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.

Jandre026613d ago

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

decapitator6613d 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.

sonarus6613d ago

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

mintaro6613d ago

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

timmyp536613d 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_Kuwabara6613d 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...

HighDefinition6613d ago

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

Didn`t they say that a while back?

sonarus6613d 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

Panthers6612d ago

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

MikeGdaGod6612d 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_douche6613d 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 don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

Scissorman23h ago

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
