My childhood all over again

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was honestly shocked by how fantastic this little device was. Build quality is solid, and the software is top notch. The best part is the console is easily hacked to add hundreds more games besides the 30 or so it ships with. This is an amazing little device and the only downside is the way Nintendo quickly cancelled it despite wild interest from gamers.

Great phone for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
Don't expect flagship-level performance and you'll be very happy with this phone. The screen is good resolution and the camera is adequate for taking photos in good lighting. Apps launch and run normally with no noticeable lag, and call quality was on par with more expensive models. Perfect for younger users or as a backup phone, or for older users who don't need the latest and greatest. Battery life is also good if not stellar, but the fact that the battery is removable compensates for this in my book. My only complaint is the flimsy plasticky feel of the phone itself, but I won't knock if for that as this is common with phones in this price range.

It's an iPhone
on December 30, 2015
Posted by: Johnny907
from Alaska
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pretty much what you would expect from an iPhone. A sizable improvement over the 5s (in screen size if nothing else) and a no brainer for anyone that needs an upgrade or even a new purchase, but doesn't want to shell out full price for the newer S line. Camera, screen resolution and app speed are all top notch, and the only thing that really separates last year's model from the new version is less RAM, which means certain webpages will take longer to load, and may have to reload more if you're switching between multiple pages. Other than that, there's really no discernible difference. 3D force touch is a gimmick that most users forget about five minutes after trying it, same with "live photos" and most of the new features of the S line, as I say this as an owner of the 6S. Despite the hype, camera performance between the 6 and 6S is practically identical, with the 6 actually performing better in low light shots. The shutter speed of the 6S is slightly improved, but not enough for most to notice. All in all, the 6 is a solid buy, especially at reduced prices.

Jumbled story but a great stealth game

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're a fan of the metal gear series, this purchase is a no brainer. I enjoyed the game play much more than the previous installment, but like other reviewers have pointed out, the story pretty much falls off the rails towards the end, and the climax is pretty anti-climactic. That really doesn't matter though, because there is so much packed into the game itself that you'll be too busy calling in supply drops onto enemy heads to care much about the story anyway.

Good headphones for the price
on December 30, 2015
Posted by: Johnny907

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you pick up these headphones, more than likely you are doing so for fashion reasons over function. That said, these are solid headphones with the usual Sony-emphasis on bass. Connections are tight, and plug doesn't feel flimsy at all. Keep in mind the inline mic and remote is very basic, and does not control volume or track select for whichever device it is plugged into. The best you're going to get is play/stop, answer/hangup call depending on what you're doing with your device. Mic fidelity is average but acceptable for this price range, about what you would expect. For a cheap pair of workout gear, or something for young children, these will work just fine.

Verify that this will work with your heater first
on November 24, 2015
Posted by: Johnny907

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm sure this product is awesome judging by the other reviews. The packaging and build quality of the unit were all top notch, and the instructions were concise and well laid out. Ultimately, however, none of this did me any good as this unit is not compatible with my particular lennox furnace because of the way the thermostat interacts with a secondary control module attached to the furnace. I would have had to run an entire new set of wires through the wall and floor between the two to make it work, which just wasn't feasible for me. Ecobee has a great tool on their website to ensure compatibility with your setup, so be sure to visit that first before you buy. Thankfully, BB has a great return policy so I got my money back, minus the time and gas spent traveling to and from the store, and the couple of hours I wasted trying to get the thing to work with my incompatible furnace.

Awesome system with a distinctive look
on November 24, 2015
Posted by: Johnny907

Verified Purchase:Yes
For some reason, I'm just never happy with stock consoles. Every console I've ever owned has been a collectors or special edition, so when shopping for a PS4, there was no reason to change this trend. While I almost went with the Star Wars edition, the distinctive white and gold of this model had an appealing look that I liked. That, plus I didn't want to wait an additional month for the SW model to be released. Besides the fancy paint job and white plastic, this is just a second gen stock PS4 like all the others you can buy right now. As such, it's quieter and more energy efficient than the launch version, but the formerly capacitive touch power and eject buttons have been replaced with regular mechanical push buttons. Not a huge downgrade, but one I noticed and kind of frowned at. I believe they changed because people preferred the tactile click response of the mechanical buttons versus the touch buttons, plus they tend to be more reliable. It does take away from the coolness factor slightly, though. While it is 50 dollars more than the other bundles out there, the fact that it comes with 79 dollars worth of Destiny game, DLC packs and special options make it a good value. Ultimately, you'll either buy it or not buy it based on looks.

No frills, affordable solution.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Picked this up to solve the problem of constantly having to swap out cables and usb drives on my iMac. It's not as pretty as the silver metal model offered by Belkin, but it also costs half as much. Since ultimately the thing is going to be sitting behind my computer, permanently plugged into my two external drives, a printer and a UPS backup, I didn't really care what it looked like as long as it works. That's not to say it's ugly, it's just a black block of plastic about the size of a deck of cards, with a bright blue LED light on the top when it's plugged into a power source. And that sucker is BRIGHT! it could have served as a nightlight, frankly. I ended up sticking some electrical tape over it since my computer is in my guest room and I was worried about keeping my guests up all night with the glare. All in all, solid purchase.

Pricey but nice looks and solid build
on November 24, 2015
Posted by: Johnny907
Verified Purchase:Yes
With so many cheap and expensive cables on the market, it's hard to decide on which one to buy these days. Platinum has made some nice cases in the past, so I took a chance with their solution. The cord is a good length, especially if being used with a wall charger, and the cord itself is well assembled with an attractive fabric wrap. The lightning plug end is a bit thicker than Apple's own, so it may not fit in some cases with smaller openings, but it is much smaller than plugs from Belkin or iJoy. All and all, I'm satisfied so far.

Expensive for a reason
on November 24, 2015
Posted by: Johnny907
Verified Purchase:Yes
Unlike the dime a dozen chargers you can pickup in the checkout line of the grocery store or gas station, these chargers won't die in a matter of weeks/months. You're no longer saving money if you have to continually buy the cheaper plugs over and over again because they keep dying. Apple's solutions are always more expensive, but it's better to pay for quality that lasts and won't short out, killing whatever it's plugged into.

can this be used to hook up 4 xbox 360's for a LAN party.
No, that would require a four port Lan switch or router, as that is how Xboxes connect to networks and other xboxes: through the lan port on back.

If I plug a 2.0 device into one of the ports (and connect to a 3.0 port on laptop), will the other ports still be able to run at 3.0 speed?
Yes. The built in USB bus has separates each port onto its own channel, so plugging in a legacy 2.0 device will not hurt the transfer speeds of other 3.0 devices also plugged into the hub.
