This Playstation Store card is exactly what you'd expect. Its redeemable in the Playstation Store for the amount available on the card. It can be used towards purchase of PS+, digital games, preorders, and DLC.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, depth of sound, Bluetooth capable
What's not so great: Height of soundbar, no ARC/HDMI input, upconversion not fantastic
This soundbar comes with a larger than 6" sounding subwoofer and strong rear speakers. True 5.1 surround can only be achieved by receiving a true 5.1 signal, and because of input options, it may be difficult to do so. Many high end HDTVs do not output 5.1 through an optical cable. There is no HDMI input either, so ARC is not an option. The upconversion of 2 channel input is more than acceptable, but sometimes can drop out highs from the center and L/R channels. Still would highly recommend considering an audio receiver and 5.1 speaker setup can cost more than $1k.

What's great about it: Characters, story, gameplay
What's not so great: Some tired jokes, short game
After a couple of not-so-great experiments in different types of gameplay (All 4 One, Full Frontal Assault) Into the Nexus goes back to its roots with the the more traditional Ratchet and Clank gameplay. With new weapons and improved weapon upgrading, the game is really fun. It is also really short. However, this is offset by its $39.99 price, so I really can't complain. Here's hoping a next-gen Ratchet and Clank title isn't too far away.

 Sony - PlayStation 4 (500GB) - PRE-OWNED
Sony - PlayStation 4 (500GB) - PRE-OWNED
The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

What's great about it: Hardware, graphics, controller
What's not so great: Launch titles available
The PS4 is the best bang for your buck console. A massive improvement in graphics capability. The new DS4 controller has a better hand feel; joysticks are grippier, triggers are now concave, and the touchpad in the middle has major potential. The OS is an improvement over the PS3 and the PSN Store is also improved. Sharing capabilities is really cool, but could be further developed. The box itself is sleek and modern-looking with sharp edges and accent lighting. The system even comes with a HDMI cable!

What's great about it: Sound quality for the price
What's not so great: Comfort can vary due to ear size shape
These wrap-arounds are perfect for my daily exercise routine. I wanted something cheap for the gym in case they got crushed in my bag or the wires torn out and these proved to be great. The sound quality is impressive for the ear bud design. The adjustability of the wrap around piece is nice, but does not work for everyone. The only major issue I had was that the original pair I bought had blown speaker. The exchange however was painless.

What's great about it: Easy to set up, great performance
What's not so great: obnoxious blinking lights
Great modem, especially compared to those that the cable company rent out. Significant performance upgrade and easy to set up. Only complaint, and its a small one, is the lights are brighter and more distracting than necessary.

What's great about it: Dual-band with great range, admin abilities
What's not so great: Cost is high for n/g band
Was looking for a router for a very large 2 bdrm apartment and wasn't quite ready to jump into an AC router. This router has the performance and capability to provide flawless streaming HD on multiple devices, with incredible range. The administrator abilities made it easy to protect my LAN and devices. A little pricey, but fantastic performance.

Can you control the center speaker volume to turn up the dialog only?

We want to be able to hear the dialog above the sound effects and music.
There is the ability to adjust the center volume, which would likely achieve the effect you are looking for.

Does the structure of these headphones bend?

I have really small ears and therefore have problems finding headphone like this that will actually stay on my ears. Can I bend these so they will stay on without breaking?
The band that wraps out of the ear is made of a very flexible yet sturdy plastic that is very grippy and can be slid in a way that decreases the size of the opening. They don't bend and then stay into a shape per se, but I think they would work well for someone with smaller ears.
