This is a good product and seems to be stable when both controllers are on it. The only desire I have which I think loses a star is that it doesn't lock the controller in tighter when on the base. It took a little finagling to get the controllers on and not bump the other when setting the second one in. I recommend starting at the bottom and then top, but it is your life. I like that I can charge anywhere and I can keep them closer to my playing chair versus by the PS4 as was previously done. For the value there are many like it and the energizer one seemed to have that locking feature, but the cost difference isn't enough to return this one. I am happy with this unit and would happily recommend it.

The latest installment for the "legacy" game systems is a great twist to the series! It ties a lot of different stories from previous releases and ties in to the "next generation" consoles Assassin's Creed Unity! It has some similar technical issues from Unity, mainly the control of the character is degraded from other versions of Assassin's Creed. I liked Black Flag, but the sailing took away from the single player mission and this is not much different. The big advantage is the ship is fully armed and there isn't the incessant need to upgrade the ship to move forward in the story.
Overall I like the plot twist and the character development in this game.

There isn't too much to say, but the book is like having a YouTube walk through in the palm of your hands. It is great for reading on trips and developing your game strategy. It is great that they give you details about the storyline and the characters.
I enjoy reading it for fun and seeing what I can expect from the game. It brings me back to the days of Nintendo Power and the excitement of playing a game and having the edge!

 Assassin's Creed: Unity Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
Assassin's Creed: Unity Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
Paris 1789 — the once-hub of cultural and intellectual activity has been thrown into bloody chaos in the midst of the tense French Revolution. Commoners have become tired of the oppressive regime of the aristocrats and have finally gathered the courage to confront the hierarchy with the pangs of the present inequality. As the nation of France tears apart at the seams, splitting into different factions, a young man named Arno sets off on a journey to reveal the true powers behind the Revolution. In the process of seeking the truth, Arno must face a ruthless struggle as he seeks to carve out a new destiny for the nation he holds dear.From the storming of the Bastille to the execution of King Louis XVI, experience the French Revolution in all its remarkable, gory detail as never before in Assassin's Creed: Unity. With an all-new game engine, Revolutionary Paris is rendered in incredibly realistic detail, letting you freely explore the open world of 18th century Paris. Navigate your way through complex building interiors, discover secret catacombs and slink through sewer systems. Featuring realistic, systemic crowds of up to 5,000 AI-driven characters, you'll feel as if you're truly in the throngs of the city. Play as Arno — a developing Master Assassin — embarking on ancestral missions, treasure hunts, murder mysteries, contracts and other heart-pounding adventures. Eliminate enemy threats with a wide range of new weapons, including the Phantom Blade, which combines a hidden blade with crossbow capabilities for ultimate devastation. Utilize full-motion control with parkour mechanics, so you can freely run up, down and across city walls and buildings. Want to remain discreet? Enhanced stealth gameplay makes it easy to stay hidden as you stalk your prey and strike without warning. Customize your play experience by choosing from hundreds of possible combinations of weapons, gear, outfits and specialized skills. Take part in an epic single-player campaign or join up with 3 friends online. You and your lethal band must rely on communication skills to successfully accomplish a slew of missions — sabotage an execution, protect an emperor, assassinate a Templar agent and more. Do you have the skills needed to reverse the fate of an entire city?

This series is extremely addicting and fun to play, but Unity was rushed to market. The game is very glitchy and the control is severely degraded from previous games. It didn't seem to matter which system it was played on (I play on the PS4), Xbox one or PS4, the flawed coding resulted in frustrating game play. They have been releasing patches, but they haven't fixed a majority of the game play issues. Ubisoft has recently released the statement regarding these issues and have given the upcoming release of the DLC packs away for free to all who purchased the game. (Buy now to get the free content guarantee), which is disheartening to me personally since I purchased the Season Pass and was supposed to get the discounted DLC with that purchase. They also are addressing this by giving away a game to those who purchased the Season Pass, but I would rather get my money back or applied to the next preorder. (Again if you want a game for $30, buy the season pass now to get the more costly game free in the future.)
The game is interesting and fun, but I as a single player and not a network player, am a little disappointed by the heavy incorporation of the multiplayer features as a requirement to fully advance the character. *Note: you don't need the multi player to complete the story line, but to truly clear all areas and max out the character, you need the network part.
I hope the next version of the series, they really do more quality control and take their time as I can wait to play a great game, at a level of quality I expect from a well organized franchise.

