DO NOT GET THIS VERSION

DO NOT GET THIS VERSION. It is a scam. Literally. It contains acts 1 and two, and then skips right to act 5. The text has obviously been copied and pasted from various sources, it randomly switches between paragraph form and iambic pentameter.
The image on the front and back is pixel-y, someone with little knowledge of image editing applied it.
This isn't even a good forgery. I could tell something was wrong the moment I picked it up.

Do NOT buy the download version. What a complete waste of time and money!
First of all the version that Amazon has for download (maybe it is the same if you buy from Rosetta Stone directly, I don't know) is an old version, so after downloading the first thing you have to do is go download the newer version ... which once it is done it says it will restart the application for you.. only it doesn't... and if you try to start it yourself again, it keeps asking you to go download the newer version (it is either do that or exit... no other options). So after several tries I had to go hunt for the file it had downloaded and execute it manually, and then the application finally started and got to the window where it asks you to enter the key that Amazon sends you... Now here is where the fun really begins... after entering the key all you get is this totally useless error message "8113 There was a minor error. Click OK to continue" which brings you back to the previous window... so basically you can't do anything!! Searching online I finally found one person who after several hours on the phone with customer service, was told that the error means that Rosetta Stone needs to verify your purchase from Amazon and that it will take at least 48 hours! So you just bought something that you can't use for at least two days! The only reason I bought the download over the cds was to be able to start using it right away! It has already been 48 hours and I'm still getting the error message! I guess they don't do the verification on weekends?? Oh, and I found posts of people getting this same error all the way back to 2009!!
And please don't bother giving me the email address of Rosetta Stone customer service.. I've already emailed them.. and got no reply yet of course...

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

1) This is the real deal, the original version

2) Avoid the new "Special Tenth Anniversary edition". It sounds like crap.

Do not download this if you want the explicit version. It is not as advertised. I got my money back.

This is the international version and NOT the American version I need.  Sending this one back.

I saw this a couple of years ago and they are re-releasing it as new for 2012.  Talk about a rip off.  They just change the date of release and sucker people into thinking that it is new.

I haven't used quicken for about 10 years.  Low and behold, nothing changed in that time.  It's absolutely awful, and is stuck int he 90s.  I got it for a Non-Profit Organization reporting, and apparently, the Mac 2016 version doesn't have feature parity with Windows 2015 release.  I can't do any of the reports that are required by this group, and am now relegated to purchasing a Windows Version to use on another laptop.  This is truly an unacceptable experience in this digital age - and I hate the fact that Amazon doesn't allow me to return the SW.

Do not buy this edition. Amazon should not be offering this book until errors in the digital transfer are corrected.

five stars for the movie, but the DVD releases leave a lot to be desired. First off, do not buy the 1995 edition. The encoding on that disc is on par with the VHS or Laserdisc versions (no exaggeration). I also have the 2002 DVD and the quality is much improved, to the point that it's watchable. I have to assume this is the same encoding that is on the 2003 DVD, though I can't say for sure. It's still not great, and not even close to modern DVD release quality. Also, the 2002 DVD claims to have a director commentary and "previews and trailers" on the back of the case, but that is absent on the disc.

No widescreen version of this exists anywhere either, which is a real shame. This film is begging for a new release, either on anamorphic DVD or (with any luck) Blu-Ray.

The version for 2014 worked fine so I purchased this when it expired. BIG BIG mistake! This bloated, nosey, intrusive piece of crap has slowed my laptop down to a crawl. Don't buy this version if you intend to stream videos or do anything on the internet. I was online and it turned itself off and updated. At that point I had no antivirus protection until it finished. This is also unacceptable.

OMG! This version is terrible! Dear Lord..how do I delete it?

