Dam this looks really good! I can't remember the last time I watched a trailer more than 2 min and want to move on yet this 43 min video I sat through it all. This is definitely my type of game! Can't wait till Feb!

I'm not trying to complain, but I have these as well and also agree for the price i paid I feel like it wasn't worth it from the audio quality side. Don't get me wrong, they sound good enough, but for the price I was let down. I love the battery swap, and I love being able to use Bluetooth with my phone while also in game chat and game sound all at once.

I have had them for about 3 years now and wish I could a few more years out of them, but my kids got to them a few times and basically destroyed the clip on the left headphone so it just moves around on its own and people keep telling me my mic is in and out and choppy all the time. Not the products fault, but if I do go higher end price again I will probably pass on these and try someone else.

With that said, I also purchased their keyboard and a mouse from them. Keyboard also feels overpriced but I've had it about 4 years and is solid and going strong with zero issues. The mouse is by far my favorite purchase from them. It's the only one I felt was worth the price and is super light but feels great in your hand. I love the mesh shell and never a huge fan of lights, but it is a nice touch here. Bluetooth and 2.4g options make it perfect for any scenario, but I keep it wired if I am home due to the lower than expected battery life, which would be my only complaint. It lasts just under a week with full work hours usage.

Agreed! I said wow this is out? When I saw this post.

I'm glad I gave up almost all this crap. Went from cable to cordless cable (due to wife) to just a few streaming services at the lowest cost (able to convince wife!). We just have Peacock, which with a teacher discount is like 6 a month for the live channel option and is the only live tv we have or need. Since we got it so low, I also splurged on the ad Netflix account, which is also like 7 a month.

Sadly we had Hulu which was $85 a month with live tv but i opted for no tv and paid $80 for the year but we quickly found out we don't even use it anymore without the tv option so this will not be renewed either.

We don't really watch sports, but when we needed to and it's not on Peacock (some actually were) we would just sign up for a free trial of whatever service it was going to be on for that week. I got a full month of YouTube tv for free which helped. Also the best seems to be fox sports which allows you to stream 1 hour no questions asked, then once the hour is up either clear the app cache or uninstall and reinstall the app and boom 1 more hour. I normally wait for a commercial around the hour mark and takes less than a min to get back into it.

No way am I ever supporting surge pricing... I have no idea how anyone believes this will help their company when people will have such a sour taste because they may pay more once but probably want out ASAP after. Whatever happened to never tarnish your name?

Sorry, but i feel like i have been preparing for this for the last 15 years now. I won't answer the question because I already have 40tb worth of content on my personal NAS. From movies, TV shows, music, and video games, I think I will be good for some time living off of just that. I also have all my docs, and personal pics as well.

Since I live in an area where power goes out a lot and internet can go down once or twice a year (not long but maybe up to 6 hours, worst case) it's already been a great solution that I was able to try out during those events.

I feel like the majority of people who do this barely have an interest in sex or get aroused often. Kind of like people during Lent who give up things they know won't be a problem.

As a teenager who smoked way too much pot back then, I still remember putting this album on for the first time in my car with 3 others in a friend's driveway and hotboxing it. This was the end of the night, so we were already fried. This album was such a trip and one of the first that I can remember listening to where left right audio channels were used to mess with where sound was coming from. We were all freaking out, and it was amazing. This was around the year 2000, so long after it's release but it was new to us.

I loved that time period growing up and learning everything and discovering all about the greatest music that was before my time, as well as what was going on during my time. I still listen to everything new and old. It's just very hard to keep up now. I can't imagine growing up today and having so much music to cover just to hear all the greats.

As someone who did love the original Xbox, I find this ugly. that's just my opinion and I'm sure some people will love it, although are there really that many people who love Xbox this much? The person who wrote the article seemed to be a big fan.

I have only used it a few times, but it was amazing for my need. I work in IT so I'm not the best with writing. I enjoy working on projects and configuring new technology, servers, and applications for the company. What i don't enjoy is figuring out how to write communication emails to the company about what we're doing. So everytme I needed a write up informing people of what's happening and it's benefits, I used it to quickly write up something. Was it perfect? No, I had to edit some stuff of course. What it did do is create the entire structure and everything that needed to be said in the style of some corporate HR email. It would take me hours to type out something like this so for this to do it all in 2 minutes and me taking 5 minutes to look it over was amazing! Outside of this I haven't really used it much.

Some have self tests options. If you have a small one, just unplug it and see if the battery holds at all. If it's dead it will die really quick.

I am well on my way to this... less about insurance and more about the only dentist i ever had my entire life retired 5 years ago. He was a family friend and great. I'm still not sure how to get another one and also be great.

The other one is they actually make a slightly different model where it's using cheaper hardware like a slower cpu and nobody really notices or cares because it is cheap but they probably won't last that long. You can verify by looking at the long model string and see if you can find any info online. If it matches the regular one great, but sometimes it's not.
