A City teetering on the edge of a bloody revolution. An oppressive regime subsisting on the rising tide of fear. An extraordinarily skilled thief lies in the shadows during this uncertain and troubled time, thwarting even the most cautious citizens out of their best-guarded possessions. But as the uprising, led by Orion, voice-of-the-people, begins to emerge, Master Thief Garrett finds himself entangled in the ever-tightening knot of conflict. The Baron's Watch refuses to ease their stringent regime, and Garrett's abilities may be the only thing that will prevent the streets from running red with the blood of the people. Will you redefine your role as Thief to save the City from a devastating fate?Slip into the silent shoes of the dark and solitary Master Thief and sneak through the City unnoticed and unsanctioned. Unmatched stealth skills make child's play out of the most challenging heists and place the most inaccessible loots within your reach as you infiltrate luxurious mansions and relieve the residents of their valuables. Explore the sick and suffering City, from the shady back alleys to the highest rooftops, and decide what kind of thief you are. Whether you choose stealth or force, you are well-equipped to get the job done — choose force and leverage Garrett's arsenal and eliminate guards with your blackjack, or shoot one of the many arrow types. Choose stealth and manipulate your environment to outsmart your enemies with newly acquired focus abilities. Either way, you'll find yourself deeply immersed in the game's unprecedented sights, sounds and artificial intelligence, made possible by groundbreaking visual elements. Thief represents a truly tactile and visceral first-person experience and the amazing power of your next-generation console. The time has come to decide your role in the revolution.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I expected thief to be amazing and it is. Graphics on PS4 are great, the game is great and the controls are fun. I am just in the first part, but this game is the most fun so far of all my PS4 games!

This open-eared headset with 5.1 Dolby headset technology gives you an unparalleled audio advantage that lets you hear your opponents before you see them. Connect with the Dolby USB sound card for a true 5.1 experience. But if needed, an analog connection is also provided. Stay comfortable with a lightweight frame and specially designed earpods that redistribute pressure. When you're ready to fire off orders, unveil the hidden, noise-canceling mic boom to strategize clearly with team members. Adjust audio levels using in-line volume and mic-mute controls.

Nice set

This is a nice headset, although it is quite big, however does not feel heavy and on the contrary they are very comfortable. I usually do not buy Plantronics due to bad experiences in the past, but this headset was plug and play and works just fine and is much more comfortable than my logitech headsets, which all end up breaking up into little pieces, because they are not made with good materials (they crumble). This headset has a plush fabric so non of that faux leather, but the material feels nice and does not seem to bother me like other such materials.
The price is extremely steep and these things should not cost 100 bucks and I don't like the fact that you can pull the stereo plugs out of an USB adapter. i bought these for a computer not a phone or a stereo. If I needed something for a stereo I would probably go really high end.
People have told me that I sound completely different in game, but everyone comes through crystal clear. The mic is hidden when you first open the box and may not be big enough, but it seems to pick up my voice fine, although some people have said I was a little bit quiet, had to adjust it a few times, but the logitech is even smaller and the laser if not directed right at your mouth no one hears anythings, so this seems to be a bit better.
Only other complaint is that the boxes are tough plastic and are really hard to open and unless you are the samurai John Belushi character mode common fellas, you are going overboard, be a little more green and less wasteful. Well hopefully this headset will last longer and won't crumble like my logitech headsets and maybe then I will offset the waste from the box with holding on to this headset for more than a couple of years.
What's great about it: great sounding, comfortable and no problems so far.
What's not so great: Price, it is too expensive and a bit bulky.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Probably one of the best movies of the decade!
on October 24, 2008
Posted by: GElk

Well, I actually saw this movie in a kiosk for rent in my local grocery store.
I remembered that my father wanted to watch it as it had much international acclaim and was from the very talented Sergei Bodrov and we all still deeply saddened by the untimely death of his very talented son (famous Russian actor [JR]).
This film did not disappoint and in fact may become Sergei Bodrov’s Epic film!
I put this film in late night and after an extremely long day and was stunned and could not turn off the TV (was planning to watch a few minutes). It was extremely interesting and was not boring at all (plenty of action) regardless that it was subtitled and the fact I could not understand a word of Mongolian (I’m not Mongolian) and their “beautiful language”.
It was absolutely stunning direction and cinematography, bringing you back centuries and right into the action. I hope they are making a sequel, because there is so much more to tell. If you want a good movie for your DVD collection this is a sure buy and I will see if they have it for Blu Ray and this will certainly go into my collection!!!!
BUY BUY BUY.
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: price, dvds should be much cheaper
I would recommend this to a friend!

Destroy any documents or discs you don't want others to see and protect yourself from identity theft with this paper shredder.

Shred this shredder
on August 9, 2008
Posted by: GElk
from Blackhawk, California
This by far is the worst shredder I have ever bought and those ended up in the trash, because they failed after a year or so, each due to overuse and this one is still the worst.
First, the door is difficult to operate (open) and the shredder's openning is very bad and it is hard to insert paper, let alone 10 or 12 pages, NO WAY, this thing can barely hand a few pages at a time!
When it does shred, it shreds you would think it would result with little pieces of paper, but I later found , when emptying the bin that my checks and bank statements that went through the shredder (no jams) were not shredded at all! Stay away from this one. I do not understand how anyone could be happy with it. I am happier with a shredder I spent more money on, and that stopped working after about 1.5 years. I am not even talking about shredding cds or paper clips, just envelopes with a few pages and sometimes a few checks(I was seperating most. so that they would be well below the max paper amount allowed by this shredder).
What's great about it: none
What's not so great: Extremely noisy even when it comes to shredders, bad openning for paper, cannot shred a few pages at a time
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
