This game is technically very impressive. However, it has many things going against it (IMHO).
The story is weak and is beatable in a couple of hours. The multiple fighting styles just make the characters convoluted. I don't feel like learning more than a single character....
Finally, the "magic" - nor the humor - of the original games (1-3) just isn't there.
Pretty bland, gory, and overall just another average title.
Not terrible, but didn't hold my interest for very long. For the avid fighter, however, this could be a "must buy".
Just not my cup of tea...
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Magic Trackpad has always been a dependable Apple accessory. It works just as good as the track pads in the MacBooks themselves, I'd say.
The only thing is that it drains the batteries super fast...so make sure you get yourself some rechargeable batteries!

The 3 port USB 3.0 ports (super-speed) worked right out if the box.
I would give this 5 stars except it's almost impossible to find the driver to make the Ethernet work and the customer service was HORRENDOUS (talking to you, Belkin!). Had to find the driver from the original micro-controller website via my own research (Belkin never called me back and it was very polite).
More details: The USB Ethernet requires drivers for any OS except Win 8.1 (or so they claim).
Driver did not come in box but points you to website. Unfortunately, the driver is unavailable on the site. After hunting for 30 minutes, I spoke with a Belkin CS Agent who - after putting me on hold for another 30 minutes - said their elite department would be in touch within 24 hours. NEVER HEARD FROM BELKIN!
After doing my own internet research, I found the micro-controller site of the chip they use....
I downloaded the driver for Mac OSX and voila! Works perfect now! (no thanks to Belkin)
For those of you interested, here's the site to find drivers for this device:
http://www.asix.com.tw
Look for USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet on the left and follow the links to the driver page. They have drivers for every OS imaginable!

What's great about it: Great price, I love Best Buy! The are absolutely my favorite place to go, being in their store always has great vibe
What's not so great: Nothing yet that I can see
I purchased the Novation Ultranova at Best Buy just a few weeks ago. The staff was very helpful, the price was unbeatable.
Support your local Best Buy if you can! They treat their customers with respect, are very knowledgeable, and they clearly show this consistently through any store throughout the U.S.

What is output current for each port?

Need to know output current for each port on this hub. 2A on each port? 2A total, split between whatever ports are in use? Want to be able to charge 3 or 4 devices simultaneously, and don't know if this can handle them all at once.
It will handle charging an iPhone 5 while a G-Drive and an Ultra Slim WD are attached.

However, it will not charge one iPad Retina. It's important to note that this doesn't have an external power supply. Very compact. So its main duty is for plugging in multiple USB 3.0 (or 2.0).

Again, though, it does charge my iPhone 5 no problem.
