Microsoft - Play & Charge Kit for Xbox One - Black
Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

Stop replacing batteries all the time. This charge kit replaces the regular batteries. You can charge it while playing. Modern controllers also power your gaming headsets and vibrate. Energy consumption is higher so this is a great fit.

I purchased this for use with an Xbox One S. I was concerned that running it through the controller would deplete the battery quickly. While it does require more charging you can charge the controller while using it. Sound quality is good but not great and my daughter says players sometimes have a hard time hearing her. After a couple hours of gaming it does get a little uncomfortable. Overall it is a really good budget gaming headset.

I purchased this headset for use while working at home for video meetings computer phone calls. I was worried that it would be uncomfortable for long term wearing but it actually is not uncomfortable The microphone is responsive and the audio is crisp and clear. I also use it for listening to music while I work and the sound quality is good. I think it would also work very well for home gaming as well.

Doom has a long history that helped define the genre. The graphics engine is spectacular but I feel the story line is weak. There really is not a lot of finesse to game play and the scenarios tend to get repetitive. The multiplayer H2H aspect was a little clunky and could use refinement. I would still recommend playing it but my expectations were to high for it.

This game was a lot of fun, great graphics, and one of the very few times I didn't turn off the music. However, this game could greatly benefit from a Fast Travel option. The game does get pretty repetitive in that your quite often doing the same parkour tricks quite often and you tend to go from point A to B to C etc. Certainly not open world. And the game is short, I did all missions and finished in about 21 hours. If it had not been for the ability to skip cut scenes it would have added about 4 to 5 hours.

I have wanted a color laser at home for some time but they were so very expensive. When my ink jet printer quit working I found this printer on sale. What a great value. I don't print photos anymore so this is a perfect fit. It is fully network capable. I can copy, scan direct to my computer, and as a bonus I can print from my phone or from my work to the printer using a email address that belongs to the printer. The only drawback is that it is cumbersome when trying to change paper sizes and selecting from a specific tray.

As with almost all Apple products they are well built and have a very high quality of sound. However, as with all Apple products they are expensive. I would suggest also getting a carrying case that can attach to a back pack or something.

When I asked for a mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter the words VGA confused the young associate but he found what I needed.
Super easy, just plugged it in, attached my monitor, and adjusted the display setting on my computer

I know you can connect different devices to these speakers but how about 2 computers so I can share the surround between 2 of my systems?
I have it hooked up to my gaming computer using the primary Intel HD audio connections and I also have it hook up to my work computer via 3.5 mm to RCA inputs on the sub. I listen to music on it while working and it sounds great. Better from the primary inputs, but still good.

How many watts is the subwoofer?
The subwoofer is 165 watts.
Not enough in my mind for supporting home theater, but I have the sub less than 2 feet from my chair and it is really solid for computer gaming.

Can I use this system with a television?
Provided your TV has the proper out puts you can input it into the system.
Though I do feel it is set up best for a Computer. The input from your TV could use the digital audio inputs or from the TV's headphone jack
there is no HDMI

Does it have a bass knob or settings to adjust bass like other Logitech speakers?
There is a button on the remote to adjust levels.
You have the ability to independently adjust the Center, Sub, rears (both together) and fronts (both together)
I have the sub on the floor next to my chair and I can feel the vibration.

I see it’s out of stock. Do you plan to ever carry again?
They were out of stock when I found out about them. I put them in my saved area and set it up for notification. I received the notice and purchased them immediately. There must have been only one becuase I looked again in a few minutes and it said out of stock

I saw on the logitec website these speakers for 399$. Why are these so cheep here? Are the these brand new or Fixed??
I got them brand new from BB priced at $299. I was also curious as getting brand new or open box. The system was brand spanking new and did not look touched at all.

Would this be compatible with a Dell XPS 8900 Desktop. It has Intel(R) Chipset SATA/PCIe RST Premium Controller. Processor is Intel i7-6700 CPU @3.4 GHz. Could this SSD be plugged in and designated as the boot up device ? Thanks!
You will need to see if your computer has an available PCI Express 3.0 slot available
From what I can see on the specs for this computer it should have one.
However, I would recommend having a Geek Squad member do the work for you.
Installing the card is pretty easy. But the process of switching it to the boot drive is more tricky.
It may be more cost effective to buy a new computer.
