We purchased Rio several months ago. Our wii was acting up so I wanted a multiplayer game for the ps3. My kids age 8,7, and 5 really love this game. It's a series of minigames a along with quizzes if you turn them on. Their are enough games that I don't feel like I'm playing the same one every time that I play.

This game is enough fun that my husband and I stayed up with our friends until 2am playing without the kids! It really is fun for the whole family!

Some games (like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Phineas & Ferb 2nd Dimension) do a great job of capturing the essence of the movies/shows and make for a really fun game to play through.

Rio possesses some of those elements, but after you've went through the 100 or so minigames, which can be played in a lot of different modes (Party, Story, Quiz, etc.) there isn't really anything else to do save to try for the various trophies. The graphics are very good, controls are simplistic enough, and the cutscenes (during the storyline) are right out of the movie.

Obviously if your kids loved the movie and are satisfied with the minigame setup, this will hold their attention for a few weeks or so. Otherwise, I definitely would not purchase this game. There is simply not enough replay value for the price ($42 on Amazon at the time of this review) to justify.

I have long been searching for PS3 games that can be played by the whole family. I have 2 kids, aged 6 and 4. I got them Toy Story 3 for Christmas and they loved it. But it gets boring after a while. The Rio game, on the other hand have mini games and you could choose the games yourself (or pick Random if you wish). Graphics is pretty impressive! I love how the birds rejoice when they win. When we have guests come over, we also play this game. Both adults and kids enjoy this game.

I agree with the other commenter. I wish they made more games like this.

I like this one better than last years primarily because you can modify & paint your rifles & you can also make longer shots. On last years game the longest shot you could make was about 80 yards or so. Every kill had to be from close range, totally unrealistic. This time around there is a premium on long range 1 shot kills especially if you hit the target in the head. My longest kill so far is 220 yards, you know your on target if the game shows your bullet or arrow traveling to it's mark. There's something about firing your shot and having time to jet to the fridge to get a Corona and come back by the time it strikes. Also the terrain is alot more easily navigatable. My issue's with this game: why is there no 3rd person player option instead of always first person. Why must you operate the camera man's camera, your the shooter let the CPU take care of getting the cam shots. Not enough animals on the missions where you have to clear out varmints from landowners property & not a lot of time to kill the animals that are there. I mean it's possible to kill everything on the property well within the time limit but if your someone who likes to camp out and wait for a good one shot kill on everything on the property I think 20 minutes would've been better than ten, maybe they could have put the option of setting your own time limit. In the career mode, you only have two fire from options so basically the game selects where you shoot from & if you shoot a target before your at the selected location, the hunt fails, thats dumb. Also, why is it you can paint your guns but your camo you have on stays the same, thats stupid. In the Big Game Tournaments, you can only hunt the 1 trophy game, that's it. I think anything with antlers should be fair game, these ought to be missions where you take out as much game as you can within the selected time limit & if you get the trophy game as well, that's a huge bonus. Finally what do I have to do to unlock the camo paint for my guns, i can't find that information anywhere :( ...? I beat the game's career mode fairly fast, they could've made it a little longer it's cool though, you can go back and replay all the levels at your leisure to try to better your scores so in that aspect the game is alot of fun & for that reason to me has provided hours of playing perfecting my shots.

Good game with fantastic graphics and landscape. Anyone who loves realistic hunting games should get this. But note that it has only a few single player levels. Overall it is a great game!

I knew exactly what I was getting myself into when I purchased this game! As you may have read in other reviews it can be compared to Max Payne and Strangelhold. Especially the real bullet time. I'll tell you up front this game is not for everyone! PS3 Marketplace and XBOX Live each have the demo available for download to try it out.

The story plays exactly like a Quentin Tarentino movie. It is very fast paced, lots of running shooting, sword swinging action. There's the basic play, every few levels the main character (Rubi) goes into "rage" mode which turns the whole stage to blood red/white/black anime style which is fun. Other different things the game features are "time trial target practice modes" and a few scattered button pressing action sequence scenes. AKA It will tell you to press the "Triangle" at a certain moment and if you don't you will get shot/stabbed/fall off a moving vehicle.

There's no online multiplayer but this game is fun. Good music soundtrack, great action, controls take a little getting used to and certain things may feel a little repetitive to some but it's at least worth the rent if the demo doesnt grab you from the go. I have noticed that most either love it or hate it! and **spoiler alert**....the ending is terrible! The boss fight is nothing but button pressing action sequence! No challenge whatsoever!

