Man, I wanted to loved these so much...i have the wired skullcrushers and they are amazing....The bluetooth makes it was easier to maneuver at work, however i keep having issues with the headset, i returned my first one because the blue tooth stopped working, now the sound quality is so shot and muffled almost its so frustrating...its great they have a lifetime warranty, however i shouldnt have to be returning 2 different headphones for different issues....the wired ones i have, i have never sent in, i also like the wired foam better than the memory foam in the bluetooth ones....the bluetooth are comfortable but it doesn't encase my whole ear, the wired ones do completely....so yeah 3 stars man....i'd recommend the original skullcrushers over these

Ok so maybe its because i'm pushing 30 years old next year...but this Battlefield has to be one of my favorite all time games. The campaign (although short) is amazing. The way they take you through the war in different views and characters was great....my only wish is that it was longer! I found this game to be way different than any other shooter and have been waiting for another "oldschool" war game since the 2nd call of duty that captured WWII....So this for me was fantastic....i cant comment too much on the multiplayer as i've only played a couple times and was attack/defend situations. Gameplay is great, if you want a challenge and for the campaign to take longer use the Hard difficulty...Normal is pretty easy (sometimes i'm like where are the rest of the guys).....maybe at some point they can tag on some extra missions as a pack? that would be awesome....
Is it worth $60? im not sure...i have the gamers club and then i had $10 in reward points so i only spent $40 on the game....the $40 was worth it and i'd probably spend $60 still....but anyways yeah, one of the best games i've played as far as uniqueness and coolness....go grab it..

I like the limited edition ones...especially when they are unique...
This one is probably my favorite controller they have released - i also own the Halo limited Master Chief controller. There are scratch marks through the A X Y B buttons...and also the script they use for the "A", "X", "Y" and "B" is unlike any other limited edition.
There are starch marks literally embedded into the controller so its pretty cool - as if an animal had claws strong enough to scratch it...
Feel is good, like most new controllers, so cant go wrong there.
3mm output jack is on the controller, so you can use any headset you prefer.

This thing is a beat! Literally. If you're looking for a small router, this is NOT for you. Its about the size of a dinner plate.
SET UP: this took me about 15min. I am a design engineer so these things are usually pretty easy for me. However, if you aren't tech savy, dont worry! The set up instructions they give you are really easy to follow.
SPEED: I was previously using a netgear wireless router, in which i need an extender for my entire house. This Linksys router doesn't even come close to needing an extender. The speed has drastically increased, my loading time on the WiFi has increase so fast its unreal, i certainly wasn't expecting this much of an increase. It probably increased my speed by 5x, easily.
APP: i'd highly recommend downloading the app, it has some minor flaws but easy to get around. This will allow you to see who is connected to your router, set parental controls (website access/block internet) and also allow you to change router name and password.
PROS: crazy fast speed, easy installation, individual ports, ability to prioritize devices that are connected (if you want your smart tv to stream movies and use more power than your phone, you can set that up), up to 6 devices can stream the same amount of power (rather than one taking up more - unless of course thats what you want, then prioritize).
CONS: the only con and it certainly isn't a con to me but could be for other people...the size, like i said its about the size of a dinner plate and there is no proper way to set it up vertically. (think of a dinner plate on the table, compared to placing it in the dishwasher) - it'll only properly lay like a plate would on the table...
Overall: HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended. Hadn't realized how much power i was losing of my internet connection through WiFi until i got this product. Great device, 3 years of service included.

Ok, so when giving a 5 star review, this product has to be FLAWLESS. Now, I'm not saying this product doesn't work, because it most definitely does. However, starting it up was a little more of a pain than I expected. First off, I am using this extender to extend my range in an old house, using a netgear router. This product says it can be used with ANY router (does not have to be linksys) so, at least for netgear, this is true. When setting this product up, the directions were pretty easy to follow. You start with the extender close to your router than you move it half way, connect and extend....well, i first moved it up to the room literally right above where my router is...NOTHING...then i moved it to the kitchen on the same floor...nothing, room next to it, nothing...then finally back into the room into a different socket..finally! ok so i once again head upstairs to a room close to the stairs, where i really wanted it to be and boom, it connected and STAYED connected. Where i would have 2 bars on wifi, i now have 3 due to the extender. Also my game system in my room is A LOT faster when streaming because i am connected to the extender rather than the router. So the effectivity of the signal extender is great, it really does work...Again, the reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because with the initial set up, you have to have some patience...if at first it does not connect, try doing the process all over again...sometimes it may "flick" on then off again, but just let it sit for a minute or two until you get that connection --- oh any another note, when using your phone you will have to continually select the extender when needed, otherwise it'll automatically connect to your router and not the extender.

Honestly, for a game that gets 4.5/5 i was expecting a lot more. My WWE game that i had for N64 is 10x better than this...seriously though.....
There are 2 buttons to use, X and B....X is hit, but is grapple, slap...i mean thats it. literally in a nut shell....
Its very frustrating the amount of time it takes your player to get back up after one knock down...the timing of everything has to be perfect in order for you to prevent them from keeping you down....the players are slow, graphics are good, girls are way more fat gameplay than they are in real life and its actually hilarious....
But honestly, within 10 minutes of playing this game i was extremely bored....there are just not enough controls...its so dumb (in my personal opinion).
Dont waste your money on the game unless youre an extreme WWE fan...i got this game expecting it to be entertaining...instead i was just annoyed.

