Acer 27" S271HL DBID LED HD Monitor: The thin design lets you place this large monitor almost anywhere — even hang it on the wall (wall mount sold separately). Great for playing video games, showing movies, viewing documents side by side, and enlarging photos during the editing process.

I paid the $149 sale price, and it is an excellent monitor for that price. The base is relatively sturdy for its size, the bezels are small, and the monitor is light. Picture quality is good, its a bit cooler than my other monitor, but that may be the settings that I haven't really played with. At the 'original' price, its probably still a good buy, but opens up to more competition.

I've been a fan of chromecasts since the first version, this version is the most reliable as far as resuming playback from your phone/tablet/etc. It will 'disconnect' from you phone's netflix (or similar) app, but reconnect faster and more reliably than the older models.

The mouse is sturdy, has customizable weight, fits well in the hand (I have larger hands/longer fingers), and glides well on most surfaces. The buttons can be programmed to use mouse functions, keyboard keys, or macros (which are useful for entering repetitive text or similar). Also, the 2-mode scroll wheel (freewheel vs clicky) is extremely useful to switch back and forth on.

These don't use fast charge, so its just a basic wall adapter. That said, I've never had one break.

General Di Ravello was the head of the occupying force that originally seized power, and has remained in power ever since.

Great game, albeit with a few minor (in my experience, anyway) issues. I've only had a couple of the framerate drops and only 1 excessive load time with about 35% completion. It built on the good stuff from 2, but is bigger and better.

These are more comfortable than any other headphones/sets that I own. The sound is great, the controller adapter is solid and works well, and the mic monitoring works well. The mic is very sensitive on the quiet room preset - you can almost whisper to it even with it 6 inches from your mouth. The medium preset is a good all-around preset, and I haven't had a chance to use loud room. I also use it for my phone now.

Got this for my girlfriend (she had a much older version) - she likes it quite a bit, and now there is a sim version of me running around somewhere...
The game does look good compared to the older versions, and should actually run well on a moderate pc/mac as well.
Note - this game comes with DVDs, but it also has a code that you redeem on origin to download the game.

How long is the cord that connects the headset to the console?

Is another cord able to be connected to the headset if this one isn't long enough? Curious if the cord would make it from the couch to the console without creating tugging.
The cord connects to the Headset Audio Controller (included) that connects to the controller - so no need to plug it into the console. I don't know the exact length off-hand, but its gotta be three feet or more - its plenty to go from the controller to your head, even with the controller resting on a tale in front of you or something.
