Title Nine, per their website, is a “Sporting Goods Store, Women’s Clothing Store, Sportswear Store.” But don’t be fooled, they have cool trinkets too that might catch the guy’s eye too.
But what’s most important, is this is a husband’s point of view after having accompanied my wife to Title Nine in downtown Palo Alto, CA, and I have to say, this store, or company as a whole, gives you a fantastic consumer experience.

When my wife arrived at the store, she was looking for something specific, and walking into the store, you can pretty much see all that they have to offer the consumer. The layout is clean and easy to define where the products you are l00king for is located. And if you don’t see it right away, asking the staff that’s on hand seems to always be a win-win for everyone.
The staff is incredibly friendly, patient and knowledgeable, no matter what questions we laid out there for them.
The prices are about on par with what you’ll find in other venues. They may not underbid other competitors, but they do have a subtle edge that I’ll explain in a moment.

This is an initial set of observations and a consumer product review of the SONY Blu-ray Disc Player, model BDP-S480.
This is not a technical review. This is a regular Joe kind of review. So keep that in mind as you read this product review.
The Sony BDP-S480 is a 3D Blu-ray Disc Player. I did not get it for the 3D feature. I am not a fan of most 3D movies so I’m not sure what I’d get out of it on a tinier screen, but the player fell within my price-range. And since 3D seems to be getting shoved down the consumer’s throat, well, I’m sure sooner or later I might be tinkering with the tech.

As anyone who knows me can attest to, I do my research. I hate buying blind. Plus I’m finally considering a BD player because studios are adding more features to the Blu-ray format products than the DVD version of their products.
With that said, I was on the hunt for my first Blu-ray player.
Initially I queried some peers who have BD players and the one thing I took away from my conversations is to visit the stores and check out the remotes. Apparently remotes can be bulky, non-intuitive or are just annoying.
Then I checked out some consumer review websites and got a feel for brand/models I was looking for and had narrowed the field down. One of the first things I noticed was that the store I hit up did not have remotes out with the shelf models. After looking at what was for sale, there were a couple of recommendations left for my choosing.
