A Must-Have for your collection

Includes all 14 Episodes - 11 aired and 3 never before aired. For those that loved this series, this package of three Bluray discs is a must-have. What also is included on disc one is Serenity parts 1&2 - not to be confused with the later release of "Serenity". (A different 2 hour movie extension of this series).

Great action game, great sound and video effects. Lots of action. Plays great on an Xbox One. There are still a few bugs in the program where you can fall through the map upon spawning - even though the game has taken multiple updates. Just find a place to crawl out of the "under sea" map, and then you'll be fine. Also purchased the Battlefield 4 Premium Edition upgrade - was on sale for awhile on Xbox Live. The upgrade worked O.K., but took days for the Stats and bonus packages to be reflected online and on their web site. The only complaint from me is that you can be thrown into matches where the other players are at million-level ranking....

Great tank movie - if it wasn't for the slow parts where they held up in a building getting dinner served to them That's the only part that ruined the movie. Too much movie time spent there versus time that should have been spent blowing tanks away. Great special effects - realistic tank hits. Great sound effects.
The ending came at no surprise, you kind of expected this at the end. Overall, a very good movie and worth watching.

In stock at the local Best Buy - which was the most desirable option over mail order. (I needed it now....) Performs as required. Came with the standard three pin connector and the optional 4 pin Molex. Put it in a PC that runs 24x7x365. And comes with replacement fan screws. You can never have enough of them.

Purchased the Limited Edition Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Bundle. It came with a 1TB hard drive, custom console (which means fancy paint job), custom controller. The game that comes with it was a copy of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Day Zero Edition, in addition, it include a download (DLC) for the Limited Edition exoskeleton. Note that the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Day Zero Edition is a digital download - no game disc. And at a little more than 50 gigabytes, hopefully you have a good and fast internet service. When powering on the Xbox One, it does have a special power-on sound effect - which for a second it sounded like it was grinding up a game disc. Great graphics. Faster than my old Xbox 360 by far. What is also great is the Xbox Live Gold service - if you already have an Xbox 360 Live Gold account, you can share that 360 account with the Xbox One. Was also able to upload Minecraft 360 maps (to the Microsoft cloud), and then import (download) them into the Xbox One Minecraft version - and make the maps bigger. It does take awhile to get used to the new Xbox One menus - everything (functions, settings, etc.) are in a different places versus the Xbox 360 menus. Great features, well worth the money.

Overall, I give it a "Good" rating. Great realistic graphics and effects. Wish some of the cast of the previous movie were in this one. The movie was slow moving, but did keep my interest. The ending was a disappointment - it left you hanging - because you know that they will be coming out with another follow-on. The bonus material included with the bluray version, is well worth watching. The bonus material includes: Deleted scenes, Journey to Dawn, Andy Serkis: Rediscovering Caesar, Humans and Apes: The cast of Dawn, The World of Dawn, The Ape Community, Move Like an Ape: An Artist's Medium, Weta and Dawn, The Fight for a New Dawn, Audio Commentary by Matt Reeves (the director), Gallery, and Trailers. Running time for the movie is 130 minutes.

Most Entertaining

Lot's of "eye candy". It's great to see a good movie with tons of visual effects, and action scenes that keeps the viewer entertained and glued to the movie. The galactic scenes were stunning, and makes you wish that you were there along for the ride. The amount of humorous dialog was not overdone. The amount of action scenes fit the movie perfectly. But, many of those action scenes moved along a little too fast, too fast to absorb the great special effects. The amount of humorous dialog was not overdone. This movie definitely deserves a second and/or third watch through.

