It's RAM. It does what it's supposed to do, and it does it well. The 2 sticks of 16GB help me get the 32GB I wanted with just 2 available slots. PNY has always worked well for me.

These are great SSDs for standard users. I have installed about 15 of these drives. All installs were upgrades for standard users. They are fast enough, and reliable. All users have been very happy with the speed increase. Add that in with the price, and this gets 5 stars. *240GB version review

Finally found a pair in stock! This headset sounds great on PS5 and connected to my iPad. I have not tried on a PC, but my old PS4 gold headset worked great, so I'm sure these do as well. All you do is plug the dongle into your PC. They do not have Bluetooth, which is the only downside in my opinion, but you have to sacrifice if you want that extended battery time. All in all a great headset that sounds good to my old ears.

Great system! I love the new dashboard. It's different from the PS4, but once you get used to it, it's awesome. Load times for PS5 games are amazing. I can tell a difference in the load times and framerates of PS4 games played on my PS5 vs my PS4Pro. No regrets, no complaints, and no issues. External SSD works great with PS4 games stored on it. Here is a tip: To save space on the internal storage, turn off video recording of trophies. The PS5 will take a pic and record 15(?) seconds of video when you get a trophy. Leave the pics on, and turn off the vids.

Play on with this versatile Nintendo Switch power adapter. Made specifically for your Nintendo Switch game system, this adapter works with any 120V outlet and plugs into your device via an integrated USB Type-C connector. Charge your system quickly and efficiently when you make this Nintendo Switch power adapter part of your gaming kit.
 

Why does this page not specify the voltages and amperes of the devices, both IN and OUT? I’m specifically interested in the output voltage/amperage/wattage. Give me two of those and I’ll figure out the third. INPUT and OUTPUT Volts/Amps should be listed!

These Brother genuine TN850 black toner cartridges work with select Brother laser and all-in-one printers for a precise fit.
 

Why is a two pack more expensive than buying two single packs? Usually the price is the same or cheaper, not more expensive.

I'm a best buy elite plus member. How come we don't get the right to buy this item before anyone else does considering how much money we spend yearly? Doesn't sound like we are elite at all if there no benefits like i just mentioned.

They don't care how much you spend. I used to spend enough to be Elite plus twice over, several times a year. They don't have that service anymore because they were losing money.

Best Buy should offer their Elite Members the option to buy hot items before others. Why not reward customer loyalty first? Sadly the bots will make my attempt to buy futile as they did with the PS5. Thoughts Best Buy?

Sadly, Best Buy does not care about their customers. If they did, they wouldn't have changed their points system so much. It used to be: buy something and get points. Then it went to different scales on how much you buy in a year. Well, they must have lost money on that, because it's gone as well. I think you had to spend $3500 in a year to get Elite status. I doubled that amount several years in a row, and enjoyed my benefits. Now, I really have no reason to shop at Best Buy. They no longer offer any incentive for me to shop them instead of Amazon, or another retailer.

Insignia™ - In-wall 3.6A Surge Protected USB Hub - White
Protect your electronics with this Insignia in-wall USB surge protector. It replaces a standard wall socket and provides two direct charging ports for tablets and smartphones.
 

Does it need to be grounded?

Yes. This must be grounded. That's how surge protectors work, by sending the surge to ground. When you remove the wall outlet to install this, there will be a ground wire. That ground wire needs to be connected. If you have no ground, and your equipment gets damaged by a surge, the manufacturer probably won't warranty anything that was damaged because they will see that as incorrectly installed and that voids the warranty in most cases.

Will more of these be in stock on the sales floor asides just pre-orders on October 30th?

I was told today that you can only get it today if you preordered. To buy from the store you have to wait until Nov. 12 when the console launches. At least that was what I was told when I went to pickup my controller.

Will I need to use the USB adapter to connect it to the ps5? or is the USB adapter to connect the headphones to a pc or other setup? If it uses sub dongle to connect to ps55. that's BS!

Yes, you will need to use the dongle on the PS5 just like you had to use the dongle on the Gold headset for PS4.

Does it come with the ps5 or do you have to buy it separate

You have to buy it separate. It does not come with the PS5. You can probably order a package deal with the system, an extra controller, and the headset but you're still paying for the headset.