I was so excited for this game and now I feel let down. This game literally had me wanting to throw my controller through my TV half the time. Wet is the story of a problem fixer named ruby voiced nicely by Eliza Dushku. She takes jobs to eliminate targets and get caught in a war between two drug lords. The characters and art styles of the game were interesting this game reminded me of Max Payne. The problem is Max Payne was better and it came out what 8 years ago. The aiming for this shooter is a bit dated what saves it is that when you jump slide or shoot time is slowed down and ruby always lock on one target with her duel weapons allowing you to mow down enemies. In fact if you aren't jumping or sliding or something you'll be dead soon. This works fine in combat and its fun. However the numerous bugs and glitches wear your patience thin by the 3rd level and things keep sliding down from there. I died a ton of times trying to jump from ledges due to poor camera and touchy controls. There were numerous sequences that really pissed me off. First there was this spot where you fell from a plane that must have took me about an hour and half to master. Then there was an area were you had to slide under a door and shoot 2 locks on each side to progress the auto aim is random and I found this task to be harder than it should have. The game is very fast paced and has a nice style its too bad they were so sloppy with its design. My advice is to pass or rent it. Don't buy it though, it's short and frustrating as hell.

I was anticipating WET since I first read about it on IGN. After finishing the game, I can say that it's pretty solid overall and I found it fairly enjoyable. A lot of people are complaining about the controls, but I found them to be pretty intuitive. Not really sure what their problems were. The style, presentation, acting and music are all top-notch. The graphics are a little rough around the edges, but I wasn't expecting them to be great. I found the acrobatics to remain surprisingly fresh throughout most of the game, although things do get a bit repetitive towards the end (and yes, the final boss "battle" sucks). But there were plenty of "woah" moments for me when I wondered how other games haven't already tried some of the aspects before. With trophy support and adjustable difficulties, I'll play through this again soon. It may not be worth the full $50+ price tag, but it's certainly worth checking out once the price drops or if you can find it used.

STORY: Quentin Tarantino-esque femme fatale Rubi is one ticked off chick. As a hired gun, she gets double crossed on a deal and sets out across three continents kicking butt, foregoing names, and acrobatically killing all who crossed her. Fun story, but not groundbreaking. Straight-to-DVD-movie-plot. If Eliza Dushku (who voices Rubi) was in Kill Bill, this is what it would have been like.

GRAPHICS: They look nice on both platforms, though the optional film grain can take away from the decent lighting and effects, shadows, and bloom. Fortunately, this can be removed, and it looks pretty comparable to other games. Not groundbreaking or anything that you haven't seen better elsewhere, but decent to the eyes. The level of detail and design and population of the levels is done with care.

SOUND: Entertaining 70's style music accompanies the 12 or so missions and the music changes at appropriate times. Not the same annoying beat as you go about killing. The sound effects of the guns, however, are pretty lame. Almost sound like an old VHS action movie.

GAMEPLAY: Rubi can jump, wall run, slide, flip, swing, hang, invert (man this babe is flexible) while shooting baddies in slow-mo. As long as you are still hitting your targets, the slow-mo never ends, so there is no time limit. If you do stop shooting or not hitting a target, the game returns to normal speed. You can kick it off again simply by doing another acrobatic move and shooting.

You run along various levels and locales, shooting or slashing (with your sword) all the bad guys, mix in with fun quicktime events (the car chase is breathtaking as you hop from car to car)! and that's pretty much the game. There are hidden cymbol-clashing monkey toys to find and health, but not much else to do except clear a room level, and move on to the next. The boss fights sadly, are also done with quicktime events, which I don't get. I love QT, but would have been nice to actually use your own skills when taking them down. There are separate challenge rooms you unlock such as timed run and gun, but that's about it. You can unlock BIOS and sketches from options menu, but no movies.

Lots of swearing, drug, alcohol, sexy stuff, so not a family game (though my grandma loved this. Just kidding!) But its fun. Not worth $60 though, I would rent or demo if interested. However, if you love a cheezy revenge plot game, with 8 hours of High octane action with brutal kills and don't mind the above flaws, this game is fun to unwind with. Akin to Dead to Rights where its fun and fast, but no lasting appeal, no multiplayer, and no reason to play it again once you've romped through the single player mission.

But, WetWork looks great on a resume if you are an assassin!

Wet was a game that came out towards the end of 2009. It was a very hyped game that played on that Kill Bill, Grind-house look and feel. Despite an over the top, grind-house attitude the game ended up coming across as a bit of a gimmick. You could say the sum of its parts did not end up creating a full pie.

Wet is a fun game. Once you sit down and play it, you won't want to put it down. Some of the moves are just totally over the top. The storyline is cheesy in a great way, however ends up really not making much sense towards the end and just kind of randomly ends without even encountering other key storyline guys you could of swore you would have to fight / take down.

Once finished however Wet gives really no reason to revisit it. You gain nothing more than trophies for acquiring collectibles and doing mini-games so unless you are a one to complete games to get that beautiful platinum (or max gamer score for 360 users) I found no reason to return to the game.

