Great experience

Verified Purchase:Yes
We were offered free delivery on a new Samsung washer we bought to replace our 2014 Samsung (that I found another home for). The delivery date was scheduled ahead about two weeks because of item availability. The driver called the day before the delivery to validate we would be home and then the day of delivery saying he was 10 minutes away. He arrived quickly and (actually 2 minutes early) then with an assistant quickly unloaded and unboxed our washer. They hauled it into our home and since we didn't need installation they unloaded it in our living room, while wearing slip covers on their shoes and gave a brief recommendation to run a short empty load to clear any potential dyes from the new unit. I also liked the little detail of them leaving the foam block in the washer until we had moved it into place. This prevents the agitator from getting off-centered while moving it. All around great experience recommended.

Worth the wait.

Honestly one of the most difficult to find items I've ever bought. After being really hyped for the RTX 30 series launch in September 2020 I waited patiently on Newegg's site but they were gone instantly. Needless to say that was the case virtually still one year later (that will likely continue into 2023 even). Everything from parts shortages, to distribution issues, scalpers, have led to a perfect storm of many electronics, especially graphics cards being difficult (or nearly impossible) to find. While I really wanted the 3080, despite it's high MSRP of $800 that really started with the RTX 20 series for pricing, I decided to take a chance at a Best Buy stand in line event to get one. The alternative was potentially waiting a few years or just paying off a scalper at around three times the price and likely paying around $2000.
I've waited at other midnight events with lines of maybe 40 people and so with a 7:30am voucher hand out, I decided to show up around 5am. When I arrived there were about 60 people and when they handed out vouchers there were another 60-80 people. I was a few people late to score a 3080, but could grab a 3070Ti, 3080Ti, or a 3090. Having sold my 2080 for a mere $800 months before I knew my only upgrades were the 3080Ti or the 3090. I opted for the $1300 3080Ti as the only real additional benefit of the 3090 is the additional memory. So while I was paying more than I wanted for a 13-15% performance benefit, the additional memory was also a decent upgrade. At nearly twice the price, in a typical market I would have just bought a 3080, but given the situation, the Ti was the way to go.
Paired up with my 11900K, Z590 motherboard, NVME drive, 32GB DDR4, and 750W Antec PSU, I was finally good to game. I typically will game in either 4K 30-60fps or sometimes dip down the resolution to 1440p or so for more performance with ray tracing. The DLSS is also a great addition since the RTX 20 series to allow for supersampled resolution upscaling for high frame rates while at a near native 4K. All around I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
Temperatures are reasonable on the card though I may opt to remove the cooler and replace the thermal pads as many have shown the ones used with the board are garbage. Replacing the pads (carefully) can lower temperatures fairly considerably, which can help prolong the life of your valuable investment.

Cruis~n makes its triumphant return to consoles with Cruis~n Blast! Cruis~n first hit arcades in 1994 with Cruis~n USA, set sales records, and was followed by Cruis~nWorld and Cruis~n Exotic to quickly became one of the best-grossing arcade racing series in history. The racing classic hasn~t seen a new console entry for more than a decade, but the 2017 arcade hit Cruis~n Blast is finally bringing the series back into the home on Nintendo Switch!The conversion from arcade to Switch was handled by the original game team led by Cruis~n creator Eugene Jarvis, the iconic game developer and creator behind titles like Robotron, Defender, and many other trendsetting arcade classics. In Cruis~n Blast, you choose between 23 different cars to race across 29 different tracks across 6 cups, vying for first against changing weather conditions, alien invasions, police chases, and even up to three of your friends.

Great Cruis'n title
on September 24, 2021
Posted by: Nico07
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game was a surprise announcement at this year's Nintendo E3 presentation. As a fan of the original, that I played first in the arcade, and then on release on the N64 I was excited. There had been a total of three games in the series that hit both arcade and the Nintendo 64, each getting more and more out there with each entry.
The original arcade release of Cruis'n Blast came to arcades in 2017, but never received a home port. The story is that Eugene Jarvis (one of the original developers of the Cruis'n series) worked on this game with his new company Raw Thrills, while they were working from home during the pandemic.
The Switch port is full featured and adds a lot of new content, well beyond what the arcade version offers. The game runs great at 1080p docked and 720p in handheld mode. The framerate is also very good at a fairly steady 60fps. Split screen mode for four players is also a great included option.
Cruis'n is arcade racing at it's finest. I like simulators like Forza or Gran Turismo, but this is even more arcade than any Burnout, Need for Speed, or Forza Horizon. There is always something going on in the background and the gameplay is smooth and more importantly fun. I whole-heartedly recommend this game to any arcade racing (or just racing) fan. The original arcade game is here, plus much more content that can be unlocked. It does not disappoint.

Great return to form for this anti-hero

Wario games have typically been relegated to fast-paced handheld titles for the most part. Though the Wii and Wii U releases relied heavily on their motion controls and second screen gameplay, this title gets none of that. Instead, Wario returns with the help of his friends and you get to tackle many minigames with Wario or his friend's unique abilities. As you play you unlock more of these friends that add to the game. For completionists, this adds a lot of depth in being able to complete tasks quickly but through different methods. All around this is a great game and like most Switch titles great to play on the television or in handheld mode.

Sonic Colors on Wii was a great game, but with the Wii's 480p resolution the game hasn't aged well. Now with this multiplatform release the game can be experienced on Switch, Xbox One, and PS4/PS5. The game at launch has had many reported bugs, though many of these can be avoided by just loading up the game fresh, or closing and reopening the game. Personally I've played halfway through the game on Xbox Series X and have yet to experience ANY glitches. The game runs smooth and fast and looks incredible in 4K widescreen. I recommend this game to any Sonic fans or anyone looking for a fun and fast platformer.

