Good storage for PS5.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent storage for a PS5 upgrade. I don’t fear that I’ll run out soon, and the speed is excellent. The only thing you’ll need is a compatible heat sink for use with the PS5. Can be found easily at the largest online retailer with a quick search.

Self-lit pixels emit their own light for perfect black, intense color and stunning picture~paired with our best processor for even better picture quality. Only on OLED.

Amazing picture
on January 1, 2022
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
Absolutely the best tv I’ve used. The picture is superb, and although it took a little time to tinker in the menus to get things to look the way I like, it was well worth it. PS5 games look great, and so do Xbox series X. Sub 4k content looks great as well for both the switch, and satellite. Can’t wait for more 120hz content, especially for sports.

Daughter has fun coloring this one and making her pictures appear on screen. The only thing I don’t like is that if you have a case for your iPad, you have to remove it to allow the osmo hardware to fit.

DEATHLOOP is a next-gen first person shooter from Arkane Lyon, the award-winning studio behind Dishonored. In DEATHLOOP, two rival assassins are trapped in a mysterious timeloop on the island of Blackreef, doomed to repeat the same day for eternity. As Colt, the only chance for escape is to end the cycle by assassinating eight key targets before the day resets. Learn from each cycle - try new paths, gather intel, and find new weapons and abilities. Do whatever it takes to break the loop.

A fun Lego set I put together with my son. He does a great job of following the instructions. I really wish these Lego sets had the paper manuals to use instead of making me use my phone. I understand these are intended be played with in conjunction with an app, but sometimes my kids just want to build them.

They’re good when they work, but I’m having issues adding them to my wife’s phone. It says Max limit reached. I don’t have any other air tags on the device, but the phone has other family member devices listed there. Should be easier to do.

Patch breaks the game - look online firsg

Currently I can’t play this. I installed it, then the 30+gb patch, and I get a “cannot play this” error. It’s a known glitch, and there is a workaround. But I don’t want to reinstall the game and the update. My ISP has a data cap. I’ll wait for them to send another update and then eventually I may play the game.

Wemo WiFi Smart Plug is smaller than ever and gives you total control over your lights and devices. Turn them on and off from anywhere using the Wemo app or by using your voice with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant.* You can also set schedules and timers for lights and devices. Or use Away Mode to randomly turn lamps on and off when you~re not home. Sync lights connected to the Smart Plug with the sunset and you~ll never have to come back to a dark home. Smart Plug~s extra-small design~45% smaller than the previous model~won~t cover both outlets, freeing up the second outlet for a second Smart Plug to connect fans, lamps, and other devices.

Prepare giant feasts efficiently with this GE freestanding electric double oven range. The steam-cleaning feature helps minimize maintenance, and the extra-large oven capacity fits large pans or multiple dishes. This GE freestanding electric range has a delay-bake option for your convenience.
 

Is the large oven big enough to hold at 24 lb turkey?

Probably on the bottom rack. You’d need dimensions of the turkey and the roasting pan to get your answer though.

Bump up your home theater sound setup with our new rear surround speaker kit that provides improved connectivity and a wireless receiver that~s compatible with select LG soundbars.
 

I hook up the rear's LG speakers to my LG soundbar are you supposed to hear voice talking all the back speakers all the time

I think it depends on the sound profile you’re using (eg music, games etc)

Explore a fantastical adventure world to defeat a bodybuilding dragon and his minions using real-life exercises. Traverse grass-swept plains by jogging in place, attack enemies with overhead shoulder presses, and refill your health meter by striking some yoga poses. Two new accessories, Ring-Con and Leg Strap, measure your real-world actions and help turn them into in-game movements. With additional mini games, Ring Fit Adventure is a great escape for players of all skill levels and schedules. In the Adventure mode, defeat enemies with attacks based on real-world exercises. As you work through each level (and possibly work up a sweat), you'll earn experience points. Between fights, you may encounter some unusual methods of transportation, such as squat-powered launch pads and more. Want to compete with others? Pass around the Ring-Con accessory, and select from a few mini games: break boxes with gusts of air, craft pottery using squats and more.
 

What is all included with the game?

The game, a Pilates ring that a joy con slides into, and a leg strap to put another joy con into. No joy cons included.

Move with stealth across dangerous landscapes using these Nintendo Joy-Con controllers. Compatibility with the Nintendo Switch system means you can hold both controls independently in each hand or together when attached to the compatible grip for multiple ways to have fun. These Nintendo Joy-Con controllers feature a full set of buttons for smooth execution of special abilities when gaming.
 

Are the insides updated? The current Joy Cons have a large amount of complaints due to drifting issues, and having bought a second pair and still having issues, I would like to know if these have resolved that issue before purchasing them.

Nothing leads me to believe (my playtime or research) that this has been updated from the original joy con.
