First I will start off why I gave this review a two, the product itself works as intended and Viper is an amazing product if you care about your cars look and security.
I purchased this a few months ago and had a terrible experience that has made me never want to use Geek Squad for anything, ever again. I complained numerous times to managers, geek squads agents (the installers that worked on my car) and even emails but got no where with any of them.
Here is my recent email *Anything in () is not part of the email, just to fill in some blanks.
--
"Hello, I purchased a Viper 5706v unit and was installed in my 2015 Subaru Forester at the Yonkers Central Avenue location.
When I got the item shipped to my house, I had the installer at this location attempt to install it within my car. I took off from work to have the employee work on my Forester, and he PROMISED it would be done that day, so I went to the movies near that Best Buy while he worked on it. When I get out, he tells me ''I'm almost done'' About 45 minutes to a hour pass and he then tells me ''I can't do it sorry''
(He then goes on to explain that a certain wire is to short on the car, and since I do not know anything about how to install these, I just told him to direct me to someone that could finish the job)
I was extremely annoyed and disappointed in this. Taking off work, and instead of telling me up front that he didn't know what he was doing, he wasted my entire day and time.
I was then directed by this same employee to set up an appointment with a different Geek Squad mobile installer - I went to do this but did not have any paperwork or emails about the work that was done to my car from the Yonkers/Central avenue location to inform the other agent. (Only receipts.)
After calling numerous times (about a dozen times) to get help about this, I was told the day before my scheduled install with the next agent, that I would NOT be seeing the agent I was assigned to and that I would be transfer to another Agent at the Mount Vernon Best Buy. location.
When I had the car worked on by this employee, he told me that the previous installer failed to give me back all the parts that came with the 5706v unit (a 2 point connector switch or something) So I had to drive BACK to the Central ave location to get the part, then come back to Mount Vernon to get the car worked on. ( He refused to open a new unit for the missing part at his Best Buy location. )
(After getting everything and driving back and forth) The agent then started working on the car and told me the previous installer 'made a mess' with the wires, and then had to re-wire the entire 5706v unit and the modules. This increased the time by a few hours according to him. He then guided me through how to use the unit and was for the most part very professional in trying to fix any other issues.
Then two days ago I went to a Subaru dealership in the Bronx (Milea) as the car was acting up (bunch of lights on the dash board lit up at once) They replaced two different things to fix the problem, (one being the ''Break light switch'') but at the time of fixing it, they had to go near the wires where the remote start was installed (inside the car, under the steering wheel) and I was told from the Subaru tech. that ''Whoever put in your remote start, really didn't know what they we're doing. The wires and device look like they were shoved into the space and the wires look like tangled spaghetti'' He said that it may cause issues in the future because of the unprofessional work that was done. (He did not say that this caused my issues, but he also said there was a chance)
I am highly disappointed in this, and I will most likely never use Geek Squad services again.
-End email-
I am them told in person at Subaru that due to the unprofessional install from Geek Squad, that if I ever have any electronic problems, my warrant may not cover it if the remote start install is to blame.
I trusted Best Buy and Geek Squad to do this professionally, but numerous techs from Subaru all agreed that the work done looks very sloppy and unprofessional. Be sure you know the agent has prior history to installing these devices.
I even contacted Best Buy about this in hopes they could do something right by me, since the 1st installer straight up lied to me, telling me he could do the install with no problem, and all the chaos going back and forth. Never have I received an email back or a phone call about these issues.
Best Buy may have lost a customer for life.

I was looking for a great detector for quite some time, and after many hours of research and getting suggestions from people, I chose the ESCORT 9500IX.
The price is a bit steep, but you really get what you pay for. It's worth every penny. I love that I can mark 'traps' / 'zones' for the device to remember using GPS.
My only dislike for this device is that life-time maps are not free, or cheaper. Paying every years doesn't seem right to me. But if it does it's job correctly, I will over-look this.

