Enjoyed flying off the planet and initial play
on June 30, 2018
Posted by: Purchaser
from St. Louis, MO
Verified Purchase:Yes
There was a lot of hype about this game so it had a lot to be in order to impress people. The graphics are ok and got better with some updates they did. They have also added extra items in game play that helped smooth graphics and added items to play like the car.
I love the feeling of taking off from a planet, flying thru asteroid fields and the occasional space ship fights. It's even fun to pick fights within a planet. It took a while for me to get used to fighting and ran away which was scary and fun when you made it away. The only reason I didn't mark it a 5 is that it does get redundant after a while - planets are very similar (they have different looks and animals - but close enough that they are all the same in a way - so the collection of materials to keep going and grow your stations, transporting back to your home planet and/or building your star cruiser does get repetitive - but not until after many hours which if you paid a lower price for this game -ie. under 20 then that's worth it. I really look forward to flying off a planet and going to another soon and would really like to get to the center of the universe some day. All the NASA and Hubble pics make this game even more fun to imagine visiting worlds far away.

One of the best games I've played
on December 13, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great game! Story is ok. Realistic graphics. Driving part is very real and exciting. It's an open world. Take your time and explore and try things out - run around, drive around, then do some story, then do side missions - makes it last a lot longer and very fulfilling! Great shooter. Lots of weapons. Great music from the 60's 70's - you can change channels which driving to hear other songs. Cool cars. I played it for free (borrowed) but liked it so much I had to buy it when it was a reasonable price.

Marked 4 for Price - would have been 5 stars
on August 1, 2017
Posted by: Purchaser
Verified Purchase:Yes
They work and I used price match and best buy bucks to get them to a reasonable cost between eighteen to twenty (which is what I could get them for at another retailer). Having to jump thru those hoops made me rate at lower level. I usually have maybe 1 or 2 out of 100 of these DVDs fail with this brand. So far none have failed in this batch.

It is long but coiled - you can stretch though
on June 20, 2017
Posted by: Purchaser
Verified Purchase:Yes
I just needed an extension cord and this one worked. The issue was it was coiled and would snap back or not convenient if using the whole length. What I did was to pull it to it's length and secured it from one side of the room to the other for a few hours - essentially pseudo stretching it - and it maintained the longer shape after that. which is what I wanted. Gave it a 5 because all coiled and had to do this "stretching"

Software doesn't work and bad customer service
on January 24, 2017
Posted by: Purchaser
Verified Purchase:Yes
Software doesn't work. I needed the physical hardware (connects VCR to computer USB) to port from VHS player to computer and the software is stated "Easy" on the box. The software install and use was easy but it would only record onto the PC for a short time, then quit recording. So essentially I had to watch the entire video and when it stopped, stop the VCR and start recording again and ended up with many recordings instead of one. Then when I went to burn it - again was easy to do but it wouldn't play on a regular DVD player - it was all horizontal lines. It would play on the computer but only stretched out. I contacted Roxio which is supported by Corel. They said the first issue is by design and no way to force it to just record - if it senses a line drop (which there wasn't, but maybe the recording on the VHS Tape switched to another recording) it just drops. And they had no idea on the video playback.
So to fix the issues, I used Nero Recode (comes with Nero burnging software) and the Roxio hardware device.
I got it on sale for $60 at Best Buy - which all I could use was the hardware which I think is probably worth $15.
Highly disappointed in this purchase!

Works/easy replacement install/fair price
on December 26, 2016
Posted by: Purchaser
Verified Purchase:Yes
I marked it as a 3 as I'm replacing a previous Seagate HD that just failed after only being in service between 2-3 years. Seagate has changed their warranty policy to 2 years (I guess they know how long their product will last). I used to get 5-7 years out of a HD - now only 2-3 years? At least the price is reasonable and I use them in a RAID 1 configuration so I can absorb 1 HD loss at a time. Online storage is still more expensive in the large TBs range so buying a new HD for local storage is still cheaper is why I haven't switched to cloud.
This drive is a 2TB 7200 RPM drive.

no plug was needed. Quick easy install. Uses USD 3.0 and backwards compatible. Replacing a failed external LaCie branded drive. Inside the LaCie was a Seagate drive! So this way you at least know you're getting WD. Had probs with WD in past decade with them - tried Seagate (which is apparently Seagate), both failed same rate so trying WD again. They seem to fail 2-4 years - basically just after warranty expires. Giving it 5 starts mostly on price, size, no power cord needed, usb 3.0/fast

Play your favorite music with this iLive ITTB775B turntable, which supports 33-1/3, 45 and 78 rpm records and features a Bluetooth interface with A2DP (advanced audio distribution profile) support that lets you pair with your smartphone or tablet.
 

Do I need anything with this (speakers I guess are built in) or can i just put a record on and play? Do you price match with Amazon (its less on Amazon but I'd rather give you the purchase) and is shipping free (if i buy now)?

Has speakers built in that are decent for a stand alone. You can connect to external speakers as well via an RCA cable not included.

When the record is finished playing does the needle go back to orignal place automatically or you have to do it manually I bought another model and had to return as you had to manually stop it when finished playing a record

No - it does not go back automatically. The needle arm is manual. There is a lever you are to use to lift it and set it down with (does it slowly and to protect the needle).
So far seems to be a pretty good all in one record player. The display lights can be turned on/off as well.

Could i plug the small 3.5mm adapter in my xbox1 remote then plug my sl300 headphones to use them as a gaming headset? I need it to convert from "Omtp to ctia" so ppl in the chat room could hear me... I hear them, but they cant hear me.

It should work unless it's an issue with your headphones. ie. it's just an extension cable. As long as the adapter fits into your controller then you plug your headphones into the other end and it's just like you've extended the length of your headphones.

will it work in a Dell studio XPS 8100?

My Dell Studio XPS 8100 came with two Barracuda 7200.11 9JV138-034 1.5 TB hard drives set up in a RAID config. When one of the drives went bad I decided to install to Seagate 2.0 TB drives PN 9JB1N3-576 drives. I have not been able to completely install my windows 7 operating system with the disk that came with the computer. Do you have any advice?
Yes it will work. You will only get 1.5 TB from it though in your RAID 1 configuration. You might be able to setup the other 500GB as an additional logical drive but I'd advise against that if running RAID 1 - you might slow down your read/write access for the Mirror - ie. just deal with the loss of the 500GB and see if that 1.5TB drive doesn't fail next and then get a 2TB to replace it and use a program like Symantec Ghost to resize your Drive to 2 TB if/when you replace that 1.5 TB with a 2TB.

pull harder and wiggle back and forth as you do it. if not work, unplug it and turn it over and take out the battery, then use a strong flat tool like heavy knife or screwdriver to wedge underneath it to pry out around the all the edges
