Rumor: SOCOM Confrontation bundle includes new Bluetooth headset

A supposedly leaked PowerPoint presentation revealed a new official Bluetooth headset for PS3. Set to lunch in July/August, the headset would retail for 50$ individually. More exciting, however, is SOCOM Confrontation bundle that's mentioned: both the game and headset would hit retail for 60$.

LMAO at Sony mocking the abomination that is the RROD.

Jandre025903d ago

Haha come on thats funny. I wonder if it gets three rings when the battery is dying.

decapitator5903d ago

Is not a rumor. It is real. From what I know, PS3 owners have been wanting something like this for a while and so Sony listened. Stand alone will be about $39.99 and about $69.99 with the game.

sonarus5903d ago

lol i dunno about 70 bucks. I already have a blue tooth headset

mintaro5903d ago

i think 70 is the same price i got for the original socom, also came with a headset

timmyp535903d ago

much like the warhawk retail version which included a mic. But they never sold the mic separately so maybe that is the official PS3 mic? Kindah expensive though eh?

Mr_Kuwabara5903d ago

Yeah usually anything with the Sony brand (Same goes with Nintendo and Microsoft) will be a little bit more expensive than that from other companies like Pelican, Logitech etc etc...

HighDefinition5903d ago

I`m pretty sure it`s only suppose to be $29.99 of PSN.

Didn`t they say that a while back?

sonarus5903d ago

well if its 60 then its considerable but i think i would still rather download this on my hard drive. Unless you can install it on the hard drive through the disc and not have to play it with the cd in it. The convenience of having games on your hard drive and not have to get up to change cd's is totally worth it. Regardless the headset looks really nice. Hopefully i can buy the headset solo at some point

Panthers5903d ago

Im pretty sure they are going to follow Warhawks pricing plan. $40 DL and $60 bundled.

MikeGdaGod5903d ago

i'd rather dl it so i don't have to switch disks. remember guys this will be important in Home! (game launching)

i like that headset though. i already have two but i might get it anyway.

lol thats a pretty sweet lookin headset. Might get the retail version just for the headset. If not i would be more than satisfied with a hard drive download

mighty_douche5903d ago

but there's a little new information in the article. So i guess not a duplicate.

I hope that's the finalised design for the Headset, because i don't know about you guy's but i think it look's very stylish!

The Games Industry Continues To Wonder What Is The Point Of Its Own Existence

While many gaming layoffs are cruel, Tango Gameworks being culled after Hi-Fi Rush doesn't even make sense.

Good read. I think the point is important. Cuz the message it sends is, make a bad game? Well shut you down. Make a good game? We still might shut you down. How the fuck are you supposed to feel any sense of job security under those conditions. The level of core incompetence at play in the upper levels of this industry is staggering. This is common sense shit. You can’t chase trends on a 2 year cycle when games take fucking 6-8 years to make. Just let artists fucking art for gods sake. They don’t understand the basic principle that they’re all haggling for the same slice of fucking pie and the market will not bear it. Find a different fucking pie.

TiredGamer2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Might be a great game but it clearly did not make enough money to justify having the team make another game (under the MS umbrella).

It's never been just about whether your game is good or bad. The industry is full of great/underrated games that have a cult following or critical acclaim, but that fail to make great sales. Sad but true. It's a high stakes game, and at the end of the day, companies have to be profitable and make profitable investments. At the very least, there has to be the expectation of a long-term profit even if not profitable today. That goes for anything, no matter if the company is gigantic or a tiny mom-and-pop. We don't have to like it, but our buying habits played a hand in creating this monster.

I will keep harping that the industry has overreached its actual market and that it will implode. That implosion is already starting.
