Too pricey for what you get
on November 3, 2021
Posted by: Volfnikker
Verified Purchase:Yes
The idea is great on paper, but there are too many features missing to constitute the asking price. They only work when connected(no Bluetooth or battery) and can’t wake up the switch. There are no rumble or motion features in the joy pads. There’s also no infrared or NFC(won’t read amibos) functions. The final nail in the coffin is it doesn’t fit flush with the face of the tablet. As a matter of fact, it’s also angled in the back preventing the switch from sitting flush in the dock. The only way I’d feel good about buying this product is if it had a $14.99 MSRP. It’s too bad there are so many shortcomings since the buttons and crossbar control feel great.
Go with BinBok’s or NYXI’s joy pads. Not only do they comes with more features, they also cost less than Hori’s controllers.

In the late 13th century, the Mongol empire has laid waste to entire nations along their campaign to conquer the East. Tsushima Island is all that stands between mainland Japan and a massive Mongol invasion fleet led by the ruthless and cunning general, Khotun Khan. As the island burns in the wake of the first wave of the Mongol assault, samurai warrior Jin Sakai stands as one of the last surviving members of his clan. He is resolved to do whatever it takes, at any cost, to protect his people and reclaim his home. He must set aside the traditions that have shaped him as a warrior to forge a new path, the path of the Ghost, and wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Tsushima.

Expensive for only 1 TB
By BigHeadJude
I like how it is made for the new Xbox with the design in mind. It is very expensive though compared to other storage devices however.

very expensive compared to other storage devices?
April 14, 2021
This is actually on par price wise when compared to other Gen4 NVME SSDs. I’m not saying that this Seagate product isn’t expensive, but when compared to similar M.2 cards it’s about the same. The reason this card is needed in the first place is because in order for the new Xbox Series consoles to play a game at its highest quality and performance, it needs to be installed in the internal memory of the system to take advantage of the read speeds of theses new Gen4 SSDs.
This expansion card is designed with the same SSD as the internal one making more room to install Series S/X games for immediate team gameplay. You can also buy an external drive for storing any backward compatible games to play directly off of and also for storing series S/X games to load onto the internal SSD to save time over downloading it online.
As far as my personal opinions on this expansion card, I’ve never been a fan of Seagate. In the last 25, the only hard drives that have ever failed me prematurely were Maxtor and Seagate drives. Unfortunately, Microsoft partnered with them to produce the first expansion and we don’t have much of a choice on what can be used. Though, the price for the PS5’s internal expansion will be around the same price, at least you’ll have a choice as to which company to buy from.
If and when Samsung or Western Digital offer an option for the Xbox series X, I’ll be first in line to pick one up. Till then we’re stuck with Seagate

Best grip pads for Switch OLED!
By Anonymous
I just got the new Nintendo Switch OLED model - but after playing for an hour ir more my hands severely cramp. I have large hands and this gripad makes playing in handheld mode a dream for people with larger hands. I also picked up a hardcase that fits the system with these on so it's perfect for playing on the go!

Buyer beware
November 3, 2021
As someone who gave these controllers a good month of usage on an OLED model, I can tell you that these are far from the best “grip pads” Besides only working when connected (no batteries or wireless capabilities) and the lack of motion sensors, the way they sit once slid on each side is off. Not only are they not flush with the front of the screen, they’re angled in the back (probably for ergonomic reasons) making it not sit correctly when docked.
Now if these were priced a lot lower, I could forgive its shortcomings due to the nice buttons, good crossbar and extra programmable buttons underneath the grips. Unfortunately these are pricey and require you to remove them when you want to dock your switch so it can sit straight.
There are better alternatives out there that include most of these missing features and are less expensive. I hope Hori comes up with a better designed alternative that won’t break the bank as I’m normally a fan of their controllers.

I See You
By WolfeyRainbow
All versions of James Cameron's Avatar are here and finally on 4K and I am so happy. I got my copy of this masterpiece yesterday (December 18, 2023 if it doesn't show the date), a day early before it's official release and this casing is phenomenal. I have not watched the full versions yet on my 4K player but it looks and sounds so beautiful. I definitely recommended this version but there is one issue that is a big one I need to relay. So, when you put the 4K in, I do not know if its just my copy but the picture for the home screen of the disc glitches out (my final picture showcases this) and there isn't any sound playing but you are still able to watch the movies and special features. I am concerned about this. I watched 20 to 30 minutes of the films with no issue watching the films but the home screen is still glitchy. There are no issue for the regular Blu-Ray at all.

What are you playing it on?
December 20, 2023
Is it glitching out on a particular player? Have you tested it on another 4K Blu-ray player or just the one? I’ve got an Oppo, an Xbox series X, a PS5 and a Samsung 4k Blu-ray drive on my PC. I was just curious if it was just glitching out for you on a particular player. Have you tried upgrading your firmware or check to see if your player is allowed to connect online? Some disc menus stream or connect to the manufacturer’s website so maybe that can be what’s causing your issue.
Good luck 👍🏼
