The graphics feature some amazing sprite work made from the same folks that made "Slain". Glad I was able to get this physical.

Store your files safely on this 240GB PNY solid-state drive. It achieves write speeds of 500MB/sec. and read speeds of 535MB/sec., providing transfer rates faster than traditional hard drives. The lack of moving parts on this PNY solid-state drive reduces its chance of failure.

Small graphics card that can play modern games
on January 27, 2020
Posted by: AlexV
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love how slim the card is. It can easily fit into almost any build, possibly even some small form factor cases. It consumes a low amount of power straight from the motherboard so in most cases you do not have to upgrade your power supply.
Keep your expectations realistic, you won't be doing 4k gaming with 60 fps, but this will play most modern games anywhere from 720p-1080p at a decent playable framerate. It is also perfect for everyday use and normal tasks like surfing the web. It's exactly what I needed for my kid's computers and it works great in my own personal 2nd PC.
Follow the directions and install the GeForce Experience, let it automatically obtain the drivers and perform a clean install through the program. I personally uninstalled the experience program once I was done getting the drivers since I prefer to keep my computer lean and bloatware free.
My only con is the price, which is currently sitting at over $100.00 dollars. Find it a bit cheaper elsewhere and get a price match.

Add a sharply dressed villain to your collection with this Funko POP! My Hero Academia All For One vinyl figure. The signature twisted mechanical face mask of this evildoer is reinterpreted in the classic POP! style. Window box packaging offers an ideal way to display this Funko POP! My Hero Academia All For One vinyl figure.

My son loves it
on January 3, 2020
Posted by: AlexV
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'll be completely honest. I personally don't really understand why these big headed collectibles are so popular, but my son seems loves them so that's all that matters to me.
He proudly displays this one in his room with his other ones. The joy and smile on his face when he got this one earned its 5 star review. To each their own.

Review for IPhone 7 (128gb, Unlocked, Rose Gold)
on December 27, 2019
Posted by: AlexV
Verified Purchase:Yes
(This is a review for a pre-owned IPhone 7, 128gb, Unlocked, Rose Gold color purchased on the Best Buy site).
Pros: Phone works perfectly out of the box. Screen had no visible scratches. Phone was factory reset and ready to configure when I turned it on. Came with a charging block and cable. Phone was unlocked as advertised and I was able to switch it to my carrier T-mobile easily.
Cons: Phone did have a lot of visible wear to the Rose Gold paint on the back and sides of the phone. Not a huge deal since my daughter wanted a phone case that covers that up completely. The phone also did not come with its original box. It came in a generic box, but was securely packaged. Also it did not come with its original cord or charging block, but the included peripherals charge the phone just fine with no issues.

Is there a way to install this in a W10/64 machine that has no current graphics card? If so, how do the drivers install?

Yes you can definitely install this into a Windows 10 machine. Windows will automatically get working drivers as long as you are connected to the Internet when you start the PC.

I would recommend downloading the GeForce Experience from the Nvidia site and letting it obtain the drivers afterwards and choose the "clean install" option. This is the easiest way to ensure that you have the latest drivers. I uninstall GeForce Experience once I'm done since I don't like bloatware.

Only at Best Buy Showcase part of your gaming collection in stunning fashion with this Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Metal Case. The high-quality metal construction protects against damage, and the multicolored exterior with multiple characters captures attention. This Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Metal Case features two interior clips to store an instruction manual and a secure location for disc storage
 

It looks like there are two disc holders on this. Why is this exclusively offered for the Nintendo Switch version if there is no cartridge holder (and not offered with the PS4 or Xbox One version)???

It comes with a plastic insert inside that will hold the Nintendo cartridge as well as the disc hubs to place the disc in for other versions.

Add a splash of color to your entertainment system with this Nintendo Joy-Con for Nintendo Switch. Its bright neon red and blue hues add a cheerful touch, and it lets you include another player in your games for competition or cooperation. This Nintendo Joy-Con can be separated into two parts for additional control options. Can be used by pairing wirelessly to Nintendo Switch 2. Cannot be attached to Nintendo Switch 2. A Nintendo Switch console or compatible accessory such as a Joy-Con charging grip or Joy-Con charging stand (two-way) is required for charging.
 

My current controllers aren't working properly. Can I pair a new set to my Nintendo switch?

Yes. The easiest way to pair these new Joycons is to just physically attach them to the desired system. They will pair immediately. Make sure to update them in the settings as well once attached.

Is this the blue(L) and red(R) set? Or is it the other way around. I see the pictures have both sets and do not specify which.

The ones I bought at the best buy store came with a LEFT RED and RIGHT BLUE. This is the opposite of the colors that come included with the neon blue and red switch console.
