For a tv to be used as an inexpensive Roku setup for customers to view while in the waiting area, this is great. Got it during the holiday sales. Couldn't be more pleased. Good job Best Buy.

For its intended purpose as a "extra" tv, this is perfect. It has a slick design and great picture. My use for this one is to serve as and extra tv to be used in a garage while working on projects. Best Buy's brand has come a long way. Need a good tv for "extra" activities or don't want to spend a lot on a good tv, get this?

Can't speak on the official remote for Xbox One, however if it is to control the Xbox, then this controller does that. The feel of it is pretty slick. The issue with any of the IR remotes is line of sight. Therefore that's the only drawback I have. In other words, I wish Microsoft had Bluetooth remotes and that this one was. Good to have if you are not playing games and only wish to navigate the OS as if the Xbox were a standalone streaming device. Worth it in my opinion.

I purchased two of these. Originally wanted the Panasonic sound bars, but they were discontinued the day of purchase. These were great substitutes. Sound is big and clear for the spaces installed in. One in my garages media room and the other in my bedroom. Cool boxes, by the way.

There are many kinds of gamers in the world, but you're one of the serious competitors. You play for hours at a time, and during those intense sessions you need to know that your console and controllers are delivering peak performance when you need it most. There's no worse time to discover that your controller is out of juice or that your console needs a cool-down break than when you're about to fire the critical shot, sink a game-winning basket or cut down one last foe. You're always ready for battle — make sure your gaming gear is as well with this Modular Power Cooling Pack.Ensure that you're always ready to play with help from this Modular Power Cooling Pack, which includes a charger for DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controllers and an intercooler that promotes cool operation. Simply clip both devices to your console for quick and easy installation. Charge up to two controllers simultaneously with two retractable micro USB cables that deliver rapid power replenishment. Keep your gear neat and clean with a hidden brush with detail lip. Beat the heat with the intercooler, which pushes warm air away from your console to help reduce ambient air temperatures. There's no need to worry about turning the intercooler on at the right time — power pass-through technology automatically starts cooling when your console is turned on. Integration with your existing gaming setup is simple thanks to an elegant, complementary design and selectable vertical or horizontal orientation to suit your needs.

This is better than I was expecting. It comes with a cooling fan attachment that I wouldn't really recommend using. It's loud. The front of the charger station lights up orange while charging; turns off when done. Very slick.

Great streamer

I use this primarily for the GO apps (HBO, SHOWTIME, FOX, etc.) and Netflix. I also use it for streaming iTunes content from my media computer; seamless. The AirPlay feature works excellent for when you want to project content from your iOS device to your TV (pictures, YouTube, etc). The mirroring feature is great if you want to display the screen of your iOS device to the TV as well.
My only disappointment is the layout of Netflix. Apple decided to use their layout to be consistent with the other apps. This is one area where the Roku shines (I have this one also). Other than that, I enjoy the simplicity from this device. If you are already an Apple-Holic or Fanboy then you don't need a reason to buy this. Just give them your money. If you aren't either of the aforementioned, know that this is a solid product.

All it takes is the swipe of a finger. We connect with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and gear. We find out what's happening in the world. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an increasingly expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it's not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.In Watch Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (CTOS) — and it controls almost every piece of the city's technology and holds key information on all of the city's residents. You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to the city's network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy... and more.

Great game! Very Immersive.

I purchased a Playstation 4 at launch just for this game. I had to wait, of course as it was delayed. I can say after a while of waiting, it was worth it. Graphics are top notch for a 1st generation game. It initially loads for about 48 seconds. Thereafter, everything is real time. Video games have definitely come a long way. I found myself completing most of the side missions and skipping the campaign altogether for a while. They are very creative and entertaining. Who would of thought a side mission would be something that you would actually want to play; let alone enjoy. The only downside (for me) is it will definitely consume all of your time. Discipline is a must. I don't normally play games, but when I do, I play Watch Dogs. Stay entertained my friends.

For $29, a $5 coupon, and Keifer Sutherland as Big Boss, I had to give it a go. Immediately loved the game and didn't stop playing it until I completed the main prologue. I don't even play games, as I think them to be great time wasters. After playing this game, I am indeed a hypocrite. Only this time it was well worth my time. There's even more to do albeit the main part is over too soon. Completing the game 100% should keep all the fanboys held over until "The Phantom Pain". Go get it!

Great Replacement HDD

Posted by: MartinPrince
from Houston, TX
I purchased this HDD to replace a failing 320GB 5400 RPM HDD for business purposes. I cloned the original (so as not to start completely over). It is working flawlessly right now. Time of course will tell. I normally run Windows Defragmentation every week to keep the drive as fresh as possible. I have personally not had many issues with this brand as I build and repair computers all the time.

I have an older Sanyo 42" flat screen how do I attach the cable box and DVD player?

If your Sanyo has an optical connection, then you can use this Soundbar. If you are asking how to connect these devices apart from this Soundbar, then more details would be needed.

Will this hard drive work for me.

I have an ASUS Model K52F, it is only less than 3 years old. But the hard drive I believe is damaged. If this product does not work, what can you recommend. Thanks
This drive will work. You can clone your existing hard drive to this drive with reputable hard drive cloning software. This is recommended of course, if you do not wish to lose your information and Windows installation on your failing/damaged hard drive.
