For those who plan to enjoy the thrill of the Halo 3 experience over Xbox Live, the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Halo 3 Wireless Headset offers un-tethered, voice chat with a "Halo" look. The ergonomic design sports a Master Chief armor color and a Halo 3 logo. The Xbox 360 Limited Edition Halo 3 Wireless Headset is only available for a limited time and can be paired up with the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Wireless Controller for the ultimate Halo 3 gaming experience.
Customer Review: Amazing Headset! Limited Addition!
This is an amazing headset that works just as well as the regular one. It is also a special edition and matches my special edition Halo 3 Xbox!
Buy this now if it is still available, they discontinued the production of this product! It is a must have for any true Halo fan!
Customer Review: Great, but not Perfect
I bought an open box Halo 3 Wireless Headset but it didn't work so I sent it to Microsoft. I had a brand new one in my hands in 3 days.
I have to say I'm pleased with it. It charges quick enough, and it fits on the ear pretty well. It is difficult, as I have gigantic ears, but it fits well enough so that it doesn't hurt. I did have some trouble with it not recognizing my voice until I started yelling. In Halo 3, you almost have to shout to get it to make the voice icon recognize that you area talking. Other than that and some minor static, it's a great headset. Would gladly get it again.

Customer Review: Playseat for Driving Force GT
Great seat for my Driving Force GT to play GT Prologue ... and also a nice seat for my kid while watching TV. The set up gives a good adjustment for length and height. The only star left for a perfect 5 is if an improvement can be devised to keep the swinging steering frame stable.
Customer Review: Good Playseat
I got this playseat classic in blue on sale last week for about $140. I was really excited when the price came down because I've been eyeing one and didn't want to spend $250 on it. I also bought the G25 racing wheel to go with it. It was after ordering it that I found out that the G25 wheel doesn't fit the playseat classic. This seat was made to fit the Logitech Driving Force GT perfectly. So if you have a PS3 and don't want to spend a lot of money on the G2, I would recommend the Driving Force GT. I wanted to keep the G25 so after googling I found several people that made it work so I was excited to try out some modifications. From the other reviewer on here they had said they used a 1x12 board so that's where I started. Using the provided velcro and some handy work I was able to mount the G25 pedal assembly. I connected the wood to the pedals using 5/16 x 1 1/2 inch screws. I then attached the whole thing to the metal plate of the playseat using 4 strips of velcro. I have added some pics of my handy work to the gallery (please enjoy). The one thing that I was excited about was the gearshift assembly mount, because that cost $50 if you were to order one. I made that from some shelving bracket and left over wood for about $2.
The review of the playseat over all is average. The seat itself is of good quality, but the frame is a little weak as many of the other reviewers had already said. The frame is flimsy but it's not overly flimsy that it's unusable. I think it's passable for the price you pay. The only really flimsy part is the single steering collumn where the body is attached to the steering wheel. Also the part where the metal rod attaches to the seat is also flimsy. If you want a more stable gaming seat I would consider getting the Playseat Evolution. The price is about $300 so you have to consider if you are willing to spend that much or not. Over all it works and I'm happy with it. It was worth the money I spent on it. My son and I are having a blast playing Dirt, Ridge Racer, Nascar 09 and Burnout Paradise on my PS3.

Customer Review: Must Have, Must Own, Must Experience
This console is by far the best you're gonna get this generation. Microsoft has come along way when you compare the Xbox 360 to it's brother the Xbox 1. Microsoft actually listended to what gamers wanted, and that's fun hardcore games, amazing online, and custimizable dashboards. This is truly a system that can't be beat, you can enjoy all types of games such as Gears of War 1 and 2 come this November 2008, Mass Effect, Halo 3 (probably 4 in a year or two) and Netflix on your 360. As always when there are goods things about something there are bad things too! As you may already know, these Xbox 360's suffer from what is known as the RROD or (Read Ring of Death) which is when you get three-flashing-red-lights which is an indicator of a severe hardware failure. Thank goodness Microsoft extended everyones warranty for free to 3 years, ONLY if you experience the 3rrod error. Lastly, the customer service @ Microsoft sucks, they don't care about your issue, the people you speak to are overseas and don't speak english clearly enough to communicate to you as to what the solution will be, and again THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKKKKKKSS!!! Other than that the 360 beats it's competitors by far. Kudos to Microsoft for making a system that just can't be beat, but Microsoft work on your customer service a LOT more because in the end that goes along way as to where you stand with your reputation.
Customer Review: Great customer service
I've seen some previous reviews and highly disagree with 'em. People, if you wanted memory alongside this, you shoulda read the description better. As for me, these people have done nothing but watch my back. I purchased one way back in January and it still runs smooth as silk. I had all my cords and memory and whatnot from my previous and busted 360. and in my opinion, it ran better. When I went to buy another as a gift for a friend, the first thing that happened was they asked me if it was because the last one I bought was busted already. They gave me instructions that were not only beneficial but very kind. These people look out for their customers unlike the rest of of the customer services I dealt with. I for one have never once made a regret of buying this. But for those who just rush shop and not pay attention, then, yeah, let the buyer beware.

