I suppose it's a good pack if you have all of the different devices in the DS family. However if you've got just one style like 2DS for example or *NEW* 3ds then you're going to ultimately have some styluses that don't fit. Only buy if you have multiple different DS or don't mind it not fitting in the built in slot on the DS.

forget about Destiny or Elder Scrolls, this is the best "MMO" port to a console I've played. It did have stability issues in the beginning with the servers but that has since passed and I thoroughly enjoy the urban sprawl of NY City. If you ever lived there or visited this game will give you nostalgia.

Turtle Beaches are over priced and the clarity of sound isn't superior to the AG9s I purchased. I'll update this review if my feelings change but so far I've had them for about two months and I'm very happy about my purchase.

If you've played any of the halos it's what you've come to expect. I don't buy this whole new era of Halo talk. Good news is that if you enjoyed the previous Halo games you'll like this one too.

however, I do find it ridiculous the cheaper 2DS comes with a charger and the more expensive NEW 3DS does not come with one. Neither here nor there, it's a quality charger.

 Seagate - Backup Plus Slim for Mac 1TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Silver/Black
Seagate - Backup Plus Slim for Mac 1TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Silver/Black
The Save feature of this 1TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim for Mac STDS1000100 external hard drive allows you to easily back up digital content from your favorite social networks. The slim, metal design makes it simple to transport the hard drive.
 

PC and Mac?

The guy at Best Buy said the "Seagate Backup Plus for Mac" would work for Windows computers also, I have worked on this for hours trying to get this to work. He said it has the windows logo on the side and it would work, I bought (2) one for me and one for my Wife's computer. We live about 75 miles from Best buy. cant get it to read either computer. Does anyone know what the problem is?
You have to reformat the harddrive to whatever your file system is on the Windows PC. NTFS Is what most windows harddrives use as their format. Most of the time if you plug it in to a windows based PC and attempt to enter the harddrive or save data to it you'll be prompted to ask if you'd like to reformat.

Hope that points you in the right direction

 Logitech - G930 Wireless Gaming Headset - Black
Logitech - G930 Wireless Gaming Headset - Black
This headset features gaming-grade wireless range up to 40'. The 7.1-channel surround sound with advanced Dolby technology lets you hear opponents before they see you.
 

How comfortable is it during extended gaming seshions?

Other then a little sweat around the ears it's very comfortable, but due to the nature of the material hugging around ears despite it being plush and not hurting your skin a little natural perspiration will happen there. You mostly won't feel it at all until you take the headphones off.

So yes, extended gameplay isn't an issue. They're bulky though ( not that you actually feel the weight of it but the size of them is still notable )so "laying down" with them or something like that isn't really an issue. It's meant for having your head essentially upright. Slouching, laying down but head titled up, sitting up in your computer chair, etc. all good postures for extended use.

Does this come with a wireless port?

does it come with the proper cords too?
It comes with a small ( soda can width ) but about an inch thick station that you plug the wireless receiver into and it in turn plugs into your laptop/pc. The opposite end of the charging station plugs into your headset for charging.

So it runs via USB 3.0 - No other plugs available or necessary
