AVATAR... James Cameron... What else is there to say?? Sure this movie is 9 yrs old, but the picture quality and sound on the Blu-Ray release will easily stand up and/or beat any of todays top hits. The better your TV the better this will look. The Box-Set includes 3 versions of the film. Original Theatrical release- Collectors Extended Cut (+16 min) and Special Edition Re-Release ( +8 min). And 2 more discs of bonus features. Also interesting is that not he Original and Re-Release versions you can also choose a "Family Audio Track" in which "All Objectionable Language" is removed so its child friendly :-) Highly recommend this version of AVATAR!!

With all the high profile corporate "hacks" these days, the fewer places my credit card is stored the better. How do you keep you CC info out of/ off XBox Live? You buy subscription/gift cards at you retailer of choice and enter the code on Xbox Live. Same price but more secure. If you wanted to go next level secure, you buy said card with cash. :-)

If you have the equipment (4K Blu-Ray Player, 4K tv with HDR) this IS THE BEST RELEASE of The Fifth Element ever!! The previous "Mastered in 4K" was for sure good. But this version with HDR is over the top. The details are impressive and constant, and while the HDR does darken the image a bit the COLORS REALLY POP!!!! The soundtrack is the same Dolby Atmos as the previous release. I dont have an Atmos system, but I can tell you the DD 5.1 version is as impressive as ever!! Sony knows this movie has been considered a "reference quality" movie, and the effort put not this newest edition shows. Love The Fifth Element? Then you will love this version !!

If you loved John Wick at the theater, you will love this 4K Ultra HD w/HDR release! This disc was made form a 2K master file. So it is a subtle improvement over the standard Blu-Ray for the fine details. The most noticeable change is the HDR. Bright colors stand out more and show better contrast to whats around them. The Audio is Dolby Atmos, I dont have the ability to play that but I will say the standard Dolby Digital is still as detailed and dynamic as ever. If you have a 4K TV and 4K Blu-Ray player this will make a nice addition to you collection. Add HDR and turn off the lights its SHOWTIME!!!

Microsoft - Xbox One X 1TB Console with 4K Ultra Blu-ray
Games play better on Xbox One X. With 40% more power than any other console, experience immersive true 4K gaming. Blockbuster titles look great, run smoothly, and load quickly, and you can bring all your Xbox One games and accessories with you.

Ungraded from a One Elite counsel to the X. (TV4K HDR Sony XBR) All games were digital copies no discs involved. The X does seem to load a little quicker, but not $500 quicker. It does upscale all games to 4K. Can you tell the difference in a non optimized games. No they look exactly the same, if there's a difference I can't tell. There is a list on the XBox website that tell you what games are Enhanced for the X and what games are in the works. So I picked up Forza 7 and CoD WW2. Those are games made native at 4K HDR , not upgraded to 4K. Forza looks INSANE!!! You can see the shadows from the grain in the leather on the "A" Pillar in the Porsche move in real time !! The red stitching in the dashboard leather!! CoD also looks great, but not as high res as Forza. HDR looks good but initially everything looks darker, because HDR allows Full black right next to brighter colors. So need to get used to that. The X is very quiet and the Air is drawn in thru the sides and pushed out though the lower back. Blows very warm air but nothing I would call HOT. All of your One, and One S accessories will carry over, (NOTE this counsel ONLY comes with a controller, power cord, and HDMI cable. IT DOES NOT COME WITH A MIC) if all of your games are on an external HDD its almost plug and play. If you have a "One", You get the FULL 4K HDR upgrades, 4K BluRay HDR, and Native 4K HDR game capability. If you already own an "S" then you only gain native 4K gaming. The counsel size is almost identical to the S. If you have a 4K TV AND it's HDR capable, then you will see visual improvements in games that are "ENHANCED for the One X". Games not enhanced will look and feel virtually identical to a One S counsel. According to Msft the X is meant to be a bigger brother to the S, not a replacement. So if your Happy with you S. I would recommend saving your $$$ until more goes are native 4K and you also have a 4K HDR set to take advantage of them. Almost forgot, the X only comes with a 1TB HDD. 4K games are HUGE !!! Forza 7was over 100GB to DL the Ultimate Edition. CoD WW2 was around 7GB. I have Full DL of the following games and my HDD is 49.2% full. Forza 7, Cod WW2 (Dig Deluxe Ed), Halo Master Chief Col., RB6 Siege, CoD Infinite Warfare, Cod MW Remastered. Yeah if only 396.1GB is free we are over 50% full but apparently the OS is huge if 396 is considered 51% of whats avail to me. That roughly means my space total avail is sliver over 800GB.and the OS is close to 200GB !!! WOW!! Get a few map packs and such and space could get tight quick. Thankfully you can always all an ext HDD later. I would have stayed with my One Elite and been completely happy with it and saved the $500. But I got $XXX for my birthday and Christmas so gifting my Elite to my nieces for "MineCraft" duty.

Apple Watch™ Magnetic Charging Cable (1 m) - White
Charging your Apple Watch is utterly effortless with an Apple solution that combines MagSafe technology with inductive charging. It's a completely sealed system free of exposed contacts. And it's very forgiving, requiring no precise alignment. You simply hold the connector near the back of the watch, where magnets cause it to snap into place automatically.
Identical to the one included with the watch

This is the same charger as the one included when you buy any model/series of Apple Watch. So it works exactly the same way.

Picture quality top notch! Sound quality top notch..BUT. The sync is off :-( the details are impressive but the sound is a millisecond or two off. The bonuse features are a great addition too. Got this on sale for $6.99 so in the end the bonus footage alone is worth it. Fix the sound syncing and this would be an out of the park home run.

Speck - Shell Case for 15" Apple® MacBook® Pro with Retina display - Onyx Black
This Speck SPK-A4160 shell case features polycarbonate, silicone and TPU construction to guard your 15" Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display against scratches and minor damage on the go. The form-fitting design slides easily into a bag or backpack.
For a snap on shell it covers as much as practical
Customer Rating
5.0
The differences between snap on cases is small, usually how well they do or do not cover the back corners and hinge area. The Speck case covers as much as you can without hindering port access or hinge function. Speck only lists Onyx Black on their website but was able to purchase the "matte" Black at my Local Best Buy. It has a little more grip to it than the glossy Onxy Black model, however still not as much as the "Rubberized" finish of the 3+ yr old Speck Case it's replacing. For the protection it offers while still allowing my MBP to slip easily in and out of any soft sleeve or back pack, it's money well spent.

Is this applicable for both 110v and 220v? Is there a console that's only meant for 220v?
This counsel is rated for 110V-240V. Unless it comes with a different plug when sold in 220V countries you will need an adaptor for the connection type only. YOU WILL NOT NEED A VOLTAGE CONVERTER.

WD - My Passport Ultra 2TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive - Titanium
Store music, movies and more with this WD My Passport Ultra 2TB external hard drive, which features a USB 3.0/2.0 interface for wide-ranging compatibility and fast transfer speeds. Password protection and hardware encryption help keep your data safe.
Is the auto back up software in CD form? Or can I download it?
I am buying a laptop without an internal CD Drive and I won't have access to any sort of CD-based software on that (I'm not willing to buy an external CD Drive). I would like to do the auto backups onto this external hard drive, but it isn't necessary as I could do the manual ones with the usb.
The WD back up software comes preinstalled on the drive and it will ask you if you want to install and use it when you first plug it in. If you choose not to use it you can just delete if all form the drive. I just reformatted the drive right out of the box so I could use the Time Machine feature built into the mac OS and not have to add more software to my Mac.
