XBOX steps up to the plate and hits a HR

Great system. Probably my favorite of the XBOX series so far. The mammoth Hard Drive and games from XBOX Gold make this an absolute winner. Shame I bought it right before the new slim is coming out, but still worth picking up.

Once the sounds of taxi cabs, buses, people on cell phones and advertisements permeated every sonic fiber of our senses. Now only deafening silence rules the airwaves. Yet it's what hides in the silence that could be the deadliest. Following the same formula as the original, Wasteland 2 plunges you into a hellish landscape with the same core gameplay, but modernizes it with stunning visuals and a thrilling storyline. Make the tough decisions, which come with both short- and long-term consequences that will affect the outcome of the story. Engage in tactical turn-based combat that puts your strategy skills to the test. With this Director's Cut, you'll receive the definitive Wasteland 2 experience with enhanced visuals, expanded voiceovers and more. It's time for you to make your mark on the Wasteland ~ or die trying.

Not overly engaging or very much fun. I like the idea, but bored by the execution. There is nothing overly original about this game and I'm glad I didn't spend too much on it.

Fun fight game with unusual cast
on June 25, 2016

This is an above average fighting engine. What makes it a little more interesting is the cast of characters. Not your typical rehash of the same playable group, so it's refreshing in that way.

![Band of Brothers/The Pacific [Special Edition] [13 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Academy Award winners Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg teamed up with two all-star casts to create each of the sprawling, epic-length World War II miniseries featured in this double-header. First on the bill is 2001's Band of Brothers. Adapted from the bestseller of the same name by Stephen Ambrose, it tells the story of the U.S. soldiers assigned to Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. This was a crack squad of some of the most gifted men in the U.S.A.F., who parachuted into France on D-Day morning, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and captured Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgarden. Stars include Damian Lewis, Ron Livingston and Matthew Settle. Next in the set is 2010's follow-up, The Pacific. It recounts the experiences of three U.S. enlistees -- Eugene Sledge (Joe Mazzello, Robert Leckie (James Badge Dale) and John Basilone (Jon Seda), as they make their way across the harrowing Pacific Theater of World War II - with stops in Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

Geography, mathematics, history and science ~ these were all key building blocks to your education growing up, and now you may or may not remember all of it. Lucky for you, there's an easy way to tell. Grab your Nintendo 3DS and get ready to see if your knowledge of elementary education is still on the tip of your tongue, or if you need to stay after class. Based on the popular TV show, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? lets you put your memory to the test with more than 3,000 questions covering more than 20 subjects. Do you think you have what it takes to say you are "smarter than a 5th grader"?

A lot like the show - good in moderation
on June 10, 2016
Posted by: KevinV
Verified Purchase:Yes
The show is not something I would want to watch more than once every couple of weeks and I kind of feel the same way about this game. It's fun, but I don't feel overly drawn to play it over other games on the 3DS. I prefer games that I don't think would lose anything as an app on my phone and this doesn't really strike me as something that I specifically bought a 3DS to play.

Insignia - Voice Smart Portable Bluetooth Speaker and Alarm Clock with Google Assistant - Gray/Black
Only at Best BuyAnswer all your questions and share your playlist with this Insignia portable wireless speaker. Featuring Google Assistant, this compact speaker lets you search the internet or set your schedule with just the sound of your voice. Bluetooth compatibility on this Insignia portable wireless speaker allows sharing and casting to multiple devices, including phones, tablets and even other speakers.
1. Is Insignia Voice Smart Portable Bluetooth Speaker a replacement for Google Home? 2. Does Insignia require a Google Home to work? 3. Does Insignia work with Google Home? 4. Does Insignia work with Alexa and Echo.
1. Yes. In fact, I have both versions of Insignia Voice Smart (Portable and the smaller (non-portable) versions) and prefer them over my google home (the smaller google home). They both have a clock, will show temperature (briefly on demand) and I think they both sound great. The non-portable is smaller and lighter (great for smaller spaces) and the portable is larger, has better sound (then the smaller and google home) and you can move it around the house (or take it outside and cast music from your phone).
2. No. It is basically the same as google home. You just need a wi-fi connection and a smart phone. Setup is mostly easy, but may take a few tries.
3. It uses the google home app on your smartphone. As stated earlier, it works just like a google home device.
4. It does not work with Alexa, Echo or Amazon Music. My lone disappointment thus far is that, as a Music Unlimited subscriber on Amazon, I can't listen to that on any google related device. Google home runs some of the same basic apps as Alexa (pandora, iHeartRadio, etc), but Amazon music. Maybe one day this will change, but for now, I just have both (or you can bluetooth your Amazon music from your phone).
