Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.

Great Can't wait to see where it gets better.

First and foremost the Echo is a good Bluetooth/connected speaker. It's no Sonos but I wasn't expecting it to be. It's really cool to ask her questions like you would a real person and get some good results. "When is the cubs game/how are they doing" and "What are show times for Star Trek: Beyond" yielded great results. To be honest though that novelty while very good and consistent wears off a little. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who hasn't invested in smart home tech because that is where the Echo shines. I currently have an Ecobee3, Phillips Hue, Sonos, August lock, and Harmony Hub. Right now the Echo works with Hue, Sonos, and Ecobee3 with the Harmony Hub being tested currently. There is no way to make the August work but there are ways to make other things work using apps like IFTT and Yonomi. I suggest anyone who wants one of these google those two apps to see some of the amazing things you can do with this awesome little device. I can turn on and off my lights, turn on and off my different activities with Harmony, play music, lower or raise the temperature and get basic info off the web. It's really cool and we are closer to Star Trek than ever. It is worth the money if you want to talk to your house. I love it. There are some failings. It doesn't understand some complex wordy questions while others it has no problem with. The list of compatible devices are limited but with those two apps I spoke of, IFTT and Yonomi that list is greatly increased, and the "skills' you can get aren't good at all. Limited and poor. But the potential is there and it looks like Amazon is working on it.

Turn a smartphone into a 360-degree viewing experience with this ReTrak Utopia 3-D virtual reality headset. It's lightweight and has memory foam padding, making it comfortable for extended use. The adjustable focus and Lucidview lens system in this ReTrak Utopia 3-D virtual reality headset minimize eyestrain when viewing the phone's screen.

For $19.99 it's a good product. Doesn't fit 6+

The build quality was higher than expected from a $19.99. It still feels like a brittle plastic but it's comfortable, the straps are easily adjustable and the lenses aren't bad. Problem I had with it was I have a 6+. No where on the site or on the product does it specify what dimensions it supports which is not a good thing. If you have a smaller phone than I do and want VR this isn't a bad way to start.

![Black Christmas [Blu-Ray Disc]](https://bestbuy.ugc.bazaarvoice.com/profiles/3545w/static/noimage70.gif)
Overall
1 out of 5
1 out of 5Not the 2006 remake.
By Nickool
I ordered this movie online only because Best Buy has it listed as the 2006 remake. It's not, in fact it's a more expensive version of the 1978 Blu Ray copy.
So if you are looking for the 2006 remake on Blu Ray, this isn't it, and if you want the 1978 version then order the cheaper one from Best Buy. I'm not sure what makes this one so special.

So first things first. It has the original artwork from the 1974. Secondly it says 1974 in the title. Thirdly you bought this expecting the 2006 version? God. A terrible film if you judge it by it's own merits but if you compare it to the original it is in the top three worst remakes of great horror films. I don't usually hate on people who like different things than me but come on man. This is like you hating on the original The Thing but loving the stupid prequel remake. Garbage.
