That was today's purchase for me as well. Picked it up for £15 so I'm pretty chuffed. The only problem I have with it, is it's far too short. 21 minutes per episode, six episodes per series? Great show though!

i completely agree.... hour long shows usually have 8ish episodes, like Hustle etc, 20 min shows usually have well in the teens of episodes.

Oh thats a great gift to yourself. I picked the Hawks to win. I was a season seat owner of the Panthers for eight years before I moved to Greece. BY FAR my favorite sport! People want to knock the game, but there is no other sporting event thats more exciting than a playoff hockey game. See it live once, and you are hooked!

Once you get some use out of those let me know how well they work. I'm thinking of getting the X2 Wireless version but I'm not too sure. I'm looking for headphones that allow you to control the volume of the speech and the volume of the game independently.

Every other headset I have seen out there just plays them all at the same volume and not every game has an adjustment for it.

The TRITTON headset looks really promising though, those things are SLICK!

The Turtle Beach headset is my first one ever so I can't compare them to anything else. But, from what I've experienced I don't know how I ever played video games without a headset. They do intensify the gaming experience.
The headset is equipped with two volume controls, one for game sound and the other for speech (speech volume is for how loud you want your friends/teammates to hear you. You can't hear your voice through the headset).
The only negative thing I have about the Turtle Beach headset is the cable that connects to the controller to the amplifier for speech. It seems quite flimsy or too pliable and maybe the cause of people losing the speech function of the headset over time of use. Another negative point, and it really isn't Turtle Beachs fault, is that the headset is always "on" even though the 360 is turned off. Turns out the 360 USB ports have a constant power supply even with the 360 off. No big deal, I just unplug the USB connector.
I was considering the Tritton but the price and needing two adapters to power that beast on scared me away.

i think the price is justified considering the other headset options e.g. Tritton

@Andrew Henrey

That's an awesome camera; have had it for a few months. It takes excellent shots. I recommend this book to learn more about it and use it to your full potential.

P.S. Where did you buy it at? I got mine @B&H with the 55-200mm VR lens for a total of $507. Pretty good deal if you ask me :D
