I had been wanting this TV for over a year, I was just waiting for the right price. The reason I wanted this TV is because I am a gamer, that is where the 240 Hz is the most useful visually. If you just want to watch regular HD TV and movies, 120 Hz (or 60 Hz) should be fine. Currently I don't believe 4K offers over 60 Hz and I don't watch anything that has a 4K format yet. So I was fine with this TV only being 1080p.
Also, I love and trust Samsung. Both of the flat screen TVs I have purchased (including this one) are Samsung and my previous one is still going strong after 5 years. The reason I upgraded was for the bigger screen and the increased Hertz. The Smart HUB access on the new TV is nice too.

You demand a lot from your Wi-Fi network. With this Belkin router, everyone in the house will be able to watch shows, play games and use tablets, smartphones and Smart TVs at the same time, without lag or slowdown.

I recently moved and had to pick up a new cable and internet service provider. My previous router, a Netgear N300, wasn't working with their modem for some reason. I hadn't had any issues with the router so far other than the occasional reset from over use ( once or twice a year). I bought this router to replace it because the Netgear equivalent was not available at the store I went to. So far it is running excellently.
I also like that it allows for three channels: standard, media, and guest. I put my computer and phone on the standard, and the rest go on media.

I bought this external hard drive a few weeks ago to add additional space to my Xbox One, which was at about 75% full. After formatting the drive with the system I am now at about 7%.
The only annoying thing is that the drive indicator light blinks constantly when it is on standby (the system is off). I could turn the light off in the settings but than I wouldn't know when the drive is being used.

Your right foot twitches with anticipation — and maybe just a little bit of pre-race jitters — ready to push the pedal to the metal, sending your mechanical beast lurching ahead of your competition. A single drop of sweat drips between your creased brow and drops from the end of your clenched jaw, splattering onto the steering wheel where your hands are tightly clamped. You've learned the art of tunnel vision — blocking out the drivers to your left and right — seeing only the expanse of track before you. The starting flag hangs limply in the breezeless air. The roar of the excited, frenzied crowd is drowned out by the pounding of blood between your ears. You were born ready for this moment. The only option is first.Prepare yourself for a thrilling, adrenaline-pumping automotive experience with Forza Motorsport 5, which offers leading simulation and next-generation graphics engines, so you feel as if you're really strapped in the seat — zooming around some of the world's most legendary racetracks. Let your opponents know you mean business by using your vehicle to push them into the wall — leaving in your wake a tangle of metal and busted parts with high-resolution damage modeling. Continually hone and develop your skills by facing an ever-evolving network of lifelike competitors with Drivatar technology, and even compete against your friends' top times. With an Xbox LIVE Gold membership (not included), you can enjoy exhilarating multiplayer races with Smart Match matchmaking, which pairs you with individuals who complement your own unique way of driving. When the race is finished, upgrade your vehicle by downloading from a diverse array of globally recognized cars — months before they're even available to consumers in the showroom, and make sure your car reflects your own personal style by giving it a custom paint job. Do you have what it takes to race some of the world's fastest cars?

I will start off by saying I'm not much into racing games. I prefer shooters, RPGs, and platformers. I got this game with my Xbox One in a bundle, so I didn't pay anything extra for it.
The visuals of the game are great, the cars look beautiful and the tracks aren't to bad either. I do like the customize-ability of the vehicles, especially the point based system that helps you determine which upgrades to your car are the best choice for speed, weight, acceleration, ect.
But in the end the game felt a bit simple. All you due is race to get credits, buy cars and upgrades, and race again. I do like a bit more to my games.
I do like the Drivatar system where the console uses your driving information to create an AI version of you that races other people while you aren't playing and earns you credits.

It has happened. The end of times is near, and hordes of the undead search for the living with brainless, relentless persistence. The city lies in ruins, and everywhere you turn, you see gore and destruction. You wander the city of Los Perdidos and every beat of your heart, every breath you suck in and every step you take is in an unending pursuit of survival. It's only a matter of time until the military swoops in and wipes the entire city, and everyone in it, off the map. So, while you're here, you've got to contend with swarms of zombies — but ultimately to survive, you have to get out.Prepare yourself for the next generation of zombie-slaying thrills in this third installment of the blockbuster Dead Rising series that features the stunning visuals made possible by your Xbox One. Overwhelming hordes of zombies with plenty of detailed gore are coming your way — and while they feature tons of variation, they also have a shared awareness that will make it that much more difficult to survive. Luckily, as you explore the massive open-world environment of Los Perdidos, you can pick up anything and everything and make it into a weapon. With hundreds of potential weapon combinations, it's up to you to decide how you want to end each and every brain-eating walker. With intense action and unmatched character customization, Dead Rising 3 takes the zombie horror to new levels by utilizing your Kinect to aid the undead in their hunt for blood. The horde can hear into your living room and respond to your at-home environment — so go ahead and flip off the lights, if you dare. See if you have what it takes to lay waste to the zombie hordes and make it out alive.

This was the first game I purchased when I bought my Xbox One. The game is very fun, the story is interesting and has tie-ins to the previous two games. I like the weapon creation system and number of zombies that can be on screen at once. Sometimes I would find myself distracted from the over arcing story to just tear through a zombie horde or to get blueprints for more weapon combinations,
The only real downside was the long load times when starting up the game or if you died. It can take a few minutes which can be a bit annoying especially if you are playing Nightmare Mode.
In the end I do think it is a great game and definitely worth getting especially if you can get it on sale like I did.

I didn't think that they could improve upon the Xbox 360 controller, but I feel like they did. I like the texture added to the thumbsticks and the sizing down of the battery casing. The controller feels solid an smooth. I actually purchased a second controller with the console due to a deal I received.

Microsoft Xbox One: The Xbox One is your all-in-one media center. Its powerful hardware delivers impressive graphics and detailed game worlds, plus it also offers an impressive lineup of video streaming apps to bring you movies, TV shows, sports and more in HD.The wireless controller was refined through hundreds of tests to emerge as Microsoft's most advanced controller to date. There are more than 40 improvements over the Xbox 360 controller, including everything from a more comfortable design and improved response time to additional rumble motors that can deliver more dynamic haptic feedback.Kinect is bundled in, delivering motion capture technology that allows you to step into your games and control them by moving your body.

Navigating the Xbox One's dynamic menus is simple and convenient; just swipe your hand, speak commands or use the included wireless controller.Advanced TV hardware required. Games, add-ons and media content sold separately. Initial setup and some games and features require broadband Internet; ISP fees apply. Online multiplayer requires Xbox Live Gold membership (sold separately). Multiplayer between Xbox 360 and Xbox One not supported. See Xbox.com/XboxOne.

While the Xbox One with Kinect is a lot of money upfront, I feel like it was worth the cost. Especially since now you can get a free game with the console.
I'm glad I purchased the version with the Kinect. The voice commands make the system easy to use. Especially the "Xbox On" feature that not only turns on the console, but can be set up to turn on your TV, sound system, and cable/satellite box since you can control your cable /satellite through the console.
The console is easy to use and has some fairly good games for launching less than a year ago. With more coming out soon. I purchased Titanfall and Dead Rising 3 with these bundle (both were on sale). I an a gamer, so that was my main reason for choosing this console.
I did have one problem when the Kinect was responding to my voice commands and was about to take it back when I found out the cord to the console was loss. That would be the main downside for me, the cords aren't very secure.

I bought the fan to help cool my desktop which was getting warm with the new graphics card I installed. The fan was easy to install and did help with removing heat from inside the case, but didn't have as much power as expected.

The American Colonies, 1775. It's a time of civil unrest and political upheaval in the Americas. As a Native American assassin fights to protect his land and his people, he will ignite the flames of a young nation's revolution. Assassin's Creed III takes you back to the American Revolutionary War, but not the one you've read about in history books.

This game brought some great changes to the Assassin's Creed franchise. The story was interesting and so was the added wildlife/frontier elements.
I did encounter a few bugs while playing this game (examples: terrain not loading correctly or enemies being immune to attacks).
Did not try the multiplayer..

The game was fun to play and I did like the extension to the story from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
I did like most of the newly added features like the things added to the Assassin Guilds and a few of the activities. I also like the way they connected it to the original Assassin's Creed.
Some parts of the game felt repetitive from the last few games.
