 Need for Speed: Rivals Standard Edition - Xbox One
Need for Speed: Rivals Standard Edition - Xbox One
Are you a go-getting risk-taker who loves to live on the edge and reap the rewards of high-stakes gambling? Or are you a live-by-the-rules, stand-up citizen who finds value in upholding the law and protecting your fellow citizens? Regardless of your priorities, Need for Speed: Rivals has a role for you. Strap yourself in and get ready to ride as you take to the streets of Redview County. An all-out war between racers and cops greets you around every corner as you take street racing to the next level with the fastest cars, mods and technology in a gritty open-road environment. Whether you're risking it all to cross the finish line first or using an impressive array of advanced pursuit technology to bust the ne'er-do-wells of Redview County, your need for speed is sure to be satisfied.Get ready for some adrenaline-pumping, high-stakes rivalry as either a lone-wolf racer out for your own glory, or a member of the police force on the hunt to bust the law-breakers. Each side has their own unique set of cars, technology, play styles and careers. Aren't sure which side you fall on? Need for Speed: Rivals allows you to experience them both with a progression system built for each side. The new gambling scoring system lets you decide if you want to wager your speed points to shoot for a higher multiplier and greater rewards, or play it safe and bank your speed points when you return to a hideout. However, easy come, easy go — if you get busted by the cops, they take speed points as a reward. Design the car of your dreams with access to the latest performance upgrades and technology, as well as custom paint jobs, liveries, license plates, rims and decals to show off your personal style. The thrills never stop with fully loaded technology that's customized for each side of the law. Racers can choose evasion technology, such as jammers and electromagnetic pulses, while the police have access to pursuit technology, including shockwaves, roadblocks, helicopter support and more. Frostbite Engine 3 brings it all together with stunning, high-definition, next-generation graphics that bring every detail of the game to life for a breathtaking, high-speed experience you won't forget. Share it with your friends in AllDrive that seamlessly joins your games online or offline, as friends or as rivals, then connect to the Need for Speed network to compare your progress and share pictures of your best races and chases. Experience the thrill of pursuit as well as the excitement of evasion in one game.

What's great about it: Add additional TV's without monthly fee to cable company
What's not so great: Still need to pay fee to Tivo (monthly or lifetime)
The Tivo Mini still has a couple glitches, no Netflix yet, and has rebooted a few times on us. Otherwise it is working as advertised, we turned in the cable boxes on our "extra" TV's, and now have full Tivo features at those sets.

What's great about it: MyDlink web site allows easy remote viewing
What's not so great: Needs wired connection to update firmware
I mounted a few of these cameras around my house, and they work ok. I was running the recording software but it kept crashing the PC it was on so I stopped it. The larger issue is when you get a notice to update the firmware on a camera, it keeps popping up and requires a wired connection to perform. Since I bought these as wireless cameras, they aren't installed near wired connections. It is a real pain to unmount them and connect a wire for the firmware update.
This product has... Adequate viewing area

What's great about it: Shows great potential
What's not so great: Still working out the kinks
The XBox One looks to be a great central player in you entertainment center someday, but that day isn't here yet. Control of other devices works through the Kinect device (mine broke after three weeks). The options for configuring that control are very limited at this time. It won't do anything with a Tivo Mini, but controlled the awful cable company box well. I was hoping for a Logitech Harmony on streroids and got the equivalent of the universal remotes you see at drug store registers instead.

Can you add this to your computer

If you're asking if it can be used as a web cam, no. You need to connect to the camera through a web browser or other special software. Out of the box it will not show up as a camera for Skype or other chat software. Doesn't mean someone could write something to make it work, but it doesn't work out of the box.
