This is one of the most convenient and fast wireless charging stands I have used! I just jump ship from Apple and I couldn't be any happier with my new S8. Samsung is light years ahead of apple in the smart phone market.

Way overrated!

Ok. So I have owned the Switch for close to 3 months. It is a good system and concept with some great games. But after 3 months there are no more great games available beyond Zelda and Mario Kart 8 deluxe. Both of which I have played to death. Now I am bored to tears. With no Netflix, Spotify, web browser or any other bridge function the Switch just sits. So I ended up selling it on eBay for $200.00 more than I paid for it. Going to buy the New Xbox X when it comes out this fall. In the meantime, I'll go back to using my 3DS XL which is still releasing awesome games! In my opinion, I'd wait at least until Christmas to see if Nintendo starts pumping out some support for the Switch. Feels like another Wii U disaster!

Masterpiece!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nintendo was really smart to include this game at launch time. The graphics, gameplay and story are well done! It's awesome being able to take this game on the road! But to be honest, after playing for two and a half months I have lost interest in the game. The replay value is gone and the fact that the new game line up is so thin, I have stopped playing the Switch and I am considering selling it. They set the bar so high with this game that everything else looks boring and weak.

This Nintendo Switch console includes the Joy-Con detachable controller and can link with other units for multiplayer adventures.

Nice system, hampered by lack of game support.

Ok. I've owned the Switch for two months. It's a great little system and the portability is fantastic. Unfortunately it seems like Nintendo and developers have not got behind it when it comes to developing a line of game. Yes. The few games that are out are outstanding. If I had to do it again I would hold off on purchasing the Switch. The lack of support a makes absolutely no sense.

Great printer. Ink virtually impossible to find.

This is a well built, feature packed little portable printer. Unfortunately for road warriors the inkjet replacement tanks are next to impossible to find in retail stores. Even Beat Buy rarely has the ink in stock. So if you buy this printer wxpect to buy ink online at a premium. I ended up returning due to this fact.

I have been a member of PlayStation Plus network for over 8 years. This is the best value in gaming. The free games, fast connection and member community is second to none. As good as Xbox live is, the PS Plus is a shade better. Definitely a must have if you want to take full advantage of the latest game technologies.

What can I say. This VR game absolutely lives up to the hype. I was a little reserved in my desire to purchase another "gimmick" but this Farpoint bundle is amazing. One of the most immersive FPS games I have ever played. Definitely pick this bundle up if you can find it !

Mexico's gritty streets seethe in the blood of innocent victims. The air reeks of corruption. Anarchy reigns supreme. Clenched in the grip of a vile drug cartel, the nation languishes, torn apart by war. But the filthy drug lords who rule the city streets are about to finally get their due — hand-delivered through the barrel of your gun. You're one-half of a deadly, sharp-shooting team that has one main objective — to purge Mexico of its criminal scum. Arm yourself to the teeth, pull down your mask and don't stop shooting until the job is done.The franchise that originated tactical co-op is back with a vengeance in Army of TWO: The Devil's Cartel. This unique third-person shooter gives you double the firing power, pairing you with a partner in combat. Mastering potent team-based tactics like flanking, dual-breaching, riot-shield attacks and more, you'll work together to inflict major damage in the drug-dealing world. The devastating Overkill mode, built on the new Frostbite 2 engine, puts extreme destructive power in your hands for every successful team maneuver you accomplish. You're sure to make an explosive entrance on the scene when you're armed with the deadly weapons and exclusive gear included in this Overkill Edition. Stock your arsenal with the fully automatic TAH-9 handgun, Double-D shotgun and specially skinned Day of the Dead AK-47, and outfit Alpha and Bravo with the included masks and outfits. Plus, with the Overkillers contract's additional missions, this package expands your campaign right from the start. Mexico doesn't need a miracle — all it takes is an Army of TWO.

I really enjoy this game. The play/battle mechanics is well designed. The only issue is that I can't find anyone to play via multiplayer. I'm guessing the server is either disconnected or the demand is no longer there.

Based upon the good reviews I picked up two of these on the "Deal of the Day" sale. After two months the function button and channel button stopped working. Also sucks the life out of batteries. Crickets from Mfg. I ended up throwing them in the recycling bin. Thankfully only paid $20.00 a piece.

I want a device that will replace the FIOS converter box on one of my smart tv's. If I purchase a cable card from Verizon will this box perform tuning functions for a tv?

Yes. I did exactly what you are asking and it works extremely well. I purchased the "Channels" program on my appme tv 4th gen and it works well.

Only at Best BuyStay frosty during even the hottest days with a cold one from this Insignia 78-can beverage cooler. The large capacity keeps plenty of drinks cold so that you can entertain a crowd.
 

I keep hearing the unit does not keep the drinks cold enough, I like to have my drinks very cold. Is this not the cooler for me?

If you like your drinks "Very Cold" this is not the cooler for you. I swapped out 2 units until I found one that actually worked. The secret, like the instructions say, you need to let is sit 24-36 hours after unpacking before plugging it in. Make sure it is level as well. The drinks do stay cold (36F lowest I measured) but the frost is definitely not part of the equation. You may want to get a mini fridge with a freezer on top which will lower the temp of the fridge.

Would this be a good choice for an outside patio bar under a porch. Want my beer very cold,

I keep it set at the lowest temp setting, 33F. And the beer is not very cold.

Watch your favorite shows with this 19-inch Insignia LED TV. It has a resolution of 720p for HDTV viewing, and its two 2.5W speakers provide high-quality sound to enhance your viewing experience. Connect your camera or smartphone to this Insignia LED TV through its USB port to view photos on the screen.
 

Does the USB have enough power to plug in a Roku? Or does anyone know how powerful the USB is? The Roku website says the Roku Express uses less than 2.4W, I want to use this in a kitchen and don't want to have to use another plug for the Roku..

I run a chromecast USB without any problems whatsoever.

Clip your smartphone to a vehicle air vent with this Logitech [+] trip 989-000119 mount that features magnetic coupling to securely attach your device to the mount. The compact, ergonomic design helps reduce clutter and allows comfortable viewing.
 

Do the magnets negatively effect the phone's compass and any other operations on the phone?

Yes. Using this product, believe it or not does tend to throw the internal accelerometer off therefore negatively impacting the accuracy of some of the guidance functions.