Customer Review: I'll play LIVE for Five hours a day......and never get tired
I already have 10 xbox 360 games and I luv the Elite console. I put a Turbo cooler fan on the back and I let the fan run for five minutes even after I turn the console off. This should extend the life of my Xbox 360 Elite. There's an abundance of cutting edge technology games being released in these next three or four months, so this was definately the right time to go Xbox 360.
Customer Review: my pc has a 500 gig drive
Why did I just pay this much money for a PC with worse controls, much simpler games, and fewer functions?
I'm really disappointed in myself. I thought I should bite the bullet and get a console, but this thing is terrible. I already have a computer, dammit! All the good games for this system are already out on PC, and when you use a mouse, you don't have to rely on auto aim to compensate for the crap controls.
Check eBay. Mine will be cheap.

Thought to be the last surviving Spartan soldier, Master Chief possesses a unique trait that has made him both a hero and symbol of hope in the eyes of humanity, and a "demon" in the minds of his enemies. That trait? A rare combination of skill and luck that has seen him through many battles, including the destruction of two HALO installations. Measures 6" tall.
Customer Review: Highly detailed. Difficult to set up the position shown in the picture. Does not stand firmly.
Highly detailed. I liked the feature of a movable thumb on on the hand that holds the trigger. Difficult to set up the position shown in the picture. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to set up the figure shown in the product picture. The weapons, the grenade and and the gun can not be fixed to the body of the figure easily. There is a small removable plastic piece that sticks out of the weapons for them to be attached to the body. That piece can not be inserted completely into neither the body of the figure nor the weapon itself, which destroys the over all look with the high quality details on the weapons and the figure. Does not stand firmly, but the toes are attached to the feet by a separated joint which helps a bit.
Customer Review: amazing.......... but fragile
first off this is by far the best action figure i have ever recived and the first of my halo colection.the one problem i had was when i first got the spatain laser in his hand it fit well (after pulling on the fingers to open up more)then when i put it on a second time the thumb on his right hand came of. i fixed it, it had a peg and the hole was in the hand. but it fell off if i wasn't carfull. so i just used a dab of super glue and its fine. so be carfull with the right hand. besides that whole drama this figure is amazing! five stars!

Cherry Sunburst Desgin Guitar Hero III Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controller Skin Decal Sticker for Wii and Xbox 360/ PS3
Cherry Sunburst Desgin Guitar Hero III Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controller Skin Decal Sticker for Wii and Xbox 360/ PS3
Scatch Resistant Skin Sticker protect and personalize your Wii or Xbox 360/PS3 Guitar Hero III Guitar controller. Self-adhesive plastic-coated skins cover the Guitar controller, and they are paper-thin so they do not add any bulk. Skins are easy to apply (no bubbles), durable and easily removable without any residue. When applying the skin, you've got to make sure that the surface is totally clean of any oil or sweat!
Customer Review: Dramatically changes the look of your controller
Compared to the stark, plain white look of the stock controller, this skin really pops.
The skin itself is reasonably easy to apply. I managed to get the main body skin on without any bubbles by myself, but it probably would have been easier to do with some help. The adhesive takes a little while to cure so you can peel it back and restick it many times if you get a small bubble or if the alignment is off. Speaking of which, the die cut isn't 100% precise but the vinyl is flexible enough that you can stretch or bend it without it bunching up. There's still slivers of white around the edges though, but overall you'd have to look pretty closely to tell. I didn't put the headstock decal on yet since it covers up the Gibson logo.
As far as the look goes, that's where I'm holding back the last star. It's called a "cherry" sunburst, but it's really just an orange-red radial gradient. There's no hint of wood grain in the print, which I would have liked to add that extra little touch of realism. The pick guard, pickups and even the strings that are printed on look fantastic though. Another reason I didn't put the headstock decal on is because there aren't any strings printed on it coming off the holes where the tuning pegs would be. If you get the Wii version, be sure to put the remote decal on because it'll look really weird without it.
Customer Review: Great Way to Personalize Your Guitar Hero III Axe
The "skin" stickers for Wii's Guitar Hero III Gibson Les Paul Guitar are just the thing to make your axe (guitar) stand-out in a competition. When you order one, it is shipped in a LARGE (15 x 18 or so) reinforced envelope that is flat, and it came by USPS, so if someone isn't home to receive it, you'll be making a trip to the post office, but that trip is worth it because the decal is a beauty.
I chose the Cherry Sunburst because I have a Les Paul with a Cherry Sunburst finish. The skin is easy to remove from its backing, and goes on easy. I put the head stock on first at the end of the fret bar, so I could get a feel for the skin. The skin is very forgiving, allowing you to remove it for replacement if it gets askewed while applying. Like most skins, you'll get a few bubbles in it, but you can smooth those out by working them out from the center to the outside.
I applied all of the skins, including the one to the control. Speaking of which, be sure to open the slits where the speaker is on the control. Those almost have to be poked-out with a round edge of a paper clip (don't use a knife unless your hand is real steady because you may accidentally cut the opening larger than it is already).
Overall, this is a great product and you can find it with several dozen designs.

