This is a great value bundle that is frequently available for around $10; a great deal for 3 movies. While District 9 is the best movie in the pack, leading Blomkamps directing career, the other movies are a fun, new story that I don't think has been over-told.

This, in my opinion, is one of the best Marvel movies to date. The character development is fantastic and makes you really care about their arches. Even the villain is set up to well that you really don't care who wins.

Got this as the deal of the day at a great price. Nothing fancy about this unit but does exactly what you would expect.
I do appreciate that it come with an SD adapter so you can use it as a micro SD or regular SD card.

This speaker is pretty good. I love that it is water resistant and plan on using it when floating down the river this summer. The battery life is decent to good. It takes a couple hours to charge but will last close to the 12 hours it advertises - less if you use the Alexa/wifi feature. Speaking of which, it is awesome being able to tell Alexa to play a certain band or song or to turn the music up or down. While this feature is handy, the mic is not the greatest and I find myself having to yell (my fiance will say scream) at the unit to get it to register I am talking to it.
The sound is decent but not the best on the market. I got it on sale for $100 and cannot imagine being happy if I had paid any more. For the retail price, you can get a much better unit.

I bought this machine to replace my Samsung tablet that was on its last leg. I love that this machine supports Google Play and the convertible form factor lets me use it like a laptop or tablet. The touchscreen and pen are a nice feature and frequently find myself scrolling by touchscreen instead of the track-pad. The track-pad is a high quality and supports several different multi-finger gestures; my only gripe is that my fingers are large and I find myself scrolling several times to make the same progress I would with swiping the screen.
The screen has an uncommon 3:2 aspect ratio instead of the traditional 16:9. Using this machine in tablet mode on its side feels like you are holding a pad of paper and feels very natural. I have seen a few complaints that this aspect ratio leaves big letterbox bars on the top/bottom of the screen but I have not had this issue and it is an acceptable amount of viewing space.
The keyboard is also on the small size since the screen size uses more vertical space than a traditional screen. There is a good amount of travel between keys so typing gets more friendly as you get used to it. One thing I do not think I will ever get over is the backspace button. This key is usually 2x bigger than a regular key and it is actually smaller here than other keyboards. I frequently find myself hitting the keys next to it, leading to deleting even more typos. The tab button has the same issues but since I do not use that key very often it isn't as much of an issue for me. The keyboard is also not back lit. The screen is bright enough that you can use it to see the keyboard but then it is too bright to use at nighttime.
The speakers are mediocre. While they do not get very loud, I do not think I would ever need to blare music from this device; it also has Bluetooth and I would just connect to my speaker system for this to be a deal breaker.
Depending on usage, I am getting around 8 hour batter life. This is mostly spent surfing the web but also a couple hours of movies/Netflix. Could get closer to 10 hours of just web based activities and not streaming. It charges quickly using the included type-c USB charger. I get a full charge in less than 3 hours.
I think this machine is great for basic usage but not at the $600 price tag. I was able to get it at $100 off plus free Samsung Connect Home Pro router ( https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-connect-home-pro-ac2600-whole-home-wi-fi-system-white/5872506.p?skuId=5872506 ). With a sale like that, I would recommend this Chromebook. Otherwise, I would direct you towards other machines that come at a lower price point.

It wasnt until after I picked up this disc that I learned it was an EP. $ of the 5 tracks are exclusive to this EP but the opening track was from the album "Whatever people say I am, I am not". I would recommend picking up their albums first.
If just getting into this band, I would recommend "AM" first, it is a bit more friendly and rocks from the first track through the end of the album. Or "Whatever people say I am, thats what I am not", this album is a bit more groovy and has a lot of great hooks.

There are a lot of great songs on this album. The singles from this album are what got me into the Arctic Monkeys, however, some of the songs seem pale in comparison and feel hollow and leave a lot to be desired.
All in all, a great album. If just getting into this band, I would recommend "AM" first, it is a bit more friendly and rocks from the first track through the end of the album. Or "Whatever people say I am, thats what I am not", this album is a bit more groovy and has a lot of great hooks.

love this release. Got it on sale so it was a great bargain for the original game plus the zombie expansion.
I had only played the zombie portion previously and am excited to finally play the main story line. GTA with horses!

Does this work with the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (Model #: SM-T580)?

As long as you have a functioning micro sd card reader, which the tab a has, it will work just fine.

This Samsung Chromebook Plus 12.3" has a 32GB hard drive with plenty of room for documents, photographs and music.
 

I am considering purchasing a Samsung Chromebook Plus. Is there a less expensive ( but same size) Samsung Chromebook that will give the same performance with a few less “bells and whistles”? What would be sacrificed in the other model?

For the 3:2 aspect ratio and 12.3 inch screen, there are only two options - the Plus and Pro, with the Plus being the less exspensive model. There are tons of other Chromebooks, including either Samsung models, that will carry a smaller price tag that either of these models. Most other Chromebooks will not include the built in stylus and will drop the touchscreen.

Check out the Asus Flip ( https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-flip-c213sa-2-in-1-11-6-touch-screen-chromebook-intel-celeron-4gb-memory-32gb-emmc-flash-memory-gray-dark-gray/5864604.p?skuId=5864604 ). The one in the link still has a touchscreen and is able to "flip" between tablet and laptop mode just like the Samsung ones.

Take your data on the go with this PNY Attaché USB 2.0 flash drive that features a spacious 128GB capacity for storing your files.
 

Why discount 32 meg flash drive?

Is there a down side to buying more capacity than I need at present?
IOW, I am suspicious why Best Buy is so heavily discounting the 32 meg flash drives.
The item the question was asked about is a usb 2.0, which has slower speed than 3.0, making it cheaper. If the asking if time it takes to move/save data matters to you, you should buy a better usb thumb drive.

Memory it's also much cheaper than it was just a few years earlier.