**Overall Wet is a good game, a great game definitely not and does fall into the over-hyped category. Because of this the game gets 4 stars (****) for fun, but only 3 stars(***) for overall value

**Currently the price is $19.99 which is a very fair asking price for this game. At the time I paid $59.99 for this game and it was definitely not a $60 title. Best example I can give is Wet comes across as being more of a $29.99 budget title. Is it worth playing, YES YES YES but make sure you don't over-pay for what you get.

To start off, this game lacks any kind of structure at all. Maybe I'm just spoiled with Call of Duty 4 or Medal of Honor but I figured since Activision did such a grreat job with COD4, I would give it a try. Now I'm 40 dollars more poor and I wasted 2 hours of my life. I didn't even finish the game it was that bad. All you do is follow around the same guy that says the same thing. The controls are way off. The AI in the game is horrific. The Japanese do the same thing over and over again. If you play it in surround sound, you'll hear the same explosion over and over again behind you that gets ridiculously annoying. The one saving grace I thought this game would have would be the graphics but even then they are mediocre. If I could give it zero stars or less, I would.The History Channel, Activision, and whomever else were involved with this game should be ashamed. What a joke. Be smart, avoid this dud at all costs!

this game downright sucks. the gameplay is extremely poor, the graphics look like something straight out the ps2 and the sound is very basic. most frustrating aspect of this game apart from what i have already mentioned is the truly cheesy way all the soldier's speak to one another. very unrealistic and tough to believe. if you are looking for a great 1st person shooter i would highly reccommend you avoid this and go for titles like COD4,MEDAL OF HONOR AIRBORNE,COD3 AND TIMESHIFT (in that order). when i think about the potential the ps3 has as a great gaming console and then play games like battle for the pacific it just makes me wanna throw the machine out the window. thank god for games like COD4 wich is in a class of it's own. this game in my opinion would's even get 1 star but it is compulsory to give a star. activision should hang up their gloves and call it a day. what were you guys thinking when you got this game together ?

Don't bother. There are so many better ways to spend those 40 plus dollars. From the graphics, to the level design, to the sound effects, to almost everything you can imagine, this game is a serious regression to the pre-Medal of Honor series era. Definitely not a game you'd like to see on your PS3 (especially if you just happened to bought the console and are buying your first games.) Such a pitty to see the History Channel -which I love to watchpromoting this game.

Beginning with Rock Band 3, all instrument peripherals (except for the Squier Strat real guitar controller being made by Fender) are being manufactured by Mad Catz. I've referred to Mad Catz as "Mad Crapz" more than once for the low quality of some of their accessories, though fortunately both the new guitar and the new keyboard seem to work well enough. But even though the new RB guitar is quite functional, I can't give it more than 3 stars.

The major emphasis on this revision of the guitar controller seems to be quieter fret buttons. The fret buttons on this guitar are definitely quieter than the frets on my old Rock Band 2 Strat, but the trade-off is in the tactile feedback of the buttons the buttons on this guitar are VERY squishy and don't depress much when pressed. Comparatively, the frets on my old RB2 Strat feel reassuringly crisp and the buttons depress noticeably. (I guess you'd say the RB2 Strat has higher action, to use the proper guitar term.)

Outside of the feel of the fret buttons, there is very little difference between this model and the older ones. The strum bar feels the same, as does the tremolo bar. The one other change is that the 5-way effects switch has been removed, but I certainly won't miss it.

Now, I understand my complaint is primarily a "feel" thing and undoubtedly some users will appreciate the new fret buttons' feel. But I kind of wish I'd spent my $60 on an RB2 Strat, though the trouble there is actually finding one.

This guitar controller is almost identical to the Rock Band 2 wireless guitar save for aesthetics. Like its predecessor, it is an improvement over the Rock Band 1 model in several areas:

The fret buttons are noticeably quieter and less "clicky".

The strum bar is also nearly silent. It still has a bit of that "mushy" feeling that some people complained about when comparing it to Guitar Hero controllers. Personally, I have always preferred the Rock Band strummer as it felt more natural compared to the Guitar Hero model. If you didn't like it before, this won't change your mind. After moderate use my strum bar sometimes makes a creaking noise if I move it slowly (like it needs to be oiled).

The battery compartment on the back is also much easier to get into thanks to the change from having to unscrew tiny screws in the Rock Band 1 guitar to a simple tab release.

One thing that hasn't changed is that, for the PlayStation 3, the guitar requires use of a USB "dongle" which hangs off the PS3. Not a big deal, and it's better than having a wire, but I'm hoping eventually we can see a true bluetooth model that connects to the PS3 like regular controllers do.

