this movie is great. out of all the movies i have seen lately this is the only movie i can honestly say its worth buying. anymore it is easier to stream movies online or rent them from teh playstation store than to purchase them becuase very few movies are worth buying.
this movie was the one acception. in my opinion it is very funny, clint eastwood plays a rude, crude old man who has some very interesting things to say. the story itself revolves around his neighbors and their interactions. it comes to a finally after clint eastwood takes the law into his own hands against a group of thugs who hurt his neighbors.
it isnt a typical eastwood film, so dont think DIRTY HARRY. it is a little slow paced but the story and acting are great.

Apply your wildest creativity to turn the garden into a haven that will attract colorful pinatas, then do your best to cultivate a happy pinata society. Plant and maintain vegetation, build pinata homes and decorate the garden to draw any of dozens of pinata species, and transfer items from your garden to a friend's garden to attract even more. Attend to your pinatas' needs and soon you'll be overseeing a lush and welcoming garden filled with delightful and exotic creatures unlike any you've seen before.

you have to attract pinatas to your garden, you cant play as the pinatas, so basically you are a gardener of sorts...very odd game and i didnt care for it at all. it would be fun for a child but noone else i woudlnt think, though everyone has different tastes. i would recommend this over the sims animals however, that was abysmally disapointing. stay away from that game.
What's great about it: pinatas
What's not so great: boring

i do not know why they made this game so short, but for what is in the game it is really fun and entertaining. the graphics are pretty good for DS, i would still choose lego starwars over this though. there was more to do and it was longer.
What's great about it: great gameplay
What's not so great: it is way to short, even for a ds game..

the game is very simple to play which makes it great for younger children. it is however to easy for adults, though the classic characters are in there and it can be fun to pick up and play just as a time killer. if you have children this is a great purchase.

this is a good game if you like the crossword puzzle books you can buy, very good if you work an office job that gets boring and need to pass time. it is quick to pick up and play and simple to learn. great, and electronic version of the puzzle books we have all had at one point and time.

You 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.

if you liked lego starwars you will like this game as well, it is a great fun game that can be quite a time killer. it is a great game and keeps you playing till the end, also the stages are fun and the graphics are great, reminds me of my imagination as a child playing with my legos. very nice and even though it is legos adults can have fun with it is well.
just like starwars, this is one of the best ds games so far.

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?
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.
