Great transfer for a classic
on August 19, 2022
Posted by: Bender
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of my favorite Kubrick films. Kino Lorber did a fantastic job restoring this one in 4k, which comes as no surprise given their track record with older films the last 5 years or so

With his wife requiring a six-figure surgery, veteran William Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) saw no other out than to join his career criminal adoptive brother Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal) on a brazen bank heist. When the job went sideways, they opted to carjack an ambulance for escape-and found unwilling passengers in an EMT (Eiza Gonzalez) and the very cop they wounded. Michael Bay's nail-biting redo of a 2005 Danish thriller co-stars Garret Dillahunt, A Martinez, Devan Long. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

One of the best 4ks
on August 19, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Easily one of the best looking/sounding 4k films you will ever watch. The movie is a blast, reminds me a lot of Speed. Once it gets started, it never slows down. Great flick

Great transfer

Always had a soft spot for this one. While not as classic as the original, this one is pretty fun, especially the third act. Shout/Scream Factory did a great job with this 4k transfer

One of the Year's Best
on June 10, 2022
Posted by: Bender
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of the year's best movies in what is sure to be one of the year's best 4k transfers. Robert Eggers' new film is arguably his best yet, featuring incredible cinematography and an unhinged performance from Alexander Skarsgaard. Definitely a must-see

Great steelbook, but hate the stacked 4k discs
on June 7, 2022
Posted by: Bender
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really wish Universal would stop stacking their 4k discs with these steelbooks (did the same with the Jurassic Park collection). Otherwise a great looking steelbook - always love the matte finish - and will save me some real space on my shelves

Glad I snagged one
on June 3, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Solid movie, though still not my favorite Spidey flick. Good 4k transfer, but as with all Marvel movies, Disney doesn't put much effort into them and there's really not a huge difference in the blu-ray and 4k. This one went quick so I'm glad I got mine to keep with the others

A determined Texas Ranger (Nick Nolte) out to stop drug smuggling across the border... his childhood friend (Powers Boothe), now a romantic rival and notorious cokerunner... a paramilitary force run by a renegade major (Michael Ironside) on a mysterious mission... they're on an explosive collision course in this all-out actioner from director Walter Hill. Maria Conchita Alonso, Rip Torn, Clancy Brown, William Forsythe also star. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Finally!
on June 3, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Arguably the most underrated and forgotten 80s action flick. Extreme Prejudice is one of Walter Hill's best films and features an all-star 80s cast. This is still my favorite Nick Nolte

My favorite Batman movie yet
on June 3, 2022
Posted by: Bender
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the Batman film I've waited for my whole life to see. Christopher Nolan's trilogy is absolutely incredible, and The Dark Knight is one of my all-time favorite movies, but as far as BATMAN movies go, this movie absolutely nails it. The steelbook is gorgeous and the 4k transfer is one of the best I've seen. This really puts my OLED to the test. Watched this movie multiple times and am currently working through the extras. Can't recommend enough

Pleasantly surprised

Verified Purchase:Yes
Incredible set. I was expecting these steelbooks to be in another flimsy cardboard box like the Indiana Jones collection was. But this is actually housed in a solid, very nice-looking box. The steelbooks look great and I am a huge fan of this franchise. Hope they continue this trend with the suit steelbooks. Also hard to beat for the price

Turn your powerline into a high-speed network with this TP-LINK AV600 Nano TL-PA4010KIT kit, which features compatibility with HomePlug AV, 802.3 and 802.3u Internet standards and a data transfer rate of up to 600 Mbps. AES encryption protects your data.
 

So if I have a PlayStation 4 I can plug this thing into the wall and use a Lan cable and connect the cable to this device and the other end to my PlayStation? Because if that would be much needed.

Yes. I had this plugged into my Xbox One (and now my Series X) and it works perfectly

Instantly expand the peak speed capacity of the most-powerful gaming experience Xbox has ever created with the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S. Effortlessly compatible with the Xbox Velocity Architecture, experience the fastest load times and most dynamic worlds~even improving the overall performance of thousands of Original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games. The ultimate power, speed, and compatibility is now at your fingertips.
 

First time using one of these is it best to install the Game on the Console (Even if it’s the first one ) or this the NVME SSD first or always so long as there’s room on it ?

I used up my internal SSD storage first (well, up to about 90%) then started downloading to the Seagate, there's no difference whatsoever on how games play, which is nice. It's literally just an extra TB of storage for your Series X/S

Is the read and write speed of these cards the same as the Internal ssd

The exact same. Played Gears 5 off of the SSD, then transferred it to the Seagate and played it, no difference whatsoever.

Will this drive be able to be setup and used as an external Media Drive to play Personal Media instead of Formatted for Extra Storage to play Games?

It doesn't seem like it. Seagate seems to have built this solely with the Xbox Series X/S in mind

I currently have a Series S and may upgrade to a Series X in the next year or two. If I download and store a bunch of games on this drive will I be able to plug and play this in to a new Series X? Or will I have to format it and start all over again?

Yes. Same slot is on both the Series X and S. Transfer your games from your Expansion card over to the X should be almost instantaneous.