Great Minecraft set

Posted by: Nico07
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great Minecraft set and depicts two of the main enemies of Dungeons very well. Standing at around six inches tall the largest (as well as the other characters) are all very poseable and great for free play and display. The set was fun to build with my seven-year-old son as there were a lot of repeating steps on the left and right side so he just mirrored what I was building. He's had a lot of fun playing with this set and if your kids (or yourself) are into Minecraft or LEGO I can easily recommend this awesome set.

Great replacement washer
on September 13, 2021
Posted by: Nico07
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought to replace our 2014 Samsung Washer (WA45H7200AW, a $550 unit) that was great, but would go off balance fairly constantly throwing errors.
This model is great, but more barebone as far as features. Aesthetically it looks great, but all of the incredibly bright red lights are a step back as they are bright enough it's difficult to read the settings near them. On our older unit the lights were blue and a red light would only pop up if there was an error. I suppose if one of the lights starts flashing it could signify an error.
Performance-wise, this unit has a free-floating basin but is equipped with a mechanical agitator. The agitator does help to clean clones more effectively as well as to balance loads when in use. Trying to balance loads before use, we've only had one load of several dozen go off balance which requires you to rebalance and then restart the unit (which restarts part of the cycle taking additional time). The feet are rubberized and hold the unit very still on a flat floor, even more so than our last unit.
All around this unit has performed well enough, though I do wish they had opted for blue led over bright red. Otherwise, the performance is good and this has been a decent purchase. Here's hoping it continues to hold up well without going more and more off balance.

Bought this USB drive after seeing it was both a USB-A and USB-C compatible. Speeds are great reaching around 115Mb/s transfer rates on some machines with USB-C. The 128GB capacity is also convenient for carrying around larger files, though depending on what format you use the default cluster size won't hold even a few video files. All around great drive, recommended.

1 out of 53 months in, 2 sticky buttons
By Thisisdumb
from Chicago
That's pretty much it. 2 of the buttons stick, not because of a sticky substance, but because they aren't centered properly in the shell. You can feel them rub up against it, and they make audible noises when they're pushed from the unsticking. It is very annoying. Don't bother with their "refurbished" garbage.

Clean it
May 21, 2019
With any gaming controller if you take a clean toothbrush, slightly dampened with water and scrub around the buttons you should be able to fix this. Be sure to not use much water and then dry it when done. There is a rubber membrane under each button with a slight lip around the edge to prevent small amounts of water, dirt or soda from touching the circuitry. Scrubbing all sides of the button, maybe twice after rinsing the toothbrush should fix the problem. I've used this method to fix otherwise filthy game controllers without needing to resort to opening them to clean them.

Smart reason I returned mine. This should have been branded that is for "YouTube or Twitch Streaming ONLY". So many reviewers got this camera yet of dozens of reviews only one I saw mentioned this. VR and other functions of the other games won't support this camera. This seems like a huge oversight, so hopefully this changes in a firmware update. But for now if you don't stream, skip this peripheral.

Charge or display your Xbox Wireless Controllers with this officially licensed Dual Charging Station that eliminates the cost of replacement batteries. Included are four battery doors (two for Xbox Series X|S / two for Xbox One) plus two 1100 mAh rechargeable batteries for up to 40 hours of gameplay*. To charge, simply click controller down on the Charging Station and monitor for LED color change from amber to white. When fully charged, click up to store. Focus on the game and not on your battery life.
Do these batteries also charge via the USB-C port on the controller? It would be a nice addition for if you only have one controller to charge as you play.

Will I be able to connect this to a Nintendo switch lite?
You would need a third party bluetooth adapter to connect in the USB charge port on the bottom of the Switch Lite. I'm not fully certain these work on the Lite over the standard Switch. So no it won't work natively.
My recommendation is the Switch Pro controller. Though if you're on a budget the PowerA wireless controller is cheaper dealing, missing some features like rumble, a built in 48 hr battery, and amiibo support, but is an otherwise solid $40 remote that occasionally goes on sale.

I recently bought this controller for my Xbox one and went to set it up when I got home with my rechargeable batteries, but they don’t seem to work. Did they make it to where older rechargeable batteries don’t work with the new controllers?
The form factor of the back is slightly different so you'll need a new charger as the back cover is different. That said older rechargeable packs can be charged separately and then installed in the controller.
Another option is to buy a new Xbox Series rechargeable battery pack (using the cover the controller came with) an then charge it via USB-C. This time around there are two sets of battery pins inside. I'm guessing that it won't charge older packs or rechargeable AA batteries via USB-C so that people wouldn't damage their controller by accidentally charging standard AA batteries, hence the second set of charging pins.

Can this controller charge two rechargeable AA batteries if I connect a USB-C cable?
So I tested this myself, and No it does not work. The Xbox Series controller has terminals for standard or rechargeable AA batteries to power the controller. But this time there are some smaller pins for a rechargeable battery pack and these will charge a battery from the USB-C port. But as they are between where AA batteries (rechargeable or not) sit they won't charge rechargeable AA batteries. My guess is this decision was made so that someone didn't inadvertently try to "recharge" non-rechargeable AA batteries as that would be a problem.

Can I turn off the British Accents? (British accents make my very annoyed, it is a pet peeve of mine)
You can quiet them and turn on subtitles. I get it, some of the Scottish accents are pretty thick and hard to understand. No offense to anyone, I'm sure they think the same of some of us Americans.
