My Thoughts!

Everything I needed for the PS3 hookup was included. A USB A/B cord hooks up to the PS3 and the optical sound cord, though short, was fine. I have not checked voice with the PS3, but it sounds good.

The 360 required a sound dongle, which I ordered from a secondary distributor via Amazon for around $10.

My WiFi for the 360 is wonky and I think I discovered the reason. Whenever my wife's PC is off, the WiFi cuts out though we have two other PCs on the router. For whatever reason, it drops the signal. I figured that out last night, but didn't get a chance to test my theory with a friend in Borderlands on the 360 and felt sheepish in trying to chat with JCat since we've never spoken in person before. "Hey, uhh... You wanna talk with me...?" (Awkward pause)

Anyway, so far when it works, the sound is great directionally. The sound is crisp, the bass is a little understated. The headphones are a little heavy, but I wore them for around 2 1/2 hours last night and they didn't hurt my ears.

An expensive trinket to be sure, but a good solution, especially if you don't want to get two different headsets. All I have to do right now is change the optical source from one machine to the other.

Moving on...

Playing LEGO Batman on the new 360 Elite (I know, I know).  No LIVE connectivity yet, I'll get a WiFi dongle eventually - stupid out of the box Japanese electronics and their built-in WiFi!  Curse you DS for spoiling me!

Started Assassin's Creed after finishing off Borderlands.  I'm thinking about trading in Borderlands for Darksiders...

Borderlands Platinum

Borderlands - Island of Dr. Ned

Finished it last night before midnight.  Definitely an enjoyable romp with zombies. 

SPOILER:

If you want to do Braaains! missions - start early.   Undead TK is located in the SW corner of Hallow's End, the first subzone outside of Jacob's Cove.

Platinum #2 - Ratchet & Clank

Not much of an achievement, but a very enjoyable game and kiddie-friendly.
