I was sceptical about this little gadget until I started using it. Terrific product with a simple design that works much better than I expected. The *only* drawback I can think of is that it doesn’t work with Apple Music, and Amazon Prime Music doesn’t seem to work on it unless you pay for their monthly service.

My previous router was getting a bit long in the tooth so I decided it was time for a replacement. In looking at the logs on the device, I could see multiple attacks coming in from Chinese What I wasn't interested in, however, was a router with dozens of options I don't need. I've been an tech geek as long as I can remember, but that doesn't mean I want to have four SSIDs broadcasting different VLANs, RADIUS authentication, and Bonjour fowarding for AirPrint. If none of that made any sense to you, you'll understand why this product is so good: you just plug it in, name the network, set a password, and that's pretty much it.
In addition to simplicity, you also get a handy mobile app from which you manage your access points. They're very clean, well-made devices that fit nicely into a spot about the size of a coffee mug. They each have two network ports if you want to connect them via traditional cables, but that feature also allows you to connect wired devices in remote parts of your house, should you need to.
Overall, excellent work on Google's part.

One could make the argument that this is the greatest videogame of all time. The detail is immersive, the graphics are beautiful, the music is excellent, and the story is engrossing. Buy it.

This is my second pair of Sennheiser headphones. The first pair was more expensive, but the build and sound quality of this pair is far from diminished. Perhaps a bit expensive, but still a great product.

What's great about it: Advanced technology that can easily compete with Kinect
What's not so great: Can't find too many uses for it yet
The tech demo for this device is awesome and really impresses people, especially those not too familiar with technology. But beyond that, I've yet to see a use in a game that really impresses me. The auto-sign-in features that use facial recognition are pretty cool, and I think there are going to be tons of awesome applications for this, but unless you know of an awesome game that uses it, I would hold off. That being said, I bought this alongside an excellent bundle that gave me a big discount on the accessories and Geek Squad coverage as well. Overall a thumbs up!

What's great about it: Familiar, lightweight, responsive
What's not so great: Battery doesn't last as long as Dual Shock 3
At first I thought the touch pad feature of this controller would be useless, but after you get used to it, it can get you through some input entry screens pretty quickly. I've yet to use it on a game where the feature really impresses me, but I can see the potential. Vibration works great, light bar is pretty cool if you have the camera accessory. Overall just a more refined experience than the Dual Shock 3 with slightly decreased battery life. Nothing that a charging station or an extra controller or two can't fix.

What's great about it: Sound quality, flexibility of configuration, comfort
What's not so great: Battery life isn't amazing, but charges quickly
I've owned only one other pair of wireless headphones in the past, and I was hesitant to buy these for that reason. That experience was bad, but boy has the technology "made it". The setup of these bad-boys can be a tad tricky, but if you actually read the directions it's very simple. Once you have the wireless config done these are a dream. Light weight, cool on the ears, and they play at LOUD volumes for hours. I don't know how they compare to other wireless headphones, but I have an expensive pair of Sennheiser cans that don't sound that much better than these, and they aren't wireless. Thumbs up!

Battlefield 4 Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
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.

What's great about it: Graphics, Sound, Replayability
What's not so great: Loading screens get old, playing against the pros can be tough
I've never played an FPS I liked as much as this game. There's the perfect amount of realism to keep it from interfering with the fun, and ever level of the campaign mode is jaw-dropping. Multiplayer is still fun after more than 50 hours of gameplay, and I don't see that changing. Plus, if you sign up for Battlefield Premium you get all sorts of cool stuff every month. Big thumbs up.

What's great about it: Free games and early access to betas
What's not so great: Games aren't really free if you count paying for this
I think that this should probably just come with the PS4, but it's a great service to be signed up for if you want early access to betas and to download some of the great PSN games.

Sony - PlayStation 4 (500GB) - PRE-OWNED
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.

What's not so great: Gets a little hot
I was convinced to buy a PS4 and I'm very glad I did. The PSN and PlayStation experience is smooth and easy to use. Two wires to plug in and you're done. Great games, no useless features. Recommended.

Can you get a shorter cord (6ft) with the Mp3 plug I believe it is 2,5mm
Can we order a shorter cord more conducive to listening with an ipod. Also can you get a cord with the smaller tip 2.5 mm I believe for an ipod. I know there are adapters, but I want to know if I can get a shorter cord with that adapter.
These headphones come with a 3.5 mm adapter that works just fine for an iPad or iPod. The only thing to be wary of is that it makes the plug stand out about two or three inches from the device.