Also worth noting is that the 5-way effects switch has been removed. When playing a game such as Rock Band 1 there is no way to change effects at all, and the default setting is set to "echo" instead of "off" which means that whenever you use overdrive or enter a guitar solo you are forced to hear the notes in the "echo" setting. Not a big deal but certainly annoying. The switch must have been removed to cut costs.

Finally, the only two color choices for PS3 users are "cherry" red and a rather pale shade of blue. These are rather unexciting.

Overall, this is worth picking up if you plan on jumping into Rock Band or are considering getting a new guitar controller. From what I've heard, the Rock Band 2 guitar is actually the best of the bunch but is harder to find. Good luck and good shredding!

The Fender Stratocaster guitar controllers are a MUST replacement over OEM Rock Band guitars. Original guitars drove me NUTS with the clicking of the strum bar, sometimes interfering with my concentration, causing errors. The Fender Strat's strum bar is COMPLETELY SILENT, no clicking at all!!! The whammy bar is a bit out of place from what I was used to before, but I think I will adjust to it in time. The silent strumming took a while to acclimate to also, you don't feel or hear a click, so you aren't sure you did it hard enough, resulting occasionally in a double-strum. I am adjusting to it though, and am VERY happy with the purchase.

Read Best Reviews of Rock Band 3 - Wireless Fender Stratocaster Guitar Controller for PlayStation 3 Here

The strum bar is completely silent. The previous version was good, and I actually used the click of the strum bar to keep time. This one is so quiet that you don't hear yourself playing, so if you have a series of fast notes, you have to pay attention so that you don't strum an extra note at the end. The fret buttons are probably the same as the last one, very quiet and responsive. This guitar is the best choice for the new generation, even better than the more expensive models (that I sent back).

update:

Sometimes these guitars have a oversensitive strum bar. You would think that a plastic guitar that costs more than a real guitar would be perfect out of the box. I was having problems with the down strum registering several strums killing my score. I took the screws out of the back (not the front side screws) to expose the back of the trigger. There is a small magnet encased in plastic that triggers a conductor (on each side) when it moves up and down. I used vinyl repair to add more insulation eliminating the problem of being too sensitive. You can use any kind of caulk, silicon, etc. If you have a guitar that isn't sensitive enough, you can take a small knife and shave the plastic down on the side that is next to the conductor.

Much as I enjoy my GH guitars, I needed a "real" RB axe to get the trophies. The single biggest adjustment (after finally gaining success at GH touch strip) is in the solo frets. Play on one and you can play them all is the theory, though this guitar feels to have slightly different dimensions than the OEM model. No complaints on play; most of my issues stem from my own build not playing nicely with RB hardware (I have small hands and the reach at the solo frets is a semi-major adjustment).

Played fine out of the box and seems to work as intended. Worked with GH5, GHWT, RB1, and RB2 as well as the promised RB3 (haven't attempted the other disks as yet); also accepted all DLC for the full RB and GH series. Like others I would prefer a true wireless rather than dongle-connect, but this seems to be a standard thing currently. Takes "double A" batteries.

Picked this one over others for the blue finish; strictly preferential. Removed from my Amazon wishlist when I almost literally tripped over it in a store.

Recommend.

edit 1 March 2012:

Have since used it with GH3, Rock Revolution, and GH: WoR; works great with all games and their respective DLC. Picked up RB:AC/DC today and will edit again once I've had a chance to playtest (though I expect it to work there as well).

I would not recommend this cable at all. I purchased this cable in order to hook up a PS3 to a Samsung 40" LCD TV. The highest setting I could get though was 1080I. I subsequently purchased another cheaper HDMI cable from Amazon and had no issues at all getting set up at 1080P.

"no such thing as a better cable" is a misnomer. HDMI cables are rated by the bandwidth capacity (commonly known as bitrate per second), the higher the rate, the more info it can pass digitally in a given timeframe. Why is this important? Because, as games become faster, and higher-bit color graphics emerge, HDMI cables will need the additional bandwidth capacity to smoothly transmit the digital signal from game/video source to your T.V. Emerging technologies, such as 12, 16, and 18-bit color, and "lossless audio" will become standard in the near future.

There are some HDMI cables capable of 3.4 Gbit/s, which can more than handle today's 1080P/12-bit color requirements. Some manufacturers, like Monster Cable, claim 10.2 Gbit/s with their M1000HD series HDMI cable, but it's really 3.4 Gbit/s cable multiplied by it's channels (3).

Current sources, such as HD DVD, BluRay and the current crop of PS3 games are adequately served by the HDMI cable listed here. However it won't be long before a "better cable" is required to handle the latest technology. You don't have to sweat it, for the moment.