This is the only other controller I would ever think of using on PC. The other being the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wired Controller.
If you find the Playstation 2 and 3 controllers to be to small for your hands, or don't like the analog stick layout, I wouldn't purchase this item as it has the same look and feel as those controllers.
If that is not a problem, then you found a great controller for cheap.

 The Order: 1886 Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
The Order: 1886 Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
Courage and honor. The protection of the weak. Nobility and honesty. Skill in combat. Leadership. When you think of knights, there are a few qualities that come to mind. No matter who you ask, from nearly any time in the last handful of centuries, you'll get the same answers every time — because to earn the title of a knight, you must possess the nature of a hero. Would the same hold true in an alternate universe? Will the meaning of a knight always be upheld?See if you possess the qualities of a true knight and join The Order, an elite community of knights that has been engaged in a centuries-old war — a war that will determine the course of history forever. Even in this unique version of Victorian-era London, the knights fight on the side of good, attempting to protect man from a powerful and ancient foe. So harness the technologically advanced weaponry, gather your courage and fight for honor — it's your duty.

I was looking forward to this game when it was first teased a few years ago.. I am highly disappointed.
This 'game' if you want to call it that, is almost like a movie - You spend more time walking and listening to dialouge than anything else.
I wouldn't purchase this game until it goes down to the 20 dollar range, and even then, I think I would spend my money on something else.

MLB The Show 15 does exactly what it needs to do to stay relevant and on top of all other baseball games. Don't change what works.
This game is the closet you can get to realism without actually playing the sport itself, just like all the other installments.
Some new features in this game include:
Carry-over franchises - IF you played MLB The Show 14 on PS4, you can transfer over your franchise from that game to the new game and continue your franchise on the new game.
Licensed gear - Players and stadiums will now show licensed gear; such as Nike, UnderArmor, Franklin and more.
Real-time sun and shadows for every stadium.

BLOODBORNE is the game that every Demon's Souls and Dark Souls fan hopes it would be..
Fresh, new, amazing, and different.. but somehow still very familiar to those games.
Unlike the Souls games, BLOODBORNE takes on a different approach in combat - a more, in your face type of approach. There isn't many shields in this game, so you rely more on dodging, and counter-attacks.
I recommend this to anyone that want's to play a game that is tough and rewarding, and doesn't just hand you victory. I also recommend this game to any Demon / Dark Souls fans, as FROMSOFTWARE and Hidetaka Miyazaki has made another master-piece.

SOCOM 4 was Zipper Interactives last hope in saving the beloved SOCOM series.
In short; they failed.
SOCOM 4 was plagued with online bugs, and many other issues, and really didn't feel so much like the original SOCOM trilogy on Playstation 2 ( and this is the main reason why this game failed )
The online servers have also been shut down for this game, so if you purchase this, you can only play the Single Player campaign, which is pretty short.
Zipper Interactive actually closed down after this game, so...
I do not recommend this game.

At the launch of the Playstation 3, there was only a select few games you could choose from.
Most of them were sports games, the others were Call of Duty 3 and RESISTANCE. I went with RESISTANCE, and did not regret it.
The graphics are a bit dated for the Playstation 3, but that's not an issue since True Gamers do not just care about the Gfx.
This game also allows you to co-op the entire Single Player campaign, and that's the main reason I recommend this game.
The online servers have been shut down for all the RESISTANCE titles, so if you are looking for online MP, look else where.

MAG was one of those games you either loved or hated on the Playstation 3.
It was one of the first console games on Playstation 3 to have massive online Player vs Player matches.
I would of recommended this game, back when it came out, but now I can't.
This is simply because the ONLINE SERVERS have been shut down, and the game is literally a paper-weight.
It does not have any single player campaign, and with the servers shut down, the most it can do is collect dust.
DO NOT BUY THIS.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is not really a problem tho, if you live in a state where it is LEGAL to own them (Which is most of the United States)

Is this a good headset?

I want a good headset that sounds great and I hear that Corsair makes good gaming gear but i dont know if the microphone is good because im going to do lots of streaming and recording my voice using the microphone.
Looking at reviews on other websites, it's not very good. You might be better off looking at other headsets in that price range.
