A supposedly leaked PowerPoint presentation revealed a new official Bluetooth headset for PS3. Set to launch 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.
The design of this rumored headset is an improvement over the one offered with Warhawk. However, don't get your hopes up quite yet. When asked for comment, a SCEA representative told us that "we have currently made no announcements for a new PS3 headset so any information is speculation and rumor."

I'll pick the bundle up. Nothing like 2 BlueTooth headsets... even though my wife will steal the Jabra for her cellphone...

Me also! My jabra that came with warhawk disappeared, and the Plantronics I just got a few weeks ago is okay, but I would gladly buy retail SOCOM for this headset. But at the same time, I kinda want the game to be on my hard drive instead of having to swap out discs.
Can't be joggin', flippin' discs, and drinkin' mah sip!

Id much rather a Jawbone, but its still too expensive. This seems like a great deal. Ill be picking it up for sure now, just wish I could load it on the HDD, disk swapping is lame.

No kidding... even though they turn out to be true 95% of the time (rumble, price cuts, DLC, etc)

I was thinking the same thing. I'm chalking this one up as "most likely true".

I've got a nice working Plantronics Explorer 330 for my PS3, but this one is reeeally sexy. *DROOLING ALL OVER THE PLACE*
I will for sure buy this BT-headset if it turns out to be true. I like Sony's design; of both the PS3 itself, and the BT-headset ;)

Seth Luisi has always said they planned to do a headset bundle when confrontation comes out so i'm positive this rumor will hold true. I'm so stoked over the July/August release date!!!!!

I think a lot of people will buy this even if they have a headset already. This headset should have been around when the PS3 launched, and included with Warhawk.
