Officical PS3 Headset, Little Bit Cheaper [SOCOM]

Here’s a nice thing I saw today while pre-ordering the Collector’s Edition of Resistance 2. Amazon.com is selling the SOCOM: Confrontation Bundle that comes with new, official, PS3 bluetooth headset for a little bit less than $59.99, $56.99! That doesn’t seem like that much a savings, but look at it this way. The headset alone is $49.99. From any other place, at the moment, you pay $10.00 more, and you get a whole game (that, alone, costs $39.99), but at Amazon, you’ll only be paying $7.00  more for the same game!

Playing the beta, I think that SOCOM will probably be an interesting diversion from the tons of other games coming out this holiday. It’s a bit slower paced for a shooter, but the real difference is that the people who play it are quite serious which really ups the chances for getting in a truly team orientated experience. So rare in a lot of online shooters.

The real star for me is the headset though. I need a mute button. A lot of games use open chat, instead of push to talk, and I hate to be that guy who’s having a loud conversation with someone else during a game. There’s other stuff too, see below.

When was the last time you ever saw a trailer for a headset. Pretty cool though, huh? Wonder why the trailer is rated M (for Mature).
