This is a great game for any fan of the genre. It has all of the classic characters and incorporates several from across the series. The 4 new characters are interesting to say the least. The online game is very smooth and there is very little freezing up or disconnecting.
There are some major drawbacks though, first, Seth is worst finishing boss in the series. He is easily defeated with a simple combo repeated over and over again; it makes me long for Gill or Bison as the finisher. Playing online is very difficult since everyone picks the shoryuken fighters and they use MK, MP, LP and LK over and over again. When you play online you are randomly matched with a player, most of the time you will be assigned a pro (1200 Battle Points or more) and they will always pick Ken or Ryu and do the same thing over and over again. There is no way to "preview" who you are fighting. There is also no other way to set up custom matches, it would be nice to set up matches with certain characters to be excluded to level the playing field. Several of the trophies are EXTREMELY hard to complete, including Challenge Expert, No Challenge Too Hard, Technical Fighter, Title Master, Icon Master, Playing to Win and The Gold Standard. It takes an average player several months to unlock. If you don’t' have the Championship edition fight stick, this makes these even harder to unlock.
This game is great for casual players and fans of the series; but for those who are looking for a platnium, look elsewhere, this one takes too long.
What's great about it: Characters, classic 2D fighting style, online is smooth
What's not so great: Terrible last boss, too many cheap online fighters

![The Ninth Gate [Blu-ray] [1999]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9447/9447315_sa.jpg)

Johnny Depp plays this role perfectly! Nine Gates has smooth plot flow, excellent story telling and top acting. There is little to no action, this movie is all about story and as the description says, this movie is for adult audiences only. Frank Langella and Lena Olin have supporting roles that are acted with precision, poise and an evil grace! This movie is recommended for those who are Depp fans and for those who are looking for a solid story line with plenty of twists and turns! The symphony soundtrack that accompanies this movie is top notch and Sumi Jo's soprano voice carries beautifully.
The only draw back to this release is that there are little or no extras on the disc. You get an up close look at the drawings and some commentary but nothing else.
What's great about it: Psychological thriller with smooth story line!
What's not so great: Very little extras for Blu-Ray release.

This iMac features a brilliant 24" display that brings movies, games, graphics and more to life. The built-in iSight webcam and integrated microphone let you video chat with friends and family. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard included

I'm so glad I upgraded to this iMac. All of my files were on a WD 500GB external hard drive and it took all of 1 hour to set up my iTunes, iPhoto, etc. iPhoto face recognition software is phenomal! It only took 2 days of work to transfer, set up and organize 4K pics! It was too easy, left me plenty of time to work with all the other great features! My only gripe is that after dropping $2,000; Apple want's an extra $99 a year for Mobile Me, that should be included for free. WINDOWS IS GARBAGE!! Spend the extra coin and get a Mac, you will not be disappointed!
What's great about it: EVERYTHING!!
What's not so great: Mobile Me should be included for free

I had high expectations for this one, but RTTS is a total and complete failure this year. The training aspect on my game doesn't work, you'll see your player walk up to the cage or to the base, but he vanishes and I have to exit and I don't get any credit.
Second, the new baserunning mechanic is terrible, if you don't time your slide right, your character will stop and it takes 1-2 seconds for him to run again. When you round 2nd or 3rd the carmera rotates and if you don't rotate the stick correctly, it will cause your runner to stop or even go back.
Finally, hitting is soo hard, it makes you not want to play. When you guess the pitch right, right location, in the wheelhouse with a power swing; a fly ball would be nice, all you ever get is ground outs or infield flies. I want to have authentic gaming experience as much as the next guy, but a little fun and a homerun is nice too. If you want fun stick with 08, if you want to replace your controller from throwing it down, buy 09.
What's great about it: Ball is highlighted red when it's hit, makes fielding eaiser
What's not so great: Everything about RTTS, baserunning, training, hitting
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Where can I find a best buy which sells referbished PS3?
I seen some on the web site but they are gone.
After speaking to the Geek Squad at my NorCal Best Buy the refurbished ones are gone within 24 hours of hitting the store, you have to be lucky and in the store when it hits because they are few and far between.

does the ps3 runs hot if u play it for hours
Yes, however, if you keep it in an open area, away from direct sunlight and nothing obstructing the vents, it will be fine.

Can you return a ds game if you don't like it?
Unfortunately no, it has to be defective or broken. Sometimes it depends on the cashier as well, some do some don't; but official policy is above.

do you sell this item
is there somekind of item that connects to your tv or gaming system (ps3) that prevents lagging, and keeps you from having trouble on getting online and not having to try repeatedly just to get online to play a game
If your having issues connecting, you need to dedicate the wireless router solely to the gaming system. At my house I have 1 computer and it's plugged in via ethernet cable and the PS3 which runs off the WiFi (Linksys "G" series router). If you run too many items off the WiFi, it's going to run slow. If you can't/won't do it, make sure all other items that are connected to the router are TURNED OFF, don't put them to "sleep", they must be turned of or disable the WiFi while your gaming. Only other option is to upgrade your router, but be careful, WiFi routers that can do this cost big $$$$.

what is the difference in a xbox 360 and a playstation 3 which is better and why
Here are the pros and cons for both
PS3 Pros- Up to 250GB HD, Free Online gaming via PSN, BLURAY PLAYER, Netflix Compatible up to 1080p graphics/7.1 surround sound, no red ring of death, easily upgradable HD.
PS3 Cons- Price tag (up to $350 250 GB HD), still a brick weight wise, since online is free some issues with gaming.
XBOX Pros- Up to 150 GB HD, much cheaper, lighter system, up to 1080i 5.1 surround sound, Netflix compatible, easily upgradable HD, a lot easier to mod and upgrade and XBOX live is far superior for online gaming, however it costs up to $60/year depending on package
XBOX Cons- RED RING OF DEATH (sure it's replaced for free but no gaming for 15-30 days while it's getting repaired SUCKS!) Only plays DVD's.
What it really boils down to is what you are going to do with the system; If you are a hard core online shooter gamer, XBOX would be the way to go. If your a medium to light online gamer go with the PS3, a lot less problems and it's got a Blu-ray. If you get the XBOX your going to spend an additional $100+ for a blu ray, why not take that additional $$$ and put it towards a PS3.
I own a PS3 and I play very few online games. I've had it for 3 and half years, keep it well ventilated and clean and I've never had any issues with it. I highly recommend it over the XBOX.

what is a DNS error
im having trouble connecting my ps3 to the internet and it tells me that it is a DNS error. What is that?
If you are using wireless internet make sure that the PS3 is only system hooked up to it. If you are running multiple computers and gaming systems it can cause it to run slow and generate the error message. Only other way is to turn off (not standby) all other "systems" running. Hope this helps.
