  • Static88, on 04/15/2008, -2/+48I dont need one... but I'm going to buy one anyway, not because I'm in love with the MGS series.
    I'm just a consumer whore.
  • Kamitoman, on 04/15/2008, -2/+111Because who HASN'T wanted to crouch on the ground, touch their headset and go "This is Snake."
    • LiquidChimera, on 04/15/2008, -1/+20I've been practicing all my life for this opportunity.
      "This is Raiden"

      Ah dammit, oh well, I still have until June 12
    • loganhid, on 04/15/2008, -1/+42Snake whats happend.....Snake.......Snake......Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake
      • mywhitenoise, on 04/15/2008, -1/+17That never gets old.
        • Aadain, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1I does about the 1,000th time you have died because you did something stupid :)
      • KyjL, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4HAHA DIDN'T BREAK A SWEAT

        ***** I JUST KILLED SOMEONE WITH MY SWEAT
    • NodOfficer, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2Only when I'm among cardboard boxes.
  • jeshakespeare, on 04/15/2008, -11/+16I'll buy it purely for MGS online, anyone who uses bluetooth headsets with phones just look a bit silly.
    • warplayer, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1You know, unless they live in a state where it is illegal to talk on a cell while driving and they are trying to not get pulled over.
  • logicalnoise, on 04/15/2008, -5/+21my cellphone has the CTU ringtone...that's geeky enough for me I guess.
    • digitalpencil, on 04/15/2008, -1/+2Yeh, we had to change that at work.. it got really annoying after a while, no-one knew who was getting txts!
      What you get for working with geeks, i guess.
      • logicalnoise, on 04/15/2008, -2/+2yeah 5 monthes after I got the rington it showed up as a selectable ringtone on my office phones. 5 people who sit next to each other have it selected.
    • Harbinger67, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1Woah...great idea. Where does one get the sound file for that?
  • mywhitenoise, on 04/15/2008, -2/+40You ***** assholes. $60? You know I'm stupid enough to buy into that crap! $85 LE game, followed by LE Steel PS3, and now this headset that looks like a Prius?
    • evozero, on 04/15/2008, -1/+5Agreed...I like it, but for $60 I'm keeping my Warhawk Jabra headset.
    • quomen, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2lol wait, who are the assholes?
    • Shogi, on 04/15/2008, -2/+2$60 is a bargain. If they asked for my soul I'd next-day overnight airmail that *****.
  • loganhid, on 04/15/2008, -0/+52They should call it a 'codec'
  • loganhid, on 04/15/2008, -15/+17Fission Mailed
    • mywhitenoise, on 04/15/2008, -14/+2lame.
      What is this, gamefaqs?
      • Lyletp, on 04/15/2008, -1/+17No, its the dialouge that appears in Metal Gear Solid 2 instead of Mission Failed when your characters nanomachines start malfunctioning as you get closer to the center of arsenal gear.
        • mywhitenoise, on 04/15/2008, -8/+2I'm a dumbass. I can't believe I forgot about that...I was so used to seeing it constantly written by people on gamefaqs that I figured it was another meme.
    • coresnake, on 04/15/2008, -1/+2Youre doing it... ah forget it
  • santasing, on 04/15/2008, -9/+10Man....I don't need it, but I will probably end up getting it anyways. And wear it to work :-P I got a colleague who is a huge XBox guy. Would be fun to show off my MGS headset. That little Master Chief doll sitting on his desk is just plain annoying.
    • logicalnoise, on 04/15/2008, -4/+5yeah damn him for having something on HIS desk that you for some reason have to look at all the time.
      • santasing, on 04/15/2008, -6/+3Its not something on HIS desk that annoys me, its the fact that its a plastic doll. the guy is 35 for crying out loud, not that there is anything wrong with it :-D
        I just think with this headset, my ePeni would be bigger.
        • wageslaven, on 04/15/2008, -2/+3Says the guy who wants to buy a MGS-branded headset...
      • santasing, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2Its a working bluetooth headset. I will buy it. At least I am not paying 100 for a plastic doll.
  • sponsoredveeka, on 04/15/2008, -4/+5So hot!
  • samuraix98, on 04/15/2008, -2/+14Even thought i already own a bluetooth headset, this one would make me look just that much more like a *cough* "Bad ass"
  • DarkSamus, on 04/15/2008, -10/+4would it be blasphemous to buy this and not the game?
  • CrudeDarkness, on 04/15/2008, -1/+9If only there was a solid eye..
  • iamjero, on 04/15/2008, -1/+4Glad I never bought a headset. Count me in.
  • SmellyFingers, on 04/15/2008, -4/+13!

