PlayStation Hits Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
Experience one of the most revered game series of all time as you follow the perilous journey of Nathan Drake across the globe, from humble beginnings to extraordinary discoveries.
Incredible game series

I played the first three uncharted on the PlayStation three and they quickly became some of my favorite games of all time. When I saw the remaster for $20 and an additional four dollar discount for my gamers club it was a no-brainer to pick up this package and play it again with the upgraded graphics. If you haven't played these games take this up now you won't be disappointed and if you have completed them already the series is definitely worth the second run through on the PlayStation 4.

I have a 2 year old and countless battery operated devices around the house so I go through batteries like toilet paper. I've always used the 2 big name brands and as we all know they're not cheap even on sale. I figured I'd try these out when I saw them on a one-day sale for $6.99 and now these are all I buy. All the reviews are correct these batteries are awesome and when you can get 48 of them for seven bucks even if they sucked I'd probably still keep buying them. They definitely do not suck however and are a bargain even at full price.

I never finished this game on PS3 so for $16 with my gamers club discount I couldn't pass up a 2nd shot at it. The graphics enhancement for PS4 are excellent.

Rocketfish™ - 12' Subwoofer Cable - Gray
Enjoy exceptional bass audio quality with this subwoofer cable that connects your powered subwoofer to an A/V receiver or amplifier and features 24K gold-plated connectors to prevent corrosion.
Good cable, bit pricey
Customer Rating

Solid sub cable. Does the job well. I love Bestbuy and spend tons of money here but their cable and accessory prices are a little bit ridiculous sometimes. I needed this in a pinch and couldn't wait to mail order it from somewhere else though so I bit the bullet and it works fine powering a Polk PSW 108 from a Pioneer Elite VSX 90 receiver. I highly recommend using a Y cable also to hook to both inputs of your sub if it has them because you seem to get much more bass that way.

I bought this for half price on a 3 hour flash sale that Bestbuy texted me about. (If you're not signed up for Bestbuy email alerts than you're missing out.) Just days after my small Infiniti 8 inch sub took a dump and wouldn't stop buzzing. I got a text alert about certain Polk speakers 50% off for 3 hours so I bit the bullet and picked this up along with a pair of T50 towers and a T30 center channel all for 1/2 off to go in my small home theater/ game room I'm building. Great buy with excellent bass for smaller rooms. Music movies and games all rumble nicely hooked up to my Pioneer Elite VSX90. You're not going to find better bass for less than $400. This thing kicks in my Dolby Atmos 7.1 setup. It powers on and off along with my receiver and has a nice crisp punch unlike the muddy bass you get from many subs in this price range. I'm not exactly an audiophile but I'm no slouch when it comes putting together great sounding home theatre systems on a budget. Thanks again Bestbuy for the flash sale! My wife may not share my enthusiasm though. Lol

I needed a new receiver for my small home theater/game room I'm setting up and didn't want to break the bank like I did for my Yamaha Aventage. I owned Pioneer equipment over 20 years ago and liked their product so when I saw this one on sale I did a little research and picked it up for a great price at $399. I didn't know much about Dolby Atmos but who doesn't like the latest tech right?
This is one of Pioneers entry level elite units but you wouldn't know it by the sound and features. I have it running with Polks new line of T series speakers. T50's for the front T30 center, 2 sets of T15 bookshelf speakers for side and firing up for the Atmos and a small set of polks for the rear surround with a Polk 10 inch sub running in 7.1 Atmos. All for less than &1000. WOW! I like it better for games and movies than my my main system which costs more than twice as much! I'm not using actual Atmos rated speakers but I can absolutely tell a nice difference with the Polk T15's sitting on their back on top of my T50's playing that role. Even without Atmos rated content you get more surround than straight 7.1. I think my favorite thing about the VSX90 though is the 4K up convert feature. The picture on the 6 year old LG LCD tv I hooked it up to never impressed me much until I ran it through the hdmi out on this beauty! HUGE difference in color and clarity vs straight from the directv dvr (the difference is in HD content only though). I Can't wait to actually replace it with a 4K model but with the vastly improved picture I'm satisfied to wait until I find the right deal. If you want a quality home theatre set up you can't go wrong with this unit. 6 HDMI an and 2 out gives plenty of flexibility for games systems, apple tv and the like.

I'm reviewing the Polk Tseries speakers on each product I purchased as well if you'd like to know a little more about each piece individually.

Tons of sound from these babies. I've been slowly replacing older speakers with polks for a few years now and these replaced a set of infinitis I was using for side surround in a 7.1 set up. What a difference! Don't expect $1000 sound out of a pair of $100 bookshelf speakers but nothing comes close to sounding this good in this price range. Honestly can't tell much of a difference between these and my Polk monitor series which cost 4 times as much.

Inexpensive, easy to assemble (about 20 minutes) and looks nice. It's a little on the small side but since I liked the first one so much for $21 I just ordered a 2nd.

I've been playing with the idea of a Harmony hub for a long time. I already have a 650 and an ultimate and when my 650 ended up in the wash with our comforter I decided to bite the bullet and get the smart control. I'm still playing around with it but programming activities wirelessly from you phone is WAY more convenient than plugging your Harmony into a computer to make changes. PS4 control is a great plus and this package gives the addition of a physical remote as well so all in all I'm very pleased so far. There's a bit of initial setup involved but it's very easy if you can follow instructions the app will walk you through all of it. Must buy for those of us that use our game consoles as entertainment hubs as well.

Rocketfish 12ft subwoofer cable
Is this cable a two wire system or three? I have Yamaha RX-v665 receiver and I can not get anything to come through the subwoofer.
I had the same problem with my Yamaha Aventage 830 and my sub. You're going to need to reset the receiver which you can find how to do online and then run the YPAO speaker set up program again. That should take care of the problem if you don't have a faulty subwoofer output on the receiver. You may need to do it more than once as mine didn't begin working again until the third try.

Will this connect wireless to my Vizio sound bar or do I need to use some kind of wire cables like rca wires?
You definitely need a subwoofer cable.

What connections are available?
I have to connect a VHS player, a dual cassette player, a DVD player and possibly an old fashioned LP record player, none of which have HDMI connections. Therefore, I need (or would like) to have enough analog connections to use the Old-Fogey devices with the modern A/V receiver. I cannot tell by looking at the picture of the rear of this receiver how many of these pieces I could connect. Or is there possibly a switch box I can connect once to the receiver and 3 or 4 devices to switch between? Or some sort of conversion gizmo that transitions from the RCA jacks to HDMI? I currently have a Sony 5.2 receiver that, like me, is getting older and not working so well anymore and would like to get a 7.2 before my hearing is totally gone. I do have a HDTV with 3D capabilities and a nice Blu-ray player, so not all is lost. Thank you for any input you can offer.
Unfortunately there is only 1 set of RCA inputs.

while watching a sat dish, and the news, do i have to use this receiver? Or does the hdmi signal get passed through with sound to the TV?
The receiver can be set to pass through signal for the last input it was using when it was turned off.

does this allow for 2 seperate video zones, watching one show in living room and choose to watch the same or different video source in say bedroom
There are 2 zones and 2 hdmi out so I believe the answer to be yes but I haven't personally tried that out.

what specific mounting hardware is needed to mount these to the wall?
Just a screw. These well made little beauties already have notches cut out of the back of the housing like any wall clock would.
