Terrible reception, lots of dropped keypresses.

This keyboard has terrible reception. I tried the receiver behind my pc and it dropped key presses like crazy and I am only about 5 feet away with my pc up on top of a table. Moved the receiver to the front usb and it is a lot better but still at about 4 feet away it drops a lot of key presses. Especially if the pc is busy at all it won't respond. Useless.
What's great about it: Size, feel, looks
What's not so great: Reception
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fan and non-Fan's of Ghostbusters will enjoy it.

I am really enjoying this game. It has its faults but overall is very fun and worthy of the name Ghostbusters. I am on my third playthrough right now on the hardest difficulty. It does however lock up my 360 every once in awhile (3 times so far). Mainly does it when I am destroying the environment.
Also the ghosts all seem to have an AOE type of attack and doesn't need to hit you directly in order to knock you out. There have been many times where the whole team was too close and was wiped out by one attack. Be ready for a lot of reloading due to this.
What's great about it: Atmosphere, story, fun
What's not so great: Freezes, AOE attacks from Ghosts

I absolutely love this game. It is one of my favorites. I am now playing through it on my third time. This time on Nightmare Difficulty.
What's great about it: Good thriller without a ton of gore.
What's not so great: Not that hard of a game even on Nightmare.

If you like slapstick this movie is for you

I loved this movie. I rented it and laughed my head off the entire time. If you are into Three Stooges slapstick type of humor this movie is for you. It has a pretty predictable story line but I don't watch comedy's like this for story. I am definitely buying this ASAP.
What's great about it: Funny
What's not so great: Typical, predictable story line.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Buy the DVD instead
on September 10, 2009
Posted by: Stioneysilence
from Eugene, OR
Like others have commented the quality of the transfer was not that great. Probably could have gotten just the same quality from a upscaled DVD. Also like one of the other posters said you have to turn on subtitles otherwise you don't know what is going on through half the movie. The DVD automatically subtitles the foreign language parts while this one doesn't. Basically I wish I hadn't spent $10 on it.
What's great about it: It's on Blu-Ray and it is the Stargate movie!
What's not so great: Pretty much everything else
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

wi=fi signal booster for Motorla Surfboard motem and gigabit router

I have a desk top Apple computer, with TW railroad internet on one downstairs to which my daughter is connected on second floor in loft. She constantly looses signal. I have a tv directly below loft location ond which I would like to watch Netflix. the tv does not recognize my cable signal.
what, if any booster will work in this situation?
Does your tv have built in Internet access for things like Netflix? Is it wireless or wired? In a multi-floor situation like this I would recommend a powerline option. I would suggest one of the Powerline 500 802.11n and one set of the Powerline 500 nano's. You will have 4 connectors. One of them you plug into the wall next to your modem from TW. Using one of the RJ-45 cables provided plug the TW modem into the connector you just plugged in. Then take the connector that uses Wireless N and put that in your daughters room so she has a strong signal for her wifi devices (like iPad/iPhone/etc..) Then plug one of the other devices in the wall behind the tv and again using one of the RJ-45 cables provided plug it into the TV. You will have 1 extra connector that you can use somewhere else in the house (desktop pc in a faraway room, whatever).

Which Netgear router to buy?

I would like to purchase a Netgear router for my home. I am switching to a cable company that has a fiber optic network and I was told to purchase an n router that has a transfer rate between 300 and 600 mbps. My house is approximately 1800 sq. ft., and I keep my router in the basement. Which router would be the best option?
It's not cheap, but it will last you a long time. Currently the best wireless router out there imo, the Asus RT-N66R or the Asus RT-N66U (Same thing, just different labeling because of who sells it). It is Wireless N while the newest standard is AC but that won't become normal on devices for years to come.

Xbox 360 kinect: Will there other games for this system before christmas or can you use other xbox 360 games on the 360 kinect.
All games work on the xbox with a Kinect. Just not all games use the kinect sensor and use the older standard controller instead.

4GB versus 250GB w/ Kinect

If I get the 4G bundle and add a separate 250GB hard drive will I have any performance issues versus just buying the 250GB bundle? Any performance differences at all???
There should be no performance difference between any of the xbox's. I would just buy the 250gb model myself.

I already have an xbox 360 but I want to know can I just purchase the kinect and games instead of buying a whole new system?

Yes, you can buy the Kinect by itself and use it on a older Xbox. It plugs into one of the USB ports on the back.

I want to use a $5 coupon I earned to go buy the on-sale Madden 11 for Xbox 360($49.99 instead of $59.99) to save money. The reward site is down and I really want to get a deal on this game but now I need to know how long is the current price on the game is going to stay?
Unless it is on sale for more than a week, most items change Saturday night with a new ad on Sunday.
