    The Steelseries failure cost me a further 60 dollars today, to ship back to the UK. They sure as hell better find the bloody fault and refund that !@#$.
    The replacement turns up tomorrowish I hope, an Audio Technica ATH AG1.

    So remember when I brought that Steelseries thingy? It's already !@#$@#$ broken. Turns out Steelseries make their components out of !@#$, so the right earmuff doesn't deliver any sound any more. I'd simply get it replaced, but it's not particularly comfortable for extended wearing sessions. So I'm gonna try and get a refund.
    The frontrunner now for replacing it is the Audio-Technica ATH-AG1, and I'm honestly not sure what else I'd actually get in its place.

    Seeking headset advice.

    By Avakael,

    Probably a long shot, but I'm stick of my crappy logitech made for skype headset and I want to upgrade to something more appropriate to the things that I like to do (listen to music and play various computer games). I'm aiming for higher end sets. I'm also aiming for something that comes with it's own external sound card or DAC, because I don't trust the quality of whatever passes for a sound card in my laptop. Finally, I'd prefer closed back; while I would like to be able to hear things around me, I'd rather not have my music/gaming keeping people awake late at night.
    My first preference was the Sennheiser PC 363D, but this is now going to be unavailable in Australia til the end of March.
    I have been already warned away from the Astro A40s and A50s because they have poor quality for actually listening to music.
    My current best guess is an Audio-Technica ATH-AG1, but it appears they have only been released in Australia at this time. In the off chance that anyone here has any experience with them, would they mind sharing their experiences with me? Cheers.

    First codex I brought, back in 2005. Eldar, 3rd edition, goes with the Warhammer 40k 4th edition rules.
    Still got the pricetag on the book (need to take a photograph).
    Price. 28 dollars.
    New Eldar codex released todayish, 2013. Eldar, 5th edition, goes with the Warhammer 40k 6th edition rules.

    Price. 83 dollars.
    In stark contrast, from the leading competitor,
    Current War Machine Core Rulebook, Australian online store.
    http://defiantgaming.com/shop/index.php?_a=product&product_id=1648
    Price. 27 dollars.
    I am watching Warhammer clubs, still advertised in the White Dwarf, convert wholesale to playing War Machine. I wonder how long Games Workshop will actually last from here on out, because the prices don't stop going up, Privateer Press hasn't raised prices in living memory, the Australian dollar is starting to deflate against the US dollar (dropping 10 cents since April), and people are starting to catch on to the fact that the Privateer Press game rules are far more fun.
