Perfect for Travel

Verified Purchase:Yes
I travel quite a bit for work and started to notice my old bag weighing me down because it was large enough to carry more than I ever needed. Thought I would force myself into carrying less by getting this bag and am very glad I did. It is large enough to hold my laptop, iPad, Sony 1000mkII's, a mouse and all cables without feeling bulky or over weight.
The straps for using it as a backpack are short and only go around my shoulders, but they are comfortable and work well when being used.

Really nice Monitor

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this for gaming on my Xbox One S and the picture quality is great. I was using an older 1080p Samsung TV and think this looks much nicer. I also like that it has 2 HDMI ports, so I am able to hook it up to my laptop for work when needed and not have to worry about switching cords all the time.
Only drawback for me is that I am in a room that gets a lot of natural light during the day and the screen does not do great with that if viewing at any sort of angle. Straight on it seems fine, but if I move 3" to the right or left it becomes difficult to see on some parts of the screen. Only during the day though, so I do not mind too much.

Upgraded from a cheaper, 5w charger and there is a noticeable difference. Still only 7.5w for iPhones, but works great with a fast charge.

Listen to your playlist in peace with these Sony headphones. They have a 40mm dome driver to deliver the full depth of audio, and the noise cancelling feature minimizes outside disturbances for a better listening experience. These Sony headphones have a battery life of up to 30 hours for extended jam sessions.

I work in an old office building where the HVAC is super loud and these things block out every noise the HVAC can throw at me. On top of that, the sound is great. Worth every penny, just wish I had done it sooner!

Pretty Great

Verified Purchase:Yes
First time Monster Hunter player - really had a tough time learning the controls and just figuring out what the heck I was doing/supposed to be doing. Still learning more every day, but every time I complete a mission, I feel like I just accomplished something worthy of the time it took. Have not felt that way in a game in a while, so I am very happy with this purchase. I expect I will put many hours into this game.

Good game

Verified Purchase:Yes
I enjoy this game, but it feels like a step back for me. I like the advanced movement of Blops 3, which makes this game feel even slower. There is also still some inconsistency with the balance of the weapons.
Overall they did a good job with the game, it just wont keep me for 300 hours like many of the other CoD's did.

Seek out and defeat colossi in Shadow of the Colossus. Immerse yourself in the story as Wander, a nomadic colossus hunter, and destroy 16 gigantic colossi by identifying the beasts' weak spots, located under glowing sigils. Digitally remastered for the PS4, Shadow of the Colossus is an engaging 4K journey enhanced with ultra-HD art assets and a stellar soundtrack.

Not my style

Posted by: gollb

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have to agree with the other not so great reviews. This game just is not that much fun. You do the same thing over and over and struggle doing it because the controls are so wonky. I gave it a 3 star because fighting the colossi can be enjoyable, if only for a few minutes, and the graphics and landscape are really well done.
I finished the game only because I paid $40 for it.

As you take in the pleasant view outside your window, it's hard to fathom that it could all be swept away in the blink of an eye. For Artyom, however, there's no need to imagine — after the devastation of an apocalyptic event, the only hope for salvation lies in the darkness deep beneath Moscow in the underground. The Metro franchise introduced you to Artyom's world as you plunged into the survival horror genre with Metro 2033, then kept you riveted in the action-packed follow-up, Metro: Last Night. Now, get ready to return to the terror and brutality that defines this hellish world on a first-person shooter thrill ride that tests your will to survive in every way.Metro Redux includes Metro 2033, the terrifying first chapter of Artyom's struggle for survival in the ruins of his city, as well as Metro: Last Night, the heart-pounding continuation. The nightmare begins in Metro 2033 as Artyom, a survivor of an apocalyptic event 20 years in the past, is forced to leave the relative safety of Moscow's underground and emerge into a world populated by murderous mutants and full of toxicity and danger around every corner. As if the world outside wasn't horrific enough, Metro: Last Light brings the terror underground as Artyom struggles to save humanity as it perches on the edge of civil war and ultimate destruction. Struggle for survival armed only with homemade weapons and your trusty gasmask as you fight your way through two action-saturated campaigns with all-new melee animations, plus hours of thrilling DLC. Immerse yourself in the bleak world of post-apocalyptic Moscow with stunning imagery rendered in silky smooth 60 fps, as well as new lighting, physics, dynamic weather effects and full-body player animations. Take charge with improved AI, controls and weapon handling and easily check your watch and ammo supplies on the fly. Prepare yourself for slow-burning intensity in Survival mode, or duke it out in brutal combat in Spartan mode. Rise to the ultimate challenge as you wage deadlier battles with fewer resources and without the benefit of HUD or UI in Ranger mode. The odds are bad and the stakes are high — do you have what it takes to save what's left of the world?

Was looking for a change of pace, but not something that was going to suck me in. I completed each game in roughly 10 hours. Controls and story were good. Looking forward to the new one coming out this year.

Great Sound
on January 16, 2018
Posted by: gollb
from MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a console gamer 100% and am not a fan of the console headset options - specifically PS4 sets - and have been searching for something better. After all of the "These are the best headset out there" reviews I gave these a try. The sound (after tinkering with the steelseries engine) is pretty great. They are very clear and work well with the PS4. The fit/comfort is incredible relative to any TB or Astro set I have ever owned.
The only downside with these is that the chat audio cannot be controlled from the headset when being used with the PS4. I play a lot online and have run into many issues mid match where the chat audio was too overpowering and ruined the rest of the sound coming through. This can be adjusted on the PS4 menu, but that gets annoying when everyone seems to talk at a different volume.
Other than that one issue, they seem perfect for what I am looking for and would recommend them to anyone looking for a gaming headset.

Needed this for an older non-smart TV. Fires right up and only took a few minutes to setup. It does require a credit card to be on file for the Roku account which is a bummer, but other than that it is fast and easy to use.
