This game was built with issues and sent out with issue. it is a bad sign when it requires a 15 GB patch in the first week. The game seems poorly built and not well thought out. I will play it because I paid for it but I am not enthused.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Banana clips are the best way to connect speakers to a receiver. Some are better than others. These were a little cumbersome on the first wire but got easier with experience. Nice solid connection.

I purchased this receiver open box. However, it has turned out to be an outstanding receiver. It connected easily and quickly. Using HDMI Arc is a great time saver. The sound is top notch. I would recommend this brand receiver to anyone.

Can I wear my glasses with the unit?
I am planning on seeing if there are any holdiay sales in November and get a PSVR 2
However, I have found a company that makes inserts for the head set to your prescription.
.
Just do a search for PSVR lenses

Floodlight Cam Wired Plus is the next generation of our bestselling Floodlight Cam. Protect large outdoor areas like the driveway, garage or backyard with motion-activated LED floodlights, 1080p HD video, and a built-in security siren. Customize the motion zones to monitor specific areas and get real-time notifications when motion is detected. Use the Ring App to see what’s happening, turn on the lights, speak to visitors, and even sound the siren when you need to. It also comes with a free 30-day trial of Ring Protect Plus, so you can review, save and share all your Ring videos at anytime, with anyone.
Will the motion sensor activate both the lights and the camera, and set off the notification on my phone? Is the camera always enabled, so it detects motion and I get a ring notification?
You can set a schedule for your camera or have it always enabled.
Via ring bridge and the app you create groups of devices.
I have one with camera on one side of my garage and one without on the other. I also have a Ring lightbulb in the lantern next to my door.
If either sensor detects motion it can turn both floods on and the single bulb. And the flood without camera can turn on the camera at the same time.
What I am thinking I could do it get another bulb for inside the house and have it set to turn on when the motion sensor detects something and it could be a silent alert.
That might get annoying but it is an option.

Does this security camera/floodlight include a motion sensor?
Yes it does. It is on the bottom.
Using the app on your phone you can even draw in a rudimentary fashion the zone it will detect in.

From what I see on the App you can set the Linked devices to react when the Motion sensor on the Camera Flood detects movement. I speculate you can have all ring lights in and around your house light up when it detects motion.
I have one flood with a camera and another without, on either side of the garage. The one with the camera is near my front door.
I have it set if something enters the sensor from the one without the camera it will light up both and start video on the other, and light up the Ring bulb I have next to my door.

I am thinking about installing this as my main entry way lighting. Is there an option to use the floodlight feature alone without video?
I do not think there is an option for not using video. I just looked at my app and could not see an option.
However, if you don't want video you can purchase the Floodlight with motion sensor for a lot less.
I installed one of each.
