Great graphics. Great simulations. If you loved the first Forza Horizon, you'll like this one. The only problem I had was getting used to the feel and steering of the Xbox One controller. Quite a bit different than the Xbox 360 controller.

Starts out great, but then falls apart

Bluray version - good color saturation, good sound design for the movie. Not a follow-on of The Dead #1 movie, but based on the same concept but taking place in India. Movie starts out great, fast moving and well done. Then it falls apart. Action scenes are filmed in a camera sea-sick mode where they shake the camera to emphasize motion. Made me almost want to loose my cookies a few times. As the movie goes on, it really slows down. I only nodded off twice. The traveling scenes had little or no action. Movie also lacked a Technical director. When you run over a zombie, and your vehicle suffers no damage, why would you leave it and start walking? When will they learn that you can't get 50 shots out of a 7 round magazine? As always, the main actor makes lots of stupid decisions, intended to make the viewer upset at his actions. Like, why would you walk into a group of zombies instead of walking around them? (Railroad track scene). The ending was a big let-down. Spoiler alert - they ended up trapped in an underground room. Why? Is there a The Dead #3? I hope not. The disc comes with Deleted Scenes - (only two of them), where the second deleted scene was blurry. The actual video was blurry. That tends to show that they rushed this movie into production and didn't care about quality at the end. Save your money, wait to watch it when it's free or in the $1.99 bin.

Finally, a Flash Drive NOT full of junk or auto-booting files. It was empty, formatted and ready to go.

Bought this drive as an upgrade to an HP laptop. Cloned the old 500 gig over to this new one. Works as expected. It's only a 5400 RPM drive, which in an old laptop is just fine. Did worry about the warranty period which is only 3 years - Seagate drives used to have a 5 year warranty at one time. Price was O.K., and in-stock at BB.

Watched the 3D version first, for which I experienced some bad motion stuttering & motion blur - don't know if it was a fault in my 240 Hz 3D TV, active glasses, or the movie. Humor and "jokes" in the movie were overdone, bad and childish. Movie was full of technical inaccuracies, and CGI wasn't as good as it could have been. They must not have had a Technical Director on this movie. Example - movie starts out with Spiderman falling from an extreme height - way above the city, and higher than any of the buildings. He must have jumped out a plane? The list goes on.... Overall, still worth watching for the entertainment value.

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.

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.
