The Official PS3 Bluetooth Headset will come bundled with the retail copy of SOCOM: Confrontation. Word is that it will eventually be released separately. From what we have seen, it looks very sexy and should be on the wishlists of many PlayStation 3 owners. Prices and release dates have not yet been revealed. It also comes with a stand which you can use to charge it via a USB connection.
[Update] Thanks to PlayStation LifeStyle member Claass21 for tipping us off to the price and release date of the SOCOM/Headset Bundle…
Price – $59.99
Release Date – 9/16/2008
You can buy the game without the headset for just $39.99 which makes the bundle great value.

This looks awesome…wonder how much the price tag will be.
I am assuming since it will be bundled with SOCOM, that the bundle will cost $60.
SOCOM PSN version will most likely follow GT5:P and Warhawk and cost $39.99 at release.
So I would assume that the headset will cost around $29.99 when its finally sold separately…
Lets just hope this one works well, since the MGS4 headset has been said to suck.
I will probably get the blu-ray Socom with the headset. I already have 2 headsets, but one is broke and I could use my one now with my phone then. Hopefully it is good!

Heard the quality is teh suck
I’m getting the Socom Bundle for sure now. That thing looks great
@Sev
I heard mixed reviews about the MGS4 headset. Some said it was good, but others said it was bad. I head more saying it was bad though. It does look pretty cool though.
btw, Joystiq is reporting that the SOCOM bundle will cost $80 but are saying that is a rumor.

Sexy!! Clean and sleek. Me likey.
Wow $80? That is pricing itself our of the market.
I doubt they could get away with $80. $65-70 maybe
I thought I heard $60 somewhere but maybe Im getting it confused with my assumptions.

This looks awesome, but sadly I allready have an ugly one that cost to much. Gonna continue using that one:p
Im loving the PS logo.
Do want.
w00t at claas
I like the headset, but I’m not sure I want to buy it with SOCOM. Hopefully the price won’t jump too much when it becomes available separately.
Loving the look and style. One thing i hate about the one i have now is its got to have its own powercord plug into the wall. USB powered stand is awesome!!! I really hope the quality of the sound is good.
Heard about this 3 months ago, everyone thought it was BS then. Good to know I was right. In the Core video for Socom Con they mention an new headset to be packed in.
looks tight. I have an 80 gig Ps3 and no head-set yet. Maybe I’ll pick this one up. [clean design]