This cable did not work with any of my equipment. I ordered it with my PS3 to connect directly to my TV. I had no signal at all. Also tried from my HD cable box to the TV and had no better luck.

I tried my PS3 with another HDMI cable and had no problems.

Don't buy this cable.

I commented fairly extensively on HDMI cable technology about 16 months ago. Some people are having a problem with this particular cable. I've found through doing several hook-ups of friend's and family's systems that they were usually doing something wrong in the hook-up process. Typically, after installing the HDMI cables they failed to change the source input/ouput to HDMI on their TV's or game consoles, or incorrectly matched the source resolution that best suits their TV. It is important to sync the hardware so it's all on the same page.

That being said, I won't defend this cable. I don't use it. I found Blue Jeans Cable to be perfectly suited for my 1080p setup. I use Belden bonded-pair HDMI 1.3a cable (apx. $4/ft) throughout my system. Moving to 1.3a or better will help to futureproof your system. And any decent HDMI cable will operate your PS3, so you don't have to buy this one.

Want PS3 HDMI Cable Discount?

Although this seems to be a fairly well constructed cable for the price, it does not appear to be 1.3 compliant. Avoid the hype that it says it's for PS3. If your TV requires an HDMI 1.3 compliant cable, you will not get better than 1080i, or in my case, garbled video. Nowhere on the packaging could I find the spec, even on the MFR's web site.

I lived in England from 1978 to 1982 and fell in love with Snooker while I was there. For a casual fan, this game is fantastic. You start out as rookie, play qualifying matches, enter tournaments, manage your career and create as many players as you like. The in game commentary is funny but a bit repetitive but I didn't mind it where a lot of afficianados turned it off. I liked it because I miss the quirky British humor that often was displayed by the announcers on BBC TV. The game mechanics are perfect, it's most of the fluff that isn't quite commensurate with the gameplay itself. If you want the fluff, forget it, don't buy it. If you love to play snooker, by all means buy this game!

I just purchased these last night, Nov 1st, to use while playing BattleField 3 for xbox 360. These are my first headsets for online gaming and so far they are just OK...I dont think they are worth the $179 price...they seem to be basic wireless headsets with some built-in dsp (digital signal processing) presets..think equilizer for your stereo. Now for the Fun Stuff . From their website:

"The EFB also comes with a "Field Supplies" card, featuring a unique code to unlock access to an exclusive Turtle Beach / CoD: MW3 mini-site where you will find:

* Access to exclusive downloadable artwork

* Discounts on Turtle Beach swag

* Exclusive offers from Turtle Beach and partner companies for deals on MW3 content and other items that you can't get anywhere else

* ...and much more!"

I went to their website and accessed the MW3 "special" area. " " and looked at the "exclusive" content. The only items that are on that page are

* Ear Force Bravo Enhanced Audio Preset Manager Software theres EarForce Delta also, but thats it)

* Additional Call of Duty: MW3 Enhanced Audio Presets for the Ear Force Delta

* Turtle Beach Apparel Promo Code

* Turtle Beach Call of Duty: MW3 PC Wallpaper / Screensavers

With the product description about programmable presets, I was thinking I would be able to customize the presets...WRONG... I install the software, but the "Additional" presets I downloaded are the SAME as the ones already installed with the Manager software..nothing programmable at all. Where is all the "Exclusive" content? Wallpapers of the headsets and discounts for buying clothing?? There are no additional presets like the PX3 has. All that can be done is cycle through the presets.

Pros:

* wireless

* flexible boom mike

* clear speech with no background hiss and decent game sound, but it can get a little muddled when a lot is going on where you cannot tell where even a helicopter is.

* separate Chat and Game sound volume controls

* rechargable lithium-polymer battery

* lightweight

* the headband has a springsteel band (not sure how far it goes into the earcup legs)

Cons:

* Overpriced nearly $80-90 more compared to a wired version. Probably about $50 more than a wired dolby 5.1 version.

* lightweight feels kind of cheap for the price

* fabric earcup material is a little irritating

* Lackluster "Exclusive" content

* rechargable lithium-polymer battery pack does not appear to be replaceable.

* Programmable "Pre-sets" are just presets...nothing programmable about them. You can cycle through the presets by pressing the preset button on the headset...that is it. I was unable to use any of the other headset presets I downloaded from Turtle Beach.

* Seems to be only simulated surround sound, as the wireless transmitter uses the standard Red/White RCA jacks for the input. They are NOT dolby 5.1/7.1, that requires their DSS accessory for an additional $89!

* For being wireless, there are a LOT of cables -

* USB charging cable for headset

* USB cable for powering the transmitter

* audio splitter cable from source to transmitter (RCA to 3.5mm jack)

* xbox306 talkback audio cable from headset to controller so you can talk.

