Straight from snake's item inventory? I thought he had a codec implant.
How come they won't try to sell me one of those?

Implant FTW! haha, reminds me of Metal Gear Awesome when he rips it out of ear when he's annoyed with it

I agree. I must and will have this! Much better than the earpiece that came with Warhawk.

This one should be better because it's $60. The one that came included with warhawk was free. This is a pass for me, I'll just stick with the PS Eye, so far no other headset has matched its audio quality IMO and you don't have to wear a headset.

Using open mic with the PSEye sucks though. I have to unplug it when playing CoD4 and Burnout.

So...who the hell is PDP that they're making this thing?
I don't know about you but for $60, forget that garbage...I don't trust it from a company I don't know, just because it's a gimmick from an AWESOME video game. No, that's not sarcasm, it IS an awesome video game but that doesn't merit another $60 on a crappy product that may not even be good.
I'll wait and see if I hear anything good about it, and if the price goes down...

@ Matt
I love how you call it crappy immediately before saying it "may not even be good." For you to call it crappy, you have to accept the notion it IS crappy, not may be crappy.
Besides, do you have any idea how much high end electronics manufatures you may not have heard of because they dont usually sell directly to the public?? Thats like Matisumi or whatever hard drives that LG, Sony, etc buy and rebrand as thier own. Theres alot of that kinda stuff. Look into high competition grade car audio hardware and you wont see Sony Explode, or the brands your used to seeing at best buy.
Thats just how it is

I apologize for my seemingly harsh statement. However, I was just making the point that I'm not paying $60 for something I don't trust. When I said it was garbage, I meant that the price tag was garbage in my opinion. I wouldn't pay $60 for something like that without knowing the company or having tried the product myself.
And yes, I did call it crappy in the same sentence as "may not be good". I shouldn't call it crappy, because you're right, I haven't tried it. However, I will say that I stand by the statement that it may not be good. I acknowledge that high end companies don't generally sell directly to consumers. That's why we get Linksys routers instead of Cisco. (Bad example of course since we all have seen Cisco commercials, but you get the idea)
Anyway, my point remains that I would not trust it until I heard something about the company. I would have called it a smart move had Sony branded it as their own, given that MGS4 is (theoretically, and this is not my point of argument anyway) a PS3 exclusive. All I was saying was my initial reaction was that this would not be a high quality product, and my faith in the item is not strengthened by a company I've never heard of producing it. I don't see that these are invalid, though I will agree that using the phrase "crappy product" was a bit harsh.

And on a similar note, I agree that Jawbone would have been a perfect candidate. In the consumer market, Jawbone is well respected for high grade bluetooth headsets. They would have made a product I would have bought (not at $60, mind you, but maybe at $30-40) with less hesitance due to the fact that I am aware of where it's coming from, and that there is a likelihood of good quality based on previous experience.

No one has to comment to buying it yet. Unless you are a PS3Fanboy. I would like to see at lease some response or review of it before I decide. Don't trash a product no one has even touched yet.

I'm allowed to talk in anticipation aren't I? There's nothing wrong with it. I don't believe my opinion is fact, I'm just stating the problems that I personally have with it. It's not GOING TO BE crappy. It COULD be. That's all I intended to say. (Although calling it crappy in the END of my first post was a poorly worded statement, which I already apologized for the misunderstanding for...)
Just like some people say "Oh man, MGS4 is going to be amazing!" I can say "It's not going to be great" about a peripheral I don't expect much from. MGS4 being great is an opinion which few people have proven either way due to the fact that there hasn't been an open demo, so while I would say it's different due to watching trailers, it is still impossible to say it's amazing. Just like when I say I think something will be poor, it's an opinion. So I think I'm perfectly justified in saying what I expect, as others do. Just because it's negative doesn't mean I can't share an opinion of mine.

That's how you milk a snake.
I hope Konami will bundle the headset for a MGS4 Xtremely Awesome LE package.

Yeah, but this is cool milking. If they have this for launch, I'd fully get everything metal gear solid related, even if their not licensed by Konami ahaha.
IMHO, this is FUGLY. But I REALLY REALLY want one!

Discussion on NeoGAF about this item, but it looks like it could be fake. Notice the differences in the power button from the different angles. Different size, so who knows...
