This is by far the best Batman/Superhero game ever created. The story is a very dark, twisted tale based on the DC Comics. BB:AA has no affiliation with the "cartoonish" movies! The game gives you excellent back stories on about 30 characters from the entire saga, fun challenges from the riddler and Mark Hamill as the Joker! For all trophy seekers this Platinum will take about 2 weeks of causal work but is easily attained after you master the Free Flow Combo system (which is awesome by the way!). A must have for any collection, you will not be disappointed!
What's great about it: Story, Graphics, Gameplay, EVERYTHING
What's not so great: ummmmm........NOTHING

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.

Is it worth it, getting the 2yr Warrenty with the PS3??????
YES!! Get the warranty, you walk in with your busted system, they check the receipt and you walk out with a new one!! I recommend to always back up your data with a thumb drive as they do not transfer for it for free. Geek Squad will charge you $50 for the transfer. Don't worry about the trophies, those sync to the Sony server and replaced by syncing the new console with the server.

How long is your warranty on Ps3 and do you offer military discounts?
Best Buy does not offer the warranty unless you pay for the Black Tie Protection which varies based on the system size and the length of warranty. Best Buy as a corporation, does not offer a military discount. However, I'm in the military as well and my BBY offers a military night 3 times a year which gives us 10% off everything in store (except price locked items) and 20% of all Geek Squad services. Talk to your local BBY and have them contact the BBY in Vacaville CA about hosting a military night. They do it right, they do it the best

How can I get them cheap?
I was going to buy a ps3 but the whole thing is I'm on a tight budget right now, and I'm not really into the whole online auction deal where you have to give your credit card number and all that personal information. It seems that everywhere I look they're at least $250 or more and I'm not looking for a 320GB ps3 I just need even a 40GB I just need some help.
If you want one cheap you'll have to go pre owned route. Sony has discontinued the 40/80 GB models. Now that BBY has preowned check the stores in your area to see if they've got any and if not, check the competitors.

Does Best Buy carry an 80gb Playsation 3, new not refurbished? And how much would it cost?
Not any more as Sony discontinued that model. If you do find one I would buy it as a lot of PS3 owners prefer that model (myself included) and would jump at the chance to get it again. I prefer that modal as it has 4 USB ports, and the extra memory slots (SD, XD, etc.). If you do find one expect to pay around $300.

what is the lifespan of the slim ps3
i know frum experience and research that the "fat" models only had about 2 year life..then u encounter laser and overheating issues..have these issues been addressed on the slims?
I have a fat model that's lasted for 4 years. I play about 10-20 hours a week. The secret to taking care of any of the new gaming systems is ventilation! Keeping your system in a well ventilated area will extend it's life many years. Dust the components regularly and keep any moisture away. The same goes for the slim models; keep it ventilated and it will last years.

Can you trade in ds games for wii games
i have ds games but i dont use them at all because my ds broke but i have a wii and i play it and i want to get rid of them
Certain Best Buy's will take trade in's based on condition of the game. The newer the game, the more trade in value. However, most DS games won't get more than $8-$10 trade in value. Check online using the store locater tab to locate a Best Buy that will take trade ins. It's also recommended that you have the original case and instructions as that add's to the value.

HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD MY PICTURE ON MY PSP #3
HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD MY PICTURES?
Easiest way is to put them on thumb drives, externals, etc. and just plug it into one of the USB ports. You'll be able to transfer any that are properly formatted. Jpeg is the preferred format.

When will you have more ps3's in stock?
Sony traditionally ships around the 5th and 20th of every month and if they have any to release, they'd be in there. Best Buy can order all they want, but unless Sony is willing to release, there's nothing much us mortals can do.
