The best home video presentation of a classic film
on May 16, 2021
Posted by: DarrenS
Verified Purchase:Yes
There's still a fair amount of film grain, but the film looks great - as good as when I saw it in a theater in '96! Considering I once spent $200 to buy the Japanese import LaserDisc box set, this UltraHD (which looks far better) version is a STEAL!

![Alien - 4K Blu-Ray [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/e203303a-88da-42e6-ae85-8e0c1f58d3ae.jpg)
The one that started it all! Experience the terror - from the beginning - with the first chilling chapter of the Alien saga, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Sigourney Weaver in her breakout performance as Ripley. When the crew of the space-tug Nostromo responds to a distress signal from a barren planet, they discover a mysterious life form that breeds within human hosts. The acid-blooded extraterrestrial proves to be the ultimate adversary as crew members battle to stay alive and prevent the deadly creature from reaching Earth.

The best this film has looked in over 40 years!

I cannot get over how incredible this 4K transfer looks. It is not just the best quality I've seen since I saw it in the theater in 1979, but the extra resolution exposes details I totally forgot were there, like a long shot of the exploring party where their tiny helmet lights were visible - I do NOT remember seeing those on my Alien Legacy DVD version. Of course, like any Ridley Scott film, it's gorgeous.
If you are a fan of this film, you will LOVE this transfer!

Good, inexpensive student laptop
on September 12, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this for my ten year-old, as he enters 5th grade. I wanted something he can do remote learning on, but also one he likes to use in general. This one has got a good CPU, a decent amount of RAM and surprisingly good graphics for the price. He does report some lag in Minecraft and Roblox, but I haven't gone in to remove his shovelware yet...

Exactly what I wanted
on May 24, 2020
Posted by: DarrenS
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've loved the Diablo games since the original one was new, and I had been playing Diablo III on my Xbox 360, but I just upgraded to the Xbox One, and I wanted to play with friends and more family members. This version supports 4 on-screen players, and that seems to include any combination of local and online players. The graphics are great, the gameplay never lags, no matter how much chaos is on screen, and playing in a party is a breeze. Totally happy to have purchased this game!

Great console
on May 15, 2020
Posted by: DarrenS
Verified Purchase:Yes
The console is terrific, and I really only wanted to knock off a half-star for the fact the Jedi: Fallen Order game is not a disc as the photo implies, but a digital code. It was easy enough to use and download the game, but I do miss physical media and manuals that tell you how the controls work.
Otherwise, my problems were minor, and may have been more my fault than the console: some difficulty getting the wireless controller to pair initially (but it's been fine since), some issues with the way Microsoft handles changing accounts from the 360 to the One.
Summary: it's an amazing console, UHD Discs look incredible, and 4K gaming is gorgeous!
