Rumor: SOCOM Confrontation bundle includes new Bluetooth headset
The design of this rumored headset is an improvement over the one offered with Warhawk. However, don't get your hopes up quite yet. When asked for comment, a SCEA representative told us that "we have currently made no announcements for a new PS3 headset so any information is speculation and rumor."

they need to make an official PS3 headset.if they did that i think alot more people would buy them because they know for 100% that they will work with the PS3 unlike some bluetooth headsets. i might pick up this bundle if its true though
Haiddasalami @ Mar 11th 2008 11:15AM
I want that headset even though I have the warhawk one.
Syn @ Mar 11th 2008 11:54AM
I'll pick the bundle up. Nothing like 2 BlueTooth headsets... even though my wife will steal the Jabra for her cellphone...
Organic_Shadow @ Mar 11th 2008 11:54AM
Me also! My jabra that came with warhawk disappeared, and the Plantronics I just got a few weeks ago is okay, but I would gladly buy retail SOCOM for this headset. But at the same time, I kinda want the game to be on my hard drive instead of having to swap out discs.
Can't be joggin', flippin' discs, and drinkin' mah sip!

Same here.
Dahk @ Mar 11th 2008 1:00PM
HAWT. Same here.

Id much rather a Jawbone, but its still too expensive. This seems like a great deal. Ill be picking it up for sure now, just wish I could load it on the HDD, disk swapping is lame.

Sony never confirms Playstation rumors.
Dan Davis @ Mar 11th 2008 11:20AM
No kidding... even though they turn out to be true 95% of the time (rumble, price cuts, DLC, etc)
Mein Bratwurst @ Mar 11th 2008 2:15PM
I was thinking the same thing. I'm chalking this one up as "most likely true".
brettjr @ Mar 11th 2008 11:20AM
If this comes with Socom, I'll buy Socom just for the headset deal
Chris Rah Osiris @ Mar 11th 2008 11:29AM
If it does indeed come with that headset, I will be buying the retail version of this game
sibbor @ Mar 11th 2008 11:49AM
I've got a nice working Plantronics Explorer 330 for my PS3, but this one is reeeally sexy. *DROOLING ALL OVER THE PLACE*
I will for sure buy this BT-headset if it turns out to be true. I like Sony's design; of both the PS3 itself, and the BT-headset ;)
poprocker @ Mar 11th 2008 11:49AM
Seth Luisi has always said they planned to do a headset bundle when confrontation comes out so i'm positive this rumor will hold true. I'm so stoked over the July/August release date!!!!!
Haiddasalami @ Mar 11th 2008 12:21PM
Hopefully august so doesnt get crushed by MGS which is coming out on July 25th i believe
aaron_k7 @ Mar 11th 2008 11:59AM
Has anyone else had problems talking using the PS3 Eye while playing Warhawk?

Average PaintShop Pro job.

MSG4 is confirmed for a June 12th release.
Haiddasalami @ Mar 11th 2008 1:01PM
Thanks...
whoelse @ Mar 11th 2008 12:52PM
I think a lot of people will buy this even if they have a headset already. This headset should have been around when the PS3 launched, and included with Warhawk.
frankym @ Mar 11th 2008 1:08PM
This bad boy will also be perfect to play ENDWAR which utilizes voice commands.
MCX @ Mar 11th 2008 1:19PM
The reason this one looks awesome is cause it looks like it has a recharge stand. Thats one thing I hate about my Motorola its never charged up to play. If it came with a USB charge it would be perfect.
kevin @ Mar 11th 2008 2:00PM
that bluetooth is sexy and whats the i heart socom on the hdd? wtf! is this gonna be another warhawk? god damn it :(
Michael K. @ Mar 11th 2008 4:23PM
that conspicuously looks like the iphone headset...
kentuckyfried @ Mar 11th 2008 5:06PM
I'm surprised Confrontation's hype machine hasn't started going into full gear...its release date isn't that far off from MGS'
Kalil @ Mar 11th 2008 6:46PM
i would buy it
n it look good i might use it with my cell
Brent98 @ Mar 11th 2008 6:47PM
I was on the fence about getting SOCOM, but if it comes with a headset, I will probably get one. My current headset stinks, the mic picks up every little noise, and voices sound garbled. One of the few good things I have to say about my 360 is that even the mic it comes with is decent.
alienclays @ Mar 11th 2008 7:11PM
now all sony needs to do is release a resonably priced HDD upgrade kit (120gb and 250gb). to further undercut the 360 elete and provide for consumers who don't know, or are too scared to upgrade themselves.
njd82 @ Mar 12th 2008 9:47AM
Hopefully sony monitor these comments from time to time because i completely agreee....I own the Jabra headset that cme with warhawk but I would still buy this.