Result? You may want to consider the Xbox 360 Wireless Headset X41 by Voyetra/Turtle Beach with Dolby Headphone 7.1 Surround Sound instead...its $20 cheaper and is true 7.1 DSS.

While these are def overpriced, due to my setup I needed wireless for my 360. These were great to keep the wife happy during long gaming sessions at night. These are not programmable as they say. Installed software and just gave option of MW3 presets which are already there. Just ordered dss today. All in all great headset. Pretty comfortable. Tried a set of Xp500 and we're too large for my ears. Went with these due to rechargeable battery. I was afraid of going through too many batteries. All in all great purchase but hindsight is 20/20. In retrospect I would have picked up a set of px3's and added dss. This would give you simulated 7.1 and rechargeable wireless at a better price.

First off just let me say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS HEADSET. Ok so with that being said I bought this for myself for my Bday because i felt i was good this year and deserved to treat myself. I got it to use on my Xbox 360 (ebony) and I'm use to playing with the ole rinky dink one that comes with the system. I wanted something to help take my gaming to the next level and I searched all over the net trying to decide which headset to get and i came across this one. Did research on it and got plenty of mixed reviews but 80% of the bad ones were about the cost (which i must admit i was iffy about myself but was very reluctant to find a pair here for $119.00) and not the product itself other than the whiners complaining about too many wires for it being wireless... Really??? One goes to the transmitter for power, another to the transmitter for the sound of the game to come through and the last is to charge the headset from the transmitter when it needs to be charged. Which by the way i used for a 14hr MW3 session and still had power to go more. Then there is a wire for if you want to use the headset as wireless earphones for your TV, watch movies, mp3 player, or whatever else you can think of for OPTIONAL enjoyment. Umm the headset itself is still only has one and that's only for IF you want to chat. connect to your 360 controller from headset. No big deal.

Now the sound is amazing. You can select from a list of preloaded sound presets to focus in on what you want to hear and you really can hear the difference they make. I read a few people say they heard no difference... either tone deaf or dirty ears that need a good cotton swab cause even my grandma heard the switch from explosions to footsteps. (not a dramatization) Anywho then there is the hurts ears thing. That is based off of your anatomy and I cant help you there i can see how it may hurt some people after a while, but my ears fit right in the holes so not a problem for me.

So all in all I guess what I'm saying is that I would def recommend this to anyone who like myself really didn't know much about a headset past the basics and want a good, quality gaming experience with tremendous sound. I wanted to welcome MW3 with a new experience and I must say I'm happy I took the chance with these. I may have been luck with the price but after actually having a hands on experience with them i wouldn't have minded if i had to pay full price. Great buy for any gamer be it a "noob" or a vet. Oh I almost forgot I have a ps3 as well, rarely play but still and all whenever they come up with something worth powering it on for again I can use these hybrid babies on it as well as a pc. So yea def worth it.

On a side note for anyone who has a 360 hit me up my gamer tag is: Deaths Songxx. Hope my review helps and good luck.

I see there's no review on this yet so I'm gonna do a very quick review based on only my 1st weekend with this headset. I'm using this on my Xbox 360. I'm no a PC person. My PS3 is dead so I cannot test it out (I wanted to see if it worked for my Blu Ray movies). I will update this review from time to time. I've owned the X11, X31, and now MW3 Bravo. I love this headset. Sounds awesome. Probably cause I also own the Earforce DSS 7.1 Sound Processor. I don't really know the big differences between the combo of what I have and the Delta version. This retails here for $170 and the Delta is $300. I'd rather buy the DSS than spending an extra $130 but that's just me. I got my Bravo on sale at my local dept store for $150 so I think I got a nice deal. I'm going to try and point out stuff that's not already stated on the descriptions.

Mic mute button It's now on the headset itself rather than on the wire. I'd rather have it on the wire cause now all of the buttons are on the headset now which makes it harder for me to access it.

Mic chat volume button It's also on the headset itself too instead of on the wire. However, it's now 2 clicky buttons (like a cell phone)instead of the dial. I like it better this way cause the dial was too sensitive for me.

***11/10/11 Update*** Once in a while when I'm chatting w/ my friends/family on chat. I hear a minor echo form them. Not a bad 3 second delayed repeating echo. It's like they're talking to me from a bathroom. It's not really bad but it's there. There's even a sticker on the chat aux cord that states if you hear an echo to unplug and plug it back in...which didn't solve it for me.

Presets They're now 2 buttons. One for the main (normal) sound and the other is to select the programmed presets. Both buttons are small rectangular shaped instead of the older tiny circular buttons from the older headsets. I like it better this way. It comes with 8 presets. 3 for campaign (1-enhancer, 2-bass boost, 3-high frequency boost) and 5 for multiplayer (4-enhancer, 5-footsteps focus, 6-bass boost, 7-amplifier, 8-precision). I can't tell which I'm on though. The only way I can assume is if I press the main preset button, it should reset to 0. I then press the preset button only assuming it goes in numerical order from there. When I find out if I'm right or not, I'll update this review.

