Games, add-ons and media content sold separately. Initial setup and some games and features require broadband Internet; ISP fees apply. Online multiplayer requires Xbox Live Gold membership (sold separately). Multiplayer between Xbox 360 and Xbox One not supported. See Xbox.com/XboxOne.
Great Entertainment Center
Customer Rating

What's great about it: Voice Command
What's not so great: Still uses AA Batteries
I ended up getting both the PS4 and Xbox One, and I have to say that overall they have a lot of similarities. The big difference, in my opinion, is that the Xbox One is more of an Entertainment Center and the PS4 is more of a Gaming Center. As far as gaming goes, I see a slight improvement in graphics, but overall the game play has not changed much other than adding voice commands through the kinect. This is a cool feature, and I love being able to shout out commands as I am running and gunning, but it is minimal, and wouldn't think twice if it was removed. Where the Xbox shines is how it interfaces with your TV. I love being able to switch quickly between my Xbox and TV without effort. Being able to pull up Amazon Prime, Netflix, or HuluPlus vocally without having to switch between multiple devices feels like I am in the future. I used to use my PS for watching blurays, but I have switched to using my Xbox so I do not have to switch between TV video inputs. Also, I'm someone that gets distracted easily and will pause a movie during the boring parts and do something else or watch something else and come back, so this fits perfectly for me. I switch to something else, and when I get bored with that, I switch back. As far as the PS4, that is more of a gaming console. When I play a game on the PS4, the graphics are stunning and easy to contrast to last gen. With the needed improvement to its controller to align more to Xbox's design, I do not feel as hampered playing FPSs. Also the PS controller has a speaker within the controller, so when I picked up an audiolog and heard it through my controller for the first time while hearing the game from my TV, it was an absolutely amazing experience. I can not wait for the next Dead Space iteration as I can only imagine how awesome the audio experience will be. So after about a month, I've fallen into a habit of gaming with my PS4, but since I'm a casual gamer, I end up spending majority of my time on my Xbox as I tend to relax most watching TV and movies. So depending on your preferences for entertainment and relaxation, either console is great, but if I could only select one option, I would prefer the Xbox over the PS as it aligns more to my personal preferences for entertainment.
As far as the controller using AA batteries, I know this has been a contested complaint between many users with a lot of people finding it a frivolous complaint. For me, with the money spent and the next gen advertising that went on, I expected the power source of my controller to be more akin to my smartphone than my flashlight. If Microsoft wants to make money off of add-on products, they should have followed Sony's lead and gave one short cord for multiple controllers and sell charging stations or additional charging cords separately.

What's great about it: Priced very well
I bought five to place on the chandelier above the dining room table. The brightness of all five is amazing, and I can't believe the wattage is less than 1 bulb that I used previously. Recommend purchasing online though, as the price is $8-9 cheaper than going into the store.

What's great about it: Free Games- Online Play
What's not so great: Needed for PS4 to play online
Not too much of a fan of having to pay to use the online feature of games, but I have to say that Sony does a great job of offering additional benefits so it does not feel like I'm being nickeled and dimed above any beyond my $60 game purchased. Getting free games, some of them blockbusters is awesome. Free backgrounds, and other extras really help justify the cost.

Insignia™ - 800-Lumen, 60-Watt Equivalent Dimmable A19 LED Light Bulb - Warm White
Upgrade your home lighting with this Insignia™ NS-LED60FB dimmable LED light bulb that delivers 800 lumens of light, equivalent to a 60W incandescent bulb, for more than 22 years of illumination. The omnidirectional design provides even lighting.
New and Improved?
What is the difference between this bulb and the NS-LED60F you sell?
I had the same question. Went to insignia's website, and from what I gather the NS-LED60F was the previous version with a slightly higher wattage than the A19. They both have the same number of Lumens, but different wattage and design.
