What's great about it: Explosive action with a real storyline
What's not so great: Nothing
People who said there are not enough joker extras, I hope you know and understand WHY.. A lot of those extras are made after filming.

What's great about it: price
What's not so great: quality
Ok, someone commented about it mixing stations, I dont know if you can really blame that on this. That person lived in orange country cali, where the stations are close and in high numbers.
Anyway, this dynex one does the job but it doesnt sound as good as my old belkin, I will be returning it and forking out some more dough for a different one.
The price was great, and most people probably wouldn't even notice the quality,it depends on the car speakers and car stereo/radio quality.

What's great about it: Sounds great
What's not so great: Careful, this may not be for you!
A lot of people do not understand that mics need to be preamped, if you use a converter to turn it into a headphone jack, it wont work with a computer mic input. You need a mixer with phantom power or a PA etc... With that said, this mic is a great value. Its sturdy, sensitive yet can take overpowering noise without distorting. I haven't gotten to compare this to the other samson mics, but I would say this line could easily be used professionally. If you want to use this on a computer, consider the M-audio products with USB output that Best Buy sells.

What's great about it: Handy for real drumset
What's not so great: none
I dont understand why this is on here, but I have a real drumset, so with a purpose this is a great bag to keep it all organized. I dont think people have multiple sets of sticks for rockband, but you never know! Its very durable, and will last for many years to come.

What's great about it: Powerful at grabbing grease and dust/dirt particles
What's not so great: Left a smear on one screen
This product has worked beautifully on my laptop, desktop screen and TV. It has failed me once, on a friends older laptop without that gloss coating. After cleaning I could not get a streak free shine no matter how much a buffed it. It looked worse than before!! I had to take a tissue afterwards to get it clean. otherwise, the cloth it comes with feels soft, yet when rubbed against the skin it grips and grabs! Its highly effective at grabbing stuck on dirt so you dont have to use your fingernails. Only complaint about this package is it doesn't come with something small to clean the corners of a screen.

What's great about it: ITs great that they released this!
What's not so great: Price?
Im just glad they decided to release some of the songs for the PS2 owners out there. The price is reasonable considering there is no other way for us to get new content. It will definitly help hold me over till rock band 2 comes out.

What's great about it: Sound
What's not so great: cannot take advertised wattage
I think it might be that I have an old receiver, but I cannot turn it up past 30% on a 100watt system. The woofers move easily and a lot, but this set will shake your walls and made a picture fall off the wall in my home. Normal bass, these are great at, too low and they wont respond as well. their BIGGEST weakness is actually the lack of treble. I replaced a set of philips speakers with these and I miss the highs that dont exist on the sony pair. If you want a full range of sound look elsewhere, or buy a second set to go with these.

This guy I can tell is underpowered for the software it runs. It does what it needs to, it just isnt the smoothest out there. Garmins are much harder to update than the Tom Toms, but Garmin has much better tech support.

 Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Nintendo Wii
Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Nintendo Wii
They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.
 
Finally!

Plenty of great maps and characters. They did a great job of not ruining the controls. This game will surely be on the top for this system.

The same superiority of design and manufacture goes into all of the Canon-branded consumable imaging supplies and parts for this equipment. Naturally, no one makes better parts and supplies for Canon products than Canon. Using genuine Canon parts and supplies is your best insurance against equipment damage, and possibly voiding your equipment warranty.

What's great about it: Quality
What's not so great: Price per ink
THis is the stock cartridge in the IP1800, however even though it says high yield, this is the half cartridge.
The 41 is the full size which costs only a few collars more for much more ink. I got about 10 photos worth on my 31 but my 41 in my ip1800 has done well over 15 and is still half full.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

does the player have restricted volume

is the volume set at a restricted level? i know some players only go up to 30 on the volume setting.
Reset the device and choose United states instead of UK. If you set the device to the UK and a few other countries, there is a law requiring a limit on the volume.

Do you provide insurance for laptops bought from Best Buy?

I bought a laptop from Bestbuy in Lufkin, Texas last week, and realized I will need some kind of insurance. I live in a retirement center with management that I don't trust. On assistant I believe has been stealing small items and cleaning supplies from me, and I need to know what to do to protect her from stealing my laptop. Thank you, Fran
Best buy's Black Tie Protection plans do not cover theft, however tooks such as Lojack may be helpful for you. Also, sometimes the dredit card company used for purchase can offer theft protection.

What's the difference sound system between dv7-4190us and dv7-4290us?

I have two loptops from HP; dv7-4290us and dv7-4190us.
The problem is dv7-4290us's sound system is worse than 4190us's one when I compared them even though dv7-4290 is more decent product.
is that a common? any difference sound system between those two laptops?
this is a common occurance because some laptops have a focus on looks vs. funcionality - in this case it is likely the speakers had to be shrunken down in size to fit the laptop casing and thus produce a low quality sound.

What happened to the Dell Inspiron that was sold on the Cyber Monday deals for 399?

I would like to know what model this laptop was.
Black friday/Cyber Monday specials are commonly special editions sent to the stores to sell for only a single sale event. It is very likely that the model was discontinued the day after Cyber Monday. Once sold, that is it, no more will be available. There are similar deals every week however, so keep your eyes to the weekly AD and you should be able to spot a dual core laptop with 3GB of memory for $400.

how to change battery on sony PCG-FRV25- laptop

battery looks bigger than access panels.
You may have ended up with an extended capacity battery for the laptop. They commonly stick out of the bottom a little but, but provide nearly 2x the battery life. If it really doesnt look like it will fit, you may not have the correct battery for the laptop. It would probably be best to have the geeksquad look in case; it shouldn't cost anything. Then you will know for sure that it is the right battery - without seeing it I cannot tell you how to replace it since it is very different on every laptop.

How much is a laptop wth USB port for a firewire?

"How much is a laptop wth USB port for a firewire?"
I think you may want to re-ask this question and be more specific. There is no such thing as a "USB port for Firewire", every laptop has USB ports today, however only a few have firewire ports, and honestly the best way to find out is to go into the store and look on the sides of each laptop. It shouldnt cost any more or less, it will just be random which companies put them on.

Good laptop or No

is the Compaq Presario laptop good for 299.99 or bad
That laptop has a very slow single core processor (like going back in time to 2004). It will work for typing things, and the most basic of web browsing such as checking email, but even most modern websites will make the laptop stutter and lag. Youtube for example, barely runs in standard definition, and in HD, videos look like a slideshow. If at all possible, spend the extra $50-80 and get a dual core laptop. That extra $50-80 will probably get you another 2 years of use compared to the likely 2 years the $300 laptops look to last.