Talismoon "PSU Energyzer" Xbox 360 to ATX Power Supply Adapter Cable
Talismoon "PSU Energyzer" Xbox 360 to ATX Power Supply Adapter Cable
Replace your original power supply with a standard ATX Computer power supply of your choice. Now you can have an inexpensive replacement, or, opt for more power, less noise, or both. Replace your original power supply with a standard ATX Computer power supply of your choice. Now you can have an inexpensive replacement, or, opt for more power, less noise, or both! The PSU Energyzer requires no assembly or wiring - just plug it in, turn on your PC power supply, and turn on your Xbox 360.
The PSU Energyzer is a special cable with an OEM Xbox 360 power plug on one end, and a 20 pin ATX connector on the other.
Please note that the original Xbox 360 Power Supply provides 203 watts, and 12v DC current at 16.5 amps, and 5v DC at 1 Amp. For the PSU energyzer to work, your PC power supply must provide this much SUSTAINED power at a minimum. Many PC power supplies are rated for PEAK power instead of sustained power, so you must check the label of your power supply to see if it provides enough sustained power.
Customer Review: Works perfect with "Falcon" 175W Xbox360 unit
Purchased this conversion kit because wanted to get rid of the annoying whining fan noise from the stock 175W power supply.
As previous reviews suggested, please make sure your computer power supply can support the power rating,
Here the power rating from the 175W power brick from XBOX
12V - 14.2A
5V - 1A
Please check the sticker on your computer power supply before you plug into your xbox! MAKE SURE the 12V rail can supply at least 14.2A!! (or at least 16.5A if you have an older XBOX uses 203W power brick). If your computer power supply cannot handle this, don't use it!
I am using a Corsair HX520 power supply to hook to my XBOX, as this power supply is almost silent. Been running in the setup for almost a week now and haven't yet to hit any problem (4+ hour of running per day).
In conclusions:
Pros:
- Works with the newer 175W "Falcon" XBOX, people can use this cable to swap to a regular computer supply for quieter operation or lower replacement cost.
- Installation is a breeze, just plug and play. (but do make sure your computer power supply can support enough current)
- Cable build quality is good and feels sturdy.
Cons:
- Might not be for everyone because getting a suitable power supply requires understanding of the power rating and might confuse people.
- Probably not happens to all: but the fan on my power supply started running once I plugged the conversion cable into the computer power supply (even though the XBOX is off). Does anyone have the same problem? I'll try to swap to other power supplies some other days when I get a chance.
Customer Review: Doesn't work with new 360
I just got my 360 back from a RROD repair, and now it doesn't work at all with this cable. I'm using a modular 400W psu, and it was working before I sent the console out for repair. I assume that they just replaced the console with a newer version, and I'm having the same problems others mentioned here. If you're not sure if your xbox will work with this unit you should probably steer clear.

...but then, so does the game. You can just pause the game to see what each fighter's moves are. So, this has them laid out for you, which is superior for remembering them, I think.
However, I mostly got this guide to show me how the Custom Character items are unlocked, and it barely touches on that aspect of the game.
It's still a decent guide, but it's too bad that it isn't more extensive.
Customer Review: GREAT BUY FOR A GREAT GAME!
Lately most games have horrible manuals that come with the game that do not provide any answers to any questions. I was hesistant at first, but no info is given with the game. The guide is great and covers everything the game has to offer. Everything from combo links to special moves and everything inbetween is discussed in great detail. this game is for fighting game fans who are willing to put in the time and effort for soul calibur 4. It is a tad pricey but for me it was worth it. If youre serious about really getting good at soul calibur 4 i certainly reccomend it.

