Rumor: SOCOM Confrontation bundle includes new Bluetooth headset

A supposedly leaked PowerPoint presentation revealed a new official Bluetooth headset for PS3. Set to lunch in July/August, the headset would retail for 50$ individually. More exciting, however, is SOCOM Confrontation bundle that's mentioned: both the game and headset would hit retail for 60$.

LMAO at Sony mocking the abomination that is the RROD.

Jandre026558d ago

Haha come on thats funny. I wonder if it gets three rings when the battery is dying.

decapitator6558d ago

Is not a rumor. It is real. From what I know, PS3 owners have been wanting something like this for a while and so Sony listened. Stand alone will be about $39.99 and about $69.99 with the game.

sonarus6558d ago

lol i dunno about 70 bucks. I already have a blue tooth headset

mintaro6558d ago

i think 70 is the same price i got for the original socom, also came with a headset

timmyp536558d ago

much like the warhawk retail version which included a mic. But they never sold the mic separately so maybe that is the official PS3 mic? Kindah expensive though eh?

Mr_Kuwabara6558d ago

Yeah usually anything with the Sony brand (Same goes with Nintendo and Microsoft) will be a little bit more expensive than that from other companies like Pelican, Logitech etc etc...

HighDefinition6558d ago

I`m pretty sure it`s only suppose to be $29.99 of PSN.

Didn`t they say that a while back?

sonarus6558d ago

well if its 60 then its considerable but i think i would still rather download this on my hard drive. Unless you can install it on the hard drive through the disc and not have to play it with the cd in it. The convenience of having games on your hard drive and not have to get up to change cd's is totally worth it. Regardless the headset looks really nice. Hopefully i can buy the headset solo at some point

Panthers6558d ago

Im pretty sure they are going to follow Warhawks pricing plan. $40 DL and $60 bundled.

MikeGdaGod6558d ago

i'd rather dl it so i don't have to switch disks. remember guys this will be important in Home! (game launching)

i like that headset though. i already have two but i might get it anyway.

lol thats a pretty sweet lookin headset. Might get the retail version just for the headset. If not i would be more than satisfied with a hard drive download

mighty_douche6558d ago

but there's a little new information in the article. So i guess not a duplicate.

I hope that's the finalised design for the Headset, because i don't know about you guy's but i think it look's very stylish!

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

chicken_in_the_corn9h ago

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac9h ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope
