4 Great games, 1 disc, all on Xbox One.

One of my most anticipated titles of 2014. I was expecting a Halo 2 Anniversary edition, but this is so much more. Not only are we getting that, but we are also getting all 3 other titles of the Master Chief saga to date. All of them now running in HD 1080p, 60fps, in their original engines, on dedicated servers.
This is a godsend to Xbox One owners who were a fan of Any of the Halo games. In addition to getting Halo 1-4 all on one disc, with everything unlocked. We also get access to Halo 5's Multiplayer Beta in December, in addition to Halo: Nightfall. The live action series currently in production.
November 11th, can't come soon enough.
My Best Buy number: 2676822184
What's great about it: Halo 1-4 running at 1080p, 60 fps, in their original engines, on dedicated servers.
What's not so great: Only that Halo 3 and Halo 4 aren't getting graphical updates for the Xbox One's Hardware capabilities.

Battlefield 4 is the genre-defining action blockbuster made from moments that blur the line between game and glory. Fueled by the next-generation power and fidelity of the Frostbite 3 engine, this epic sequel provides a visceral, dramatic experience you haven't yet experienced on the Battlefield.Only on the Battlefield can you experience Levolution, which allows you to change the landscape in real-time with interactive environments that react to your every move. Lead an assault from the back of a gun boat, or personally turn the tide of battle as you lead your squad in Command mode. Battlefield grants you the freedom to do more and be more while playing to your strengths and carving your own path to victory. In addition to its hallmark multiplayer, Battlefield 4 features an intense, dramatic character-driven campaign that starts with the evacuation of American VIPs from Shanghai and follows your squad's perilous journey. There is no comparison. You thrive amid the glorious chaos of all-out war. Legends are made on the Battlefield.

Dissapointed with the state of the game.
on April 16, 2014
Posted by: Veroku

EA seems to have pushed this product way too early. The game was in a horrible state for weeks after its release, almost as to be unplayable to the majority. With so many issues ranging from bugs, corrupted games saves for the campaign, and unstable servers.
Still to this day the game isn't in an ideal state, still prone to corrupt game saves, and issues with the servers. The game does provide a unique and fun experience when it does work, unfortunately that just isn't all the time, like it should be.
My Best Buy number: 2676822184
What's great about it: Provides a fun, and unique experience, when it works
What's not so great: Is riddled with bugs, and server issues.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Got this for my Nephews, was desperately needed.
on April 16, 2014
Posted by: Veroku
from Crest Hill, Illnois
My nephews had been using cheap rechargeable batteries in their controllers, and they ended up losing the backplate to one of the controllers as well. So this having come with custom backplates for the specially designed battery packs, was perfect for them.
It replaced the backplate they lost, and provided easy recharging for their controllers, providing they could remember to put them in the charging dock when they were done using them.
The only real drawback is the stand was flimsy, and when trying to plug the charging cord into the base, the plug on the inside of the stand actually shifted position. Was a little worried about it, but it seems to still work fine, and they haven't mentioned any problems with it since.
My Best Buy number: 2676822184
What's great about it: Allows easy charging of 2 controllers when not in use.
What's not so great: Flimsy, was worried about breaking it when trying to plug it in.

Great to save money on batteries.

I got tired of replacing batteries in my old controller, so when I picked up a new console I decided to get one of these charge kits as well. Instead of going through a $20 package of batteries every month, this is a great alternative, and ends up paying for itself very quickly. I highly recommend that any gamer pick up a charge kit like this one instead of wasting money on batteries.

Needed to replace my old Xbox 360

Posted by: Veroku

Age:25-34
Gender:Male
I had to replace my long dead Xbox 360(old white original release console) that had a dead disc drive, and dead HDD. So I found this bundle, and though I had been hoping for a price drop for the 360 after the Xbox One's release, this was still a good value with 2 free games, although I already own Tomb Raider on my PC.
The HDD space available for this model was leagues beyond my old console, which only had a 20 GB HDD. So I'm glad to free up some of my old flashdrives to be used for other things.

What's great about it: Large HDD, smaller compact design, free games

Bought for my Xbox 360

I didn't want to use the standard video cable that came with my Xbox 360, and I wanted an HDMI cable. I looked through quite a few to find a decent cable that met the length and speed requirements I had personally set for use with my Xbox 360. This was by far the best value I found at the time of purchase. Works great, no complaints.

