4 Stars Great for the price!
This is a very useful product for a serious gamer. Especially if you cannot afford a really expensive set!

5 Stars Pretty good for the price!
Ok I have had a pair of these for a little less than a year. I would have to say I’m pretty pleased with these headphones. People keep saying they have problems with things I never did. That sound quality is bad and the hissing. First off you have to play with a wireless controller, or it will hiss, because it’s grounding the headset. Second I have never had a problem with voice chat over gameplay sound. There is a knob for the game volume and a knob for the voice chat. Its pretty clear to hear people even when I have the voice knob only about half way. But after the time I’ve had it I finally died!! But I’m very pleased with it, it lasted almost a year. It’s still better than any mic that microsoft has to offer.

5 Stars Turtle Beach x1 is awesome
These headsets are a must for any serious gamer not as powerful or clear as the x3 or x4 but tfor the price they are the best out there. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to play videogames online.

The story of the Xbox video game Prototype starts rather murky and continues to be so for most of the game. The player sees the world through the eyes of Alex Mercer, who has somehow acquired superhuman powers and awakened to a world that seems to have gone mad.

Mercer himself discovers that he has the ability to shapeshift and to absorb powers from the people around him. His shapeshifting powers can enhance his combat abilities, his ability to defend himself and his ability to sense things and due to the multiple ways that conflicts can be overcome, it gives players different ways to attain their objectives.

The main game itself is made up of thirty-one missions that will range from your basic seek and destroy missions to infiltrations of militaristic organizations to learn more information. The game play is fairly aggressive and the response to Mercer is often instantaneous and even something as simple as running through the city (or gliding, as you can unlock later in the game) can alert the Strike Teams, who are on the lookout for Mercer. Mercer’s powers can be evolved and enhanced through the completion of side missions and new moves are a terrific incentive to keep players going through the more frustrating parts of this game.

At first glance, Mercer seems indestructible; falls don’t hurt and there is nothing that can’t be leaped over or run around. Combat is going to get more complicated, though and this has been the source of accusations of clumsy and clunky game play. With all the moves that the character can learn, remembering how to trigger certain combat combinations is not always easy. That being said, the combat in Prototype is still a great deal of fun, if only because of the variety of combat modes and shapes that Mercer can take.

Playing Prototype is something that any dedicated gamer should at least try, and as one of the more interesting sandbox style games that have hit the market recently, it has certainly made its mark.

2 Stars If you buy one, you’ll eventually buy two.
The system is a blast to play when it’s working. Unfortunately there is a boatload of problems to be had from the 360 for some reason. I guess they should have not released it so early. It seems like I could hit my PS3 with a sledgehammer and it would still keep ticking. The first problem was the Red Ring of Death. But I was happy that Microsoft completely fixed that. When the system got shipped back though, the open and close tray messed up first thing out of the box after being refurbished. I dealt with that though up until the “no video but sound works fine” hiccup a lot of the system’s are having. This is not covered under Xbox’s 3-year warranty extension and costs money to fix. Hopefully it might be covered someday. It really should due to the number of cases reported. But I just decided to buy a new one with a much better warranty due to all of the problems my current 360 has had. No wonder Microsoft is reporting tons of sales. Most people are probably on their second or third Xbox. But after making Xbox Live such a gamer’s commodity, I’m not surprised why people keep coming back despite the terrible fragility of Microsoft’s product.

5 Stars the 360

2 Stars X-Box 360
It was delivered nicely, but now it’s dead and it’s only been a little over two months. Great

5 Stars Still going strong
Ok i got my xbox 360 for christmas and it is still working fine its 1 and a half years old nothing wrong other than overheating so i call up my cousin says it might be dust so i take the hole casing off(not recommended unless your warrenty is gone like mine) and blew all the dust off. Now my xbox 360 is working perfectly again.

Xbox live is a blast to have especially with your friends and then the people online. It is deffinently worth every penny. Oh and the only reason you hear peoples dying after 2 months is because all they do is play it because it can be addicting.

The Xbox Live banning of a lesbian gamer who self-identified her sexuality created a huge furor on Thursday, prompting Microsoft to characterize its own banning policies as “inelegant.”