***11/10/11 Update*** It's still hard to tell which preset you're on. It beeps when you press it for the 1st 4 presets and the beeps quieter for the last 4 presets. Doesn't really help me.

Game volume Just wanna state it's still a dial and not buttons

Rechargeable battery This is one of the main reasons why I got this. I'm assuming this will be a lot better than using batteries since it should last longer (10 hours). There is now a usb port on the headset. You can now charge the headset when you're not playing or while playing. I don't know if it'll beep or give you a warning if it needs to be charged. I just got this but I'll update my review when it happens. I charged it using a regular power source and it worked fine doing it that way. It comes with a LONG usb cord. It's over 13 ft long (I used measuring tape to find out). I didn't know why but then I thought about it, it's gives you the option to connect the usb from where you're using the headset to your console/sensor. This usb cord is marked with a sticker that it's used for charging and it cannot be used for data transferring.

Chat auxiliary cable cord This is the cord that connects your headset to your controller. I think it's shorter than normal. It's only about 3 feet long. I like a little more slack while I'm still chatting and grabbing a snack or a drink from the kitchen. I wish it was maybe a foot or 2 longer. There's also a stick attached to mark it. It states if you hear an echo to plug in both sides the cord (weird).

Sensor Simple. you switch between using it for PS3, PC, or Xbox 360. This is the 1st sensor I've seen that there's no clear plastic on the front cover with a red light on. I don't know if that's better or not. There is a usb port on the the side of it. It's for charging your headset (using the 13 ft long usb cord). It's a nice option for people that don't want more wire clutter on your console.

***11/10/11 Update*** When I turn off my Xbox 360, the sensor's green little light in the front still blinks. It doesn't stop. I don't know if it's a good idea or not. I just unplug the usb cord just in case and plus it's annoying.

Wireless As you know it's wireless. So far there have been not cutting off or crackling sounds like happened time to time on my X31 headset. Again, I've only used it this weekend so I'll update this as time progresses.

***11/10/11 Update*** Bang for your buck It's a little overpriced. The X41 has 7.1 Surround Sound and is a lot cheaper. Again, I wanted the internal battery that can be charged. That still makes a huge difference to me. Also, the other Turtle Beach wireless headsets, such as the X31 and PX5, has annoying random crackling sounds and some sound cut offs (even when there's no much wireless stuff going on around its sensor). That has not happened to the Bravo headset.

Again, it sounds better than my previous Turtle Beach headsets. The atmosphere on the sound, music, surrounding explosions, vehicles, running/footsteps, reloading, gun fire, etc on Battlefield 3 multiplayer and campaign sounds so awesome. I think it's a nice alternative for people who can't afford getting the Delta. Just don't forget to pick up the DSS with it.

***11/10/11 Update*** Been playing a lot of MW3 since the midnight launch. Sounds just as good as playing Battlefield 3. It's not worse or better than using it with other great FPS games. There's not too much edge.

I pre-ordered it and wanted to give it some use before reviewing it.

I've been using the same X11 headset for 2 years now and felt it was a good chance to upgrade.

First off I like the presets but you can't add additional presets or change the ones already there apparently.

It's not a big deal to me because I like the ones there but considering its the same thing as the PX3 headset you think you'd be able to have more control.

A big reason I had bought my X11's in the first place and not the X31's or X41's was because I hated the idea of having to replace batteries.

Being able to recharge my headset while I played was a highlight for me.

All the buttons are well placed on the headset and I got used to using them without being able to see them within a few days.

This headset is definitely a little overpriced but if your a big CoD fan like I have been the last 12 years. They're a nice upgrade.

My Pros

Feels just as good on my head if not better than the X11's.

Presets seem to work well with CoD games.

Sound in general is great.

Aux works greats so I can record on my PVR and listen to music.

Mic isn't over sensitive.

My Negatives

Can't alter presets

Overpriced

If you care about presets or think it'll bother you get the PX3's. They're basically the same headset.

If you're a diehard CoD fan go for these.

I bought this item from Best Buy thinking it would be an OK 4 controller charger. 2 of the connecting ports quit working after 2 weeks and would not charge the controllers. I got mine thinking it would last for a while as anyone would. I would suggest looking for a different charger and save yourself the hassle.

2 stars because it only charges some of the time.

