Use this intelligent adapter to connect your iPhone 5 or 5s, iPod touch (5th generation), or iPod nano (7th generation) featuring the Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories. The 0.2m-long cable provides extra length to connect to 30-pin accessories.

Got this for my car that only have the old 30pin but I needed to plug in a newer iPhone. Purchased this and hooked it up. No problems. Play music and anything else through the speakers and allow me to still control my phone from the dashboard of the car. Also chargers the phone.

Game is good but not best in the series
on December 30, 2014
Posted by: slider1578
This game was pretty good but it wasn't the best in the series. The game is alright based on the story line and is pretty good multiplayer wise. It is fun but I feel like it is lacking some depth to it.

Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar Games has yet created and takes full advantage of every ounce of processing power available in the current generation of consoles. In order to provide the best possible experience for such a massive and detailed world, the game will have installation requirements on the Xbox 360. Grand Theft Auto V will ship on two discs; Disc 1 will be used for a one-time mandatory install and Disc 2 will be used to play the game. After the install, players will be able to enjoy both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online without any need to switch discs. This initial install will require an Xbox 360 hard drive or an external 16GB USB flash drive (sold separately) with at least 8GB of free space. If using a USB flash drive, it must be at least USB 2.0 with a minimum 15mb/s read speed and formatted for Xbox 360 use. A new USB flash drive is recommended to ensure optimal performance.

The game is good don't get me wrong but it is slightly repetitive and the graphics are lacking in comparison with other titles. The game does offer a lot of freedom and allows you to do pretty much anything you want, you really can't beat freedom in an open world game play.

This waffle maker features an adjustable temperature control that lets you prepare crispy or light and fluffy waffles. Deep, nonstick plates easily release the waffle when cooking is complete.
Posted by: slider1578
This is amazing, makes perfect waffles every time. We do have to use some best guesstimation to make sure they come out perfect. The timer on the device is fairly accurate though. Also there are some cool life hacks for this such as the omelette, or waffle brownies. Its fun and a well worth purchase. My wife loves Sunday waffles in bed. Has become a weekly tradition in my household.

![The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 3D [Extended Edition] [UltraViolet] [Blu-ray] [3D] [Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D] [2012]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2450/2450018_sa.jpg)

The movie closely follows the book, there are a few deviations and additions not found in the book but I think you'll live with them. Overall the movie is great and speaks well for being a prequel to the Lord of the Rings movie/book.
If ever a movie was made for 3D it was this one. I would recommend this to anyone with a 3D player and TV. This movie is a must have and I would encourage everyone to add it to their collection. The extended edition is much more valuable and worth the extra movie time.

This movie is a great sequel to the original. The special effects are good, the story is great just like the first, and the movie is action packed and keeps you going. There is no boredom to be found in this movie. I recommend it to all the guys looking for a good action movie that actually has some story to it.

Connect your digital audio devices with this cable that sends digital surround sound audio signals through Toslink digital audio (S/PDIF) jacks. Precision-made connectors ensure an ideal fit.
Posted by: slider1578
Recently purchased a new TV that didn't have the right hookups for my surround sound system. I purchased this because both the TV and surround sound system had this hookup. After purchasing and installing this cable I quickly learned that I should have been using this all along. The sound is greatly improved and much more clear.
Pro: The cable is easy to install and requires no other setup. Simple plug and play.
Cons: Wish the plastic cable plugs for the tips were attached so if I move or detach the cable I have something to protect it. The plastic tips are simply removable and not easily stored. Other then that its a tad bit pricey but I think most items from this brand are, still worth the purchase.

Great Mouse But Not Needed on Surface Pro 3
on December 29, 2014
Posted by: slider1578
I purchased this when I bought the Surface Pro 3. I didn't like the idea of having to use the track pad on the keyboard (separate purchase as well, Surface doesn't come with a keyboard), thus I ended up purchasing this before trying the stylus. I have used the mouse maybe three times, I use the stylus for everything and it is much faster than any mouse.
Pros: Doesn't require the use of USB port, connects via Bluetooth. To power off, lay is flat, no curve. Fits perfectly into laptop bag, or other small bags because it can lay flat, and not bulky like a traditional mouse.
Cons: Not really needed unless you don't like the stylus. Otherwise it is a great device.
Overall: If you like the stylus you won't need this. If purchasing a new device wait until you've had time to get to using the stylus over the mouse and decide if it is needed after that.

Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Tablet: The new Surface Pro 3 is in a category of its own. With a stunning 12" display in a sleek magnesium frame, Surface Pro 3 has all the power and performance of a laptop in an incredibly lightweight, versatile form. It may just be the ultimate device.
Posted by: slider1578
I purchased this as a new laptop for a job I was starting Dec 1. This device has truly change the way I think about working. It's light weight, strong for processing, and has a sleek design that always impresses my clients. The Surface has also become my personal laptop and generally replaced the use of my iPad, desktop, and Linux laptop.
Pros: Fast SSD hard drive allowing for quick start-up, launching of applications, and general processing in conjunction with a strong I5 processor. Crystal clear screen. Use of stylus makes use of a mouse moot.
Cons: Physical keyboard seen in commercials is not included. Fan will get very loud as it tries to cool the system at times. Usually a restart of the system solves this problem.
Overall: This system is a great lightweight replacement for your laptop or desktop. The hard drive is only 128GB but is expandable through the use of a MicroSD card. This may not seem like a lot, but I have installed plenty of applications, tools, and a few games and the system still has plenty of space available. You can also attach an external hard drive through the USB port if needed. The system itself preforms amazingly and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new system.
Windows 8 Impression: I was turned off of this at first and was a major concern of buying it. After experimenting it for a few days I have grown to love it. Without the touchscreen I probably wouldn't use it but with the touchscreen capability the system is amazing and the OS performs great. If I could get a few touchscreen monitors for my desktop I would upgrade that from Win7 to Win8.

4K Content but not worth the purchase
on December 29, 2014
Posted by: slider1578
I received this device as a purchase bonus when I bought the UN65UH8700FXZA. My initial thoughts were, "this is awesome, free 4K content to go with my brand new TV." However now my opinion is less enthusiastic.
Pros: Delivers 4K content for your UHD tv. Lots of documentaries and a few movies. Can download new content to the device.
Cons: Subtitles display in German only, even when selecting another language. Documentaries are not very interesting, better selection on Netflix. Movies are relatively old, generally available on HBO Go or another cable movie channel or already in my Blu-ray collection.
I have contacted Samsung about the subtitle issue and was told to take it back to Best Buy and exchange it as it may be a device issue. Not really looking forward to having to do that. Would expect a device of this price to come working correctly especially with such a simple feature.
Overall Opinion: Don't purchase this on your own. Getting it with a new TV is a good deal but the price for the standalone unit is too costly for the benefits. You may be able to get another HHD for $60 bucks, download 4K content to it and have it hooked up to the TV through the same USB 3.0 cable and port.

Widi capable?
Does unit connect to wireless displays that use widi intel technology?
With the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter this will work. I use it to connect to TVs and projectors without wires.

Can Thunderbird Email Program be installed? It uses a POP mail server.
As long as it is Windows 8 compatible it should work. I would recommend checking the Thunderbird Email site to ensure it works on Windows 8 and if it does it will work on this system.

The SURFboard SB8163 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem features 16 downstream x 4 upstream channels for high-speed internet access. It is compatible with major US Cable Internet providers and is best for cable internet speed plans up to 400 Mbps.
Is it only available in White?
I have only ever seen it in white, never have I seen it in black or another color which is disappointing.