Xbox 360 Drum Rocker Premium Drum Set
Xbox 360 Drum Rocker Premium Drum Set
Take your music gaming experience to the next level. With the Ion Drum Rocker, you're not playing games anymore - you're playing drums. The Drum Rocker delivers a set of four ultra-quiet pro-quality drum pads, a sturdy and highly configurable stand, cymbal pads and a rock-solid metal kick drum pedal. The result is a drum set controller that will last for years and give the gamer the ability to not only better enjoy their games, but also actually develop skills that will transfer to playing real drums. The Drum Rocker improves on existing drum controllers in a number of ways. The drum pads offer a more realistic response while dramatically reducing stick noise, putting the focus on the sound of the game rather than the sound of sticks hitting plastic drum pads. The cymbal pads allow the gamer to play cymbal parts as intended, rather than on the same pads they use to play drum parts. The metal kick drum pedal is far more playable and durable than the plastic pedal included with other controllers, and the aluminum stand avoids the one-size-fits-all approach of current controllers, allowing the player to set up their kit exactly how they want.
Customer Review: Not very well thought out....
I had pre-ordered these drums about a month before they came out with great expectations mainly due to the fact that I am a real drummer and was looking for a more genuine experience while playing the new Rock Band. Little did I know that I could only use the drums themselves, and NOT the cymbals due the fact that I am a lefty drummer!! This is a MAJOR design flaw in the module!! I tried to play them as I would my real drums (righty kit without crossing my hands to play the high hat), but this just leads to confusion during the songs as it reverses the snare & high hat on screen. The drums seem to be well made & extremely durable & accurate. I still enjoy playing them as opposed to the standard ones but COME ON!! IT SHOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT THROUGH R&D WITH THIS FLAW!!!
Customer Review: defective bass pedal and cheap parts
After spending 45 minutes putting my set together, I turned on rock band 2, and to my surprise, the bass pedal was defective and wouldn't work. I fooled around with it for another 20 or 30 minutes, but could never get it to register. I was able to test the pads out on freestyle mode, and they seemed to work great. However, the cymbals are not accurate with fast beats and one of the wing nuts that held the green pad was broken, and the pad fell after just 2 or 3 hits!! Amazon is sending a replacement set, but it seems that other people have had the same problem (another review mentioned a faulty pedal out of the box as well, although they still rated it a 4/5). While the pads seem like they are accurate, it seems to me the rest of the set is made of cheap parts that break easily.

The Guitar Hero III Companion Piece is a combination of two different products - a traditional soundtrack of music from the Guitar Hero III game and an expansion pack of songs for the game. We call this a "companion piece" since it is a compliment to the newest version of Guitar Hero III. This piece provides fans many of the key songs from the game as well as new songs/levels for them to play.
The music portion of the companion piece will feature songs from the Guitar Hero such as AFI "Miss Murder", Sonic Youth "Kool Thing", Queens of the Stone Age "3's and 7's", and many more.
The expansion portion for the game will literally be new levels for the game - new songs to be played in the Guitar Hero III game. These bonus songs will be delivered via a CODE on an insert in the CD package. This code is unique for Xbox Live, where the user can type in the code and download 3 exclusive tracks in guitar hero format directly into the Xbox game. These three "expansion songs" are unreleased material from 3 of the biggest rock acts in the world: * "Carcinogen Crush" from AFI (from a forthcoming EP of new material due in December) * "Tina" from Flyleaf * A remix of Marilyn Manson's "Putting Holes in Happiness" by Nick Zinner from Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Customer Review: Worth the buy
This album is mostly intended for those with the xBox 360 version of the game because you can use it to download 3 songs and play them in game. But other than that, it's a decent album (though it could use more tracks).
Guitar Hero 3 Intro- Pretty cool little intro. After all, Slash is an amazing guitarist. Yet there isn't anything special about this song. 8/10
Cherub Rock- I already had this song when I got the album, but I'm not saying it's a bad song. Smashing Pumpkins is a great band and this song is one of there best. 9/10
3's & 7's- I already had this song when I got this album, but again; not saying it's a bad song. In fact it might be one of the best! Queens of the Stone Age did an awesome job composing this. 9/10
Miss Murder- Didn't have this song when I got the album. I never really liked it enough to get it off iTunes. But now that I have this album, it's pretty good. 8/10
Slither- Slash's current band. not much of a fan of Velvet Revolver, but yet still a good song. 8/10
Kool Thing- This song is diffrent from the rest. Sonic Youth is a diffrent band. But it's still okay. 7/10
Cult of Personality (Guitar Hero Version)- Probably the main reason I got this. Living Colour re-recorded it with a solo that was 10 times harder than the orginal. probably my second favorite on the CD. 10/10
Putting Holes In Happiness (Nick Zinner Remix)- This is my favorite song on the CD. I had no idea what this song sounded like until I bought the CD. Nick Zinner remixs the song with a faster beat and awesome guitars. Kinda sounds like something by Nine Inch Nails. 10/10
Tina- Good song by Flyleaf. Though there's nothing much to say about it. Just your average hard rock song. 7/10
Prayer Of The Refugee- Not a fan of Rise Against, but still this is a good song. Goes back and forth from soft to hard rock. 8/10
Devil Went Down to Georgia (Guitar Hero Original)- Everyone has probably heard the classic country version of this song. Well Steve Ouimette preformed a heavy metal version with crazy dual guitar solos. I like this song, but the original is far more better! 9/10
So overall, this is a good album. They could have made it better by putting these songs on:
-Tom Morello Guitar Battle
-Slash Guitar Battle
-Anarchy in the U.K.(Re-recording)
-Number of the Beast
-Through The Fire and Flames
If you already have most of these songs, I wouldn't recomend getting it. But if have a 360 and a copy of the game. Get it for the 3 downloadable songs.
Customer Review: A genuine piece of trash
This product is a liar. They say you can download the companion pack, but everytime i go to the site, there is no place to type the code that I have. It is a real shame to fake the customers like this. I want a refund!!! This piece of garbage doesn't tell you at least that there is no way to obtain the code. Please buyers, don't buy it!!! Interscope Records really sucks!!!! at all.

