Your garden has saved you once already from a massive horde of fun-loving zombies in the original Plants vs. Zombies. Those creepy, brain-seeking beings jumped the fence at the edge of your yard, limped toward your house and met their match ~ your loyal yet incredibly unlikely army of petaled and leafy friends. Now the tattered monsters are back for more. Try your hand at ultimate garden warfare ~ and sow the seeds of victory once and for all.The eternal struggle between plants and zombies rages on. In this fast-paced third-person shooter, you choose between Zombies or Plants, and mercilessly beat up on the opposite team with the multitude of weapons at your disposal. Explosives, landmines...nothing is out of bounds in this battle royale. Customize Zombies and Plants alike with hundreds of unique items and a huge variety of new abilities. Duke it out on more than 10 dazzling multiplayer and cooperative battlefields. Battle it out in 24-player online combat or team up with up to three of your friends and annihilate the enemy in four-player online co-op. Experience the zombie-zapping excitement on your Xbox One with exclusive modes, including split-screen offline co-op and Boss Mode with SmartGlass and Kinect gameplay that allow you to take down the enemy from Crazy Dave's RV or the Zomboss' blimp. Haven't you ever wondered what it's like to be a sunflower tasked with eliminating the undead once and for all?

Great mindless game!

This has got to be one of the best time killers for Xbox One, when it's working. Popcap Games did a great job mocking all of our current military shooters. The game is over the top, and silly; which is a nice change of pace. I find myself laughing when I die, and not ready to throw the controller.
On the darker side of this game, its an always online game, which means you need to have Xbox Live even to play by yourself. It also runs on EA servers, which means that you will encounter a lot of the same connection issues you have experience on BF4. Couch co-op seems like it was tacked on, and does not offer a true couch co-op experience, like on games like COD, Gears of War, Halo, Borderlands, etc. Only one person can be logged in at a time, so the second player doesn't get any experience points at all. Also you can't do split screen multiplier.
Overall great game for $40, even less if you are in Gamers Club Unlocked which you get an extra 20% off of new games. Couch co-op was a let down, and was not detail enough before the game released. I say great first effort for Popcap Games, but next time I expect a full couch co-op experience. Next time I will not be as understanding, I promise you!

In my business, PC always break at the worst moments. In this case at the end of the day, when you are pass the shipping cutoff time, and nothing will be shipped until the next day. Best Buy happened to have this in stock and ready to go. It was plug and play for a Dell Optiplex 330, everything mounted up perfectly!

Awesome Wireless keyboard and mouse.

Needed a wireless keyboard, and mouse for the new conference room, and this fit the bill. Wireless adapter is very small, and allowed me to just plug it directly into the front of the computer (easy access), 10 seconds later keyboard and mouse was working, and never had to install any drivers off the disk. I love when things just work.

Use the convenient controls of this wireless presenter to help you make your point. Intuitive buttons are easy to find by touch and feel great in your hand for better control. Laser pointer allows your audience to see exactly what you're pointing to. The 2.4 GHz wireless allows you to enjoy the freedom to move around the room and mingle with your audience for greater impact. Battery indicator lets you know how much power is available with just a glance. Plug-and-play wireless receiver requires no additional software to install.

Logitech make great products, and this provides lots of bang for your buck. Item is nice and sturdy, and seems to be built pretty tough. It's nice to be able to be mobile while giving presentations.

Cash for digital cash, does exactly what it says. If you don't like linking your credit card to you Microsoft accounts, this is the way to go!

What's great about it: Nice way to add money to Xbox Live account, and not use credit card.
What's not so great: I wish they could use a QR code, so you don't have to type in the code.
