Microsoft not so Sharp

My headset broke yesterday, I was told I would get a new one in 2 to3 weeks!!! Knowing that I couldn’t wait that long I decided to begin trying other methods while I wait. My first idea was to follow the ideas of some modders who have fitted female adapters to their headsets to allow them to use old Xbox headsets. However this wasn’t an option as I wasn’t sure where my microphone had been damaged.
 
That was when I took out my SharpGX10 to see the input on the side of it was somewhat like that of the xbox360s controller. So I went searching for the Hands free kit, after finding it I plugged it straight into my 360's wireless controller and was immediately greeted with the shouting of young, high pitched, pre adolescent Americans. Their screams despite making me cringe with pain awoke a sense of relief that I wasn’t going to wait 3weeks to tell them to shut up.

I think this should help many people who want another headset but aren’t going to spend money on one, maybe some of you know about this but I couldn’t find it on any other websites when looking for resolutions for my problem. So I hope this at least helps someone.

You could use any cellphone headset in the old xbox controller

This isnt news, ive known this for months, and have taken apart my headset to make my own work.

Any hands-free works, not only sharps'.

This isnt news. Take this story down. Most handsfree headsets work with xbox and xbox360. Its common knowledge in the community. Where was the story trying to make MS look stupid 5 years ago?

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?