This device works as advertised, just not at the quality expected. The chromecast works initially by connecting directly to its setup network, then once set up, changes to a device on the local (joined) WiFi system. This is where the quality is lost. If they had kept the peer to peer connection, it would have been a faster direct connection and improved quality overall. I primarily purchased this to use when traveling, staying in hotels to play my personal content on the bigger tv screen. Internet speeds are very limited and slow at hotels and thus makes the chromecast barely usable.
It would be nice to have the option to use the peer to peer connection to play content directly to the tv versus streaming from the Internet to the device then to the chromecast.
On a hardware note, this thing gets very hot! Make sure it is well ventilated and don't remove it after prolonged use immediately. It is recommended to use the USB on the tv, but in my experience it stayed cooler when using the included wall plug. (Still very hot, just not as hot when plugged into the TV.)
If you think this will steam the content as it does on your device, you will be pretty disappointed with the quality. Overall though it is a good device to use at an extremely low cost.

What's great about it: Action and storyline
What's not so great: Some scenes move too fast for a good storyline foundation
This is a great second film in the series and actually is better than the first! This brings more character development and shows a connection between the avengers and the agents of shield tv series! It is highly recommended to watch and if you haven't seen the tv series, it is a great time to start.

What's great about it: Price, ease of setup, and included game
What's not so great: Controller has internal battery versus accessible battery pack.
Purchased the bundle as a way to play Assassins Creed Unity and get access to extras set to be released for the PS4 only. I haven't purchased a PS console since the PS2 and really am excited to see what I have missed. The bundle comes with a 3-month play station online access and the game Destiny. I don't play online as my time is limited and I regularly enjoy the single player modes, I am hoping this won't hinder access to features and updates like season pass and add on packs!
The graphics have been very cool and the system performs very well. I do strongly recommend purchasing a cooling fan for the system if you want to place it in a tv stand where airflow is less than open. This thing gets hot while playing and the fan seems to struggle to keep up.
I really am disappointed that my controller has no battery pack where I could play immediately after setting up. You connect with a USB cable and it starts to charge. This is irritating as the controller will eventually need to be replaced versus simply replacing the batteries. This may sound like a minor gripe, but a $3 set of batteries versus a $50 controller is a much better value.
The controller is very comfortable and the wider footprint is a great step for someone who solely played XBOX and got used to the controller.
I have enjoyed the limited time playing with the system so far and will be playing more in the near future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does this game as of 7/15/16 still come w/ a free The Division key?

As far as I am aware, yes. You can verify it on the Logitech website, but I believe they are honoring the units specifically marked with the Tom Clancy marketing logos. If it doesn't have the game info, you may have to verify further with Logitech.

does work windows 7 64 bit home premium desktop computer?

I know nothing about technical stuff of computers. use a home desktop windows 7 home premium got new in 2009 mostly for necessity as banking, paying bills, etc. I'm now legally blind not drive anymore or have internet phone, etc. i often have to bring the keyboard closer to me to see it but the cord makes it very hard to do. i want a cordless/wireless one for this issue alone. will this work for this purpose? thx. much .
The keyboard works on any current Windows version. If you are having a difficult time seeing, this may not be the best choice in keyboards. The keys are smaller and it is a grey on grey contrast for the letters (not back lit).
This keyboard from Walmart is what my old department chair used for his severe retinal degeneration.
http://goo.gl/BTwhRF

Best Buy sells a multi color back lit version which I like better for $5 more. Same large letter features, but with back lighting on the keys.

Yes, if you are streaming from the device (iPad, iPhone, tablet, PC, etc) and from a supported app. If you can stream it in the chrome browser from the network it will also be able to send it to chromecast. The chromecast device must connect to some intermediary device (listed above) and have a qualifying app or browser to send the content to.
