Official PlayStation 3 Bluetooth Headset Announced [UPDATE]

06/27/2008 Written by Anthony Severino

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!

    @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.

  8. sev1512 Says:

    Wow $80? That is pricing itself our of the market.

  9. Chris Rah Osiris Says:

    I doubt they could get away with $80. $65-70 maybe

  10. claass21 Says:

    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

  13. Xbot Says:

    Im loving the PS logo.

    Do want.

    w00t at claas

  15. OldBloodAndGuts Says:

    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.

  16. graphixmaster Says:

    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.

  17. DevonTheDude Says:

    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]
