I had both the previous model and the new duraflex model and I can state beyond a reason of a doubt that this new flexible version is better. The previous model use the scratch easily and would in turn make the system look unsightly which defeated the purpose of the case. The new flexible model looses only slight clarity but makes up for it in much better durability, Both models fit well on the system and have more or less the same hand feel but I would easily give this new flexible model the win.

Since the New Nintendo 3DS XL maxs out at 32gb, this stick is a little bit of overkill as its speeds far exceed the systems capability. I did test it on my computer though and I can tell you that its is indeed fast and would work great with a phone or tablet.

 Rocksmith 2014 Edition - PlayStation 4
Rocksmith 2014 Edition - PlayStation 4
They say for most people that doing is learning — being told how to do something, or even shown, isn't nearly as effective as jumping right in and giving it a try for yourself. Learning to play the guitar certainly applies to this principle, and hands-on, on-the-go sessions are the most effective way to elevate your skills. Whether you're a novice picking up the guitar for the very first time or an old hand fine-tuning your technique, Rocksmith gets you results fast, by putting the guitar in your hands, plugging into your console and getting the party started. Rocksmith 2014 Edition takes the same proven methods of the original edition and enhances them for a fruitful learning experience that will soon have you riffing with the best of 'em.Newly designed for an enriched, re-imagined experience, Rocksmith 2014 Edition features new menus and in-game interfaces for clear, smooth and blazing-fast learning. Receive feedback and play along with more than 50 hit tracks, from alternative rock to heavy metal to classic rock and more. If you own the original Rocksmith, the 2014 Edition is backward compatible with those songs as well for a rich library of tracks you know and love. Designed for ease and speed, the features are more accessible and flexible than ever, allowing you to select your section, difficulty and speed on-the-fly in the fully customizable Riff Repeater mode. Experience a revamped Master mode that is more approachable to learn songs by memory. When you want to ease the pressure a bit, jump over to the Guitarcade for more than 10 mini games that will help you have fun while honing your skills. Session mode lets you experience the feeling of jamming with a band — choose the combination of instruments you want backing you up and following your lead. Showcase your sickest performance with integrated capture and streaming features, which are exclusive to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Rocksmith 2014. Import your existing DLC purchases from your PlayStation 3, so you can grow your music library without having to leave your favorite tunes behind. Become engrossed in the learning process with 1080p high-definition graphics that offer improved clarity and visual quality, which make it easier to follow along. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced axe man, there's always something to learn, and Rocksmith 2014 Edition makes it an enjoyable, worthwhile experience.

I grew up playing several instruments including piano, violin, trumpet, trombone and sax; but I could never got use to playing guitar. While I am far from a pro, this game will help you learn the basics and teach you just like a pro would. I would recommend this game first to learn the basics and than go to a professional if you plan to be amazing as a this game can only take you so far but even that is a huge step.

My son is a huge Lego game fans and so far has beaten: Batman 1,2,&3 ,Marvel Super Heroes, Jurrasic World, Hobbit, LOTR and Harry Potter, Star Wars and more. Yet for some reason this and Batman 3 are his favorite games so far. For me I thought Batman 2 and Marvel Super Heroes where more complete games, but I agree with him that Avengers does have the better fighting mechanics with the inclusion of double team attacks. If your child is a Lego Fan, I would recommend Marvel Super Heroes first and than Avengers so they can get the full experience.

If you are a fan of old school turn based tactical RPGs such as Tactics Orge, Final Tactics Tactics and Vandals Hearts, you will love this game. Art style is a little quirky and can be hit or miss but otherwise this is excellent.,

I purchased these to replace my old Lacie D2 Quadra desktop drive for my mac when I upgraded to a new Retina model with no firewire port. I needed a drive to backup time machine and use as extra storage but I wanted something cheap, USB 3.0 and most importantly quiet. I got this drive on sale and I could not be happier. I had no problem partitioning the drive and I am amazed at how quiet it is. While this drive definitely not a top tier drive (as it is 5400rpm and only a 2.5 drive) I believe the price easily justifies the means and I would highly recommend it.

Amazing sound quality... poor construction

To start, these headphones sound and feel great. The ear cups are large and form fitting which results in headphones that can be worn for several hours with little discomfort. Also, the sound is great with a good mix but a little bass heavy (similar to Beats). These two qualities alone I would recommend the SoundTrue over the comparable Beats. The downfall though is that construction is very flimsy and the audio cord disconnects very easily. The construction is extremely light with a plastic and metal construction that bends too much for my liking. When the ear cups are extended even halfway, the headphones take on this odd shape that is unappealing. The worse aspect is the sound cord that disconnects extremely easily from the headphones. Since the cord is very long, any snag (even the slightest tug) will remove sound from one of the ear cups. This has to do with the headphones not having a proper locking mechanism for the cable input to prevent it from loosening. I exchanged them but the same situation happened. I find these headphones to not be worth the price and would recommend moving up to a better Bose model or even the improved SoundTrue II.

 Batman: Arkham Knight Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
Batman: Arkham Knight Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
The shadows are his home and keeping Gotham's citizens safe is his sustenance. Darkness envelops his every move and his legend lives in the whispers of each passerby. Known by many names — the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, Batman — this man lives to protect. But by pitting himself against the criminals of a city, he has only made his laundry list of powerful enemies grow. One after another, a new and nefarious threat has risen up and one after another Batman succeeded in bringing them down. But what happens when those menacing masterminds join forces? Who will rescue Gotham when a deadly roster of depraved lunatics gangs up on the shadowed warrior? Who will save us all?The finale to the legendary Arkham series explodes onto your screen in the most adrenaline-pumping storyline yet. The Scarecrow has returned to Gotham City and he has united a terrifying team of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn. For the first time in the franchise, you get to step behind the wheel of the iconic Batmobile as you harness the power of Batman and scramble to outwit the wicked gang after your blood. Tear through the streets and soar across the skyline in heart-pounding gameplay that will suck you in and force you to ask yourself if you have what it takes to save Gotham. Do you have it within you to be the hero the city needs? Or will the villains of Gotham overtake the Dark Knight once and for all?

If you are a fan of the both Arkham Asylum and City, you will love this game. While the inclusion of the Batmobile is actually more of a distraction than an improvement, the overall game is excellent for Batman fans. If you where only mildly interested in the first two, this will be more or less an evolution of the series and not really anything dramatically new but for real fans of Batman... this game looks and plays like a dream.

While not comparable to very high end headphones, these set are definitely worth the price for newer PC gamers. Simulated surround sound is good for movies and atmospheric games but for titles like Counter-Strike I would recommend turning it off. Overall, I would recommend these for first time gamers on PC.

if i bring the hard drive in from a different store will you be able to install it into my system for me?
This is an external drive and therefore does not need to be installed internally. Its primary use is plug and play for storage needs.
