With the clock winding down, all she can do is keep fighting until that last second runs out. Sometimes, every second matters. And sometimes, the only way to save your own soul is to save everyone else's first.Dive into the action as Lightning, who is on a formidable, and some might say fruitless, quest to save every soul that she can. Take on ghastly monsters with a full set of new weapons, once you've created the perfect warrior with player customizations. As you navigate Nova Chrysalia, it's your horrible responsibility to determine which souls can be saved and which souls must be abandoned. After all, you only have 13 days left to bring everyone to a new world. It's time to grab the reigns and take control of your destiny. Do you have what it takes to redeem your own soul?

I am a Final Fantasy Collector addict! I purchased the CE version of this game. Its a very nice set and super rare! I have not played this game yet but seen many videos of it and cannot wait to give it a shot. Only thing I question is the time limit in this game. Over all it seems like it will be very enjoyable.

This is a great game! The story can be addicting. I am still playing this and enjoying it so far. The game is somewhat linear but it plays out rather well. I really enjoy the soundtrack for this game so much I imported it from japan.

Players, start your engines. It's time to once again get on the racing circuit and compete against characters from the Mushroom Kingdom that you know and love. For the first time on the Nintendo Wii U console, you get to experience the racing action that has been a fan favorite for years, with a few added features to keep things interesting. So buckle up, push the pedal to the floor and get ready to turn this classic racing experience upside down.With new racing circuits, new gameplay features and a stunning new look, Mario Kart 8 certainly lives up to the legacy. The new anti-gravity feature will have you suddenly finding yourself racing on walls in a haunted mansion or upside-down over Princess Peach's castle — not to worry, the wheels on your kart will automatically rotate and shift into antigravity gear for an awesome racing element that allows mind-blowing new circuit designs. The previous games in the Mario Kart franchise introduced some amazing features, so they're back for more in Mario Kart 8. You can still see who's got what it takes in 12-player online competitive play. Hang gliders and motorbikes are back, as well as underwater racing and mid-air tricks, while Waluigi and Toadette rejoin the cast of characters. As the icing on the cake, the crisp, high-definition graphics and 60-frames-per-second frame rate of your Nintendo Wii U ensure a visually stunning and vibrant gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.

Best Mario Kart Yet!

This is so far my favorite Mario kart thus far! The graphics are superb and the audio and soundtrack just immerse the player into the game. The controls feel more accurate and responsive compared to previous games in this series. This was well worth the pre-order and wait! The game is perfect for most ages. I say most because this in reality could allow some kids to think its ok to grow up and have road rage and try to throw turtle shells, banana's and other things at other drivers.

Great Sound Quality

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great sound card it really packs a punch and with the right speaker send up you will be drowning in pure delight when listing to your music or even watching movies. There are a lot of tweaks to play with as well as some presets. I also like that this supports the HD front audio Connector. If you have a clear window on the side of your machine like mine does you will love the red glow that this card emits.
I only had one issue that was fixed with a windows driver update. when the computer would wake from sleep the sound card would not work and the computer had to be rebooted. So far the window update fixed my issue.
I am very happy with this over all!

The all-new thinner and lighter design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life.1 With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls,2 record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

Its Great! but has quirks...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this as a gift for my brother in-law for Christmas. He wanted an iPad but couldn't make up his mind so I did it for him. I got a great black Friday deal on it.
There is not much to say about this other than it is an apple iPad. They are great for Music, Movies, banking, searching the web and more.
I do have to say that this had IOS7 and with the most up-to-date version it still is a bit buggy. He got it all setup and could not get iMessage to work and had to set it up from scratch again. Adding friends to game center kept saying he had a friend request after he friended them all. Resetting the device did not fix it so he had to remove them all and start over with the hopes it would be fixed and it was. Over all its a great device for older technology. If your Eyes can't handle the crispness of the retina display like my brother in-law then this should work out perfect for you.

This works perfectly with my new PC. It saves my data and backups with no issues. Only thing I did not like was that the dock does not remove like It did on the BackUp Plus drives. This was on sale for 30 dollars cheaper than BackUp plus so I went with this one.

Will this Seagate External Hard drive be compatible with Mac also?

I am not 100 percent sure but I am 80% certain this will work on a Mac as long as it is formatted to the HFS+ format in Disk Utility. I have used backup Plus drives and many flash drives none were Mac specific and work perfectly. Macs can Support NTFS and FAT32. NTFS is read only on a Mac and FAT32 is a good universal between windows and Mac but is only good if files sizes are 4GB or less.

Looking at this Seagate portable external hard drive. Will this hard drive be compatible if I purchase a new laptop with Windows 8?

Yes, this drive will work perfectly with no issues. It will perform much faster too if your new laptop comes with a 3.0USB port. It also fully backwards compatible if it needs to be used on a 2.0USB port.
