A great throwback.

Having grown up on Halo 2 and a ton of Halo 3, this game was a great addition to my Xbox One. Luckily it came with my console bundle cause i was going to buy it anyway. It's great having 4 different campaigns and they are constantly updating the multiplayer. If you grew up playing Halo or are looking to play them for the first time, this is a fantastic experience on the new generation Xbox.

The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience. The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play. The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later. PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita. All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update. Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply. PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

Very Disappointed

I have now had two different PS4's. The first one was very laggy, loud, and the overall user experience was terrible. The second one i got after trading in the first one had it's audio completely fail. Being fed up, i switched to the Xbox One and never looked back. I like the exclusive games on the Xbox One more than the PS4 as well. I'm not sure about everyone else, but i had the worst luck with the ones i purchased. I strongly recommend doing your research and due diligence before purchasing one of the new generation consoles.

The best controllers on the market
on July 2, 2015
Posted by: bigtman
from Bloomington, Indiana
I LOVE the new Xbox One controllers. They fit perfectly in your hand and the buttons are extremely responsive and easy to activate. The triggers are a lot smoother than the ones used for the Xbox 360 and it actually fits your hand unlike the PS4 controllers. The midnight forces camouflage also looks pretty freaking sweet and mine has gotten numerous compliments from family and friends! Buy at least 3 to maximize fun with your friends!!

iPhone 6 isn't just bigger ~ it's better in every way. Larger yet thinner. More powerful, yet power efficient. It's a new generation of iPhone.

I have been an iPhone owner since the iPhone 4 was launched with Verizon and i have never looked back. Apple seems to outdo themselves launch after launch with the new iPhone and the iPhone 6 is no exception. The larger screen makes app usage a better experience, the new processor is extremely fast, has fantastic battery life, and the finger print scanner makes unlocking your phone a breeze while maintaining security. There really is no debate what the best phone on the market is. Definitely the iPhone 6.

The best earbuds i have owned
on January 13, 2015
Posted by: bigtman
from Bloomington, Indiana
I have gone through my fair share of headphones. I had a pair of the Bose earbuds and to my disappointment they worked well until the left headphone blew. I also had a pair of Skull candy FMJ's that had pretty sub-par sound quality and i was not impressed with their top of the line product. I decided to give these Beats earbuds a try because my apple headphones lost their sound strength and i have been very impressed with my other Beats products: the wireless beat box and beats pro headphones. I am extremely glad i bought these. The cable is of very high quality and strength, rarely tangles, and features a useful microphone with different options. The actual earbuds are equally as impressive. Their sound is great from the highs, lows, and everything in between. I use these earbuds while walking to my classes and while i'm working out. While walking to class i don't hear the traffic or people around me at all and i can focus on my rich and crisp music. During my workout sessions my headphones never fall out of my ear because these earbuds come with multiple ear tip options and i found the one that fits the contours of my ear best and i also never hear the treadmill because they do such a great job isolating outside noise. In conclusion, these earbuds are worth every single penny spent. They have impressive looks, utility, sound, and durability. If you are looking for a pair of quality earbuds without breaking the bank, look no further!

The Best HDMI Cable on the market
on November 29, 2014
Posted by: bigtman
from Bloomington, Indiana
I bought this HDMI as a replacement for the HDMI that comes with the Xbox One. While
Installing it, i was impressed with the v-grip technology and how well the cable was fastened into my TV's HDMI port. While gaming on my Xbox One, i personally noticed a performance boost compared to the previous cable i was using. With this new Monster HDMI cable i noticed richer colors, deeper blacks, literally no lag time between picture and sound, and the sounds showed absolutely no distortion. I am also very impressed that Monster offers a lifetime warranty for the cable (eventhough it is made so incredibly well with high end materials i would be shocked if there were any malfunctions) and they will upgrade the current cable if your technology setup surpasses the cable's capabilities. 100 bucks is pretty steep for a cable. But it was honestly money well spent knowing I am getting the full capacity from my Xbox one and HD TV.

The greatest console on the market
on November 28, 2014
Posted by: bigtman
from Bloomington, Indiana
I am so glad i decided to upgrade my xbox 360 to the xbox one. I have always been a bigger fan of the xbox product line than the Wii and Playstation consoles. The xbox one has completely blown me away. The graphics are nothing short of stellar. Half the time that i am playing i just admire the graphics and i find it hard to believe i'm playing a video game. Add in all the xbox live extras like Netflix, a blu-ray player, and tons of other extras, this really is an all in "one" entertainment system. The loading times are virtually non existent and the system is incredibly quiet. It also comes with a very large hard drive at 500GB and has an included HDMI cable. I have no other words to describe this juggernaut of the electronic/gaming world. You just have to experience it for yourself!

