Sony Not Creating a First Party Headset Yet

It seems people will have to wait that extra bit longer, if you already haven't got one, for a Sony-made headset for the Playstation 3

its a shame as i would like a first party headset, at least you know it will be decent and work straight out the box

Relin6567d ago

Sony chose to use Bluetooth for chat, and to get a good headset with that tech, you need to spend a little cash. A cheapy USB headset wouldn't cut it for me.

Jawbone^^, slightly pricey (ebay?) but second to none on sound/mic quality.

kevoncox6567d ago

This is one reason why sony;s PSN fails to be a community. The fact that it lacks a standard communication device needs to be addressed. People don't by random headsets for their ps3 or they don't know how to use a head set. Sony you need to fix this quick.

Additionally, lets get:
Demos and DLC on time. No more after the 360 has it and with way less content. It's to "most advanced console" so it should have all of the content the 360 gets. Where are my demos.

okcomputer6567d ago

@1.3

I agree with the headset thing, and your point about the community is true also. If sony really wants home to work, they're going to have to do something about the headsets. They should have just packed a cheap one in the box like the 360 did, but now its too late. the only solution would be more games like warhawk that include a headset. Giving them out with resistance 2 would be a great idea, since its the ps3's biggest/best online franchise.

jwatt6567d ago

Kevon I totally agree with you and I think Sony needs to really make a headset bundled with the ps3 because people are not going out and buying headsets. Having headsets bundled with Warhawk and Socom is great but is not going to cut it.

BISHOP-BRASIL6567d ago

Bundling a USB headset would be the "solution" (if there was a problem to star with, as far as I remember, PS3 is compatible with almost all headset out there). It's cheaper and has some quality guaranteed, since you'll not suffer anyway with transmission issues or interference.

kevoncox6567d ago

Te problem is no one uses headsets online. I love tactical games but i chose the 360 version of COD4 over the ps4 version because of the lack of mics.

Nostradamus6566d ago

He was playing online against another guy I know, and when the game started, his phone rang, he put it on speakerphone, and started playing.

Then I realized, the guy on the phone was the one playing! Thats how they communicated on the PS3, with a cell phone!!

I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.

Since it is blue tooth, there are so many good options out there already, no need for a Sony one really.

Tempist6567d ago

Yeah why do you need a re-branded bluethooth headset just for your PS3?

I'm sure many of you didn't run out and buy a Sony TV to go with your PS3. It's a smarter move to just use what the market has already developed instead of flooding it with something untested just because it has your brand on it.

PoSTedUP6567d ago

i dont even use up the 6 hrs talk i got on mine, but it would be nice to have a like 20 hrs talk reliable sony one, for like 60$

PirateThom6567d ago

If it was anything like Sony's HDMI cable, it would be needlessly expensive.

dark loard6567d ago

hi any one know if the mgs4 one is any good

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.

solideagle28d 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.

DarXyde35d 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.

Soy35d 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.

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

Cacabunga36d ago

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

S2Killinit36d ago (Edited 36d 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.

neutralgamer199236d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga36d 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

1nsomniac36d ago (Edited 36d 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.

medman35d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger36d 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_Box36d 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.

robtion35d 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.

darthv7236d 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.

Agent7536d ago

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

S2Killinit36d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14936d ago

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

Lightning7736d 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.
