The sound is really nice but damn it's hard to get support...I now have the Play 5 and the Play 1 - I was planning to get another Play 1 and the soundbar but I need some assistance from SONOS and for some reason, every time I try to contact them they tell me they cannot communicate with me because they don't recognize my email address.  RIDICULOUS!

Wish I could figure out why the system stops playing all by itself?

Great Game. I don't have a display card but it still plays pretty well, without much lag. However, it has problem connecting to the network of users of the games. I can only play with computer alone now.

My first time playing this--I'm enjoying it so far!! I'd enjoy it even more if I knew how to take the timer off!!

We love playing this game!  Have to find a place to put the string and hook to play.  Seen other models where it is all one piece.

I love this game and was pleased to find it still available.  It defaults to window view whenever I close and reopen it, even with the 'do not switch to window' option in display options chosen, which is slightly annoying.  Otherwise it works great.  I play it nearly every day!

I absolutely LOVE this game, but only having one hand makes it difficult for me to stay in the game for any real length of time.

In addition to the other great, informative reviews that others have written (all things I agree to), I'd like to add a tip: buy hand weights if you don't have them already.  The upper-body workout is worthless without them.  While the game is fabulous and I enjoy every minute, the makers seem to indicate it's not necessary to own certain exercise equipment.....but unfortunately it is.

No Xbox is complete without this game.  It is a great solo game and an even better multi-player game.  I just hosted a multi-player party (4 consoles, 4 TVs, 8 players) and it was unbelievable!!!

The update loading screen is epic! Best $20 I have ever spent. Can't play the game though!

Longtime bungie fan finds some time in a busy life to play the next gen shooter. Jokes on me because you can not play without the game updating which is a 6 hour process despite my very fast internet. Wait, you can't play offline at all?

Last bungie game I will ever buy. I would give zero stars if i could. I'd rather fire up Dr. Jekyle and Mr. Hide. At least I am allowed to play that game.

One of the best playlists ever. I am playing the game on my xbox, using gh controllers and I don't have a single problem. Only thing I can call bad is, game's shop is offline.

The lack of an offline play option is a SERIOUS drawback.  Suppose I wanted to play this on a long airplane ride?  Or, in my case, up at my cabin where I have no internet access?  Not possible.  Blizzard really screwed up by not allowing an offline play mode for D3.

The only reason why I gave it an overall two stars instead of one star is that I am actually enjoying playing the game.  BUT, I would much rather play it on my main PC with its 22" screen and high power graphics card which will NEVER have internet access (by choice).  Instead I am stuck with having to use my laptop with its 14" screen (my only D3 capable PC with internet access).

So, in summary...
- If you had planned to play this game offline most of the time, do not waste your money on this offline-unfriendly product.  You WILL NOT be able to play this game without an internet connection.
- If your internet is available 24/7 and never breaks down, then you'll have no problem playing this game.  Buy it and enjoy it and think of all the rest of us who feel we wasted our money expecting the capability to play offline.

I should have done this a longggg time ago.  Playing without cords is fantastic.  The controller works great except the buttons require a little more positive action to work.  I think they should be more sensitive.  On the other hand the D-pad is too sensitive and tends to exhibit this quality when scrolling through a list.  Otherwise I would rate this five stars.

I'm handicapable and these triggers and caps make it possible to play a video game. Without them I can only play for an hour or so, but with them I can play all day
