PS3 Bluetooth Headset priced at Ouch!

Amazon has a listing for the upcoming Playstation 3 Bluetooth Headset. Price is $49.99! Yikes. That price includes a charging cradle and it should work with your cell phone, etc. According to PS3 Fanboy:

A new High-Quality (HQ) mode will use “advanced wireless technologies and the Headset’s dual-microphone design to enable clear and wide-band wireless voice communication with the PS3 system.”

(They don’t attribute the quote in that, um, quote.)

Of course, for $10 more you can buy SOCOM: Confrontation and get the headset and a game, which is what pretty much everyone will do, and that’s probably exactly what Sony wants you to do. $59.99 for a bluetooth headset and a game seems like a decent deal.

So I deleted the whole exchange, and edited the original post to remove references to his arguments.

Over on his blog, he continued the discussion I’d started, and made sport of the fact that I’d deleted the thread here.

So finally, my thoughts.
