There are times when the whipping winds of the ice planet E.D.N. III are so cold, you swear your soul starts to freeze solid. Constantly contending with the evil, menacing Akrid certainly doesn't help, either. Sometimes you can't help but think that even if humankind could survive this place, humanity could not. You'd never let your employer — Neo-Venus Construction — the company prepping this godforsaken place for colonization hear you say those words, though, since they're your only ticket out of here. Your only ticket home. Just when you start to wonder if this is the ice storm that'll freeze you over, or if this is the gunfight with the hostile Akrid that'll frost-bite your soul, you think of your family back home and that tiny corner of your heart thaws anew. This is all for them, so you climb back into your utility rig and get back to work. You have no choice but to survive this Lost Planet.Your name is Jim Peyton and you work for NEVEC on the barren, frozen wilderness of E.D.N. III as they prepare this planet for colonization. You're equipped with an astounding array of tools and weapons in a utility rig that is your sole lifeline in this mysterious world. Your job is to harvest thermal energy, the resource that NEVEC desperately needs to solve Earth's energy crisis, and that, unfortunately, allows menacing Akrid to reproduce. Experience murderous ice storms and heart-pounding gunfights as you reveal the secrets of this planet on your quest to earn your way back to your beloved family. Play in first- and third-person combat or in a full set of multiplayer modes with up to 10 people online, and enjoy the visually stunning, Hollywood performance-capture graphics brought to life by Unreal Engine 3 for unforgettable and immersive gameplay.
The days of primitive joysticks and wheel paddles are long gone. Modern gaming requires a precise, responsive and comfortable controller, and the Xbox 360 stands right on the cutting edge. When you're ready to switch between your games, movies and music, you don't want to be bogged down by tedious menus and selection screens. Experience thrilling gameplay with the new standard in wired controllers.The Xbox 360 Controller features compact ergonomics for comfortable play and accommodates gamers of all sizes and skill levels. The centralized Xbox Guide button provides you with instant access to your digital movies, music and games at just the touch of a glowing button. Adjustable vibration feedback results in a more personalized gaming experience, and the unit works with most Windows Vista-based PCs in addition. An integrated port accepts the Xbox 360 headset, and the extended 9' cable lets you sit a comfortable distance from the screen. The next generation of gaming and entertainment is here.
Best you can get cheap. But they wear out. Mainly the analog sticks. The old original Xbox controllers were bullet proof. These are better than the wireless ones though. More finger space underneath. And naturally a faster response time being wired.
I use a 9' USB extension cable to reach my chair. No issues.

Wired is better if you have large hands. Great for Poker or other things. Terrible for shooters or racing. My fingers can't fully wrap around the triggers due to the battery blocking them.
The new Xbox One wireless controllers have addressed this issue fully. Glad they listened.

What's not so great: Battery is huge for large hands. Causes my fingers to cramp

What's great about it: It's THE best motion sensor out.
We are so happy with this unit. We have hard water and we expected sub par results with spots on everything like our last dish washer. But this machine really does an amazing job. You would never know we have hard water by looking at our dishes now. A night and day difference.
USE CASCADE RINSE AID! And you WILL GET DRY DISHES. So many people complain about wet dishes with so many units. We have not tried any other rinse aid yet. But REGULAR cascade WORKS GREAT. We love the silverware on the door feature. We can fit so many more dishes in this unit now over our old one.
Be sure to load your small silverware in the little holder holes (handles down) and you will have perfect dishes. Looks nice in black.
NOISE LEVEL: Much better than our old unit. We are glad we didn't spend over $800.00 for a silent Bosch. I hear they are silent. But this is so quite it's not worth it to pay more than double for silent Bosch right now for us. This is a great value! There's 3 of us in our family. And we make a lot of dishes. lol It handles our work load just fine.

What's great about it: Sparkling dishes even with our hard water!
What's not so great: Nothing, JUST USE RINSE AID for DRY dishes!
I was stuck having to get my child a 29-32" t.v. in this price range. Then I found this one. 40"! I was skeptical, but I gave it shot. NO REGRETS!
We hooked up our Xbox 360 via Component at 1080p. Looks Great! Then I hooked my Xbox 360 to it via HDMI in 1080p! Looks fantastic for as little as we paid! It took some tweaking #as all t.v.'s do fresh out of the box#. But the menu's are pretty simple. Regular standard t.v. channels look as good as they can look. And HD channels look nice via HDMI. You cannot go wrong at this price!
> Some people say they got a lemon. But any make/model/ #product of any kind# has some lemons in each batch made. That's normal. Grab a new one and enjoy. Love this t.v. for the price! Our living room 60" t.v. was $1000.00! It looks a bit better sure. But not $700.00 on top of this t.v.s $300.00 price better! Good luck beating this size and quality anywhere near this price.

What's great about it: SIZE and PICTURE 1080p!
What's not so great: For this low price, nothing. Cannot complain.
I have had this HDD in my gaming PC (which gets long hours of hard use nightly) since 2011. No issues at all. (I wanted an SSD. But the price for very little storage with SSD's is not cheap enough just yet). But this HDD drive is still going strong and it's the end of July 2013. Nice and fast too.
So I bought this second identical drive for my Father in laws PC to replace his old smaller (over filled with pictures lol) HDD. The spec and size for the money cannot be beat. I am a stickler for the best deal. At the time I bought this HDD (back in 2011, and now again in 2013) this was and still is the best deal. Very happy!

What's great about it: Large storage size, 7200 RPM spec, low price, quality, reliable.

Returned it
ByClipper34fromLos Angeles, Ca
I bought this tv from best buy's opened / returned section and after watching tv for a half an hour it was very apparent why the tv had been returned. When I watched it during the day if there was a dark scene the TV would look completely black. I tried adjusting the settings but did not work.

Did you adjust it?

That may be why it was a return/floor model. We bought one of these a few weeks ago. It was just an okay picture fresh out of the box. (But any make/model is like that). You have to take the time to tweak the settings to your liking on any t.v. This particular model has a very basic menu for picture. But it works great. We are loving this t.v. for the price. The spec and size are amazing for the price! Try a new un-opened box. It's a steal!
