PS3 Headset Confirmed For America
By Pete Haas: 2008-09-04 12:13:06
You may have heard the news about a PS3 Bluetooth headset being released in Japan. Sony has revealed that we'll be getting that little gadget here in the States in the Fall and it'll be bundled with an upcoming game.
Anand Agarwal, Product Manager for PlayStation Peripherals, gave a run-down on the headset on Playstation.Blog on Wednesday. The Bluetooth headset will cost $50 by itself but for $60 you can buy the headset and tactical military shooter SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation. Confrontation is due on stores on October 14th; it's not immediately clear if the standalone headset will be available by then but the bundle is by far the better deal if you have even the slightest interest in shooters. I mean you're essentially getting the game for 10 bucks with that bundle. Or you're getting the game for sixty bucks and the bluetooth for free - either way you look at it, it's a pretty good deal. The headset will work with Bluetooth-capable cell phones but it has a lot of features specific to the PS3. These features will be enabled by a PS3 firmware update in the Fall. Your headset's connection status, battery level, mute status, and volume will be displayed on screen while you play PS3 games. You'll be able to use the headset to issue voice commands to A.I. teammates in SOCOM and your character will mimic you as you speak. When the headset is low on power, or you just don't feel like wearing it, plugging it into the USB cradle charger will allow it to function like a desktop microphone. Agarwal mentions in passing that the "Voice Command" and "Voice Animation" features will be available on "select" PS3 games but only Confrontation is mentioned in this announcement. Given how cheap the headset is with the bundle, though, it's not like you've wasted much money if Confrontation is the only game you end up using it with.
