best buy buy video games?
Do best buy buy video games?
bestbuy is currently testing buying video games in a few stores in texas, but it has not been decided on if it will go into every best buy store or not. so far it is still in the testing phase.

In this Sunday's paper , I looked in the Best Buy magazine and it said that you can trade in your ds lite for a dsi xl. Do I still have to pay money?
How much if I do? It said to go to www.bestbuy.com/gametradein but it never said anything about trading it in for a dsi xl.
best buy accepts trades on older electronics. the prices they give you are not that great. you will need to enter the information on the website to get a price, i assure you it wont be that much.

ps3 price cut
is there going to be any kind of bundle or price cut coming this year that is less than $400?
as much as romors point to a price cut i highly doubt it will happen, especially since they have had rumors of a price cut for as long as i can remember. also since the whole activision threatening to pull out and the ceo of sony basically stating "how logical is it to lose money on every system sold" a price cut isnt happening any time soon.
if it makes the purchase any easier, when you consider an xbox 360 with a harddrive for 300, a wireless adapter for 99, and a charge kit for the controller for 20 and 60 for an xbox live membership...you are already looking at more than a ps3, and you get blue ray as well, which i dont really care about blue ray. also if you are willing to pay $40 as a one time fee, there is a download where you can do netflix on ps3 along with a few other movie sites. it is called play on and i personally use it and it was worth it.
sorry to say that a price cut isnt coming anytime soon, though i agree it would be nice, then i would buy a second ps3, but i highly doubt it will happen anytime soon.

Call of Duty 3 ?
I am looking for a wwii era war/first person shooter game this looks to be the best(Besides battlefield 1943) is it ? (I am really clueless)
call of duty world at war is a WW era game, it features countries like the US/japan (which you play the us), and russian/germain (which you play russia) campains. the online multiplayer is great. i havent played 1943 yet, so i wouldnt know what it is like though i know it is multiplayer only.
hope this answers your questions, and if you decide to purchase this game, look forward to seeing you on the field.

Play Station Store ?
I am looking in to getting a PS3, what is play station store and how does it work? (how do i put in money?)
the playstation store is where you can purchase themes, games, add-on content, rent/purchase movies and watch videos/tv shows. you have to either purchase a playstation network card in various amounts, or use a credit/debit card to add funds. you get the option to add funds when you add something to your cart and confirm the check out, then it will ask you to add funds.

can i buy trade in games from best buy that have been traded in buy customers ?
at this time i dont think best buy has started to sell used games yet. i know they have kiosk's in dallas and austin that purchase used games. it is something recent to my knowledge, and i work in bestbuys call center, so far there is no word on when they will sell the games to customers..or exactly what they are doing with the games so far for that matter. granted i am no one big in the company but asking around no one has heard anything as of yet.

corrupted data
my ps3 says the data is corrupted what can i do to fix it? i start games then they freeze help!!!
it sounds like you have either downloaded a bad file, turned the game off when it was saving, or got a virus from browsing the internet. my suggestion would be to wipe the hard drive and start over. Simply remove the hard drive from your PS3, and turn on the console. It should display a screen saying the hard drive will need to be reformatted. Then, plug the hard drive back into your PS3, and allow it to reformat. Your save game data will be erased but the system should work again, also here is a link to the same solution but worded differently. http://www.xomba.com/ps3_help_froze_up_ps3_hard_drive_reformat

In-camera cropping and rechargeable batteries?
I want to buy a digital camera $200 or less. it needs to have in-camera cropping and more than 7 megapixels. aslo, i would prefer for it to be 4x or more optical zoom and can record sound. i know its kind of specific, sorry about that
you are lucky. the perfect camera that fits that description is 1) commonly found in all best buy stores, 2) the highest rated camera on our website and highly rated on sites like cnet, and other sites. i did about 5 months of reasearch to find the perfect camera for my fiance, but i cant afford the price of a tv or car for a camera. the item i came up with is a canon PowerShot 10.0-Megapixel Digital ELPH Camera - Silver . the sku number for the item is 8800577. if you place those numbers in the search for box in bestbuys website it will take you straight to the item.
i personally bought this camera after researching and also wrote a review on it as well, it should be on the site under the item with in 72 hours. it is perfect for the price (200). you wont regret it and it has all the features you are looking for.
