Awesome update to the previous 3DS!

Truly addressed all the drawback of the previous 3DS. Odd placement for a memory card, so I would recommend getting a high capacity one to avoid having to take the back off.

With so few choices left, your next move could put you on the path to victory, or lead you down the road to failure. Will you finally become a master of Mahjong or let the tiles triumph once again?Solitaire Overload Plus offers hours of challenging puzzle play as you test your skills in classic games of Solitaire, Mahjong and more. Explore variations on classic Solitaire as you play games of Klondike, FreeCell and Spider. With 202 different Solitaire games and 101 Mahjong mysteries, you'll never run out of fun.

Test yourself to try a new perspective with eye-bending Tangram and picture puzzles. Images of people, animals and objects are all mixed up, leaving you with a depiction dilemma. Drag, rotate or flip pieces to move them into the correct position and reconstruct the picture. If you get stuck, you can always press the Help button for an automatic shift to help you move forward. Each game can be customized by choosing between various backgrounds and soundtracks to set the mood you want. Choose between English, French or Spanish for on-screen text, options and instructions.

Easy to use and it is what it is (Solitare is pretty self-eplanatory). Enjoyable and I didn't have to break the bank for it.

Not my cup of tea
on February 27, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
Never been one for foreign action flicks (I think "Hard Boiled" is the only one I truly enjoyed). I can see why people like this, so I won't overly penalize it because I don't, but it's just not what I thought it was. I blame myself for not doing more research prior to buying and one of the few times I was let down by a highly rated film.

Enjoyable action flick

Two movies came out at the same time that were basically about the same topic both were good, neither was excellent. I enjoyed both more than I hoped, but I think they could have taken the best parts of both and made one excellent movie. Still, enjoyed watching it enough to recommend.

Check the brain in at the door and just enjoy this silly movie. If you over analyze this one, you don't deserve to "get it".

Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) challenges the system and defies conventional wisdom when his is forced to rebuild his small-market team on a limited budget. Despite opposition from the old guard, the media, fans and their own field manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Beane - with the help of a young, number-crunching, Yale-educated economist (Jonah Hill) - develops a roster of misfitsand along the way, forever changes the way the game is played.

Highly recommended baseball movie

Posted by: KevinV
Verified Purchase:Yes
Honestly, I didn't expect that the subject matter would make for a great book and even more so, a movie. Wrong on both accounts. I recommend reading the book first and then seeing the movie. The film does the movie justice by being well cast and not deviating to far from the book. Will be a spring training staple for years to come.

Great storyline and superb acting

Initially I thought WIllis and Gordon-Levitt was an odd pairing, but Gordon-Levitt is turning out to be a truly great actor. I liked the storyline on this one. Recommended.

Ghostbusters: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson star as a quartet of Manhattan-based "paranormal investigators". When their government grants run out, the former three go into business as The Ghostbusters, later hiring Hudson on. Armed with electronic paraphernalia, the team is spectacularly successful, ridding The Big Apple of dozens of ghoulies, ghosties and long-legged beasties. Tight-lipped bureaucrat William Atherton regards the Ghostbusters as a bunch of charlatans, but is forced to eat his words when New York is besieged by an army of unfriendly spirits, conjured up by a long-dead Babylonian demon and "channelled" through beautiful cellist Sigourney Weaver and nerdish Rick Moranis. The climax is a glorious sendup of every Godzilla movie ever made-and we daresay it cost more than a year's worth of Japanese monster flicks combined. Who'd ever dream that the chubby, cheery Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man would turn out to be the most malevolent threat ever faced by New York City? When the script for Ghostbusters was forged by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, John Belushi was slated to play the Bill Murray role; Belushi's death in 1982 not only necessitated the hiring of Murray, but also an extensive rewrite. The most expensive comedy made up to 1984, Ghostbusters made money hand over fist, spawning not only a 1989 sequel but also two animated TV series (one of them partially based on an earlier live-action TV weekly, titled The Ghost Busters. Ghostbusters II: Ivan Reitman's sequel to the phenomenally successful Ghostbusters is looser and more self-assured than the original. The film opens with a title reading "Five Years Later" and finds the ghostbusters living in hard times. A restraining order has forbidden the boys to partake in paranormal warfare, and as a result they have had to seek other lines of work. Ray (Dan Aykroyd) and Winston (Ernie Hudson) spend their time performing at children's' birthday parties, and Egon (Harold Ramis) is busy conducting experiments investigating the effect of human emotions on the environment, leaving ghostbusting behind. Venkman (Bill Murray) and Dana (Sigourney Weaver) have split up. Venkman now hosts a local cable show called "The World of the Psychic." Dana, now divorced and the mother of a little baby named Oscar, works as an art restorer in a museum -- and this is where the plot kicks in. While Dana is restoring a portrait of a 16th-century tyrant by the name of Vigo the Carpathian, the portrait becomes hexed. The evil Vigo wants to return to life by taking over the body of Dana's little child. Vigo has enlisted Dana's boss, Janosz Poha (Peter MacNicol), to compel Dana to cooperate. Soon dirty sludge and slime flow through the streets of Manhattan, and the ghostbusters have to reunite to save the city from a funky paranormal evil.

Looks better than it did in the theater
on February 27, 2015
Posted by: KevinV
Verified Purchase:Yes
The original one looks better than when I saw it in the theater. I can even stomach #2 more than I used to. I don't want to penalize this release for it's inclusion, but it is truly an inferior film compared to the 1st one. Both look and sound great and are a real upgrade over earlier incarnations (VHS, DVD) of the films. Must buy for any kid who grew up in the 80s.

What I love about movies made for kids these days is that there is enough adult humor to make it worth sitting through. This is one of the better ones.

It's ok for what it is

Don't expect to be blown away. It's a horror movie and although I initially rented it and watched it, I thought it was worth picking up when it was on sale.

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).
