 The Outer Worlds - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5
The Outer Worlds - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5
The Outer Worlds is an award-winning single-player first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division. Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.

If you didn't know, this game was made by the same company that originally created Fallout back in the day. They also made Fallout New Vegas. They do not disappoint with this title either! Great game with so many choices to make in the story line, and great combat.

What can I say, it's Borderlands, the original looter-shooter. Very fun game, just needs to be optimized a little so your screen doesn't freeze when your co-op partner goes into their menu.

Another great game by Hideo Kojima! This game is different from his past games, but it is amazing. If you read the in game emails and documents, you will see that it has a similar tone to his other games. I have over 100hrs into the game and I'm only about one-third through the story. I am seriously contemplating buying the Collectors Edition. If I can sell my original copy, I'm doing it!!!

This adapter/bracket works well. It's sturdy, comes with its own screws and fits in most PCs fine. I have had trouble with the screw holes not lining up when mounting it in a case, but that could just be that particular PC case.

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!

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.
