 FIFA 15 - PlayStation 4
FIFA 15 - PlayStation 4
There's no game quite like soccer, you think as you join your teammates for another brutal match. As you bask in the heat of the sun and the uproarious chants of the fans, it's almost overwhelming. But the promise of a win is nearly tangible in the air and you know what you have to do. Seconds after the kickoff you and 10 teammates — the best players in the world — claim possession and weave intricate patterns that decimate your opponents' defense. You deftly maneuver around another player and take the pass coming your way. One powerful kick is all it takes — the ball sails home past the goalie. Once more, you've proven you have what it takes to dominate the match.Step into the drama and action of soccer like never before with FIFA 15 as you experience all the furious competition of the game rendered in breathtaking realism. Battle the world's best players and witness their expressions of intensity, celebration and defeat detailed in lifelike accuracy with Emotional Intelligence modeling. Contend with the conditions of the pitch and realistic interactions between players, the ball and their environment with Physically Correct Contacts that re-create dribbles, touches, passes, shots and deflections in relation to the position of the body part or object with which they connect. Plunge into the physicality of head-to-head competition with intense Man-to-Man Battles that test your skills and endurance and establish dominance with Full-Body Defending. Move fluidly through opposing players on the path to the goal with responsive player control. Feel the heart-pounding rush at the heart of the game as you're surrounded by region-specific behaviors, cheers and chants from the crowd and insightful commentary with Dynamic Match Presentation. Immerse yourself in lifelike authenticity with grass that responds to the progress of a match with Living Pitches and Authentic Player visuals that ensure you don't miss a single detail. Take to the pitch with three friends in offline play or go online to compete with 21 other players. Victory is waiting to be seized — are you ready to make your move?

I had been looking for both a sound bar as well as a multiroom audio solution for my apartment. The Polk Omni line satisfied both of those needs better than I ever expected.
I have the sound bar and 3 S2's. Setup was simple with the app and within minutes I had music playing throughout my place. I had a few questions and called the Polk customer service line and a live person answered the phone ready to assist me! Sounds a lot better than bluetooth and it's much more stable than Airplay. It was also a lot less money than Sonos.
The App has lots of room for improvement but i am told they are working on constant improvements. That's one of the things I like about this system, it will never be out of date.
The sound and bass on the sound bar blows away my old Sony 5.1 system, I actually have to be mindful of the neighbors. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

The carafe that comes with the machine is pretty useless unless you are serving all of the coffee right after you brew it. This is the carafe that should have come with the machine in the first place. Keeps the coffee hot for hours and the price at Best Buy was lower than anyone else.

I wasa little weary of having a Vizio as my main TV, I was checking out the Samsungs but the features of the Vizio kept calling me. For 240hz, the price is just incredible and so is the picture. The sound is not a factor for me as I have it hooked up to my home theater system. Would love to have HBO Go on the tv but apparently they have a contract with Samsung.

What's great about it: Tablet, speed, touch, wake-up time
What's not so great: Pretty heavy, batery life
Bought this to use for sales presentations and to have customers sign our agreements right on the screen. Love that I can take the tablet part right off and give it to a customer to sign like paper.
Others reviewers said it was too slow, I don't see that at all. I love how fast it wakes up from sleep, much faster than my Asus. It does seem pretty heavy for it's size but I guess the more expensive ones would be lighter. For $550 it's the perfect solution for work.
This product is... A touch pad that works great, Perfect for Business, easy to set up, bulky, lightning fast

What's great about it: Screen size, touch screen, inputs
What's not so great: Weight, large base, started out slow
I wanted to wait before I posted my review, I've now been using this computer for 3 months. At first I was weary of my purchase and almost returned it, however, for the sale price I got it at, it's a great value compared to other systems.
I was surprised by how heavy it is, all of the components are in the very large base so i wonder why the screen has to be so thick and heavy?
There was a ton of bloatware on the system, mostly free garbage stuff from Lenovo that did nothing but slow the system down. Startup was taking close to 5 minutes. Now that I have deleted those items and tweaked the programs used during startup, the system is much faster.
After 3 months I am finally happy with my purchase. Videos play great in HD, the sound is decent, and I have no problem running multiple apps at once. Windows 8 sucks, but I won't judge this machine on that. Using this PC was like breaking in a nice pair of shoes, took some time but now I'm comfortable.

What's great about it: Keeps my bedroom cool, very quiet
What's not so great: Energy saver
Bought this for my 12x11 bedroom and it works well. Much quieter than the 8,000 btu Sharp unit I had before this, plus it keeps the room just as cold.
My only problem is that this does not have auto cool. It does have an Energy Saver button but it keeps turning the unit on and off every 30 seconds or so.
I paid about 160 for this and couldn't be happier for the money.

What's great about it: Fast, large hard drive, tons of USB ports, HDMI!
What's not so great: Keyboard, mouse, speakers are terrible
Could not be happier with this computer thus far. Have had it for about a month and for the price i'm shocked about how well it's performed. Keep in mind the keyboard, mouse, and speakers that came with it are useless, but I had those already from my old pc. Ran the hdmi out to my tv and it looks great when i'm watching videos. The only problem so far has been that sometimes when I turn it on it doesn't connect to the network. If I restart the system it works, no biggie. For the price of the computer i'm just waiting for something bad to happen, but so far so good.

A530 processor?

The A530 was pitched as having an icore7. The specs on all other sites confirm. The Best Buy website cites that it is an icore3 they carry. Is this incorrect? Or did Lenovo/Best Buy downgrade the processor for the Best Buy item?
It has an i3. It seems like this model was specifically made for Best Buy