    • mal1964, on 04/15/2008, -2/+1Digg me down for telling the Truth, Because i don't give a *****! It was just a coincidence
    • mal1964, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1Its till outside my front door, Yes I can be that lazy. I'll shut my pie hole now!
    • vagarach, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1God man you replied to your own post THREE times! Nobody cares!
      • mal1964, on 04/15/2008, -1/+1Why did you reply, Because you didn't care?
  • JupiterSSJ4, on 04/15/2008, -16/+2this is that game where you have to sneak around right?? never got into those games and don't see why people do. I want to run around and kill things so FPS or old school turn based RPG's for me only please.
  • Fishnchipsman, on 04/15/2008, -1/+9whenever i see someone talking on one of those i start talking to them like they were talking to me

    some of the people get pretty mad
  • jjcyber, on 04/15/2008, -2/+4Well thats another 60 bones to be added to the anticipated $20 million that I'm gonna spend on all things MGS4 related in the coming months...
  • h4mx0r, on 04/15/2008, -3/+4Pure curiosity, but if you have a bluetooth enabled laptop, can you use the headset as a microphone?
    • Fraser484, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2don't see why not mate. more than likely for a phone too.
    • warplayer, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1Yup. You could also skype on it (or whatever your favorite VOIP is)
  • Compserd, on 04/15/2008, -3/+4Tactical espionage action! HaHa!
  • someone173406, on 04/15/2008, -1/+9Is it packaged in a cardboard box?
    • supersteve, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4i don't think it is trying to hide from us
  • amdforever, on 04/15/2008, -4/+15Now you can look like a tool without even playing the game.
  • z3021017, on 04/15/2008, -4/+5I hope it can be charged via mini-USB so I don't have another cable lying around.
  • soot, on 04/15/2008, -5/+2ARRGGHHHH METAL GEAR??!?!?!?!!
  • supersteve, on 04/15/2008, -3/+4my am very happy with my 360, but this game looks sick!!!
    • MohdSaud, on 04/15/2008, -5/+2You mean this game is a legend.
    • Myonosken, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1SICK
      Seriously, that is the most annoying slang ever.
  • JointVenture, on 04/15/2008, -3/+4I like the MGS games, but that thing looks like junk.
  • seanpackage, on 04/15/2008, -2/+15Thank god this is being made available. I could not see myself playing the game without it. I really need all sorts of different color peripherals to complete my gaming experience. If I didn't get to look get to look like a total ***** in the comfort of my own home while wearing this eyesore, I doubt I would even want to play the game. Double thank god for the "snazzy" carrying case. God knows that I am going to be carrying this all over the place with me. How embarrassing would it be if you showed up somewhere without your MGS4 headset? I couldn't even imagine...
  • Ellipsys, on 04/15/2008, -0/+6Stick that in the limited edition PS3 bundle, and I may just be tempted enough to grab it.
  • cuco, on 04/15/2008, -3/+2it looks like the ones they give out for free after a mail-in rebate
  • allemande, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3Coolness
  • MohdSaud, on 04/15/2008, -2/+3Definitely I'll buy it.
  • yeahclick, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4I consciously drool over anything branded with the Metal Gear Solid 4 logo.
    • YellowSnowDemon, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3What a coincidence. I have a MGS tattoo on my penis. When erect it says 'Metal Gear Solid'
  • Fraser484, on 04/15/2008, -1/+5I'm still waiting for my Croc Cap.
  • res8qr6m, on 04/15/2008, -0/+4What happened to the nanomachines?
  • Relvas, on 04/15/2008, -2/+2If only I had a PS3 :( I'm a fan of MGS series since MGS1
  • Chebsi, on 04/15/2008, -2/+2Oh sweet! Once I get my hands on that, I'll be the coolest kid on the block!
  • wolfofwar, on 04/15/2008, -2/+3Now just like Snake in all his games, you too can stop what you are doing, in a dangerous place, and listen to the social political ramblings of an aging retired colonel and a bed-wetting 30 year old manboy every five minutes!
  • VinnieDaMac, on 04/15/2008, -0/+3Looks like I'm gonna have to rob someone if I want to get a PS3 and everything required to play MGS4
  • nobelief, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2$60?!?
  • Coolmatt49, on 04/15/2008, -1/+3Can you hear me Snake?...Snake!?....SNNNAAAAAAAAKEEE!!!
  • specialbuddy1, on 04/15/2008, -4/+0I've never had a bluetooth headset that I actually like. If this headset is anything like the last 3 games then it will most likely SUCK.
  • TheWiredNerv, on 04/15/2008, -1/+2Walk in public with your metal gear solid blue tooth; be the envy of your coworkers and peers!
    • specialbuddy1, on 04/15/2008, -1/+0Maybe at gamestop you would be the envy of your peers. Everywhere else no one will care.
  • habenneas, on 04/15/2008, -0/+2Lynxcache.org mirror: http://www.lynxcache.org/usr/1/Metal_Gear_Solid_4_ ...
  • dNitza, on 04/15/2008, -3/+0YAY now we can look like tools playing MGS4
  • gh0st32, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1I will stick with my original socom wired headset I like my $60 in my pocket.
  • nahiyan, on 04/18/2008, -0/+0http://psdirect.blogspot.com

  • MizanWtf, on 04/23/2008, -0/+0Woah. That is awesome. But I think they should have it bundled with MGS4 the game itself.
    As like they did with Warhawk. Also, the Warhawk bluetooth is better than this one.
    Konami Konami Konami =
