PS3 headset priced at $50 for North America - Joystiq
"The PlayStation Blog has listed some details for North America about the new PS3 headset available this fall. The peripheral will be available in the $60 SOCOM: Confrontation bundle, or as a standalone peripheral for $50, similar to the price in Japan. Some features of the headset include:
"High-Quality" mode with use on PS3, offering noise cancellation and a better chat quality on the console.
The quality of the headset will allegedly allow for more accurate commands of AI-controlled squad mates in Confrontation. There will also be "voice animation" where the player's avatar will "mimic" them during voice chat.
There will be an in-game status indicator exclusive to the headset. It will display connection status, battery charge, speaker volume and mute status.
Cradling the set back on the dock will turn it into a "desktop microphone" while charging.
So, what say the headset purchasing vox populi? Is SOCOM worth spending an extra $10 for your fancy new Bluetooth PS3 headset? "

I've had mine on pre-order for quite a while now so this was a pleasant surprise! Don't forget, if you pre-order Socom you'll get to play in the beta starting on Sept. 5th. (Though if you wait a little bit longer you can get to play without pre-ordering.)