The thrill and allure of the Skyrim series is that you get to choose who your character will become. Do you wish to uphold the powers of good? Then use your skills to battle evil. Care to switch it up and fight with the bad guys for a change? The freedom is yours. In a game where every choice you make affects the future outcome of the storyline, it's easy to become lost in this ethereal and transcendent land of lore. With The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition, you have access to the iconic story of the original game, as well as the official Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn add-ons for an immersive experience you won't soon forget.The storytelling and adventure of The Elder Scrolls comes to life in one comprehensive experience with this Legendary Edition that places additional weapons, armor, spells and shouts at your disposal. In Dawnguard you have the option of battling the Vampire Lord Harkon as a member of the ancient order to save the sun, or becoming a Vampire Lord yourself. Explore the vast island of Solstheim, off the coast of Morrowind, whose lands are littered with ash wastes and glacial valleys. As you become more powerful with shouts that bend the will of your enemies and even tame dragons, you come closer to facing off against your deadliest adversary — the first Dragonborn. Create a home for your character that reflects your style — from a simple, single-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory and more. Hearthfire lets you purchase land and build from the ground up with tools, such as the drafting table and carpenter's workbench, that transform clay, stone and logs into structures and furnishings. You can even adopt children to bring the light of youth to your hearth. The Elder Scrolls gives you the chance to live another life in another world that has consequences and choices, just like this life on Earth. Except in Skyrim, you get the added perk of battling vampires and dragons to spice things up.

Plug your favorite compatible headset into the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter and hear the action just the way you like it. Easily adjust chat audio without taking your hands off the controller. Add game audio by connecting directly to your controller, console, or TV.

I expected better, for as long as we had to wait.
on April 16, 2014
Posted by: Veroku
from Crest Hill, Illnois
I had been waiting a long time for this item to become available. I am of the same mind as many others in feeling that this should have been available at launch.
That being said, the quality of the product in my opinion is quite poor and should have been a lot better given that it was released several months after the console's release.
The device tends to have a lot of static background noise the standard Microsoft headset does not, even when only having chat audio active. Added to that the volume controls are very clumsy and a chore to figure out. I don't know if mine was just missing a manual to explain how the controls worked, or if this was an oversight by Microsoft with the entire product line.
Trying to figure out the controls is a good bit of trial and error. I thought originally that you could change the volume of the game/chat audio separately, but that doesn't seem to be the case. If I try to do what I would of assumed would be raising the volume of the game audio, it mutes the chat, and vice versa if I try to do what I had assumed would raise the chat volume. Very odd controls, and perhaps I am not using them right, but without a manual, how could I know that.
Very disappointed with the product, if it wasn't the only option available to use 3rd party headsets(since I despise the cheap Microsoft headset) I would return it.
My Best Buy number: 2676822184
What's great about it: Allows use of 3rd party headsets. Combines game audio, and chat audio.
What's not so great: Shortens battery life of the controller, prone to static background noise, volume controls are poor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Picked this up for my Nephew's Xbox 360
on April 16, 2014
Posted by: Veroku
from Crest Hill, Illnois
I got this for my Nephew to use as storage for his Xbox 360. It meets performance requirements for the Xbox, and has served its purpose, since he only had a couple small flash drives prior to that. The only problem I had with this flash drive, is the actual storage available on the device was 28 GBs. I've owned many flash drives, and I've never seen that large of a chunk missing from its total capacity. 1-2 max for a drive this size. So I was indeed shocked to see it was 4 GBs less than it's advertised capacity.
My Best Buy number: 2676822184
What's great about it: Decent speed, large storage for price. Great Value.
What's not so great: Storage space came up as 28 GBs instead of 32GBs

The ideal entry into the world of powerful stereo sound:The HD 201 has good attenuation of ambient noise with outstanding wearing comfort at an affordable price. Light weight and comfortable to wear.
 

2G iphone compatible?

The iPhone 2G needs a very small head phone connector, will these work with my iPhone?
Well I looked up the IPhone 2G and according to the info, it does use a 3.5mm audio jack, so these headphones should work without issue.

If my source about the audio jack was incorrect however, and it is a 2.5mm, that is easily solved with a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter. Like one seen at the link below.

What is the smallest size head these headphones can fit with?

Seeing if I should get these for my rather small 10 yr old brother
Well it is difficult to say for certain, as I don't have a cloth tape measure handy to measure your little brothers head =p

However the headphones do swivel, and adjust to fit a wide variety of head sizes/shapes. So I wouldn't be too concerned about that.

is the 10 ft cord akward or cumbersome?

It can be, the cord is a generic rubber insolation style. So the cable can get tangled easily. Personally I just let loose the amount of cable I needed, bound the rest with the twist tie. Then made an effort to straighten the cable I let loose so it doesn't get bundled, twisted, or tangled as easily.
