Good game, bad shipping

Verified Purchase:Yes
The game itself is good and I got this version at the price of the normal version. Nice variation on the Persona series, especially if you like rhythm games.
On the negative side, BestBuy shipped the box in a bubble envelope, so the box inside was completely crushed, ruining it for collecting purposes. Wish I could have purchased it in-store, but it wasn't in stock at any stores near me.

Some nice features, but still looking for more
on March 11, 2016
Posted by: Darkon
from San Diego
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
- Allows you to program 4 lighting schemes and switch between them easily.
- Does not require batteries
- Controller can be removed from wall-mount dock
Cons:
- Pushing the buttons is a bit "clunky" since you need to push hard enough to power the device.
- No dedicated on/off button. You must use one of the four buttons to turn the lights off, leaving you with 3 buttons for lighting schemes
- No dimmer functionality. It would be nice to have lighter/darker buttons like they have on the other remote.

It's a $20 PSN Card...what else would you expect!
on February 19, 2016
Posted by: Darkon
from San Diego
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a pretty simple review....if you need a PSN card to add funds to your PSN wallet, this will do the job. It will add $20 to your PSN account, though sometimes you can buy the card for less if there is a 10% off sale or something like that. Only really useful if you have a Playstation device (PS3, PS4, PSP, Vita, PS TV, etc.) which can access the PSN store.

Great mood lighting
on February 12, 2016
Posted by: Darkon
from San Diego
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this as an add-on to my existing hue system because it was less expensive than buying the two Bloom lights by themselves (it was a Deal of the Day sale). These lights are fairly small, but they do a good job of providing mood lighting on a wall or other object. I tried using them in my bedroom with the idea that I could turn them on at night when my wife was asleep so I could avoid tripping on something, but even with the lowest brightness setting, it was brighter than I wanted so I put them in the living room instead. Overall color range is pretty good...better than the BR30 Hue bulbs I have in the living room, so the colors don't quite match exactly for some colors when all lights are set to the same color.

Wait for a sale

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked this up during the Black Friday sale and was disappointed to find that the some of the bulbs had a loud buzzing sound when turned on. I have a new house and replaced LED BR30 bulbs that never buzzed at all, so I was very frustrated to have these very expensive bulbs buzzing like a beehive. I ended up contacting Philips and they replaced 2 of the bulbs, but even one of those had a noticeable buzz in some situations. Still, I do like being able to control the colors and lighting in my living room for different situations, especially when combined wit the Bloom lights. The hue system isn't cheap, but it is pretty cool.

Good, but overpriced

Posted by: Darkon

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like my Hue lighting system, but buying the individual lights is really painful because they are so expensive. I bought the BR30 starter pack, but since it only comes with 3 lights, you pretty much have to buy at least one more of the BR30 bulbs to get a total of 4. Most of the colors are pretty good except for green, which is very weak/faded looking green.

While there are some limitations and areas for improvement, if you have Vita games, this is a great way to play them on your big screen TV. Or if you have Playstation+, this is a great way to be able to play the free Vita games you get each month for a very low price.

MGM brings Mel Brooks' science fiction farce Spaceballs to DVD with both widescreen and standard versions on the same disc, and 5.1 Surround Sound, though the movie's lackluster production values make it difficult to discern the quality of the transfer. Still, for fans of actor/writer/director Brooks, the full-length commentary (originally recorded for the laserdisc release) includes his trademark quips and a genuine appreciation of the actors and other collaborators on the film. He has an amazing memory for the details of their careers before and after working with him. It's also refreshing for a director to mock his own work, as well as laugh at the comic bits he has undoubtedly seen dozens of times. In a brief behind-the-scenes featurette, cast members John Candy, Rick Moranis, and others talk about the pleasure of working with Brooks and share stories of on-set goofiness. Basically, for fans of Brooks' unique comic sensibilities, the DVD makes a worthwhile evening's entertainment.

If you love Star Wars, then you'll either love or hate Spaceballs. It's a hilarious parody of Star Wars and another classic Mel Brooks movie. You should definitely watch it at least once.

Safeguard your home or business with this 4-pack of motion-activated NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home VMS3430-100NAS security cameras, which enables you to capture 720p video footage both during the day and at night.
 

Is there an option to plug cameras into an outlet instead of batteries?

Nope. Batteries only. But Arlo recently announced a new AC-powered camera (Arlo Q) that is HD and has audio, which I believe can be used in conjunction with your Arlo wire-free cameras (so all cameras are viewable through the same app.

Control your home lighting automatically with the smart timer on this Philips Hue White starter kit. The user-friendly system lets you turn lights on and off or dim them with an intuitive app for your smartphone or tablet. This Philips Hue White starter kit has space for up to 50 lights and 10 accessories to connect your entire home.
 

Can this system connect to multiple mobile devices?

I previously purchased another system, but it wouldn't work with both mine and my wife's phone, only one or the other. So only one of us could control the lights. We need a system that both of us can access.
I don't see why not. I'm using the iPhone app on multiple devices (iPhone, iPad and my Apple Watch), so I don't see why it wouldn't work with my wife's phone as long as we used the same My Hue account.

Bridge

Is the bridge that comes with this starter kit the first or second generation?
2nd Generation. You can tell by the picture of the hub...1st Gen hub is round, 2nd gen hub is square.

Can You use the A19 White and color bulbs with this kit?

I want to purchase this kit but switch the bulbs to the color ones is that possible? Thank you
Then you should just buy the A19 Hue color kit, which comes with 3 bulbs plus the newer 2nd Gen Hub. That will be less expensive than buying this kit plus 3 color A19 bulbs (unless you only need 1 or 2 color bulbs). The color bulbs by themselves are pretty expensive.

Soften your environment with this Philips Hue wireless dimming kit.

Use the versatile dimmer switch of this Philips Hue wireless dimming kit as a handheld remote or install it permanently on the wall.
 

Can I use the hue bulbs in an outdoor location such as a porch light?

Maybe if they are in a sealed enclosure that's protected from the elements, but they certainly aren't weatherproof by themselves.

Lightstrip without hub

Can you use the switch to control the Philips light strip without using or buying the hub?
I'm pretty sure you can't because you need the Hub to do anything with the Hue app, including configuring which lights this dimming switch will control. That said, you can probably pick up the first gen Hub for cheap...I already have 3 of them I'm not using from when I bought different lighting kits that came with a hub because the kits were less expensive than buying the lights individually. I also upgraded to the 2nd gen hub for HomeKit support (a waste of money so far because I haven't gotten around to setting up the HomeKit settings).

do these lamps need a wired ethernet connection to work?

The lights themselves just need power, but you do need a wired network connection in your house for the Hue hub to plug into, which is required to control the lights. I believe the lights communicate to the Hue hub via the Zigbee protocol. This starter kit comes with the older version of the Hue hub, which is fine for most people unless you want to use it with Apple's HomeKit functionality.

Do the cameras run all the time or can you set up time parameters and how easy is it to change them

During the week I would like to have the camera show during the day as per sometime and then at night all the time can I make this happen without too much difficulty
You can setup schedules for the motion detection so that it will be enabled only during certain hours for selected cameras. When motion is detected by the camera, it records several seconds of video, uploads it to their server and then sends you notifications so you know there's something to look at.

I haven't played with the scheduling features too much yet, so I'm not sure if you can setup multiple time windows for turning on motion detection during the same day. While you could setup multiple schedules, only one schedule is enabled at a time and you must manually choose which schedule you want to enable.
