"Had some trouble activating but finally got it."
"got it for a few bucks cheaper just by having the card mailed."
"I got 12 months gold."
"Aside from the ability to play multiplayer games online, you can also chat with your friends, send them messages, watch Netflix and Hulu Plus (if you subscribe to either) and download arcade titles and DLC. All in all, I'd say that anyone with an xbox and even 1 friend on their friend's list needs to invest in this - especially if you're into games like Call of Duty or Gears of War."
"This fear was abolished as soon as I received the card and redeemed the code - for a 13 month card, no less."
"Item was previously used had to return."
"Didn't try to access the free gold games until earlier this month - no luck."

Being that I've had the Xbox 360 for just awhile, I'm approaching 40 hours of controller usage and haven't experienced any issues. I haven't needed to be 30 feet away from the console, but it works just fine from the opposite end of a typical living room."

"when using it i noticed suttle differences, the first was that the D-pad was chrome,secondly it was a nice supprise the D-pad is much higher for easier maneuvering and not as stiff than your typical wireless controller you buy anywhere. and your thumbs fit in te center much better. i waited to right this review because, i wanted to see if it could stand up to the challenge of a full 2 weeks of Black Ops 2. it did very well. to test the right trigger button i used the following guns SMR and FAL.i choose these because they're not automactic from the start. since the rubber is more durable and textured differently i found your able to go around people easier."

"Assuming the transceiver is listed in 'Devices and Printers' (in Control Panel) but the controller isn't registering with the transceiver then the following method worked for me and the controller/gamepad is working perfectly now. Microsoft 'documentation' for this controller is pitiful or non-existent..they don't even tell you where the sync button is on the controller to effect the method listed below.....it's a small button on the very front of the controller."
"A endurance test will start tomorrow when they will be here for school break for the whole week, three youngsters and one xbox.. so I am sure the controller is going to get a work out. If I discover any thing more about the use of the controller after it has logged in some serious hours.."
"Had these before and was not disappointed by how they work with the PC and games. However, the description states the receiver is not included with this item."
"I'm running Win7 Bootcamp on a 2012 MacBook Pro, and the provided installation disk worked like a dream."
"The Xbox 360 gamepad layout was, in my opinion, the best controller ever designed."
"The replacement joysticks that they sell for these controller are not OE and aren't anywhere near the quality or precision of the original Microsoft controller so beware of joystick replacement parts even if they claim to be OEM!"

Xbox 360® Wireless Speed Wheel Take the wheel for easy motion-controlled racing. Intuitive steering with motion sensors.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Immediately when you turn the wheel, the game responds. I tried some other games as well - the newer ones work great, the older ones (e.g. Harms Way) usually don't - the game only reacts when the wheel is fully turned which is useless. There's not much difference with arcade games where it doesn't matter a lot how much you turn the wheel. But I had a great experience with Dirt 3 where it makes huge difference if you turn the wheel only a little or a lot. With the wheel, I can e.g. maintain a 40% position on the wheel and just slightly change the throttle or the break."
"I first bought the XBOX 360 Wireless Game Controller *FOR THE PC*. I like the controller but saw some steering wheels for sale and thought I'd like to try one for Dirt 3. I had read around how this did work with PC's, but I thought it would also have come with a wireless Dongle. Once I got it, I had to pop the batteries out of the other controller and then sync this up with the Dongle I got with the handheld controller. PRO'S. More like steering than controller. Reasonable Price. Works with Wireless XBOX 360 Controller for PC's Dongle. Nice Layout. Weighted and comfortable. CON'S. Doesn't come with Wireless USB Dongle for PC. Some response lag in certain Races. No method of calibration for start and end of steering wheel turn."
"Pretty amazed at how well it works, wished I would have bought long ago."
"I had knee surgery just after xmas and spent a lot of time recovering."

I do believe these batteries would charge with the microsoft play N charge cable as well, but I haven't tried it yet."
"Setting him up with some wireless controllers to play Lego themed games was an excellent addition, and having somewhere specific for him to put the controllers back when he is done is excellent."
"It took me a while to find a hidden USB charger in front (sneaky little door/cover) that I use for charging my XboxOne controller."
"The package included two rechargeable batteries that change right out for the AA battery pack (batteries are both black - keep in mind for white controllers). I haven't played with these controllers extensively, so I can't really speak to the battery life, but it seems to be very good so far."
"It's nice to have the two batteries when one loses its' charge in the middle of a game, the second can be quickly switched out."
"Every time I tried to use this charger it was a fight or wiggling and moving to get the lights on the front to register it charging. If you do decide to give this one a try I would recommend looking for the charge lights operating properly and note the play time (before low battery warning) you get after pulling them off the charger."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I took them out of the package and bent the hooks around each individual controller so the mounting would be a tight, secure fit. I found about three different manners in which the hooks could mount each controller and settled on the fit I thought looked best and cleanest. It was still able to mount just fine, but due to the Steam Controller's admittedly poor design, the hooks never looked right and it hangs crooked no matter what I do. Instead of trying to find space for a bunch of controllers laying around haphazardly, they now look like a featured piece of my office."
"There are no off the shelf wall hooks from any home improvement store that fit the bill as well as these."
"Personally, I didn't bother with the anchors because the vast majority of my controllers are relatively light, so the screws directly in the dry-wall provide more than enough strength for the clips. Upon installing them, I began testing out different controllers to get an idea of just how well the clips could handle them. Thanks to the easily adjustable hooks (you can bend them however you see fit) everything from NES to Dreamcast controllers fit perfectly, regardless of size difference."
"Controllers mounted. In that specific mounting location, it's a bit hard to line the controller up with the hook - but, if you're mounting them on the wall, it's a non-issue."
"I can't tell how they work, but the ability to bend them to a desired shape is pure genius. You can bend them by both width and depth, but the parts that don't bend are solid as a rock.Within 15 minutes, I had mounted the brackets for an Xbox One controller, a Playstation controller, and a TV remote."
"Use these things to mount almost anything to the wall."

"I am familiar with AGPTEK products as they make many grey-market OEM replacement hard drives for a lot of makers. The fact that you cant use standard laptop hard drives is another key proof they are protecting their interests and not ours. New Microsoft Xbox hard drive works 50% faster than this OEM piece of crap."

"This hard drive worked beautifully right out of the box, I popped it into my Xbox and started downloading all my games for it."

"It would certainly fit a set thicker than the one I have. Now the cord to the Kinect is hidden from sight (I hate cables) and the Kinect is on top of the television, where games keep telling me it will work better."
"In my case, the sensor was annoyingly interfering with the sensor for my TV which is also right in the center of the TV at the bottom. I really didn't want to push holes in the wall for the mounted ones and the cheap knock-off version of this type of holder at the local super center didn't look at all sturdy. It would be about the same as if the Kinect were on the second floor of a house that sat on a slab or basement in terms of motion."
"I have a 42" LG LCD TV, and though this does go over top of the TV and stays there, it doesn't really adjust to grip the TV that well."
