Bought this at a very great price when Best Buy had it on sale. Used a BB Rewards certificate, Gamers Club, and only had to come up with a $1. and change. Not a bad deal for a new game with the extras included. Been so focused with Destiny, its difficult to start a new game .

Opened up the box and was wowed by the totally awesome graphic detail. The question is should I use it ? cause all sorts of wear and tear, or buy one of the display stands and show it off. Best Buy had this limited blue version, Microsoft also offered a very limited production green version that is very awesome.

Verified Purchase:Yes
My son gave me his original Destiny game since he purchased TheTaken King edition to go beyond level 32. Since he already purchased the 1st & 2nd DLC he didn't need the download codes gave them to me to use. Well it took me less than a week & a half to level up to 32. Had to upgrade to The Taken King to continue to level up. I passed the game on to one of my co-workers son with the DLC packs to pass on the gift. This game has been an absolute blast.

Halo

I've been playing Halo since the early 360 days. Purchased the Halo Chief collection fall of 2014 for my new Xbox one. Big difference in the graphics & game play on the Xbox one, you could even reset the graphics back to the original format . I missed out on the Beta release of Halo 5, the downfall of going on vacation. Just starting with the gameplay since purchasing. Will update as the game progresses.

I was glad to be one of the few successful purchasers of the SteelBook version of this movie. My local store didn't receive very many copies. The challenge is now finding the first 2 movies in the SteelBook version. They are becoming difficult to find.

It has happened. The end of times is near, and hordes of the undead search for the living with brainless, relentless persistence. The city lies in ruins, and everywhere you turn, you see gore and destruction. You wander the city of Los Perdidos and every beat of your heart, every breath you suck in and every step you take is in an unending pursuit of survival. It's only a matter of time until the military swoops in and wipes the entire city, and everyone in it, off the map. So, while you're here, you've got to contend with swarms of zombies ~ but ultimately to survive, you have to get out.Prepare yourself for the next generation of zombie-slaying thrills in this third installment of the blockbuster Dead Rising series that features the stunning visuals made possible by your Xbox One. Overwhelming hordes of zombies with plenty of detailed gore are coming your way ~ and while they feature tons of variation, they also have a shared awareness that will make it that much more difficult to survive. Luckily, as you explore the massive open-world environment of Los Perdidos, you can pick up anything and everything and make it into a weapon. With hundreds of potential weapon combinations, it's up to you to decide how you want to end each and every brain-eating walker. Get ready to enhance your Dead Rising 3 experience with this Apocalypse Edition, which features four DLC packs and a bonus digital item. Dive into the zombie-slaying action with exhilarating side stories, new missions, weapons, vehicles, outfits and more with the Operation Broken Eagle, Fallen Angel, Chaos Rising and The Last Agent DLC packs. See if you have what it takes to lay waste to the zombie hordes and make it out alive.

A sprawling metropolis in the not-so-distant future. Premise: A catastrophic event has left the city in ruins and most of its inhabitants are either dead or have been transformed into horrifying mutants. For most people, being dropped down into these kinds of circumstances would mean certain death. Not only are you fighting for survival in a postapocalyptic city, but you're attempting to escape the nightmarish transformation that has claimed most of the survivors. Good thing you're not like most people.Dive into the open-world shooter of Sunset Overdrive, and prove that you've got what it takes to survive catastrophe. With a knack for traversing the ruined city with hyper agility, it's a simple matter to survive postapocalyptic conditions. When it comes to the mutants, not only are you escaping their transformation, but you've found your true calling ~ mutant destroyer. A fully loaded arsenal of overpowered weapons back you up and make it totally clear that the end of days is just the beginning for you. It's your turn to star in this end-of-the-world storyline.

Hello, do you offer any laptops/notebook computers with Windows XP (any version)?thanks

Hate to inform you that Windows XP is dead - all versions have been dropped from Microsoft support. My employer removed Windows 7 Pro from all of our PC's because the Electronic Records system we had only was supported by Windows XP Pro. When the support was lost, both software systems had to be upgraded. Back to Win 7 Pro. We had quite the mess for a while. Doesn't mean you can't use XP, but I doubt it will function well on a newer pc with no support.

MacBook Pro features Intel's latest quad core processor, the core i5 processor, for a boost in processor and memory speeds. New next-generation graphics deliver performance levels that are up to 60 percent faster than before. And high-speed Thunderbolt I/O lets you transfer data at rates up to 10 GBps. The MacBook Pro is a great computer that just got even greater.
 

will this work (bluetooth) with my apple TV; my older MacAir would not, nor could it be connected via HDMI

I would also like to confirm that I could play my DVD's via the onboard burner? and then put them up on my big screen. Would that be hardwired HDMI or Bluetooth?
I also have an external DVD burner. Will these ports drive that? Again, I was told that even the new MacAir would not do that as they are not powered ports and most DVD's require that?
Macs & Apple TV will communicate via AirPlay, it is an App available through Apple web site. Any movie I have purchased through iTunes or burned to Mpeg4 format & placed on my iTunes is viewable through AirPlay. Completely wireless, but the Mac has to be turned on for it to work.

I am looking for a macbook pro 15" screen with 512mb video card

I dont see this offered on your site but have seen them with the 512mb memory elsewhere. Do you sell this model?
Save yourself some money and buy the MacBook Pro with the smaller SSD. You can store a ton of data on a external portable drive, a 1-2 TB is a fraction of the price compared to the upgrade price of an Apple SSD. I swapped out the factory HDD in my 15" MacBook Pro to a Samsung 512mb SSD. The transfer of the OS , all my data, removal of the old HDD and installation of the SSD took about 45 minutes. Apple has an excellent built in data migration tool. I don't know why, but Apple charges a premium price for the same upgrade products you and I can buy over the counter at Best Buy. I upgraded the factory memory modules with Samsung 8gb memory modules from Best Buy, I was surprised to find Samsung memory in the bay. Don't get me wrong, I love my Macs. I own a MacPro too.

I dread going to work having to deal with those other PC's

Can I have upgrade a MacBook Air from 4gb to 8gb

Gail ;
Your best bet is to go to the Apple web site & look up the MacBook Air product support. I only own the MacBook Pro & have upgraded from the factory 4gb to 8gb only to find out that there has been success with installing 2 8gb modules for 16gb total. Apple did not openly publish this.
MacBook Pro's allow you to remove the bottom of the laptop case by removing 7 screws & gently removing. Allows access to the hard drive," in your case MacBook Air has Flash Drive" & the memory modules.
there is a lot of forums to google for assistance.

My MacBook Pro's Startup Disc is completely maxed out.

My MacBook Pro's startup disc is completely maxed out. I have been too busy to move files to external storage. Now I can't open it up to see to see the Finder. What should I do now?
Don;
You didn't provide any information regarding the size of your current HDD size. You will have to upgrade to a HDD with a larger capacity. Mac's have a really nice disk utility within OSX that has worked well for me. You will need a 2.5" external HDD enclosure & a 2.5" HDD larger than what you currently have. The process is really easy, there are some nice Mac forums to Google. Be sure to backup your Mac files using Time Machine to an external HDD. I admit that I am very bias to Western Digital HDD's, But I prefer the quality of the Samsung Pro series SSD when I use a solid state HDD
