![Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy [6 Discs/Blu-ray] (Blu-ray Disc)](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/1870/18701749.jpg)

Back to Future came out when I was kid, but it was aired a lot on cable and tv...so maybe that is why I am fond of this trilogy.
I've seen the first two so far - and the quality is just right. They cleaned up the movie well; and didn't do it a point where they over-polished it like Predator.
If you're expecting cutting edge special effects don't hold your breath - The graphics are dated - but aside from that to see a lot of the set, characters, and details of the movie that were lost from the screen and over time is amazing.
Extras wise...there's a ton! If you are thinking about buying this set, by all means do.

What's great about it: 3 80s- early 90s films. A great way to bring back some memories.
What's not so great: The case. Be VERY careful removing the Discs. The case clips are bit irrating to get the blu-ray out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This game was initially announced about two to three years ago? Initial test shots showed the capabilities of the PS3 to proccess and render the game at such a level that very few games at the time could do, (and if I'mm correct there are still few games which draw on the PS3's full capabilities.) from there Square-Enix developed the game ensuring that the graphic quality would be on par through cut scenes as well.
There is a slight difference between cut scene quality and game play, but it really is not that noticabe.
Every part of the game is rendered beautifully cities which you pass through during the chapters don't look pre-rendered and fake, or as an afterthought.
Game play wise: For the Final Fantasy fan it is definitely a mindless button masher, but immediately it weens you off as it offers you more options while you play through. I believe the first 3 or so chapters are tutorials weeved into the story to ensure you understand what to do during your battles, and what upgrades for your characters. This is for the first approximate 15 to 30 hours (depending on fast you run through the chapters avoiding trivial enemy encounters and only focusing on the forced fights that progress the story.)
After that you are given your full ability to mess with your characters, and whom you desire to use (as the first 30 hours is mainly important to establish the characters and their motivations so you're forced to use certain ones at certain times [which also allows the player to get used to each characer])
This leads up to the challenge of the game: you can definitely avoid minor encounters with ease, but you may pay for it later with lack of experience to progress pass some of harder batles ahead.
If you avoid too many of the minor battles you will lose out on some treasure, but more importantly you will not have experience to reach critial abilities which are required to beat the important enemies...
Outisde of that little quirk, Final Fantasy XIII is a game worthy of the Final Fantasy name and the price.

What's great about it: Graphics, Music, cut scenes
What's not so great: light lag between cut scene and battles, a little linear experience upgrades for characters
