Nothing compares to the feeling you get on race day. Your heightened senses take in all of the surrounding sights, sounds and smells — the faint whiff of burnt rubber and the thick, oily odor of gasoline, the engines revving and good-natured taunts between rivals and the metallic glint of candy-colored paint jobs. The focused pursuit of first place has taken you around the world, and you've faced some of the most treacherous courses on this planet — perilous, mind-bending turns, bumpy, hill-strewn tracks and much more. Your gloved hands tighten around the wheel as you eagerly await the signal. As the race begins, you expertly shoot into a leading position, navigating the course with the confidence of someone already imagining that trophy in their hands.Project Cars puts you behind the wheel of exhilarating, fast-paced racing action, allowing you to create a driver and choose from a variety of motorsports. Experience more than 60 exciting tracks, racing at every time of day and in rapidly changing weather conditions. Establish your place in racing history in season mode, create your own mode or improve your racing prowess in on-track testing. Feel as if you're actually behind the wheel thanks to support for Project Morpheus and Oculus Rift, which enables you to play as if you're looking through the driver's eyes. Race online in up to 20-player races, so you can rise to the top and display your skills. Immortalize your name in the history of racing in Project Cars.

Traded-in already!

This was a bad purchase! The idea was good and there was a lot of hype about it, but the game lacks a lot. Cars 2, if there is one, should fix a lot of the issues, let me explain. When you start the game you have to make choices. There is no information about what effects your choices will have. You have to choose a race class, but there is no information about what types of car(s) would be in that class. Once you start class, you are stuck with that class (as opposed to Forza Motorsport where you can change cars and races at will). To do multiple "classes" you have to be different "drivers." The game "claims" that for each race, you can do practice runs and a qualifying run to determine your starting position (without this you start last). Great, because these tracks are new. However, for the thirds race set, the game started with the race and me last place. There was no practice and no qualifying lap. I tried exiting many times and every time I did not get those options. I could find no way to do anything but start the actual race in last place. The "encouragement" from "friends" via these caned "e-mails" was dorky. In summary, when actually racing, the physics seems good, the graphics are good, and it was okay fun (but not very satisfying), however all the necessary peripherals between starting the game and the actual race is absolutely horrible! It is so bad, that after two race sets and the game failing to perform as stated on the third, I took it back at a loss of $30+. The actually racing is okay, so if version 2 can fix all the other quirks, it could be a reasonable game. Don't waste your money! Spend $20 more and get Forza Motorsport 6!

We bought it because of the price and it looked like it might be funny. It does have some funny moments and it was clean so we kept it. It was worth the $5 we paid.

Plug your favorite compatible headset into the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter and hear the action just the way you like it. Easily adjust chat audio without taking your hands off the controller. Add game audio by connecting directly to your controller, console, or TV.

Works great!

This adapter works great. The only problem is that the picture is wrong - it shows the connector for the wired Microsoft headset; not the adapter. The important difference is instead of a large mute button on the left, there is a relative volume control buttons (is controls the volume of the game sounds versus the chat volume), which is a great feature.

I originally got this game on my computer, it was so much fun that I bought it for the XBOX One! In addition to Broderlands 2, we also got the Pre-Sequel all for a low price (two for one)!

Works Like the Original!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I did not buy off-brand, although they are sometimes cheaper, because of the concern for compatibility and reliability. I have heard some off-brand units did not perform as expected and there was no support. The Microsoft controller has worked flawlessly every time. Maybe a little more money, but the peace of mind is definitely worth it!

Many online games let you work independently, this one you either work as a team or lose. It is not easy, but a lot of fun.

I am not very good at quick shooting games. This product helps with the aiming by providing a larger circle to move through than the stick on the XBOX controller.

I use it as my Xbox One monitor and it works great! As a bonus, I now have TV in a different room of our home. Great visual and audio. The only draw back is that when switching to external speakers the volume control does not work and you have to rely on the source's control. However, it is only a little inconvenient.

Do the plugs go in all the way? I saw what looks like the same item on an online retailer. Numerous reviews there said the plugs don't go in all the way, leaving a gap with exposed metal.

Yes, they go in all the way.

Featuring Internet and multimedia keys, this Logitech K750 920-003677 wireless keyboard makes it quick and easy to access your Mac's frequently used functions. The solar-powered design ensures reliable use in most locations with ample lighting.
 

Logitech k750 wireless solar keyboard for Mac. What do the F13, F14, F15 keys do? What is the purpose of the key to the right of the F15 key with the half-black circle and two lights next to smile and frown emoticons?

I do not know the answer to the first question, but the button to the right of the F15 key checks the charge on the keyboard. You will notice to its right is a smily face and a frown. When you press the button, a green light comes on indicating adequate charge (smily face). Inadequate charge is the lower red light.
