beware the Pulse Elite Edition. I've been through 2 pair of those. The sound quality is great but there's a serious design flaw that causes them to break where the ear cups meets the headband rendering them pretty much useless

LackTrue4K3281d ago (Edited 3281d ago )

That same issue happen to me "did suck" but they still worked fine, you just see that small nasty crack there...but that's about it.

Hope Sony makes new models.

Roman3mPiRe863281d ago

I have 2 pairs one for the wife and the other for me. Both cracked BUT I got epoxy glue and BAM! Stronger then ever! Love the sound. I have yet to find another headset that can compare in sound quality.

Reaper29r3281d ago

Thanks for the heads up. I have the white gold headphones, didn't know there was an elite model. Was considering ordering a pair until I saw this. If they have such a major design flaw, I'm gonna just stick my gold ones. Which are awesome except the short battery life.

shay1593281d ago

The Gold has a similar design flaw.
Had a pair that cracked at the joint, and it's...wel...it's beyond saving.
Silver is very durable, though.

Bass impact on mine stopped working, sent it in for service and it wasn't fixed when I got it back, and I was about to send it back in and complain about the service but my dog chewed on the dongle. -__-

Pro's:
Bass impact: More headsets need this! Dead space + BI = WOW!
Surround
Wireless (Nice and practical)
Sound quality is okay.

Cons:
White noise. (a problem with a lot of wireless headsets)
Also a bit questionable quality, but I liked mine as long as it lasted.

I've had the golds for about 7 months and love them. Only bad thing I can say about them is the battery life isn't super great...about 5-6 hours. If that's a problem for you it's worth getting the silvers.

KryptoniteTail3281d ago

They should call those "Platinum" not "Elite."

Anyway, can anybody confirm if the Gold work with PS TV for Party Chat app?

ShellB3281d ago

I have the pulse elite and in my honest opinion I don't recommend them. Buy some Audio Technicas or Sennheiser headphones.

RevXM3281d ago

I hear a lot of people have problems with them.
They are crap quality wise, but I really loved the bass impact though, it was a neat gimmick that I really liked. Playing Dead space with Bass Impact on was badass.

However I have moved on to studio headsets, got the ATH m50x.
Not sure I can ever go back to gaming headsets. They sound awesome and it didn't crap out on me within the first two weeks like the pulse did. (Had mine since november/december)

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6954m ago(Edited 54m ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos7h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto6h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger886h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
