The game-changing turnovers. The bitter rivalries. The sensational buzzer beaters. There are professional sports — and then there is professional hoops. Out on the hardwood, anything can happen with one second remaining on the shot clock. Here, underdogs triumph, dynasties fall and legends are born. You live for the thrill of game night, know the plays by heart and are loyal to your team to a fault. Now, it's time to get off the sidelines, lace up your shoes and step up for tip off as the grit and the glory of the NBA slam dunks into your world.This year, live the NBA action like never before, with more control, more realism and more ways to shape the history of pro basketball. After selling more than 5 million copies worldwide and winning more than 25 Sports Games of the Year awards, the industry-leading franchise that brought you NBA 2K12 further transcends the realm of sports video games, joining forces with Jay-Z as executive producer. NBA 2K13 propels the action into the next generation, colliding the newest kings of the court with legends of NBA history for epic matchups, including the one that's got everyone talking — Team USA of 2012 versus the Dream Team of '92. With an enhanced My Player mode and all-new gameplay features, NBA 2K13 gives you new ways to hone your techniques and rise to the championship. Are you ready for tip off?

Compared to 2K11 on PS3

Posted by: ljbad

I played 2K11 on the PS3 and when I heard about the improvements that they made for the '13 version I decided to get it. I gambled and went with the Wii U version (even though I knew I'd like the PS3 version) and that Gamble PAID OFF BIG TIME. Every bit as good with the addition of off-tv play and the ability to pick plays and styles on the touchpad (I always struggled to get the plays and defensive sets I wanted using the PS3 controller)
Wii U is the best version!
What's great about it: Every bit as good as PS3 version, but with the addition of off-TV play and you can use the touchscreen for play calling
What's not so great: To play 2 player you have to buy the Pro Controller (I did and it works like a champ)

I saw this movie in the cheap theater so 3D wasn't an option, but when I popped the 3D blu-ray in and turned on my 3DTV WOW I was VERY IMPRESSED it sucked me right in. The 3D was SUPER CRISP and the fighting scenes in 3D made me feel like I was there in the cartoon.

Roku 3: Access more than 1,500 channels in up to 1080p and view videos from Netflix and YouTube directly on your TV. Fast, powerful and loaded with features, the motion-sensing remote lets you play games or plug in headphones to watch late-night flicks without waking up the household.

They are selling subscriptions for internet TV
By Gemmac from Austin, Texas
Don't you hate it when manufacturers ignore telling you the bottom line.
This product is of no service to anyone, unless you give Roku your Credit Card so that they can charge you whatever. You won't find this out until you have completely installed the product and tried to use it. Then a live screen on TV will tell you to submit your Credit Card or take the product back to the store. I promptly took the product back to the store and got my $100.00 dollars plus back from Best-buy. Sorry, I'm not stupid @!!
Besides that, Roku is overdone by Smart DVD players and Smart TV's that do the same. Internet TV is too much for purchase and is not quite worth it.
I would be better off to pay for cable TV.

Yes you can

You actually can use it without a credit card on hold and there is free content. It's just most people will choose to also purchase content. If you want to use it without a credit card just call them up while setting it up and it's not a problem. I gave them mine for convenience, but I have a buddy that did that because he didn't want his kids buying stuff he didn't want them to buy.

Quick Question
February 4, 2015
You said, You get what you paid for. Normally that's used to denote that it's not great, but since it's cheap you can't expect much, but I'd say this chair is kind of expensive. So, are you saying it's actually a pretty good chair and therefore worth paying that extra money for?

Overral Solid Addition
By Chuck
I have been reading up on the game since before the JP release, and what I have heard has left me excited for Feb.
I loved Awakening, and I saw it as a great new iteration of the series that I still play every so often today.
Fates takes some of what was done well in Awakening and improves it. The gameplay is a huge step up, with new features, more balanced difficulty scaling for at least the Conquest route, and more varied objectives; overall great, some of the best in the series.
Unfortunately, the story is not so amazing. Two of the three routes have issues ranging from small to glaring when it comes to story, but any more specifics would be spoilers.
Some people may have problems with some of the more controversial features introduced in this game, but it is up to the localization to see how much of those filter through to here.
Fire Emblem Fates has its flaws, but so does everything else, it's to be expected. The main thing is that while those looking for an amazing story may be slightly disappointed (or not, who knows?), those who want fun gameplay that presents an entertaining challenge will not be. It is a solid addition to the series that I would readily recommend.

I can't find the special Edition, which version?

You said,
" Two of the three routes have issues ranging from small to glaring when it comes to story"
The special edition is sold out everywhere so I'm trying to decide which version to get. Which of the 3 stories does NOT have these story issues?
Thanks

Stereo ?

How can it be stereo, if there is only one speaker? Even if the speaker had a dual voice coil it's still mono.
it has multiple speakers you can see them when you hold it up close

what about sony 55inch tv 2009yr/also 3D

I have a lg 3Dblue ray dvd player im going to get new2D/3D ready tv will dvd be enough to get 3D on my TV or does it have to be an 3D TV do I need dvd LG blueray player also?
Most 3D TVs have a 3D conversion option, but they suck.
If you want to watch GOOD 3D you'll need a 3DTV, 3D glasses that are compatible with your TV, either a 3D blu-ray player OR a PS3, and 3D Blu-rays.
You can actually do it with just the 3DTV if you have 3D cable channels. I used to get ESPN 3D on DirecTV, but I cut my cable so now it's just 3D Blu-rays and my PS3.

Wii U Error Code 1-0001

My local Best Buy got a Wii U stand and I decided to check that out. Controller felt good and menu looked fine for the most part. Then got to the one game available to demo: Rayman Legends. Wanna know how it went? Neither do I because it kept freezing and after one minute of a and kept giving me an error: 1-0001. Restarted the Wii U multiple times and nothing. Anyone else get this type of problem?
No, I bought my Wii U at launch and yes it has frozen, but not over and over like that and with the updates the freezing is basically gone now.
