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.

Jandre026660d ago

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

decapitator6660d 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.

sonarus6660d ago

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

mintaro6660d ago

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

timmyp536660d 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_Kuwabara6660d 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...

HighDefinition6660d ago

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

Didn`t they say that a while back?

sonarus6660d 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

Panthers6659d ago

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

MikeGdaGod6659d 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.

sonarus6660d ago

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_douche6660d 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!

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle37d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde44d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy44d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7745d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga45d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199245d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga44d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman44d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger45d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box45d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion44d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7245d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7545d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit45d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14945d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7745d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
