The price was the prime selling point on this drive. Most modern HDDs are much more reliable than drives of years past, so when shopping for an HDD look for a good price on the amount of data stored. If you have some specialized computer use such as audio/video recording and editing, you will want to look for a faster drive, but for most other purposes a larger drive is more valuable than a faster one.

In an era of what I call "Future shooters" there are very few First Person Shooter games based on historical wars, or even a faux history. As a gamer, I'm somewhat tired of the jet packs, lazer cannons, pulse gernades, plasma pistols, time jumps, space-warp, etc... The trope of the futuristic gameplay has been worn out. I quit the Call of Duty games because of them joining the ranks of Halo, TitanFall, Destiny, etc... I don't want another game like that.
So when Battlefield 1 was announced, I was legitimately excited for the opportunity to play a game with historical vistas instead of galactic vistas.
This game does a great job at being fun, telling great stories, and giving an honest look at the difficulties of the first World War.
The controls in this game are very good and the graphics are exemplary! Simply one of the most beautiful console games to date. This game takes you through European and Arabian battles on Ground, Air, and some sea battle through telling of 5 different storylines with each their own set of missions and locals.
If you're looking for a change of pace, then this is the game for you.

Watchdogs 2 picks up after the advent of the first Watchdog game and drops you into San Francisco. They do a really good job with the game mechanics. Tightening the controls to be more fluid than the first game. The multiplayer elements to this game are nearly seamless and provide a change of pace to the complete missions grinding.
My only complaint is the excessive amount of language used in this game. I have to be cautious when playing this around others who might be offended (or influenced) by the continual use of the "F-bomb".
If this doesn't bother you and you enjoyed the first game, or you want an alternative to Grand Theft Auto, then its a good game. I have no other complaints, and its the only reason I did not award 5 stars.

Titanfall 2 is an epic large robot warfare game. Like its predecessor, you pilot a large robot called a Titan through various combat scenarios. Its graphics and control schemes are very much on par or better than the first Titanfall iteration.
Where this game excels beyond the first Titanfall is the multiplayer and single-player campaign are no longer one in the same. There is a single player campaign that is offline (more aptly, against CPU controlled characters), and has a fantastic story-line that is easy to follow and exciting to experience.
This is a must have game for fans of the FPS genre.

This is a novel idea, an iPhone USB cable that you can easily clip to your purse, key ring, backpack, etc... I will say it is slightly bulkier than expected. The clipping functionality is very tight and slightly dangerous to pinching your fingers. The plug ends are hidden in the frame of the body and are somewhat difficult to dislodge from their closed position. I do expect the grip to be easier with time as it gets worn in.
This will work on iPhones with the lightning connector (iPhone 5 and newer).

If you're looking at buying this you probably want to know a few basic things like the following questions and answers:
1) Does it fit? Yes
2) Is it bulky? No, it is a thin profile and doesn't add much girth to the phone. (That's right. I said girth.)
3) Will it protect my phone? Probably. Don't throw your phone on the Ground like Andy Samberg in his "Threw it On the Ground" music video. Also, its not an enclosed case, so don't take it swimming expecting to protect your phone.
4) What phone works with it? iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S. Not iPhone's 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, C, or SE.
5) Pink and Gold style is as shown in the picture.

Surface Pen for Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and Surface 3 - Black
With Palm Block technology and more than 250 levels of pressure sensitivity, this Microsoft Surface 3UY-00012 pen makes it easy to take notes and input data on your Microsoft Surface Pro 3 or Surface 3.
Surface Pen for writing
Customer Rating
5.0
The surface pen is a great tool to allow a mouse-like functionality. If you're like me, you have some hefty fingers that need to go on a diet (as I've learned, finger foods don't make fingers fit... Go figure). What this pen enables is a mouse cursor type navigation. It works by hovering your pen over the Microsoft surface (any pro edition, or the Surface 3), and a little dot appears to indicate where your "cursor" is. to select something, you simply tap the item you wish to select, and voila... You essentially left clicked. Hold in on that object, and you're right clicking!
Also the two side buttons become useful for website navigation, and the quick jump to One Note makes note taking a whole lot easier (read: quicker and more centralized than those sloppy yellow sticky notes you put everywhere... And then that one sticky note with your password on it. Which you should feel ashamed about... Because that's defeating the purpose of passwords. SHAME ON YOU.)

What you're getting here is a premium tablet. Until Apple makes a pro-level iPad don't compare the Surface 3 vs any model iPad. What the Surface 3 is, is a tablet that has full laptop capabilities. You can install any software you could previously, you can plug in a keyboard and mouse, you can operate full Windows 10. The functionality of this device runs incredibly well, and is well spec'ed to run full Windows 10. The Marketplace store is available to download apps from an ever growing app store. Micro SD card slot underneath the kickstand allows for expandable storage.
With the purchase of a Surface Pen and a Surface Keyboard, this is a fully functional, very compact, easy to use tablet with a great display and great engineered design.

This is an HDMI cable. It suffices any need to connect 2 HDMI devices. Make sure the cable is rated for 3D if you're buying something for that capacity, but normally, that doesn't matter to most people.

WD - My Passport Ultra 1TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - Black
Save your files quickly with this WD My Passport Ultra external hard drive, which features a USB 3.0 interface for transmitting data at up to 480 Mbps. The 1TB capacity offers ample space for data backup and file storage.
Windows & Chrome Compatability???
I was told by the Best Buy salesman that this drive would be compatible with both Windows and Chrome. I saved my photos from my Toshiba laptop (Windows) onto the Passport drive, but when I plug it into my Chromebook, it says I cannot open the files because they're Windows format. Any suggestions? Any idea what App I would need on my Chromebook to open the Windows file?
The drive IS compatible if you're able to navigate its file structure. As far as apps, if memory serves me right I use an app called File Manager HD.
If you can't open the drive, that means it needs to be reformatted in a more neutral format. I'm guessing its in NTFS. If you need to, look up a guide on how to reformat your drive in FAT32. When you do that, make sure you format the right drive.

Can I use it with a Surface Pro 3?
I have a 2TB Ultra that works in a laptop or computer, do not work on my Surface.
Nope. This might work in an external Hard Drive enclosure that connects via USB to the Surface Pro 3. But on an internal scale, you cannot install upgraded memory on the Surface.
