RUMOR: SOCOM: Confrontation bundle, Sony headset?

Posted on March 11th, 2008 at 14:51 EDT

According to GangstaKiller26 from our very own PS3Forums, SOCOM: Confrontation will be coming bundled with an official Sony branded bluetooth headset.  Right now, this is just speculation and nothing has been confirmed 100%.  Fortunately, this does seem legit considering the demand for a first party headset has been growing within the last couple of months as gamers grow displeased with the Madcatz product currently offered.

We've included a list of specifications expected for the headset itself below.

Description
Provides High-fidelity audio input to PS3
Supports “voice command” in certain PS3 games
Easy pairing through USB connection with PS3
Comes with docking station for easy charging
Compatible with cellphones

Target
Consumers who want to communicate while in-game

Price
Standalone – $49.99 MSRP; SOCOM: Confrontation bundle - $59.99 MSRP

Launch
July/August

If this rumor pans out to be true, it would give gamers a nice bundle opportunity for those who prefer to have a hard copy of the game instead of just downloading it from the PlayStation Network.  If more information is released about the product, including a confirmation, we'll keep you up to date on it.

I would sell my existing bluetooth and buy this one instead, it looks nice =)

This one looks very slick, but I'm pretty satisfied with my Jabra. I guess I'll see how much SOCOM is going to cost and I'll weight it out if it'll beworth the extra cash to have a sweet lookin headset.

If this is true then I'm in. The headset quality on PS3 is nowhere near as good as the 360, although you could argue it becouse its wired as opposed to wireless. If this can match the 360 headset in quality then I'm definitely in.

Well, this article along with the possibility of a new Killzone 2 trailer is all pure speculation. I'm not a big fan of rumors, but I guess it's better than no news at all. I've played the demo of Socom when it was on the PS2, and I didn't really like it that much. I'm thinking that this game may be just a Online/Multiplayer game only just like Warhawk, but if this game has a campaign, I might buy it and give Socom another chance.

Too late. I already have the jabra which sucks and also bought a Jawbone which is awesome.

posted 7:06pm EDT - March 11th, 2008

Hopefully it will be a little more comfortable the then Jabra that came with Warhawk. I mean it is a good one but when playing for a few hours OH MAN does my ear hurt. Is there something that I could get for it like an adapter to make it fit in my ear better??

Wow, this is innovative. Hopefully good, but i guess we'll c.

even though i already have the jabra headset from warhawk i would like to have this one because it looks nice, i never played socom but heard they are good so i will pick this up when it realeases.
