    Oh I forgot…thanks for your good video bro…excellent quality…and explanation..,thanks a lot….

    I just order the Astro 40 BXP red …after research for a week…and compare all the others brand like Triton, Turtle Beach and more…this are the best wireless on the market…so let’s kick a….out there in MW3…

  4. @PULZYV1 Ok, well I bought the PX5′s :) I can get them for £139.99 vs £240 for the A40′s so thats quite a difference, but the wireless bit for the A40′s bit is the killer for me, I would just regret buying them because of the one wire… sad but true for me I think.

  5. @swiftlegend They are just really poor build quality. If your using purely for surround sound then get PX5′s, the soundstage is far bigger and more precise. If you want slightly better quality get the A40s. I have both but am selling px5′s because they have become to loose and i refuse to buy again from a company that is rude to their customers and don’t honour their warrenty.

  6. u r a good reviewer

  7. 0:59 Thats what she said

  8. @PULZYV1 do you not like your PX5′s, i’m about to buy a pair over the A40s cause they are truly wireless.

  9. @antster360
    It’s call the 5.8 (Ghz) for a reason chief.

  10. 26 people own turtle beaches

  11. You said A40′s blow PX5′s out of the water. I’m taking your word for it, selling my PX5′s and buying A40′s. I hope your right!

  12. the bass is crap mate it drowns out everything the highs and mids are crap the bass boost dnt make much difference at all but i must say for music there quality i had this set day b4 yesterday and im back using my x41 explain that ! phoned astro uk they said if it works good with music it should be fine wiv gaming if this is what there selling for 250 its a rip off 80 for x41 and there quality

  13. but will it blend?

  14. Just ordered mine!

  15. I dont really care about the wireless part its more about will it interfere with my 2.4Ghz router just a last thought before i make my mind up

    @OninomeShikyo samurai jack latino cousin

  29. Stop with the call of duty already those games are SHIT and the only people who mention it are those who are too young to play it.

  30. @OninomeShikyo yeah mexican ver. lol

  31. @MaicoMoon Oh, so THAT’s why they fired Jeff Gerstmann at Gamespot because he gave an honest opinion about Kane and Lynch but the publisher didn’t like them giving 6 out 10 to a game they paid them to advertise. Which, in turn, caused 5 other Gamespot editors to leave the company and admitted Gamespot “takes bribes”, and formed the site Giantbomb with Jeff.

  32. @Samoutuomas Because IGN reviews suck shit, usually some dumbass trying to bash a game and fail at being witty, GameSpot reviewers do a better job at objectively reviewing whether a game is worth the money or not.

  33. @cruz14ful COD is gay

  34. @TheDeviantSpy actually the video reviews are only a quick view to the game, if you want to see a full review by ign just click the link that is in the top of the screen in every video review

  35. how long is this game how many lvls

  36. At least gamespot isn’t like ign and reviews the game for 1:50 really are you that lazy ign

  37. NOt only do the idiots comments below get the reviewers company name wrong…
    but they also say “there IS 2players”
    well HE DID say there WAS 2 player mode fools… but its a different campaign and ITS ONLY LOCAL CO-OP not ONLINE co-op… so it has to be sofa friend not your CoD mates etc.
    Unless after they released it and after this review then they did an update like what they did with LaraCroft GuardianOfLight to make it proper Co-op

  38. the game is absolutely incredible, but theres one huge problem. WHY DIDNT THEY MAKE SHANK 2?! xD

  39. yes gamespot reviewer, it is simple, that’s why it’s so fucking awsome, this game is an island in the sea of over the top, meaningless complicated games for whom you need a computer that NASA uses to run them properly, it takes you back to the time when games were FUN and didn’t took your life away

    SHANK 10/10,

  40. does this have tropys??

  41. this game IS INCREDIBLE!!!!

  42. This game is gay As shit

  43. lol @ the end
    the game went from Shank to Spank

  44. @ANIMEman0519 it iss.. for two…PLYAYERZZ

  45. @bryoneill11 it is 2 players..

  46. @bryoneill11 it’s for two players also

  47. @OninomeShikyo i said the exact same thing when i first saw him

  48. Should be for 2 players like double dragon and contra

  49. The reviewer can go suck a dick. Just sayin.
