Battlefield Hardline - PRE-OWNED - Xbox One
Get a piece of the action in Battlefield Hardline, a fresh, new take on Battlefield that allows you to live out your cops and criminal fantasy. Combining an emotionally driven single-player story inspired by popular TV crime dramas, and an all-out-war multiplayer on the streets of Los Angeles and Miami, Hardline delivers the most complete FPS on the market.
BattleField Hardline Good Shooter Game
Customer Rating
4.0
BattleField Hardline is not similar to BattleField4. You'll be Nick Mendoza cop accompanied by Kai (Asian Lady Cop) hunting bad guys. Nice story line But not so interested as BattleField 4. Grappling hooks and zipline is interesting to play But it's not available in all episodes.
Worth to try.

Amazon Fire TV Stick is a Must for Non-Smart TVs. It brings new level of entertainment channels/apps and more.
I tried Chromecast But I prefer Fire TV stick for 3 reasons. This review merely comparison between Fire TV Stick and Chromecast.
1. Kodi Support : Kodi is an external app that can be installed on Fire TV stick. It's truly Great app and everyone must try. Unfortunately Chromecast don't support Kodi/custom app installation. It's really a Deal Breaker. I have Samsung Smart TV, still I bought this for Kodi Support. Now I watch Indian (Tamil) Movies / Live TVs / TV Shows / Radio Stations at no cost.
2. Remote Support : Fire TV stick has dedicated remote that's helpful to enter text and navigate thru menus. You don't need mobile or tablet to operate the stick. Chromecast requires external device.
3. App store : Amazon App store has lot of apps (+ few Games) But Chromecast doesn't have dedicated app store to download/install required apps. When google releases the app for Chromecast, it'll automatically installed on Chromecast. Still No of apps supported by Chromecast is not upto any other app store. (Amazon / Samsung app store).

Extra features.
1. Games : Can install and play games with Fire TV stick with Remote even though Amazon App store has limited good games (I recommend Asphalt). You can buy Amazon Game Controller which is similar to XBox One Controller. It's Great to play with the controller rather remote.
2. Alexa aka Voice Search : Fire TV comes with Alexa (like Siri in iPhone.) It understands many commands and executes well. (Even I have accent, still it interprets well) Eg. What's the weather outside? What's the time in India? To command Alexa, you need Mobile or voice remote (Sold separately.) It's Really Awesome Feature.

I'd recommend Fire TV stick to Non-Smart TV users. It's a Must.
Smart TV users who wish to expand the channels/platform, Kodi via Fire TV stick is the way to go.

Surf the Internet and navigate your laptop with ease with this Logitech K400 920-003070 wireless touch keyboard that features a built-in multitouch touchpad for simple Web browsing. Plug-and-play design allows immediate use.
Light Weight Keyboard. Touchpad is Great
Customer Rating

I've been using Logitech K400 Wireless keyboard for past 1 year with my PC. It's Great and ordered one more to use with Samsung Smart TV.
It's a Breeze to use Keyboard + Touch Pad. I dumped the Wireless Mouse. Because the Touchpad on this Keyboard works very well for me. It's very light weight and compact, I can keep on my lap or on table without any hassle. I recommend this Keyboard to anyone who looking for Great Wireless keyboard with touchpad feature.

Bose Cinemate GS Series II is Amazing Home Theatre. It gives Real Theatre like Experience. I've checked 1000w 5.1 Systems. But none of them can beat this. Easy Setup and No Mess with Wires. I feel this should have HDMI Input/port. Optical and RCA Inputs are fine.

Replacement remote?
My son left the remote lay on his bed and I accidentally put it through the washer. I realized it before I put it in the dryer and I took the batteries out and let it air dry for a few days. My son put the batteries back in and the remote no longer works. Instead of purchasing the whole package, I was wondering if I can just purchase a new remote?
Yes. You can purchase the replacement remote. Search for "Replacement Remote for Amazon Fire TV Stick". Meanwhile you can install Amazon Fire TV app on your mobile and use it as Remote Control. With mobile phone you can use Voice Search (Alexa).

fire stick does not seem to fit easily into hdmi port
Fire TV stick uses standard HDMI port found on most of the devices. If it didn't fit well then I hope there is some issue with the stick. Check the pins on HDMI port.

Does it store passwords for WPA/WPS protected wifi or do youu have to keep entering them
My current DVD streaming device constantly loses connection and I have to go through the process of reenteing the lengthy password everytime I lose the connection. The device hasn't hard memory only active memory. Does this stick have memory for passwords?
Yes. This device has passive memory. It can remember password even it's turned off. I hope the issue is with Router or DVD device.

The firestick is not performing as the instructions said.
When I plugged in the firestick to an HDMI port, there was no prompt to connect to WIFI. When I scrolled through the TV input area to the HDMI port I connected the firestick to, no device was recognized. Please help or should I go to the geek squad?
Once you plugged Fire TV stick on HDMI port then you should select "Source" on TV and select the respective HDMI port. Check for "Source" button on the remote and try.

I cannot find an HDMI port on my TV-about a 2005 vintage hitachi
Is there an adapter I can use? Is it possible to use the Fire stick on this TV
As far as I know, It's not possible. I checked the HDMI to component converters, But they convert from Component to HDMI.
You can visit Best Buy store ask them for HDMI to Component converter to use Fire TV stick. They'll be able to check in the store.
