Take the stage as Princess Peach to save the theater in this action game. Masked villains named Grape and the Sour Bunch have taken over the Sparkle Theater and turned all of its plays into disasters! Now it~s up to Peach and the theater~s guardian, Stella, to take the stage and use the power of Sparkle to get things back to normal. Help the performers make the theater shine bright again by using Peach~s ribbon and transformations! Play like a princess and transform to save the day with showstopping abilities. Within each play, Peach will magically transform to match that play~s setting. Show off fancy swordplay and slash your way through a storybook play as Swordfighter Peach, or wrangle up outlaws with a lasso as Cowgirl Peach in a western-style one. Each transformation has its own abilities to keep the action fun and fresh~one moment you may be sneaking around as Ninja Peach, and the next you may be singing as Mermaid Peach. She~s the hero each performance needs! Whisk up tasty treats as Patissiere Peach. Defend against aliens with Mighty Peach~s super strength. Spin and jump on ice as Figure Skater Peach. Infiltrate the base with Dashing Thief Peach~s gadgets. Sleuth for clues as Detective Peach and find out whodunnit. Kick and punch as Kung Fu Peach. There are lots of transformations waiting behind the curtain!

Black friday deal
on December 14, 2022
Posted by: Gilbert
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this on Black Friday (2021) which knocked off $1k from sticker price. This to me was great deal. Couldn't say no to this. I've had this for over 12 months now and I am 100% happy with my purchase still. I have connected to my Sonos Arc, sub, and rear speakers and this setup eliminates the desire to go the theaters. Well worth the money especially considering I don't go to the movies anymore (which I would stay closed permanently because of COVID).

Sold b/c of ecosystem
on December 14, 2022
Posted by: Gilbert
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm happy with these, mostly because of the apple ecosystem. The sound is okay. It doesn't beat the sound quality of my old Bose Sound Sport. One major drawback is that the case is very slippery. I've dropped this case many times when taken them out of my pocket.

Cool in theory but not near as much in practice.
on February 24, 2022
Posted by: Gilbert
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had this for over a month and returned it. I purchased it during a sale where I was given a $50 gift card. The idea of the meta verse is interesting but wearing the device is uncomfortable on my eyes. I tried adjusting it using advice I've found online and it helped a bit but I still couldn't stand eye strain after 30 min. And I would get bored quickly. It's not for me.

Tarantino fan? Of course you are. Get this.
on February 24, 2022
Posted by: Gilbert
Verified Purchase:Yes
The color and details looked amazing on my Sony A9G. The sound could have sounded better on my Sonos surround sound but unfortunately Dolby Atmos is not available on either disk. However, this is such a great movie. The conversations are epic. The gory scenes are slightly exaggerated but I appreciate the art and wouldn't change it. Tarantino has yet to disappoint.

This 4K title on an OLED - WOW - Take my money.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The last time I watched this movie was on VHS on a 720p TV. I watched this 4K disk on my Sony A9G OLED TV and it looked stunning. The color and details from this 4K disk amps the experience much more than just watching a great movie again. IMHO, Apollo 13 in 4K is a must have in your movie collection.

I used the SATA cable on my Alienware Aurora R7 to add a new 1TB SSD by WD. The length of the cable was more than enough so I had cable manage the left over lenght (~10 inches).

Great Trek Eposide from Simon Pegg
By ArthurAsc from Queens, NY
The movie itself is great.
The Bluray itself - color and sound is excellent. Less Ad or bloat content.
However, my bluray case, metal and plastic is broken. See picture.

Gilbert's Questions
 
Convert the sound signals from HDMI to analog or optical output with this Insignia HDMI audio extractor. The 3.5mm jack makes connecting headphones or a speaker system as needed simple. This Insignia HDMI audio extractor lets you choose between stereo sound or 5.1 channels with the flip of a switch, providing a variety of audio options for different media.
 

I have an non-smart 5 year old LG TV that does not have optical connection nor an arc connection. Can I connect my Sonos Arc via optical connection to the extractor and also my Roku Ultra so that I can enjoy Dolby 5.1 from Netflix ?

Create the perfect speaker setup with this Rocketfish multidirectional speaker wall mount. It angles your speakers thanks to the separate tilting and turning mechanisms so that you get the ideal 7.2 or 5.1 surround-sound setup. In addition, this Rocketfish multidirectional speaker wall mount ensures your speakers are out of the way.
 

Will these work with Sonos one SL?

No. The back design of the Sonos one SL does not have a threaded hole to accept a screw from the wall mount, unlike the Sonos Play 1.
I purchased the wall mount today and I am returning it tomorrow.

Yes. I used the SATA cable for my 1 TB SSD SATA. I measure the speed of the SSD and it matched the manufacture's advertised speed.
