The Apple USB-C-to-USB Adapter lets you connect iOS devices and many of your USB accessories to a MacBook with a USB-C port. Plug the USB-C end of the adapter into the USB-C port on your MacBook, and then connect your flash drive, camera or other standard USB device.

apple milks its customers for more cash!

Verified Purchase:Yes
the new MacBook retina 12" is slick. unfortunately it comes at the expense of built-in ports on the laptop. for a $1300 laptop, this accessory should be included in the box. however, apple chose the money-grab option, and forces the customer to buy this necessary accessory for an additional $20. this most basic adapter only allows for a single usb connection (usb 3+ I believe), however once you plug it in, you cannot simultaneously charge the laptop. I bought this first, as the adapter I wanted (the one that has power pass-through, hdmi, and usb) was not available for purchase until recently. this adapter is very limited, but a usb hub may increase it's utility. do yourself a favor, skip this accessory, and buy the adapter(s) with more functionality (though the extra $60 ($80 each) for those isn't something to sneeze at).

extra cost for extras that aren't that great

when I purchase a movie these days, all I want is the Blu-ray disc. I have no use for the lower quality DVD or digital versions of the same movie. I suppose one could share the other versions with friends and family who don't have a Blu-ray player. I haven't watched the movie yet, so I can't comment on it, but reviews seems to be pretty good.

nice compact space heater with decent performance

I live in a small studio apartment in nyc, and it's been a long, cold winter so far. my apartment is heated by a hot water radiator, which generally is sufficient, but often times, an area of the apartment is not adequately warm. this compact little heater helps to fill the warmth void. it would be nice if it can just blow cold air (as a fan), but I am otherwise happy with the purchase.

nice alternative to gaming controller
on October 17, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to have a remote control to navigate around the xb1 dashboard, and during video/movie playback. the standard game controller works fine, but it tends to auto power down after inactivity which is annoying. I had the equivalent version for x360. the xb1 version looks slick, has low profile buttons, and the backlit buttons light up upon movement of the controller. it requires 2 aaa batteries (included). so far battery life has been good after 2 months of intermittent usage. the only minor negative is that the remote seems a tad bit unresponsive at times. will not know for a while if the automatic backlight adversely affects battery life - it would be nice if that option could be turned off. overall, a nice accessory for the xb1.

thank goodness...no dvd included
on October 17, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
bought this in store on release day. it's basically the same Blu-ray as the regular 3d version, but with the fancier packaging. under this slipcover is a box that contains the plastic bluray box (same as standard version), and a deck of cards with information about sentinels and select x-men. not sure if every deck is the same, or if it's a random selection of characters. this is the first blu ray set that I've purchased that only includes the 3d br, the regular br, and digital copy. the studio finally got it right and ditched the regular dvd usually included with the other discs. the dvd is generally pretty useless to me, and its omission reduced the price of the set by $7. I sure hope all 3d br sets are like this going forward.
