Purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. Specifically because wanted iPad. It works for what it does. Probably not worth the extra money. Android devices tend to have a lot more free products in Google Play

It's been an intense round. Your team and the enemy have been swapping leads like presents on Christmas. It's down to the wire and it's time for you to show them what you've got. You head toward the center of the map where the action is condensed and people are dropping like flies. You manage to slip into the ruins of a house, head for the second floor and position yourself at the window. You start eliminating targets as they dart across the street. Your blood is flowing, your heart is pumping and adrenaline is surging through your veins. There's only seconds left and you can taste the victory — not to mention a supremely epic K/D ratio. Just as time's about to run out, you hear the sound of footsteps from behind you. You're already shooting as you whirl around and you manage to take him down and save yourself. The screen fades to black and the room fills with the glow of your headset as the cheers and whoops of your teammates fill your ears. Glory is yours.When the action is most intense, you need to be able to rely on your headset to give you the edge. Whether it's the sound of enemy footsteps, breaking glass, suppressed gun shots, tactical respawns or fall damage, it can be the difference between glory and defeat. This Afterglow Universal Prismatic Wireless Headset is tuned by a Hollywood sound-design studio, and features 50mm neodymium speakers that sit inside an angled acoustic cavity for intense audio depth, sonic richness and clarity of sound. To get you even deeper in the zone, the headset features glowing lights that you can set to almost any color. The durable design ensures that they can withstand frequent, long-lasting gaming sessions. So connect to your game console and get ready for explosive action. You've got the advantage of crystal-clear sound on your side.

I got this for my daughter to use on our Xbox. It works great. It also has separate controls for chat and audio.
As a side benefit I hooked it up to the transmitter is attached to the Xbox for power and plugged the audio cables into our TV set output. You can mute the TV and the audio volume can be controlled by the device. The benefit is that someone can watch TV and hear (even with the TV muted and the xbox turned off). This is great if someone wants to watch a show while others are sleeping or having a conversion etc..

What's not so great: Kind of large and you still have to connect it to the controller for chat.

I use this as a back up for large game files on my computer. It has good fast transfer capabilities. The only issue, and it is not a big deal, is that the slide piece to shut it for protection is sometimes a bit sticky to shut.

How Often Used:3-5 times a week
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased these to use for listening to music at my office. The full ear muff helps block out other noises. the only drawback is that I wear glasses and they put a little too much pressure on the ears and it can be little uncomfortable after awhile

Purchased this for my daughters basement in her new house. It was a little damp. This dehumidifier works very well at removing water from the air. You should check on it every couple of days to dump the water out of it.

Good jump drive. I use it to back up my digital music library. A nice feature is the sliding dongle to pull the USB connection back into a protective case to prevent damage.
I can play mucis from is as well and do no notice any appreciable lag time.

Don't let your Fitbit Charge run out of juice while you're on the move. Stay prepared while you exercise with this Fitbit FB155RCC charging cable, which is designed to refuel Fitbit Charge wireless activity trackers. The 10.2" cable easily slides into your gym bag.
 

I am trying to replace my charger for my fitbit charge, not fitbit charge HR. Ordered one on Amazon but it is labeled Charge HR What is the difference? and which one should fit my fitbit?

You will need one specifically for a Fit Bit Charge. I originally picked up the HR model. But my daughter told me it would not work. So I brought it back to Best Buy and they swapped them for me.

Grand theft Auto Episodes from Liberty city

I just bought a Gateway NV59C Notebook and it has an Intel I3-330M processor and Intel HD graphics card. so i was just wonderign if GTA Episodes from liberty city would work on it???
Great little notebook you got there.

However, it was designed for social media, web, email and streaming video.
Your going to have a very hard time playing GTA on your system. It may load up but you will have to reduce all the graphics to the bare minimum and even then it may jerk a lot.

I would like to purchase games and software for my HP Net Book. Do Best Buy carry HP Net Book products?

Great little computer. However, the bad news is you pretty much restricted by the processor, low RAM and the on board graphics. Netbooks simply were not built to play games.

civilization4 play on widows 7

You should not have a problem. At the time it came out it was built for XP. I have not had a problem in stalling XP games on 7.

That being said, Civilization is one of the greatest Computer Game franchises ever.

Civ IV was good. Civ V blows it out of the water.

Do you sell games for apple computers?

It is not so much of retailers carrying a lot of Apple Games as lack of developers who make them. The market is small for Apple games. That being said, EA makes a few. Your actual best bet for Apple game is the iTunes Store

Computer golf game

I would like a computer golf game
Oh goodness a buddy of mine and I would sit around for hours on rainy days when we could not be out golfing playing it on my computer. Back in those days I considered Links Golf to be one of the best. We also had a gold game for Nintendo Wii that you had to do the swing yourself.

I have not played it but I seen it in a demo. "The Golf Club" From HB Studios looks to be a VERY good simulator

Do you need special games for Vista?

I assume you mean for a computer loaded with Windows Vista?

Windows Vista was an operating system that went out of support in 2009.

That being said, there are still games that will run on Vista. However, the number is decreasing. When you look at a game it should have minimum system requirements on it. Below is an example.

CPU: Core i3-550 / Phenom II X4 955
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only)
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 / Radeon HD 5770 1 GB
Free Disk Space: 20 GB

If you do a Google Search for "Vista Compatible Games" there are a couple of good hits for games. And some of these games were world class at the time and still a lot of fun

do you have any hidden object pc games? to down load?

Personally I love hidden objects. I got hooked when Waldo first came out.

You will probably not find a lot of hidden object games available at many retailers as there seems to be a lot of free programs.

At one time Best Buy did carry Hidden Object Adventure, but it was on the shelf. Only $10 to $15 and I picked it up during Christmas shopping season.
