Set this up in my bedroom. It blew cold air. The only thing was that it made a screeching sound that went with the speed of the fan. On low it seemed loudest, and on high not as loud but at night the high fan setting was too loud. So I returned it after a few days. I did not buy another. I will when it's on sale again.
Otherwise i would have kept it if it wasn't for the noise. I'm sure it was just the one I got and not something common that happens to all of these units.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The game is pretty good overall. Sounds great,plays well, and looks pretty good for the most part. It doesn't look bad. I guess I just expected it to look a little better. If you're interested in buying the game. I would consider the difficulty in it before deciding. It could be the difference in really enjoying the game and buying it trying it for a bit and the game beats you into just leaving it out away not to be played. I have seen a lot of videos of people using a steering wheel setup for this game. It seems to be the best way to play this. I hope this has helped one way or the other.

Got the game while on sale, and used 5 or 10 dollars of rewards certificates. So it didn't cost me that much. To my surprise it's actually really good. The gameplay is fast, and responsive. The music fits it's atmosphere. The sound effects are great. And the graphics are about as good as it gets right now. And to top it off it is fun.

Got one more year of XBL while it was on sale. It doesn't hurt to add another year of the membership. No need to wait till the last minute, and pay full price.

Definitely a great service. They have been giving two games for each of their systems for a while now. So that could be up to 6 free games a month. The only catch is that they are yours as long as you are subscribed to the service. Meaning, if you stop paying or renewing your yearly PSN membership all the games that you got thru that program are not accessible to you, till you renew it. Unlike Xbox Live that once you get the game it is forever yours. If you stop the XBL service you have access to those games. Otherwise PS plus is a necessity for any PS4 owner. Bought at $40. About as low as it gets. Goes on sale fairly frequently for the months after, and before Christmas. My advice is get one or a couple of them when on sale.

Very well, thought out , pretty balanced game. Made for total co-op style gameplay. But if your going at it alone without a party crew it's still great.
Great art style. So it looks amazing. Great sound effects. Minus not hearing an enemy behind you. Hit detection is pretty good over all. A couple of characters need to be buffed or nerfed for better balance (mainly bastion needs to be nerfed big time in his turret mode in my opinion). But for the most part this is a great game that at launch is a little weak on modes but I believe will flourish to a better experience in the coming months. But now or buy when on sale. Just get it and you will enjoy it. This is not COD.

I think this game could have been much more than what it is. Good developer. The game looks and feels like it needed at least six months to maybe a year more of development. It's not that bad tho. Wait till you can get it for much less. It's going to the bargain bin really fast.

Can't say too much for not spoil the game. But the single player is fantastic.
The multiplayer has gotten much better. I've actually stopped playing the single player portion, and have been playing only the multiplayer part. Incredible in every aspect. Graphics, sound, music, and gameplay. A must buy for anyone familiar or new to Uncharted.

This was not a game I was planning on getting. I was interested in it. But there was at the time other games that I wanted and bought. So I got it as a deal of the day. Took it home. Started playing it,and it looks really good,sounds really good. The atmosphere of the game world is great. The game plays like the other recent far cry games. The thing with this one is that it's much harder because of the primitive weapons. There's also a lot more wild life. Lots more predators. So be aware always. There's a lot to do, and a lot of collectables to find. I think a lot more than the other games. So pretty much the game for was a very good purchase at the price of the deal of the day.

The game looks and sounds great. The gameplay = cover movement, shooting could use a bit of tightning. My two main complaints for the single player portion are the enemy a.i are not very good. They do move around. But they also do that charge rush attack that feels pretty cheap. You'll see what I mean about that if you get it. The other is the more of a warning than a complaint. The PvP. The multiplayer portion is very difficult. And the people online all got exotic weapons very quickly. You'll be very lucky to get into a room that has people working together and not just running around being jerks and killing you quickly with their super exotic weapons. Best advice. Play multi with at least one other friend. Best is a full 4 man crew.

Far Cry comes to America in the latest installment of the award-winning franchise.Hope County, Montana, has been overrun by a fanatical doomsday cult – The Project at Eden’s Gate. Upon your arrival, you must spark the fires of resistance to liberate the community.
 

Why is your gold edition of far cry 5, 10 dollars more than anywhere else I have looked for it

I noticed that as well. That it's $89.99. I figure it's because it's the digital edition. The physical copy seems to make it cost more.

does best buy sell a preowned copy of this game and if so how much are they?

The thing is that not all stores carry used games for sale. I bought this game on sale. So it was actually cheaper to buy it new. So I recommend buying it on sale.

How do I find out what stores will have midnight release? And could I have someone else pick it up for me?

I usually just google the question: insert game name Best Buy midnight release. Then usually one of the top results is an actual Best Buy website link directly to that section of their site.

My store is releasing Mario odyssey at 9pm. What time should I arrive to be early for pick up when it released?

At least 30 minutes earlier for those type of release events. The bigger the game, the earlier you should go. So this game, maybe like at least 45 minutes early.

The way it saves energy is, that once it reaches the temperature for a few minutes that you set. It will go into standby mode. In other words it shuts off. Then when it gets a few degrees hotter than your setting it will turn back on.

It will leak water from a drain hole towards the bottom rear of the unit. The water helps the ac cool more efficiently. When not in use the elements help evaporate the leftover water.

Was I the only one that did not receive the pirate sigil coin when pre-ordering a copy of this? It was advertised on tv and it was on their website as part of the pre-order bonuses.

The store I got mine from only received about 10 coins (or so the guy said),on top of that he initially did not intend to give me the coin. I had to ask him then it was a fiasco asking several other employees about if he can give it to me. I had this game preordered as well. I did get it tho.

I remembered this game was advertise with a 10 dollar pre order in certificates months ago, for people that pre ordered the game at that time do they receive the reward certificate?

This game was not a part of the "victory can be preorder" program. I don't know why. It's one of the biggest games of this year. It seems to me that Best Buy is cutting back on the amount of titles it is including in the program. Compared to the last couple of years.
