From a One S, PS4 Pro and 1080ti Owner

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked up one of these a few months back. I found it quite hard to part with the $500 knowing that I already had a One S and a PS4 Pro, let a lone my computer.
I'm glad I did.
First impressions, eh. It seemed OK. Everything ran smoothly. Then, I noticed the load times. They were so much faster than the One S. On Path of Exile, load times went from 25 seconds, to maybe 4. Incredible difference.
Then I started to notice the graphics. Especially on games such as Sea of Thieves. WOW! No joke, it looked as good as anything I had seen. Then I began to compare its performance with my own computer, running a 1080ti. Ya, the Xbox One X was on par or kicking its butt! No clue how they actually pulled this off.
The Enhanced games are cool. The load times are awesome. The performance is crazy for the price.
To anyone who has a 4k HDR TV, this is a must buy. Skip the One S or the PS4 Pro. Just go with the heavy hitter, the One X.
If you do not have a 4k HDR and do not plan on getting one anytime soon, then just stick with the One S.

Eh...From the parents perspective
on May 11, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
As a parent, I love getting these games for my son. It keeps him motivated to stay involved in basketball and has turned him into a lover of the NBA. I find that part to be really great and it reminds me of being a kid. Does he love playing 2k18 as much as I loved playing Bird vs Dr J or Double Dribble? Probably not. Why?
Because this game is financially intense. Micro transactions have knocked the fun of the grind right out of the box. Listen, I don't mind the grind. In fact, I think that's what makes a game special. Working hard for what you have. But this game promotes paying for what you have. As a parent, it sucks to pay $100 for the best version of the game, then have your kid staring at you hoping you will buy them virtual currency. Plus, once you buy it, its gone in moments and they are right back where they were a few minutes prior, wanting more. More currency for their player to be better. It doesn't end.
Sure they can grind it out. But that takes just long enough to almost justify just paying for it. A parent can easily be in this game 200-300 dollars before the season is over. Then guess what? It's time for 2k19.
Hopefully one day they do whats right, and just make the game FTP just like mobile versions of NBA games. Then you can justify spending the money on virtual currency to get players or update your roster etc. Otherwise, Parents! Get ready to spend money, have a bummed out kid, or a kid who pays this for hundreds of hours to earn what $$$ can just buy.

The bass is real and the lights are cool

Typical Logitech speakers. Great sound for a reasonable price tag.
I really wanted to wait for the Razer Nommo Chroma Pros but who knows when those are coming out, plus they are $500. These are $200 and sounds great. Loud! Bass is a bit heavy at first, just adjust it to your liking. Download the logitech gaming software and adjust the lights to your liking as well. You won't regret this purchase unless your an sound snob who needs Audio Engine or some speaker that looks way better than it actually performs.

Eh, it's good but we have had some issues.

We have had this dishwasher for about 6 months now and I can say we like it. It gets the dishes nice and clean, quietly.
But we have had some issues with it. Twice it's gone into a leak protection mode which really sucks. It just cycles its drain.... Forever. Crazy annoying!
We had to shut off the breaker and wait 9 days for a service tech. No signs of a leak below it though so who knows! But it's just unreasonable to expect any appliance to never break. Best buy was super helpful as always.

So I Finally took the dive..
on April 10, 2017
Posted by: drewdwn
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been following this monitor since it was a rumor a few years back. Like many who are reading this review, I have always kinda dreamed of owning it, but never could justify the price when there are so many monitors that are less money. Finally I took the dive..
I read several reviews that said you won't care about the price you spent once you set this monitor up. I can now officially agree with those reviews! It's stunning. In fact, even a few days after you get it setup, you will still be stunned. 34 inch 21.9 widescreen @ 2k is really nice. G Sync with 100hz is really, really nice. But the colors? The picture? They are straight up amazing. I cannot believe how beautiful games are on the X34. Its a pure joy to look at!
Also, this monitor shows that 2k is perfect for today's games. Everyone thinks they want 4k for gaming. Well, there a few factors that many people forget when they want to jump right into 4k gaming. Super small icons and text are two of them. Sure you can adjust those, but not all of them will adjust and not all games will allow that adjustment. This can be kind of a pain at times. Also, you need some serious power to drive a 4k monitor correctly. This means money. The x34 can be driven nicely by most recent cards. I originally had mine hooked up to a 780ti and it was absolutely fine. I now have it with a 1080 ti and I must say, its almost a bit of overkill.
Pros: Beautiful IPS panel, G Sync, 100hz, Best Buy 4yr warranty is $49.99? Easy call there! It's huge!
Cons: Clunky menu, It's huge!
If you are on the fence, just take the dive and buy this thing. You absolutely will not regret it.

Imbue an aura of calm in your home with this Crane bamboo aroma diffuser. The bamboo design gently disperses the scent throughout the room during the day.

Love just about everything here. Oils are easy enough to find online. System works nicely and looks great. Only thing I am not a huge fan of is that you have to refill it pretty much every day. But what can you do about that? It's nice

Game on the go with the Corsair Gaming K65 gaming keyboard. This keyboard lacks a number pad, making it more compact and leaving more room for your mouse to move. Its detachable, soft-touch wrist wrest limits wrist fatigue. The Corsair Gaming K65gaming keyboard has Cherry MX Red key switches for added responsiveness along with customizable backlighting and anti-ghosting keys.

Very nice especially for FPS gamers
on January 25, 2017
Posted by: drewdwn
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned just about all of them and this one is near the top of my list. I love the fact that the numpad is gone. It gives you more room on your desk for your mouse. This can be important for serious FPS gamers who don't have a lot of desk space. We can keep that mouse DPI down and enjoy the extra space.
The rear facing USB is also very nice. The previous model (non LUX) did not have that USB and it kind of sucked. Who can't use another USB. Perfect for your headset or mic.
The software has improved over the last two years. Its simple and easy now. The keyboard comes with lots of preset color settings, where before you had to either create your own, or get one off of the forums which could be a pain to get working right.
The keys are great and they include some decent gaming keys to swap. I wasn't completely sold on the large letter keys at first, but they have grown on me. I like them.
This keyboard is an A+ for me. Its a great alternative for someone looking to move on from a Blackwidow or maybe a Logitech.
