Falcon Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Sony's slick-looking official PS3 Bluetooth headset will hit Japanese stores on October 30 alongside Socom: Confrontation. Advertisement: The PS-branded unit comes with a nice little dock that recharges its internal battery via USB, and will go for 5,000 Yen - that's around £25 - on its own. Sony will also bundle it with Socom for 8,000 Yen (£41). Sony says you'll need the latest firmware to make it work, and it'll allow you to natter away in new games like Resistance 2 and Motorstorm Pacific Rift. We're not sure if that means it won't work with older games, but we would have thought it'd be fully compatible. No UK release date was announced, but, as you may know, the PS3 will work with almost any mobile phone Bluetooth headset anyway, so no need to sit there in silence.

Somebody Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 25 British pounds = 1 987.41444 Indian rupees and thats not cheap either. So, even if i dont have a headset i'd rather buy a normal one coz i can use that with a phone too and not only for the ps3. correct me if i'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Official Bluetooth Headset for the PLAYSTATION 3 Hey everyone, I’m Anand Agarwal, Product Manager for PlayStation Peripherals. Two weeks ago, we informed you about the Wireless Keypad for PS3, and today we want to tell you more about the official Bluetooth Headset for PS3 that we unveiled during SOCOM Media day. This headset will be offered in one retail version of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation this October, as well as a standalone peripheral this fall. It features a prominent Mute button and a Charging Cradle. It will work with not only your PS3 but with Bluetooth enabled cell phones. But this is information that you already know about. Today we want to talk about some really cool features of this Headset that we have been working on behind the scenes. These features will be unlocked by the PS3 through a firmware update that is scheduled for this fall. -The headset will feature “High-Quality (HQ) mode” with PS3. In this mode, the headset will take advantage of advanced voice technologies and noise cancellation techniques to provide clear and wideband voice input to the PS3. The HQ mode will ensure a much better voice chat quality on the PS3. -HQ mode will also enable accurate speech recognition required to support or enhance ‘Voice Command’ and ‘Voice Animation’ features. Voice Command was originally used in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs for PS2 to administer the AI-controlled teammates using the WHO, WHAT, and WHERE format (example: Bravo, Attack, Nav Point Zulu). Voice Animation refers to the in-game character mimicking you during voice chat. With HQ mode, these features can be enabled on a much larger vocabulary in select PS3 games. -PS3 will display an in-game status indicator exclusively for this headset that will show the headset’s connection status, battery charge level, speaker volume level and microphone mute status. -Tired of wearing the headset during a long multiplayer gaming session or is your headset battery running out of charge? Just dock the headset in the supplied charging cradle, and the headset will work as a desktop microphone while charging. -Last but not least, the headset will automatically pair with the PS3 by connecting with a USB cable. SCEA was one of the first companies to popularize VoIP technology within a console videogame through SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs for PS2. As you can see, we have made a great effort to expand on this legacy and develop the most compelling headset for the PS3 community. We are really excited to bring it to market this fall with the SOCOM: Confrontation bundle ($59.99 MSRP) and as a standalone peripheral ($49.99 MSRP). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- it's better to buy the bundle than the stand-alone one don't u think ?

Somebody Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 See The PS3 Bluetooth Headset In Hot Moving Picture Action [gt]39809[/gt] Sure, we've seen plenty of pics of the PS3's bluetooth headset before, but they were lacking context! Scale! The thing could be as big as your finger, or it could be as big as your leg. Lucky we've got this trailer (and it's wonderfully cheesy corporate-metal soundtrack) to set us straight!

MarketTantrik Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 it's better to buy the bundle than the stand-alone one don't u think ? Provided the game is actually worth the extra US$10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harsahil Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Provided the game is actually worth the extra US$10. or in other words,could it be that bad to be unworthy of $10? :roflroll2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtheK Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 WTF PS3 did not have a Headset to talk on PSN like XBL. Unlike xbox where you have to only buy stuff thrown on your face by MS...PS3 supports any Bluetooth headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
