goodbye CAG. You haven't been fun for awhile now. Too many hoarders, lurkers and flippers.

Well I found those Z506 speakers for 70% off. And a Red Wings LEGO Zamboni, and a Batman flash drive... I don't need any of this, why am I buying it?!
When you guys set them up can you post a mini-review? I'm on the fence and a store near me has em in stock. Thanks in advance.In this case...I think I'm a worse wreck than you. Not only did I buy the speakers for $24, but...
Good luck, have fun!
That's how I would use em too. I was thinking about picking up a soundbar but this would be a whole lot cheaper if it pans out.I'm going to attempt to use them as TV speakers so I'll post how that goes.
I think I own the same set of speakers, I like them. Only downside are the wires... and my smartphone does interfere with them at times (only because I it sits on my desk near them). I'd get another set for my TV, but don't think my store has these in stock, just a miscount.That's how I would use em too. I was thinking about picking up a soundbar but this would be a whole lot cheaper if it pans out.
If it's the same as what I suspect happened at one of my stores, someone took them to customer service and decided to not buy them (price didn't ring up right or something) and then the employees checked it back into their inventory so now they have an incorrect count.That's my thought and more flexible probably.
I was at two stores and both were off by one on them. One said one and had zero the other said two and had one.

Well if you use those as TV speakers, you may need to adapt them a little bit if you want full 5.1 sound as they only have the three 3.5mm jacks. It'll be "surround stereo" sound. Sadly, if you wanted optical or digital inputs you'd have to pony up a whole lot more bread before you can get that (which in turn, it would be worth more buying an AV receiver with speakers at that point).That's how I would use em too.

Is it the Bluetooth bar with woofer?I also got the $90 Sony sound bar with sub. That thing is amazing for the price
Yep. CT370.

If you already have an AV receiver, there may be some individual RCA outputs on the back for 5.1. In that case you'll need a set of 3.5mm to RCA adapters to make it work.
If you'd like to void your warranty and just for s***s and giggles, you can also cut the 3.5mm jacks off, strip the rubber insulation, and use the center wire as + connection and the surrounding insulating wire as - connection.
You can probably tell that I've done this before......long before I had a job and would jury-rig whatever I had to do something.

Did they already pull it from the app? I tried to search for it and came up empty.Yep. CT370. Thing works wonders with my iPhone too from far away.
It's been so long since I had a 5.1 speaker set for PC I forgot it was separate plugs for each pair of channels. Guess I'll run it in a 2.1 configuration then and see how it goes.Well if you use those as TV speakers, you may need to adapt them a little bit if you want full 5.1 sound as they only have the three 3.5mm jacks.

Nope just a generic ass description with no picture.Did they already pull it from the app? I tried to search for it and came up empty.
It was worth it, they've gone up in price since the availability dried up. I regret getting the red ones over those now.Found a 20th Anniversary PS4 Controller in clearance the other day at my Target. It was only knocked off $7, but I still felt like it was worth picking up. Couldn't find it listed on their site anymore, so it would obviously be YMMV.
Damn that sucks. It should have been cheaper. I got one for $54.98 this afternoon.Was able to track down one of those 4 TB Seagate externals today for $70 after tax and discount.
I've had mine for about a year hooked up to my Xbox One and have had no problems. 46 miles is a lot for something that may or may not be in stock.Considering getting the Seagate 4tb expansion drive. Anyone have experience with it? I've always been a WD guy. If I go for it, the only store that has it in stock is 46mi away from me, so I would lose a little bit of the value in time/gas too.
I would agree with you if I blindly drove there. I called ahead and confirmed they have it, a rep put it on hold for me.I've had mine for about a year hooked up to my Xbox One and have had no problems. 46 miles is a lot for something that may or may not be in stock.
For $25, it's practically disposable.That 500 is a terrible price at anything sorry of 70%.
I posted this previously regarding the My Cloud 2TB.A couple updated prices and some new clearance. Question. Can the Seagate Personal Cloud be used as a Harddrive for Xbox One?
Seagate Personal Cloud 3TB External Hard Drive - Black
056-02-0128
$139.99
$47.98
It's still a poor price per GB at 50% off.For $25, it's practically disposable.
Always call first. In-stock totals are usually off, especially for this kind of stuff.Considering getting the Seagate 4tb expansion drive. Anyone have experience with it? I've always been a WD guy.

I've had that exact drive hooked up since last August and it works great with the Xbox One.Considering getting the Seagate 4tb expansion drive. Anyone have experience with it?

New Seagate drives are just as good as WD.I would not trust any of the Seagate drives. I was warned by CAGs and learned my lesson when the drive I had been using for my XB1 died a few weeks ago. Yea, the saves are all stored in the cloud, but re installing and downloading updates all over again is not fun.
did those have a specific dpciFound a 20th Anniversary PS4 Controller in clearance the other day at my Target. It was only knocked off $7, but I still felt like it was worth picking up. Couldn't find it listed on their site anymore, so it would obviously be YMMV.
Yes true all fail but I work in IT for a large corporation and Seagates have a much higher failure rate than WD's. I'd say it's a 4 to 1 ratio in my experience. The only brand worse is Hitachi and HGST.New Seagate drives are just as good as WD.
All HDD can fail. I think the main issue with seagates spinning too fast and dying was fixed.
Hence my statement of the newer after2014 models are just as good. Previously Seagate had much higher failure rate.Yes true all fail but I work in IT for a large corporation and Seagates have a much higher failure rate than WD's.

I've been using them with my TV since yesterday. Can't speak about the virtual surround since they're all bunched together but working well otherwise. If the TV has a 3.5 mm output or an output that can be converted to 3.5 mm they should work just fine.Anyone have any luck with attaching those speakers to a tv?
Target near me supposedly has 1 in stock and may drop by after work to check.
We've got 2 Sony Bravia tvs. One from 08 and other from 14. I've got one soundbar already but would buy these to use on older tv if they can work.
