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!

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.

Can the Subwoofer be connected to AV Receiver Subwoofer preamp out?

It is not meant to be used this way, but technically if you had a RCA to 3.5mm adapter you could. It is a standalone system not meant for this though but it wouldnt hard it. This subwoofer is very easily strained so for the price you could find a better powered subwoofer instead of using this set in a way it isnt meant to be used.

Would it be possible to use this sound system to connect to an mp3 player to create my own little bedside stereo system if I wanted to?

yes, just plug its 3.5mm jack into your phone/mp3 player, it would do a great job for most bedrooms. You could spend more and get a system with bluetooth so you could have a wireless connection, but bluetooth degrades the sound quality a bit.

Yeah, it has a little plastic piece that will increase the thickness to fit a 2.5" laptop. On some laptops you dont even need the plastic.

At this point your hard drive is most likely defective, but without running a hardware test it could be anything from bad memory to a defective logic board.

Are the netnooks good if you are a student?

They are great for note taking in class becaus eof their size and battery life, but typing an essay on the small keyboard is a pain. They are meant to be secondary computers, and if that is how it is used it is great for students.

repairable?

i have a problem with my olympus stylus 820 .the images output it captures were black and white, hazy, blurry and with black background and the images can't be defined.we don't have an olympus service center nearby and i am reluctant to have it fixed by local digicam repairmen for reasons that some may be fraud.i have a friend who told me that it could be the sensor thing.if it is true, is it repairable or replaceable?my husband docks in baltimore.does best buy stores have it?

I have seen cameras with the description you gave sent out to precisicon camera (Best Buy camera service center on the east coast) and come back repaired rather than junked out for replacement. It likely is fixable as long as it wasnt water damage.

What is the best compact camera for people who blink a lot during pictures?

What is the best compact camera for people who blink a lot during pictures? I have Cerebral Palsy and I seem to blink whenever it flashes. I need the camera to fit in a purse/pocket, to take good quality pictures, and I post a lot of them online and take a lot of pictures at concerts with stage lighting. I have bought and tried a Fujifilm FinePix A900 camera and a Nikon S220 camera. I always blink when I use the Fujifilm FinePix A900 camera and the Nikon S220 camera takes bad pictures.
A lot of cameras have various flash settings. Most of the time turning on a red eye only flash (option on panasonic cameras) will only show one flash exactly when the picture is taken so you will blink right after,

Is the battery replaceable?

I have been told that when the rechargeable battery wears out, it cannot be replaced, so you have to buy a new unit. Can someone confirm this please.
This is true, and the best way to avoid this is purchasing a warranty on the unit so it can be replaced if this occurs.