Our precision-fit Xbox 360 faceplate skins cover any OEM (or equivalent) faceplate with the high-resolution and full-color design. Skins are paper-thin so they do not add any bulk. Skins are easy to apply (no bubbles), durable and easily removable without any residue.
Customer Review: Toxic 360 faceplate skin
The skin was easily applied with no air-bubbles or errors and the tips online were very useful. It lined up perfectly and the material allows for reapplication if you need to peel it up and retry. I would of liked to purchase a skin to match the rest of the Xbox, but the faceplate looks good by itself.
Customer Review: XBOX 360 Toxic Faceplate Skin
The skin itself looks great. It goes and comes off very easily. It just takes some time to get the skin on perfect, but don't worry if you mess up you can just take it off and re-adjust it. I also recommend getting the whole set for the whole 360 because it looks kind of awkward with just the white plastic on the sides. Also see my Customer Pictures®.

They can be recharged repeatedly eliminating the need for costly AA batteries.
Dual color charge status indicators Plugs directly to home power socket - no USB port or long wires required Black color matches the Xbox 360 Elite
Customer Review: Great value!
This is a great product. I have been using these batteries for about two months and they work well. They hold a good charge and I love the convenience of always having a backup battery ready to go.
Battery life of course depends on the game you're playing. But even on rumble intensive games, these batteries hold their own.
Only bad thing I could think of is that the batteries are slightly larger than the slot they go into, in the controller. They still fit, but just barely. Sometimes I've had to struggle to get the battery in.
But you can't beat this thing for the price. I highly recommend it.

Customer Review: So far, so Good...
I read reviews on the white version of this product for the standard Xbox 360, and most of them were quite bad.
I will say I just received this product, so this review is not made after long-term testing. HOWEVER, the issues made with the other version of this product were generally "out of the box" issues with LED's not lighting, the charger not properly charging batteries, and the batteries not working in the controllers.
I had none of these problems when I opened this package and set everything. The charger has multi-led's which show red when charging, green when "almost charged," and they go out when the batteries are ready. I put both batteries in right away and plugged the unit it. Both lights blinked through the settings, then went red. After about 3 hours, both lights were out. I snapped a battery into the controller and proceeded to game throughout the day without any issues. I'm anxious to see how long they'll hold a charge.
I was a little concerned with fit and finish - they seemed a smidge tight to snap into the controller, but not enough to worry me. Hopefully these will work out just fine.
If I can edit or add a review after further testing, I'll be sure to do so.

Customer Review: Works well with Xbox 360 RockBand
I bought this because I did not need the complete instrument set for RockBand. I was worried if the game would recognize the microphone or not. The microphone worked very well and would recommend it to anyone looking for one to purchase to use on RockBand.
Customer Review: Kids love it
I have the American Idol Karaoke game, and my kids were always fighting over the microphone to sing it since it came with only one. Finally I decided to purchase another mic so they can sing together. I chose this one, and it has impressed me so far. It works really well, no problems at all...except reminding them that it is hooked to the xbox360, so they can't run through the house singing with it. :)