I installed Version 14 on 2014-04-17 and uninstalled it the same day.
I have version 12 and thought I posted my review on 14, this one. It wound up on version 13 reviews, but it is of no matter. They are basically all the same when it comes to my critique. Remember, though I did not buy it, I tried it and got rid of it. I am pasting my review below, as this is the relevant and tested software:

I guess it deserves the one star, as Cyberlink offered a trial download. I punked down a hundred (give or take) for version 12, which didn't have near the features of some of the earlier, free versions that came with DVD drives.

One thing that made me almost go for it was it promised the ability to stretch the video. If I put a BluRay on my player and TV I can zoom and get it to fit the screen. Even on a 1.33 to 1 video that is not anamorphic. This program offers NO ZOOM. NO CROP NO alternative but to watch a video that looks like Lincoln's Stove Pipe Hat Ratio! Example: Poirot. I love the show. I bought a hundred dollar (no give or take) set. I get the Lincoln Effect on version 12 and this version. I hope I don't get comments telling me I didn't buy the program. I had it on my PC for fifteen minutes! That was enough! Considering this version does little more than 12... you think they could offer and upgrade for ABS (already been screwed) customers? Nah, that is too twentieth century.
Now for some suggestions. Slysoft's AnyDVD will make your discs readable so you can play it in free players like VLC, which can adjust the aspect ratio to a finer degree and then crop the black.
Or.... DVDFab has a player that should work with BluRay's. I know it will with AnyDVD. The video has slide zoom and aspect controls! A treat! Beware, the paid version will cost about as much as this, if you want upgrades for life. AnyDVD is also pricey, but it's a better option than paying for this crud.

The real killer - I DO NOT want to break copy protection! I just want to watch my video in as comfortable of a way as I can. You lose, CyberHooey! I know you read some of these reviews. I hope you do this one. I don't care if you respond. Just do the right thing. You haven't so far.
Oh, and as a PS - Who really needs all this public share movie live stuff? Who really needs to let others know what they're looking at?
Especially at the expense of error messages and performance. Just play the darned video.

Edit: I just realized I was directed to version 13 which got my review. No matter. If 12 and 14 are junk, so is this.

This version is horrific beyond rational belief.  It says "The Green Gables Collection", in an Ebook format. Yay, I'm excited.  The chapter navigation doesn't work past the first book, and the 'illustrations' appear to be randomly selected images from the internet.  Please don't pay for this.

If you are looking for the 2004 restored and re-released version of the ORIGINAL Japanese version (with the original 98 minutes of footage restored and without the lousy American version Ramond Burr scenes) then you DON'T want this DVD.

The original Japanese version of this movie was a much different, and much better, version of the story. The Americanized version destroys the sublety of the film and reduces it to a giant guy in a rubber suit crush-crumble-chomp fest.

Everyone has seen this version of the movie dozens of times on late night TV. Avoid this purchase and you'll be much happier.

Do NOT buy this version, even if you intend to tear out the disgustingly dishonest anti-Darwin smear campaign that is Ray Comfort's introduction.  This version of Origin of Species is heavily abridged.  Entire chapters are missing from the book, despite Ray Comfort's claim on his blog that: "It's now heading for 100 universities and 100,000 copies, and it will be the entire book (every jot and tittle)."  These are Ray's own words, directly quoted from his blog.

As you can see, this is the "Origin of Species: 150th Anniversary Edition [ABRIDGED]"  When Ray Comfort says this will be: "the entire book, every jot and tittle" what he really means "Please believe my lie that this is the full version, and ignore the fact that I removed four chapters, the introduction, and the glossary."

Clearly Ray Comfort has no problem with bald-faced lies as long as they serve his insipid Young Earth Creationist agenda.  If you want the real version of Origin of Species, the one that isn't missing several chapters, go with ISBN: 0451529065.

Don't buy this one. It is a old system version one compared with that one with lower price. Also, the package box is not the one you could see at the market. (My friend bought the lower price one, which has a newer system version)

Not new.  Previously opened.  Wrong version of OS vs description.  Stay away...
