Been searching for a inexpensive chest freezer, this one went on sale and the other reviews were pretty good. I order it and it arrived 2 days later. Mine came with a dent on the bottom right side. it wasn't too bad, looks like a lot of people have these damage too. So far soo good.

The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

Waiting in line at the East side BestBuy at midnight was interesting. Aside from the morons who came DRUNK and was annoyingly STUPID DRUNK, it was surprisingly an pleasant experience. Anyway.. setup was rather easy and straight to the point. Wasn't expecting an update patch right away.. but ok. I wish they would of kept the old PS3 menu interface. The new one will take abit to getting used to. I don't like the big icons below the menus. I put a blue ray movie in and notice the ROM is alittle louder then ususal. I supposed that's normal. Joystick is very nice and smooth. I may want to get the camera one of these days. All in all its pretty zippy and load up time is quick.

What's great about it: Joystick, smaller, 1080dp!!
What's not so great: currently no DLNA, the new menu

How many cameras do you need?1-3
I bought this so it over look my van. When I point the camera at it, All I can see was the hood of my van. lol well that won't work for me because I wanted it to see my whole back parking lot. No matter how I try, you can't adjust the view or anything.
The motion detector wasn't too bad. The recording was abit annoying. I had to call tech support for help. You have to turn off a lot of features on your IE or Firefox to get this thing working. When it recorfds, the folder always pop up. So if your typing or doing anything, it'll pop up and you'll have to closed it. You can't even min it cuz it'll pop up again.

Anyway, I won't recommend this to anyone, I return this and got the Logitech 750E its like Day and night!! cost more but well worth the money!

After ordering 2 other outdoor security camera, this one by far is THE BEST. super easy to setup, no editing your browsers, no fuss. Very Very easy to setup.
The control of this is awesome, you can check your cam from anywhere. Logitech server is abit slow, but very nice addition.
The only problem I had was the cost of the. Its very expensive, but in the end, your safety and security is the most important.

Just got this today, installation was easy. like everybody else saids, I don't like the smuushy buttons. the Interface is slow, just not very snappy.
I'm running this on wireless and when ever I play movies over the internet, it sluggish and at times long waits. even for music and pictures. hummm, I dunno I may take this back and just get the sony PS3

Ok, I talk to a sales rep from bestbuy. got it down to -$50.00. Bought it for $469.99. went to pick it up, took it to the back and talk to the installer. After a few number crunching, it was going to cost me an additional $300.00 to install it on my Dodge Grand Caravan... OMG, that's almost $800 bucks total for this... Needless to say, I return it for refund. It it was under $500 bucks, I would of done it, but the extra cost just did me in.
What's great about it: It does as its describe
What's not so great: the labor!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

You've got all the tools for crafting the greatest entertainment experience you've ever known. Your PlayStation 3 is hooked up to your 3DTV, and the volume is pumping through your new Sony amps. You invited some friends over to watch a new movie you picked up on Blu-ray Disc. The picture's great, the sound is clear — now you just have to get away from the menu so the movie can actually start. You press a button on the remote. The movie doesn't start, but the sound shuts off — that was the remote for your speakers. Ok, no big deal. You find another remote and get ready to start the movie — but this is the remote for your TV. Looks like movie night's going to be delayed.Quit fumbling around with numerous remotes and take control of your entertainment world with the Media/Blu-ray Disc Remote Control for PlayStation 3. Compatible with the PlayStation 3, most TVs and Sony Amps, you can navigate and control your entertainment with one simple device, which makes it easy to listen to music, watch a movie and browse through the photos on your PlayStation 3 without switching between remotes. New buttons and functions let you switch the audio and video inputs in a snap, go back and forth between viewing angles and select either 2D or 3D mode, giving you full access to your entertainment universe. Your electronics come together to deliver one amazing entertainment experience — it's time you control them with one device.

i just picked one of these up about an hour ago, got it set up with my tv, was annoyed of having 2 remotes, sucks i cant access the menus or i can but cant navigate the menus. there should be some possible way, but unsure, hope someone figures out it. other than that great remote, slimmer, lighter than the old one and no need for another remote unless u want to change the settings.

Overall3 out of 5
3 out of 5Pros and cons
By grandma
I bought this GPS as a replacement or our old Tom Tom. I've had it a few weeks now, and there are some things I like about it, and some that are still a problem.
PROS
-The user interface is easy to use, and if you run into anything tricky, the entire manual is on the device under "Help" in the settings.
-The search for things like restaurants, etc is easy to use
-The lifetime data access is great!
- It has an option for "safety mode" which is hands-free while you're driving, and it gives more verbal details in that mode.
-Although it has a Bluetooth interface which can do all kinds of things with your smartphone, I haven't tried it yet. I probably will at some point.
-Their customer service live agents are awesome! I called before we bought it to ask questions, and the guy took the time to explain all the features of their different models to help me choose which one I needed.

CONS
-I never could get the live traffic updates to load. It kept saying "no traffic info available" or "this will take time to load", but it never did. I'm going to have to call customer service about that. Since this is one of the main reasons I bought it, this is why I gave a 3 star rating. If they can get this resolved, I would give it 5 stars.

it has to connect to your phone to get traffic and weather updates.
when you connect Bluetooth it to your phone, you can get text, calls and answer thru your Garmin. it's pretty neat

How do I found out what toner cartridge each of the laserjet printers uses?
comparing the lj pro 401 dne to the lj pro 1606dn
I think they both used the same toner.
you can find out by going to hp.com and check your model

This Honeywell Air Genius 5 Air Purifier features 5 levels of cleaning power and patented ifD® technology to capture up to 99.9% of microscopic airborne particles*1 ( 1 From the air that passes through the filter, 0.3 microns and larger. 2 Based on 3rd party independent CADR testing for the smoke CADR value when operated at the highest level. Air circulation depends on many factors, such as room size and configuration. There is no guarantee that all of the air in a room will pass through the filter. 3 The ifD® particle filter and foam pre-filer can be washed to clean. 4 When operated with the odor reducing pre-filter. It is recommended that the pre-filter be replaced every 3 months to effectively reduce common household odors and VOCs in a room).
how often do you have to replace the pre-filter, and at what cost?
there should be a LED indicator. that will tell you when u need to wash it.

Is this lens good for taking action sports shots from far away?
Yes, 18-200mm is by far the best short and long range lens! This lens is much better then the cheaper 18-200mm plastic lens. Its well made, feels great and takes great close or far pictures!
