One of Disney's Best
on March 30, 2014
Posted by: RoadRacer524

Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie was great. It was refreshing to see a Disney Princess movie move away from the tiring old formula of a prince coming to save the day. I think they Disney is finally letting some creativity rub off from Pixar.

Your right foot twitches with anticipation — and maybe just a little bit of pre-race jitters — ready to push the pedal to the metal, sending your mechanical beast lurching ahead of your competition. A single drop of sweat drips between your creased brow and drops from the end of your clenched jaw, splattering onto the steering wheel where your hands are tightly clamped. You've learned the art of tunnel vision — blocking out the drivers to your left and right — seeing only the expanse of track before you. The starting flag hangs limply in the breezeless air. The roar of the excited, frenzied crowd is drowned out by the pounding of blood between your ears. You were born ready for this moment. The only option is first.Prepare yourself for a thrilling, adrenaline-pumping automotive experience with Forza Motorsport 5, which offers leading simulation and next-generation graphics engines, so you feel as if you're really strapped in the seat — zooming around some of the world's most legendary racetracks. Let your opponents know you mean business by using your vehicle to push them into the wall — leaving in your wake a tangle of metal and busted parts with high-resolution damage modeling. Continually hone and develop your skills by facing an ever-evolving network of lifelike competitors with Drivatar technology, and even compete against your friends' top times. With an Xbox LIVE Gold membership (not included), you can enjoy exhilarating multiplayer races with Smart Match matchmaking, which pairs you with individuals who complement your own unique way of driving. When the race is finished, upgrade your vehicle by downloading from a diverse array of globally recognized cars — months before they're even available to consumers in the showroom, and make sure your car reflects your own personal style by giving it a custom paint job. Do you have what it takes to race some of the world's fastest cars?

Best Racing Game So Far!
on February 11, 2014
Posted by: RoadRacer524
from Statesville, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I only said that price is "not so great" because I feel with all the competition in the gaming industry now it is about time that software titles drop some, not get more expensive. At any rate, about the game, this is the first racing game that I have played that reaches an EXCELLENT balance between realism and game play. Many games before are too "gamey" like NFS, or way too realistic to be fun like Gran Tourismo. Even previous versions of Forza have left me wishing it wasn't so realistic because in the end, it's a game. I should be able to just pop it in and play with a certain level of realism. I believe they hit it on the head with this version! Realistic enough to keep my interest and gamey enough to be fun!

I received an instant credit when I purchased this subscription together with my XBox 1. I'm not sure how long it will last, but make sure you don't miss out on it if you're buying a new xbox. XBox Live really improves the gaming quality of this console.

Good gaming system for the most part
on February 11, 2014
Posted by: RoadRacer524
from Statesville, NC
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall it's a good gaming system. I hope with future software upgrades they fix the choppy playback I have found in Blu Ray discs. At times, even DVD play back chops up as well. As far as a pure gaming system, it's a great device. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because Microsoft is touting this as an entertainment system and I feel movie playback needs to be flawless.

Good All-Purpose Enclosure

Build or modify your own PC:No
Level of Expertise:Expert
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a computer not boot at all. Instead of fixing it I decided to get this enclosure to read the hard drives. since the computer was so old it wasn't worth trying to fix. The catch was that the computer that died was a PC and I needed the info on a Mac. We'll, no problems. All drives, which there were 4, were recognized and the data transfer was really fast as we'll. very satisfied customer.

This multidirectional Mohu Leaf 30 MH-110583 indoor antenna is compatible with select HDTVs and enables 1080p output. The reversible, paintable design lets you customize the look of the antenna to complement your décor.
 

Will this antenna work in the basement?

I don't believe this antenna is meant to work in a basement. It's really meant to be near your TV. I would try it just in case it does get a good signal but your best bet might be to at least mount it outside your home and run a cable down to your basement. If you do that then I would recommend their outdoor antenna instead.

How many channels will it pick up. What type of channels does it pick up? What color does it project on tv, black and white or HD color?

Oh, the antenna gives a great picture as long as you're able to get a good signal. I connected it to a Tivo and when I did the signal test, as long as I got 40 or above, I got full HD quality. About the amount of channels, I was able to reel in 23 channels in my location.

Can you connect directly to a network?

Is there a way to connect this enclosure to an ethernet/RJ45 type of connection so that I can use it as a stand alone network drive?
Is there a way? Sure ... but it's going to cost you some money unfortunately. It does not come with a native ethernet port but you can connect it to a router that will allow you to share external drives as a networked resource. Apple's Airport Extreme is such a router and the newest version is phenomenal. The range is stupendous and is really easy to set up even if you don't have a Mac. There are other routers out there with this capability of course. I used to have a Linksys that allowed usb drives to be shared. I'm sorry I don't know of another router off hand besides the Apple router.
