Pretty decent enough

I needed some additional storage for my recently acquired Series X and landed on this particular external drive. Partially because it's supposedly a Black quality drive and came with 2 months of GamePass.
I haven't and couldn't find anything concrete on specs and was a little disappointed when it came to the transfer speeds. I know it's not a SSD, but it copied files only slightly faster than an older 3.5" 5400 rpm HDD I was already using.
On the plus side, this external is very small, light and requires no external power source. I've always had good luck with WD, even though Seagate has comparable drives for slightly less. Time will tell if this holds up. Fingers crossed.
And, although it's "branded" as Xbox, this could just as easily be used with a PlayStation or PC.

Secure complete footage of vehicular incidents with this Insignia Full HD dual dash camera. The 1080p rear-facing and front cameras capture detailed events at different perspectives, and the G-force sensor supports automatic recording upon impact. This Insignia Full HD dual dash camera has a built-in microphone to record audio details of important moments.

Much better than the alternatives

Bought a new car for the first time in my life and knew I needed a dash cam.
Most of what I found on other sites were no-name, strangely direction-ed cameras that had a ton of mixed reviews. Even the best ones didn't last for more than 6 months before corrupting the memory card or just refusing to record anymore.
After nearly 7 months, this Insignia Dash Cam has hung in there. Never had an issue or ruined a memory card or really acted up in any way. Upon review, the image clarity is fantastic and doesn't require any weird software to view/replay.
If you're looking for a camera for your new or old car, I wholeheartedly recommend this Insignia. Just install it and forget about it.

The misery of addiction in UHD
on November 29, 2020
Posted by: Sholt21
Verified Purchase:Yes
Requiem is now 20 years from release and that makes me feel super old. However, the PQ for this 4K is quite impressive, owing to the fact that cinematography has a timeless look and feel. From a technical point of view, it's merits are right up there with recent releases, but the content is where most people will have pause. This film holds nothing back while we watch 4 lives circle the drain, either by intention or coincidence. I'm the type who, if I had never seen this movie, would blind buy this just to see what all the fuss is about. Unfortunately, I would suggest only fans pick this up and everyone else to rent it first.

Seasonic's engineers have implemented a design feature, where instead of cables; the back panel and the PCB are connected by a copper plate. This breakthrough solution not only lowers the chance of production errors during manual insertion but it also improves output power quality. Advanced three-phased thermal control achieves optimal between silence and cooling. High-performance fans are designed to take advantage of the impact absorbency effects of oil. They are extremely reliable and generate considerably less operating noise and heat than ball bearing fans. The lubrication of the bearing surface reduces friction and vibration and therefore lowers overall power consumption.

Moar powah!!!

So far, so very, very good.
I do not like replacing power supplies in my 'puter. The stress is right up there with a new mobo and cpu. But, after all was said and done, when I hit the power button, my system started right back up and has, so far, run beautifully. Actually, some of my components/drives seems somewhat faster, probably owing to the fact that I was putting strain on my previous 650w from 8 years ago. We'll see how how it handles my new RTX3000, when it's finally installed.
Anyway, the 10 year warranty is certainly a plus and Seasonic are know for quality units, so I'm not too worried.

Late to the party? No problem. The ultimate way to celebrate the Super Mario Party game is here. This set includes both the Super Mario Party game and a set of Joy-Con controllers in neon green and neon yellow. There's no better way to enjoy the variety of modes, including the original 4-player Mario Party series board game, and 80 new mini games packed with different challenges and clever uses of Joy-Con controllers.

Good-ish

Verified Purchase:Yes
Really, the best thing about this is the packaging of the Joy-Cons with the game. Never hurts to have an extra pair around for when you have people over and the price is a bargain for both game and controllers.
The game though...
It's just not nearly as enjoyable as some of the previous Mario Parties. Most times, winning or losing feels completely based on luck and the A.I. seems frequently very fortunate.

Nintendo has always done mini game collections well, in my opinion, as I'm especially fond of the WarioWare games, but they missed the mark with Mario Party Switch.

Buy for the Special Feature film, if nothing else
on January 11, 2020
Posted by: Sholt21
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not that there is anything wrong with this release, as the picture and sound are good, but there is a better bluray for Halloween II, made by Scream Factory, out there.
However, this particular version has an almost feature length documentary called Terror in the Aisles host by Dr. Loomis himself, yes Donald Pleasance, that came out sometime in the mid 80s. It's very entertaining and was never released on dvd in the US, as far as I know, so this is the only way to see it unless you happen to still have a vcr lying around.
Either way, this 30th Anniversary edition is always cheap and easy to find around Halloween and the doc is worth the price alone.

I REALLY like the sequel
on January 11, 2020
Posted by: Sholt21
Verified Purchase:Yes
Unpopular opinion, perhaps, but I think Halloween II is pretty great. Sure it's not as novel as the original, but it feels like a direct continuation of the original, tone, pacing and all. Some sequels try to stand out or take it up a notch, but Two feels like we're still watching One, but the very extended cut. The ending is a bit much, I admit and probably the reason they went a different and not well received direction by excluding Michael Myers from it. This bluray has very decent video/sound quality and the special features are great for people who want behind the scenes info.

The PQ is good, but uneven
on January 11, 2020
Posted by: Sholt21
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was a huge fan of The VVitch when it came to theaters, but was very surprised when a 4K was announced. A small indie horror film getting the UHD treatment must've meant the demand for the new format was ramping up and people wanted to see Robert Eggers' film in all it's glory.
And it does look better. Much, much better, but still there's some sort of issue with the HDR where it fluctuates in the middle of scenes that were more evenly lit. The Bluray never had this issue. I know because I popped the old disc in as soon as I finished watching this new 4k and did a side by side with another tv.
This fluctuation only happens twice or so, but to someone who's watched the film as many times as I have, it was still very noticeable. Other than that minor issue. The new disc is definitely recommended.

It's an interesting experience

Hideo Kojima. The Metal Gear Solid legacy.
UPS/Fed Ex: The Game.
I couldn't explain the story if I had a whole page, but the gameplay, at it's most basic, is planning a route through a kind of post apocalyptic America and delivering packages without dropping or ruining them. Mind you, nothing exists as if would in any sort of reality we know, but there is a certain hook and strategic element that will keep you grinding until the next plot point.
Honestly, you really have to play it to understand and hopefully appreciate it. If you're open-minded, pick this up. If not, wait for a sale, but at least try it.

A better than good accessory

Verified Purchase:Yes
Rose Gold may have been a mistake, but this Smart Watch was just what I needed. Pulling out and putting my phone back into my pocket, near constantly throughout the day is a first world problem, but still lest than ideal, especially if/when you drop it. Sometimes in the bathroom. Ew.
Logically, this bridges the gap between minor inconvenience and and possibly ruining your phone. The interface is simple, yet intuitive and the battery is sufficient. So, if you have the specific needs I do, grab one of these. Maybe in a different color, but that's up to you.

I didn't check the expiration dates and no longer have the paper for the Game Pass codes, but mine activated just fine.
