    Would have been amazing if they would have gotten Nolan North to do voice overs to make this a special item for all the fans out there, because admit it, only fans of destiny are going to know what this is and buy it. It just wouldn't sound right to have a ghost with a voice other than Nolan North.

    This is slick. Order placed. It will fit in nicely with my current Alexa setup. Thanks you have made my day. :)

    I use Siri. How is it different?
    Curiosity: what benefits do you find to using her?

    I've tried to use the assistant on my new MotoZ, but it just seems..  I dunno.  Seems easier for me to just load up an app or chrome and type the search in.

    Alexa is a social justice warrior and is constantly on collecting info continuously.  Meanwhile it does nothing that I can't do myself.  Sometimes technology goes too far, and this is it

    I use Alexa to play music throughout the house, control lights, set timers, add to lists, stream youtube videos. It's pretty handy and should continue to expand.

    This is so cool! I can see personal assistants in the future coming with your customized voice actor as an option.



    How much for Mr. T?
    I can just imagine starting to ramble on a question and hearing Alexa interrupt with "Quit yo jibba jabba, fool!"

    Love to hear Mr T, or Ghost on Waze GPS App. "I pity the FOOL who doesn't turn left at the next light!"
    It was great when they had C-P30's voice on it.