Good entertainment for the $$

Continues where Dead Snow #1 left off. Good special effects - lots of blood, squirting blood, squishing and gore. And new uses for human intestines! Hilarious from the start, which keep me entertained. Lots of unexpected moments, which you don't see coming until too late. Don't want to mention any of those here - don't want to spoil it for you. Great Zombie action, Zombie versus Zombie action, and well done Zombie acting. Overall, a very watchable and entertaining movie. Bluray version 101 minutes long, 16:9 widescreen format. The original film (Dead Snow #1) was in Norwegian, but on this Bluray Collectors version, the movie is in English. The bonus features on this Collector's Edition include the Norwegian language version, found under the extras as Dod Sno 2 (1:40:54, 2.39:1 1080p, Norwegian and French Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks). Norwegian language version includes English subtitles, and the Zombies speaking German. Rated "R" for violence and gore. Note: Best Buy won't let me use the word N_a_ z_ i in this review - but these are N_a_ z_i Zombies in the movie. It got flagged for inappropriate language. Why? The word is in the movie Synopsis on the BB site.

The art of war may be thousands of years old, but on the battlegrounds of the future combat has become a big business. Where men and women once stood in defense of their nation the employees of Private Military Corporations (PMCs) are deployed, armed with the latest technologies and an arsenal of advanced weapons. Soldiers no longer need to specialize in any area of combat — equipped with powerful exoskeletons, they become the masters of all battlefield skills. In this new age of privatized combat, one PMC stands at the forefront of the industry, the juggernaut Atlas Corporation. Founded and led by Jonathan Irons, perhaps the most powerful man in the world, Atlas Corporation represents the evolution of modern combat. Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders. Do you have what it takes to navigate this ever-changing military landscape and answer the Call of Duty?The latest installment in the popular combat series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare plunges you into the combat of the future, orchestrated and fought by PMCs with the latest technology in armor, weaponry and tactics. Enter the world of Jonathan Irons — the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation — in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility. Attack enemy forces with tried-and-true standard ammunition or step up your assault with new directed-energy weapons. The future of war is upon you — are you ready to play your part?

Excellent graphics. Great look and feel. Most realistic COD game so far. Great campaign mode, which for me I should have played all the way thru first before trying online multiplayer. New weapons and controls took me longer to get used to and master.
AS for a "zombie" mode, I have not gotten far enough enough into the game to verify the following:
"Currently, zombies only appear in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare following a good bit of work. Players will need to play the Exo-Survival co-op mode until you complete all four difficulty tiers and unlock Riot mode. Once Riot mode is unlocked, you need to complete eleven waves. After the last wave is complete, a “DNA bomb” will go off and unleash a horde of zombies for the twelfth wave."
Additional Zombie action is supposed to be in future DLC.

There is so little in-game help now, that this game guide book fills the need. In the game Destiny, I couldn't figure out the Ability Modifiers, Armory advantages, etc. Maps are great. Better off buying the guide and taking time getting into the details. Well worth the money.

Store up to 5TB of media on this Seagate Backup Plus STDT5000100 external hard drive, which features Protect, Save and Share features that enable simple integration with social networking sites and provide comprehensive data management.
 

Is Seagate 5TB external hard drive compatable with Windows XP OS?

Does the Seagate Backup Plus 5TB desktop external hard drive work with the Windows XP USB 2.0 service pack 2 operating system?
I would say "Kinda Maybe" for the following reasons - #1. The drive comes with a USB 3.0 cable & an external power adapter, so you don't have to worry about pulling power from your USB ports. #2. The Specs posted on the Seagate site say Win 7 and higher: (Mac OS X 10.7 or higher or Windows 8, Windows 7 operating system). But there is no reason why it shouldn't work (On XP with USB 2.0).
The drive is supposed to be USB 2.0 compatible, but if you used it on a 2.0 connection, you'll be feeling the pain real quick in USB's 2.0 terribly slow transfer rates. Don't even invest in this unless you have USB 3.0.
As for XP SP2, it would be a "Maybe Not". Try downloading a copy of SP3 and install that first.
I wouldn't put up with the pain of XP and USB 2.0.

Easily store important documents, special photos and more with this Seagate internal hard drive that features a 1TB capacity and a Serial ATA interface for easy connectivity. QuietStep technology ensures quiet operation.
 

will this hard drive fit my hp g7-1338dx

Yes. the hp g7-1338dx uses a SATA drive, the 1TB is SATA. The hp g7-1338dx came with a max size of 750 gig, so if you can clone the drive directly over, you can use any spare drive space on the new drive to make another partition.
