One of my favorite games for years was on Playstation and now it has been recreated for the PS4! Been a long time, but it is as I remember it — bad puns and all... :D

Looks good on wall

I wasn’t enamored with my Geek Squad installation, but the speaker is nice. A bit weak and in the low-mids for a Center Channel, imo, but otherwise good sound. You can see a bit through the white cover which makes the surface look “dirty” around the speakers, however, so I deducted a star for that.

Get the party started with this SVS SB-1000 subwoofer. The high-performance 12-inch driver provides powerful bass, while dynamic processing produces smooth sound across the bass frequency range for maximum impact from music and movies. A compact 13-inch cabinet lets you hide this SVS SB-1000 subwoofer away for easy layout management.

Nice sub

Verified Purchase:Yes
A bit too glossy (I would have preferred a white satin finish) but bass response is great and easily fills a large room. I still need to tweak some of my receiver settings but this is paired up with Kef T-series surround speakers and it adds a nice whomp to movie effects. Recommended.

Very vintage, very cool!

Verified Purchase:Yes
As a child of the 80s, I bought this boombox for a portable way to be able to rip my old cassettes to MP3s. While I haven’t had a chance to do that yet, here are a few other comments: overall its build quality is good (reminds me a lot of the Emerson that I had as a kid), however the toggle selector switches on the right do seem very cheap and could break easily. The sound quality is okay (NOT as good as the Emerson that I had).

Reasonable, but not as powerful as powered

I bought this on a Deal of the Day, so for what I paid, it is worth it. The antenna is small and pulls in about 4-5 channels without too much digital noise, however I'll be upgrading to a powered antenna for a bit more $$.

Being able to extend signal capture outside of the entertainment center is why I purchased this product. I have not had a chance to hook it up yet, however, but shipping was prompt.

Nice little laptop
on January 3, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nice size and screen. Outside shell is not as robust as I would have liked. It is very hard to find a case that fits it, so my wife bought a “sleeve” for it. The viewing angle is not as optimal as my MacBook Pro, but my wife loves its touchscreen and uses it for bill paying, web surfing and email. Bought it on sale for $249. Pretty good deal. :)

Still a bit on the pricey side even on sale, but bought it for my son for Christmas. It is nicely made, about the size of credit card but much thicker. My son loves it and uses it to back-up his Macbook laptop.

Meet ibi~, the smart photo manager that collects all of your favorite photos and videos from your phone, computer, USB drives and popular cloud and social media accounts in one place at home. ibi lets you privately share individual photos or entire albums from vacations, birthday parties, weddings and more with only those you choose.
Is there a monthly fee
No, there is no monthly fee for using your ibi device. However, you ARE dependent upon the SanDisk servers being active and online. If they are not available (for whatever reason (temporary outage or service discontinuation)), then you will lose all access to your ibi data -- unless SanDisk modifies the way in which end users can access their data. Only the optional SanDisk "Do More" (ibi add-on, Cloud-based back-up service) has a subscription fee.

Can Ibi crash? If so will you lose your photos?
Yes, it is a HDD (hard disk drive) so if the hard drive fails, you will lose your photos (short of paying a service to open up your device and make an attempt to extract the image/files off of it which can be expensive). Note that SanDisk sells a service "add-on" called "Mirror It" when you register your ibi (located under DO MORE in the App) which allows you purchase a subscription to a separate Cloud back-up of your ibi data for $ per month (or year). More importantly, I discovered that if the SanDisk SERVERS are ever unavailable (either they go offline temporarily OR if SanDisk/Western Digital decides to discontinue the ibi service, then the way that they currently restrict the software, you will LOSE ALL ACCESS to your files -- even though they are still resident on the HDD inside of the ibi device! This is because you must first log into your SanDisk account (using their servers) as an intermediary, which then talks to your ibi. There is currently NO DIRECT ACCESS that I can find... This learning, to me, was an eye-opener and very disappointing -- I am considering returning the 2 units that I purchased because of this.
