3D glasses on a budget

Verified Purchase:Yes
These glasses work just fine for the few 3D movies I own. They fit great over my regular glasses and are comfortable. For the price, I am very pleased and they won't bust your budget when having to buy a few for family movie night. Time to throw away those others you stole from the theatre lol

4K up scaling 3D blu ray
on October 26, 2015
Posted by: newtechreview
from Colorado Springs, CO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought a 4K, 3D tv and needed to upgrade my player as well. It does the job quite well but I have just one beef with it...the size. I know that tech is getting smaller with each new generation but this just seems a little too much. It looks out of place amongst all my other components. 10 inches wide and an inch and a half tall. It is also feather light. All of this is all just personal preference and does not detract from it being a great blu ray player

On the well-worn path made smooth by the mainstream, the human species plods mindlessly, pursuing happiness. Except, that is, for a certain few — the divergent, the complex, the Dark Souls. Mesmerized by the macabre, transfixed by torment, these souls seek completion in hopelessness, despair and impending doom — where true fortitude is earned. There is a place where suffering, misery and challenge reign, where only the iron-willed and the cunning survive. You made the journey once before. Now, descend once again into the depths of devastation in Dark Souls II.The horrific saga marches forward, forging a new, warped path in the action RPG Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. Prepare to die all over again in the latest Dark Souls installment with new challenges and rewards that await you. All 3 DLC Pack contents are included — Crown of the Sunken King, Crown of the Old Iron King and Crown of the Ivory King — plus additional NPCs are added, so you can delve into an improved story experience with augmentations, additions and enhancements. Parameter setting adjustments help you achieve improved balance, and upgrades to graphics and sound lend a more realistic atmosphere to the game. An increase in the number of maximum online players makes it simple to compete against your friends. Look deep within yourself — do you have the courage to stare death in the eye?

We all know the classic tale — the big, bad wolf will huff, puff and blow your house down. But what if there's much more to the dangerous and fantastic characters of fairytales than you ever gleaned from the pages of your favorite stories? In Fabletown, the denizens of legends and long-told tales live in tenuous harmony. Deputy Mayor Ichabod Crane pulls the political strings from behind his desk at city hall, aided in his tireless tasks by Miss Snow White of poisoned apple fame. Romantic drama rages in the complex relationship between Beauty and her Beast. A stop at the town library reveals an inebriated flying monkey fresh from the land of Oz swooping between the stacks. Holding it all together is Sheriff Bigby Wolf, fearsome villain of myth turned protector of the inhabitants of Fabletown. Maintaining the peace is a large enough job, but Bigby's days are further complicated by run-ins with two old foes, Colin the Pig, last survivor of three porcine comrades, and the meddling Woodsman. And of course, there's always Bigby's greatest struggle — earning the respect and trust of his neighbors and containing the beast within.Get ready to see familiar and beloved characters in a whole new light in The Wolf Among Us. Enter the violent and intriguing world of Bill Willingham's Eisner Award-winning Fables comics in five action-packed episodes that precede the events of the series' first installment. Walk in the shoes of Sheriff Bigby Wolf, one-time villain now tasked with safeguarding the residents of Fabletown. Get to know the familiar characters of your favorite tales in a dark, dangerous world. Become the kind of character you wish to be, but beware — each choice you make, as well as the time at which you make it, holds specific consequences. Will they all live happily ever after? The answer lays in your hands.

A twisted fairy tale
on September 11, 2015
Posted by: newtechreview
from Colorado Springs, CO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I enjoyed The Walking Dead game by Tell Tale so I figured I would try this out, since it is only $20. What I found was a gritty take on what it would be like if children's story characters made it to the big city and had to police there own. Far from a kids game, I enjoyed the narrative and the voice acting is top notch. Pick this title up and never think of the old fairy tales the same way again!

Although I don't usually recommend buying a re release of a game, Gears of War Ultimate packs just enough content into it to make this an exception to my rule. With updated graphics "1080p" and 60 fps"multiplayer" along wth all the map packs ever made, it just might be worth picking up.

Replace your old coaxial cable because...it's old

Technology has not come so far on a coaxial cable to give you outstanding performance over the ones you had 15 years ago, but you might as well just replace it anyways. They don't cost very much and I sleep better at night lol.

Should I get the more expensive cable?
on August 8, 2015
Posted by: newtechreview
from Colorado Springs, CO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I just spent a couple grand on a new 4k TV and the salesperson told me I might as well buy the expensive monster cables to go with it. I got these instead. 1 month later I went back and purchased the $60 cables and, apart from a better quality cable, I didn't notice much of a difference in sound or picture quality. If you have the extra money, buy monster, but these cables will do just fine

Is it worth the money?

Posted by: newtechreview
from Colorado Springs, CO
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was told by the salesman that since I'm spending a couple of grand on a 4k TV I might as well buy these cables. Instead I went with the mid priced cables. 1 month later I went back and bought these. Although the quality of these cables are certainly higher than the cheaper ones, I didn't notice any major differences. If you have the money, why not. Other than that, you will be fine purchasing the less expensive hdmi cable

As far as the movie goes, it's alright. A cash grab for sure. One book that's stretched out to make 3 movies. If you can wait, the delux, definitive, all extras version will come out soon, followed by the limited edition box set of the trilogy, followed by the limited edition, 6 movie ultra collection...you get my point

The battery life on the PS4 controller is atrocious. The charge cable that comes with the console forces me to, if I want to play and charge, sit a couple feet away from my system. Lame. But thanks to the insignia usb plug and play cord, I can sit up to 10 feet away and destroy noobs. Seriously, buy it already :)

which is better, new vs. refurbished?
If possible, always buy new instead of a refurbished unit. The savings are not that great when comparing the two. Besides you never know what kind of life the merchandise had before you bought it and who doesn't like that fresh out of the box smell lol :)
