 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.
 
Not the console you want, but the one you need

What's great about it: PSN redesign, ease of use, great games, great controller
What's not so great: No more free online multiplayer, no HBO Go
PS4 or XboxONE? Everything is so very similar. A lot of games are on both consoles. Really comes down to what you are looking for with the operating system and exclusive titles. The only thing that the XBoxONE has that the PS4 does not at the time of this review is HBO Go. If PS4 gets that, it will be a no brainer.

What's great about it: multiple networking options, very similar
What's not so great: a little tough to get set up at first
I hate giving the cable company more than what I have to. We currently have a TiVo Roamio Plus in the living room and wanted to be able to watch something in the bedroom. We tried Apple TV and Sling Box before buying this.
I highly recommend buying this and buying the lifetime subscription ($150 I believe). It works flawlessly as an extension of the Roamio we have, but also serves as it's own box too. We can watch separate things, live tv on both even on different channels, and can access everything that is recorded on the Roamio.

What's great about it: 3D from 2D, great picture
What's not so great: Seems smaller than what it actually is, not enough HDMI hook ups
I bought this TV to replace my 40" Samsung that had 1 HDMI input. I was getting annoyed that we would have to switch between the TiVo, Xbox360, and blu ray player.
This TV helped a little bit once we put the Xbox 360 on component hook ups. However, we had an issue with one of the HDMI hook ups having issue with the sound. We ended up having to plug in what we wanted to do on the only functioning HDMI port anyways.
Returned TV for something different.
Another thing that annoyed me was that the screen seemed much smaller than it was. Not a fan.
This product has... Easy to set up, Great value and features for the price

What's great about it: Nice big screen that doesn't feel too big, easy to hide adware already on phone
What's not so great: Wish bigger battery was easy to find that won't add bulk, still doesn't have current OS
i came from the iPhone 5S. This Note 3 seemed big at first, but after using it for a couple of weeks, it does not seem as big. When I hold my wife's iPhone 5, it seems very small. It was easy to switch everything from Apple's environment (music, iCal, contacts) over to the Note 3.
Some things that I have noticed that could be better:
- The current version of Android is 4.4, which has not been released at the time of this writing. The Note 3 has 4.3.
- I'm not a fan of micro usb. It would be nice if there was a universal charger so that it didn't matter how the charger was put in.
- Battery life. It is always something that can be improved. This battery is much bigger than the iPhone 5S, yet I get roughly around the same use time between the two.
Some things that I enjoy:
- I like that there are other places to get apps. There is the Google Play Store and Amazon Appstore.
- This screen is stunning.
- This phone fits what was perfect for me. I had been the iPhone, iPad, MacBook guy, but I would only use 2 out of the 3 (iPhone and MacBook) consistently. This phone combines the phone and tablet beautifully.
- The S Pen is more of a novelty for me. I can see the benefit for a lot of people. For now, I just draw funny things on pictures of my pets and send them to my wife.
I am excited to see the next implementation with other devices (Galaxy Gear). I would currently not buy the watch until it involves navigation.
This product is... Replaced my MP3 player, Easy navigation, Replaced my camera, Good video quality
About me... My phone is my life, Heavy apps user, Need phone to keep me organized

We used my wife's microwave from college. When I would cook popcorn in it, it always burned unless I watched it and manually adjusted the bag from being caught it also took 6 minutes per bag.
With this new microwave, popcorn is cooked fully, takes about 2 minutes, and I don't have to babysit it.
This product is or has... Shortcut keys that save time, Sensor cooking that works well, A turntable that cooks evenly, The power to cook quickly, Acceptable level of noise, Easy to use controls, Big enough to handle large items, easy to install

What's great about it: Easy to use and set up, built in mic
What's not so great: Cost
I have only ever had the earbuds that come with my iPhone. I will be traveling frequently and wanted something better. Noise canceling would have been great, but I did not see any with a built in mic. I also am annoyed by wires, which is why I wanted Bluetooth as well.
The sound quality is very good and can be improved by using supplied cable to connecting directly from headphones to device.
I have had no issues with battery and they are very comfortable. I highly recommend.

ATT NOTE 3 question

Hello, I want to know AT & T NOTE 3 languages can choose Chinese. Thank you. .
Possibly. In the "Language" portion under "Settings" there is text that could be Chinese, but I can't confirm that it is not Japanese or Korean.

There are other languages that can be downloaded. Also, the phone has quite a lot of languages for keyboards that can be downloaded as well.

Is the Galaxy Note 3 GSM Compatible?

I want to purchase an UNLOCKED Galaxy Note 3 Phone/Tablet.
Which model numbers are GSM compatible?
And can I put in a different chip for use in Europe?
It is. The ones that are GSM compatible are the 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900. As long as the phone is capable, which it is, the rest would be on the carrier itself. More importantly, make sure you have proper documentation to get service set up if you will be in a different country.