Ok, First lets start it off by saying I have not played any of the previous Far Cry games. So I cannot compare to them.
Couple of things i'd like to point out. 1) Do the first 4/5 main missions before you start trying the side missions - i wondered off to the side missions and found them pretty hard without a trusty companion by my side! 2) this game times time, you must be patient - but again advance forward on the main missions to make things a lot easier on you when you're out and about.
Game play is sweet, story line is cool...there are some really trippy parts in the gameplay. Graphics are awesome, story line (so far) is great. Map is HUGE and i mean HUGE!
In a sense its kind of like Age Of Empires but 1st person. You have to gather resources to build your tribe, fend off enemy tribe, attack enemy tribes, you get to craft weapons and learn new skills as the game goes and you find more members of your tribe, kind of like age of empires with a mix of tomb raider, but again 1st person!
I would def recommend this game, be strategic about it! Lots of fun once you get going. I almost quit the game until i progressed more down the main missions to expand my character and his abilities.
Cool stuff tho, glad i bought the game.

I bought XBO when it first came out...boy was i excited, then let down...terribly let down :( i ended up selling the system and game i bought for cash about 2 weeks after i got the system.
Reasoning: xbox 360 had better arcade selection, XBO had like 3 games out at the time and they were all bad, HBO Go was not yet available, games with gold was not on XBO yet, not many people i knew had the system...
ok...flash forward to now..i bought this special package because the unique white was awesome - the only time they came out with a white before this was a different special edition that now sells for over $575...
Anyways, more games are now available...BETTER games...HBO Go is now on XBO as well as games with gold (although the games free on 360 are different than those on gold)....plus all the new games i really want are starting to fade away from 360 and being solely for XBO or PS4...
Now, let me compare a game real quick - FIFA 15 i have for 360 and i just downloaded it last night for about $20 on XBO marketplace....let me tell you...what a STEP UP in graphics - the crowd is actually a crowd, not pixles that move....the graphics are so much smoother and cleaner, they leave little footprints around on the XBO after the game goes on (like in real life) and it does NOT do this with the 360...gameplay is a lot smoother and faster and just more real than the 360....
i dont know if i would have picked that up without having it for both systems....
anyways, you get a blue ray with it as well (so basically think of deducting $70 as if you were to buy a blu ray separately from the console)...subtract the 70 from 350 and you're basically paying $280 for a sweet system and the collection of Halo games...
Buy it, keep your 360 if you must like i am...but its definitely time to upgrade

Ok, lets be honest. I'm 27 years old, im SO tired of playing these kind of games online with 12 and 13 year old's. But lets get to the real review here....
Is it different? you bet it is...Do i like it, yes and no. When the game first came out it was great because not everyone was familiar with the halo style jumping which made it real easy for me to get kills ;) However, after a week (or less) after people got used to the jump packs, it became almost too annoying. So what did i do? i switched my online gaming to the "old-school" way. No boost jumping, just the plain old COD. Boy what a difference. Not only in game play but how you view each map. With the jumping, all you were concerned about were roof tops, you know...finding a place to land or jump onto. When switching from the "new-style" to the old, i found it to be a lot cooler. By that i mean, the maps seemed WAY bigger because there was no more just jumping like idiots all over the place and it was really like another map, finding places and spots you were unaware of because with the "new-style" there was just jumping really....
The guns...well, they are OK...really just OK....
Character customization is great, i love the fact that you can make your own emblem again, i hate that you couldn't with Ghost (yes i know, different publishers - but still). The "hordes" as i call them or the continuous waves of enemies is pretty challenging, especially if you're with complete idiots....get a good team and it will be fun AND challenging...
Overall 3 stars, why? like i said with the game play, too much jumping around, too many "tweens" playing the game, its just blahh really....gets super annoying super fast - my suggestion is to play the "classic" mode online...
Single player is fun, i always liked single player, usually finished that first before multiplayer but that's just me
recommend it? ( i said yes) - depends who you are i guess...if youre online and have a good server with minimal lag and people who can play and not complaing 24/7 or hear them yelling to their parents then its cool, other than that COD has seemed to slip away from a "mature" audience to tweens using mommy and daddy's money...too bad

EA servers are horrible. They never have been built well and this, once again shows that. If you don't have the best Internet connection anywhere (I have 50mbs from time warner) then don't bother - you will continually get kicked time and time again and if you do get on it'll lag. so unless you have 100mbs connection, I wouldn't bother - the graphics are ok, it's annoying how every time the game is turned on you have to sit thru the intro and can't skip it / guess that's how they advertise? there are very few game modes and the class set ups are strange. this game had potential but it seems as if they just threw it in a pile and said ok release it. again biggest issue are EA servers and the amount of time everyone seems to get booted from their servers.

Self Calibration...Service Required ....

These above notes appeared on my 8500 screen. We live in Florida, where it gets VERY hot in the car.

What's causing this??

I have put a white slip of paper over the top of the unit to shield it from direct sun rays.
think of your radar as a tool in a quality inspection tool box at a company.

every so often these "tools" need to be calibrated, to make sure they are measuring correctly so inspection can pass/fail the product properly.

or think of it as a "tune-up" like you get done on your car....not to worry, just get it calibrated - there should be a local shop that cna do this

can police detect this device when I drive the car?
depends on where you live.

There are states (VA being one) where they are illegal....they DO have things that can detect this in your car - if you are going through a state where its illegal (and i advice you to check) put the radar detector IN YOUR TRUNK. Even if its in your back seat, they can still write you a hefty fine....but if its in your trunk, they cannot and dont let them bully you to convince you they can...

check your state laws, usually where they are illegal they will have something that can detect if you have it in your car....sure cops hate it, but where its not illegal dont worry about it
