Good Concept, Bad App Execution
When this plug was working as advertised, it was good - it does what it's supposed to. However, the app started to experiencing issues and I've now uninstalled the app... which is how you'd control the plug - therefore making this plug fairly useless.

Phenomenal TV
Aside from the crisp graphics and decent sound from the TV speakers, the smart home integration, A/V integration, and user interface makes watching TV into a more integrated and seamless experience.
1. Excellent streaming service integration and presentation: This TV presents the streaming apps into a guide starting at channel 1000 and shows you what's currently playing and what's coming upl.
2. A/V integration: When you plug in the HDMI cable connecting to an A/V device like a cable box, DVD player, Xbox... It'll automatically detect what it is and start a quick setup. I can now use the Samsung remote to control my Fios cable box, sound bar, and DVD player.
3. Smart home Integration: aside from being able to use Google Home and Alexa to control this TV, you can also add Smart Things app and see/control other devices from your TV. When my Samsung vacuum pushes a notification, I can see it on my TV. When someone is approaching my front door, I can bring up the streaming from Ring door bell on the TV.

XBOX 360
I own an original XBOX and play it about 3 times a year so I had no desire to purchase another console system. Having said that, that's the main reason why I took a chance on eBay.
I purchased the Xbox 360 solely because of the game "Rock Band". Being a passive musician versed in guitar, bass, drum, keyboard and vocals (I was a lead singer in a few garage bands in high school and still enjoy bellowing out a few tunes from time to time) I was attracted to the dynamics of "Rock Band". Although, I must say, "Guitar Hero II and III" planted the seed for the purchasing of a XBOX 360.
The graphic aspect of the 360 is much better than the original XBOX - even on a non-HD TV. I noticed the controller is smaller than its predecessor and love the convenience of the wireless connectivity.
When I first received my refurbished unit I had some trouble with the XBOx freezing every 5 minutes or so. After being frustrated I decided to connect the console to XBOX Live to see if there was an update I can apply to rectify the problem - and there was! Right after the XBOX connected to XBOX Live I received a message asking me if I would like to apply an update. Of course, I agreed and downloaded the patch. Ever since then the XBOX has given me very little grief. It still freezes from time to time but nothing like it was before.
I would definitely recommend this console to anyone who wants an all-around great value/ performance system.