Amazing headphones and very price right!

How Often Used:3-5 times a week
I got these headphones with my iPhone 5. I am extremely satisfied with these headphones. I already own a pair of Klipsch earbuds that I am extremely satisfied with. But, I love the tight and secure fit these headphones have. Because of this I use them at the gym and when I'm staying active. The sound is very clear and I like the bass. You can't beat these headphones for 30 bucks.
What's great about it: Cheap for the quality, good sound, great bass, really tight fit, and a durable cord.
What's not so great: Honestly, nothing.

THE BEST TABLET AVAILABLE.
on December 26, 2012
Posted by: bigtman
from Ossian,Indiana
I am new to the tablet world, however, i loved the concept of having a more mobile computer that fits in your hand. After conducting extensive research, reading and watching reviews and review videos, and followed by product comparisons, i knew the iPad with the retina display was the best product. The first thing i noticed with this tablet is just how darn fast it is! All apps run very smoothly and efficiently, and i hardly notice any buffering or lag with my slow, rural internet. The next and best feature is the retina display. Reading on the i-books app is even more enjoyable with such rich and clear texts that the retina display provides. Viewing and editing pictures is a breeze with the retina display. You can now see every detail. The next best feature is the use of apps. All apps that you enjoy on your iPhone are 100x better on an iPad. The canvas is larger and the software is faster. The final feature of this beast is the battery life. It practically never drains! To sum it up, if you are interested in a tableters life, join millions of extremely satisfied people and take the iPad route.
What's great about it: The retina display is absolutely flawless, very very long battery life, thin and extremely durable, & very responsive.
What's not so great: Kinda pricey, but totally worth it!

The best headphones i've ever used.
on December 7, 2011
Posted by: bigtman
from Ossian,Indiana
How Often Used:Daily
First off, i've owned these headphones for about two weeks, and i couldn't be any happier. The sounds on these is AMAZING! The clarity and attention to detail is unmatched. It's pretty wild hearing background instruments, singing, and/or sounds that you've never heard in songs you have listened too for ages. The bass on these are superb. With bass boost on my iPhone, these headphones really give a sub woofer experience. The next thing i am really impressed with is the craftsmanship. The headphones are made of a high grade aluminum, making them very sturdy, sleek, and not to heavy. The cushioning on the top band and the ear cups are really squishy and soft. Another big plus for me is the material doesn't make my ears sweat like previous cloth ear cushions i have used. Lastly. the cord for these headphones is unlike any other cord i have ever seen. It is really long, extremely durable, doesn't tangle, and the audio plugs are reinforced so you can pretty much forget about the inside wires becoming exposed. But what else can you expect from Monster Cable? In my opinion, if you are looking to step your musical experience, whether you are a DJ or an avid listener(like me) and have the money to spend, buy these headphones.
What's great about it: Best sound quality, extremely comfortable, very well made, one year warranty included, and the professional cord.
What's not so great: Little Pricey.. But totally worth every penny!

xbox live question?

when my friend come over to my house they usually play in a xbox live guest account but now they cant log on to it so now i cant play live with them when they come over. what can i do to fix it?
the guest account has run out of membership. If you want your friends to keep playing go buy a 3 month or 12 month gold x box live subscription card. With this your friends will be able to make their own accounts and keep them for awhile.And if they eventually get an x box 360 they will be able to recover the gamertag onto their new x box 360.

They make an attachable cool down system that plugs into the xbox 360

I have an xbox 360 elite and I saw a product (don't remember the name) and it plugs into the power port in the back of the xbox and allows you to run the original power cord into it. It is supposed to cool your xbox off more efficiently and let you play longer, will it help me in the long run?
i owned the cooling system and hated it. Eventually the x box gets really loud when this is plugged in. My x box 360 kept on powering down because all of the power was going to the cooling system and not the x box 360. I would reccomend you not buy this.

hardrive?

i bought the arcade version and am getting a 120GB hardrive for christmas and i already have some saved games on my 360, will my saved games be moved to my hardrive
if your games are linked to a gamertag you recover your gamertag onto your new hard drive and you should have everything. if you don't have a gamertag im not really sure then.
