I bought this HDD to use with my Xbox One and I thought that it worked fine for the first couple of months. One day it just wouldn't read. The whole time the HDD took it's time to load games and apps but I thought that was normal since this is a 5400rpm external drive. Boy was I wrong!
I'm fortunate that I bought the extended warranty from BestBuy so I took it back and bought a Seagate external HDD instead. The Seagate is also 5400rpm but its superfast. That is when I realized that there was something wrong with the Western Digital from the get go. The only reason I went with the WD is because it was on sale when I bought it but paying the few extra bucks was worth it. Love the Seagate on my Xbox One. Don't buy this junk.

It does what it says it does

I bought this remote control because my wife doesn't like using the Xbox One controller to navigate the system. It definitely does what it says it does. I must say that I was surprised on how slick it looks and it's pretty self explanatory. It navigates the system pretty well and thought the way it navigates internet explorer was pretty clever. However, there are no numbers and no "keyboard" button that would let you type the channel that you want to watch. You have to hit the "oneguide" button on the controller and scroll to whatever channel you want to watch. Also, for some reason the remote doesn't communicate with the Youtube App. I've tested it with all other apps and it works so not sure what is the deal with youtube. The cost is another issue. I'm not sure that it is worth $25...I think $15-$20 should be more like it. That being said, it is pretty handy for those that want to navigate through the system #minus youtube# without using voice commands, game controllers, or keyboards.

What's not so great: Channel change and doesn't work with youtube

Best multiplayer FPS to date
on March 12, 2014

I have played COD, BF, halo, Killzone, borderlands, etc and have to say that this is the best multiplayer FPS to date. The combination of jet packs and wall running make things faster and smoother. I love the fact that you are always exposed which I'm sure many people that like to camp really hate. The titans are pretty cool too. It feels good when you step on another player or when you take down another titan. You also feel strong as a soldier as you can do your best to hide and use your anti-titan guns to take one down. The ejection from a titan is also well done. This is exactly what a next gen shooter should look and feel like. Don't let the haters deviate you from making the purchase. You will have a lot of fun.
I know a lot of people are complaining about the price since it doesn't have a campaign but you'll be playing this game for hours. Maybe a lot more than any single player games (many are 15 hours long). That being said, I dont understand how Respawn is already selling a season pass when they could have incorporated a few more maps and guns to this release. That's why I'm giving it 4.5 out of 5.

This is one of the best games that I have played. I particularly like the special ops mode when you can tag with a friend and play all these different type of missions in different environments. This game is challenging for sure, specially when playing in veteran. The story mode is about 5-6 hours long but you will be enjoying special ops and online play for hrs. Its definitely worth the $60 bucks.
What's great about it: Story, graphics, challenging
What's not so great: No co-op in story mode

This is classic SF, even the storylines suck. All the old school characters are there as well as some new ones. It's a great game and a lot of fun. I particularly like the online option where you can battle in ranked and unranked matches. Buy it, you won't regret it.
What's great about it: graphics, gameplay, all around fun
What's not so great: bruises your thumb
