Customer Reviews

AMAZING
I bought this product because i was getting bored with just playing the cpu all the time, but what a purchase !!! It is excellent it adds much more longlivity to games (especially the brilliant halo 2) and there is always someone to play with. An essential purchase for any xbox owner !!!!!! See you on live!

Don't get this for the headset.
I only brought this because it's the cheapest way to extend your Xbox Live account for 12 months, and you get a headset thrown in.

However, the headset is absolutely awful. Not only is it sized to fit the head of the BFG, but the earpiece doesn't sit plush with any ears that I've come across.

As it stands, this is a good purchase for Xbox Live subscribers to get their accounts good for another year, but get rid of the headset. Plantronics make this headset, but yet they make so much better and more ergonomic headsets under their own brand.

Take a look at the Plantronics X20 for a decent headset.

Fantastic.
If you have an xbox and can connect it to a broadband connection get this now! It is brilliant. Friends list which interlink with all games so you can send messages to each other although you are on a different game. Headset allows voice and game 90% of the time is lag free (this may depend on your connection speed and how you connect)

It's such good fun, hours of fun await anyone who buys this!

(you will need Xbox live enabled games of course. I recommend Halo2!)