After docking a controller the red light on the charger will light up and the 4 lights on the controller blink. When fully charged the controller lights will stop blinking but well over half the time the controllers show that they are low on battery life and die shortly after use. I know this is not a problem with the controllers themselves as they always accept a full charge when hooked up through USB cable.

as for aesthetics, I do like the setup. It nicely arranges 4 controllers and takes up little room since it's not that big.

Comparatively, the Rocketfish Quad Charge Station has a very small footprint on my entertainment stand. Since the device uses an AC wall adapter, your USB ports remain free. Charges all 4 of my controllers at the same time. I have not experienced some of the "fragile" and "easily broken" complaints that other reviewers have expressed. The only improvement I could recommend would be for the manufacturer to design the station in a manner to avoid potential scratches and gouges that may result from trying to line up the charging port on the controller with the device. Thankfully, I have not had this issue yet, either!

Nothing special about this. It gets the job done.

It is a bit annoying to lock the PS3 controller in place... I mean.. the item is cheap... but it works

The downside is it only works via USB from your PC, TV, PS3. Personally I wish it worked with an outlet as my other controllers (Wii and 360) are on a side stand right next to me...but this I have to relocate elsewhere. I tried plugging the USB to an USB to AC adapter.. I have various ones and none of them work.

I ended up giving the product to my friend ant purchased the PS3 Charge Base by Nyko instead. Much more satisfied.

I bought this intercooler about 2 weeks ago since I play for a couple hours straight and bricked my previous 2 60gb launch PS3's (blurays wouldnt read anymore and ylod). So with this slim I decided no matter how quiet it is I was going to buy a cooling fan when one was available for my 120gb slim. So far its good, despite what the previous review said it fit pretty secure (as long as you dont move the unit around which shouldnt be a problem) and stays flush only thing is you really have to stick the ac plug in really hard to push it all they way in the intercooler. It does make the slim louder put not as loud as my old PS3's not a big deal, and after awhile if you do put your hand over the fans you can feel all the hot air it spits out. So when it comes to sucking hot air out it is doing its job. The only major problem I had with it was a couple of days later I noticed it wouldnt turn off after shutting down my PS3, I thought I had a defective unit but figured out what was causing it. The problem was I had remote play "on" so I can get my PSP to turn on my PS3 on remotley as long as i had a internet connection, so even though i shut down my PS3 just the fact they wireless connection was still on the unit (evident by the wireless light still blinking when the unit is off) despite the PS3 being shut off it would still keep the fans on. So turning the option back off solved that problem and now the fans shut off when I turn my system off. So if you play for a couple hours straight and want piece of mind I suggest you go and buy this. Four stars for me but 1 star docked for the minor problems of fan not shutting off problem, ac plug hard as heck to plug in, and minor fan noise.

I didn't read all the comments on amazon but so far nobody has mentioned the buzzing noise that happens after about 3 weeks of use. I bought one of these for my 250 slim and i start buzzing after about 3 weeks. Sounds like one of the fans vibrating loose. By the time I got around to returning it the 30 day was up. So I bought another one, same thing after about 4 weeks. This time it got progresivly louder to the point when it was unbearable. So I unclipped it and piched it in the trash. This product is a POS.

What a pile of junk! I was having problems with my PS3 overheating and found this product for only $20 so I figured, why not. Well I should have listened to the other bad reviews it got before I purchased it. It is LOUD...even on low speed it is LOUD. Then after 2 weeks of listening to its loudness it starts making an even worse screeching noise! DO not waste your money on this!!

Squeeze this baby and you are on your way own lemonade stand! It worked at first so I threw away the packaging. Within 48 hours it began to squeal on startup like a ferret on fire. At first this lasted a few seconds and then the cooler would work fine. Over the course of the next two days the squealing lasted longer every time I turned the system on. The high/low button never worked at all that I could tell. What will I do with this device? I am going skeet shooting next week....

Update: 9/25/12 I decided I would run this screaming black lemon just to see what would happen. After about 50 hours of gameplay, give or take a few, it started to smell hot. Then the fan that was squealing got really loud and then little whisps of visible smoke began to blow out the vent. Suppose I had left the system on to recharge the controller while I did errands or took a nap or something? I took this lump of melted plastic out and, yes I really did go skeetshooting eventually. The most satisfying part of my Nyko experience was watching this Intercooler turn to shards in the air. BUY AT RISK TO YOUR PROPERTY AND POSSIBLY YOUR LIFE. What if I had fallen asleep and it had caught fire?

Want Nyko Intercooler Slim for PS3 Discount?

This thing forces all the hot air through a narrow space (3 small fans) and results in the front of the PS3 getting very cold, while the back part creating the heat is overheating. It is a terrible design is does the opposite of what is advertises. Do not buy this product. Instead, turn your PS3 so that the back fan can expel air without restriction.

This product is dangerous for a PS3 and voids the warranty with Sony.
