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.

Playseats Classic Gaming Seat



With a true-to-life cockpit design, the Classic Gaming Seat from Playseats puts you smack dab in the middle of your favorite racing game. The seat works with most racing titles and game systems, including the Xbox 360, GameCube, PlayStation, PlayStation2, and PCs. More importantly, the chair is notably comfortable while delivering the most realistic racing simulation around. Just install a game steering wheel on the middle pole and attach a couple of pedals along the bottom (all sold separately).



Enjoy the ultimate race gaming experience with Playseats.
The setup is easily adaptable, with three adjustment knobs letting you move the wheel and pedals closer or farther, depending on your height. And thanks to the high-quality steel construction, you needn't worry about the gaming seat falling apart after just a few short months. Appropriate for ages 8 and older, the seat is the perfect accessory for gamers who want to boost their lap times in style.

Once assembled, it measures 51.2 x 20.5 x 38.6 inches (L x H x W) and it has a maximum weight capacity of 235 pounds. It's recommended for ages 8 years and older.




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.
