I was just wondering how many PS3 owns here at gamespot actually have mics for the PS3. I recently bought a mic and i feel like it's been the most usless accessory i've bought for the PS3. so if you have a mic you should list your PSN id.

My PSN id = lstreak; the first letter is a L not an I.

The games i've been playing recently are SFIV and Killzone 2.

I have one and I dont even like playing online except for Socom because that is the only game people use mics in. I play a game of Resistance and like 2 people may have mics in the 8 player co-op which sucks because it really hurts the squad.

I have a mic but sometimes it is best not to even take the effort to turn it on.I either turn it on and get into a room of idiots who talk trash or a room with people with no mics.

I do but usually don't use it because no one else hardly even has one. In GTA4, I probably came across 5 people that had one throughout the entire time I played that game. It was funny, the only 1 to ever talk was an XBox player and he only talked because he couldn't believe no else had headsets. When I played Resistance 1 and GRAW 2 occasionally there would be a clan that would talk frequently.

Exactly, i usualy just play killzone 2 and Resistance 2 online and i must say; Killzone 2s online community reminds me of the halo 2 days as far as kids and trash talkers are concerned. Thus why i usualy keep my mic off unless im with a friend(s). If anyone wants to play the aforementiond gamesonline feel free to add me ^_^!

I have the official Sony one but really only use it for R2 co-op. Anything competitive is typically just trash talk and whining so no point in using it for that.

i have a mic and use it.. for the trash talkers i agree with whatever they say, then they usually shut up because they can't say anything else.. i don't know why people get offended by what they say in my case what they say is never true, but i agree they are very annoying..

corrupted__soul

there are 2 underscores, go ahead and add me, i can always use more cool people to play with.. lets just hope you are cool enough lol..

EDIT - complainers are the worst, i normally just tell them to shut up so they complain more lol.. i will however turn my mic off if some ignorant person is blasting music, but i only had that happen a few times..

socom has a great mic system. sure you get your butt heads on there but i never care about them cause they are the ones that always die first. and PTT is WAY better than open mics. but like %90 pf people have a mic and use it on socom

Get away from noob rooms and games and you'll find a ton of people with mics. Socom is a great example. Go to where the noobs go, the respawn rooms, and you get mixed mic usage. But if you go into reanked matched, mics are used 95% of the time and used for strategy.

I have one, but hardly uses it mainly because I'm not playing with real life friends so there's no point speaking most won't listen anyway.

Nah, I hate talking on telephones and I doubt a mic would be much different.

Andro729. Add me if you want. I have a mic and use it all the time. I've been playing Killzone 2 a lot. I have atleast one PSN friend I talk to and strategize with on that game. I think Killzone 2 is an exception to what you are talking about, most of the time people have mics and use them in that game. Oh, and I also like MGO.

On SOCOM a mic is absolutely necessary. Mic usage is probably about 95%. The community is also great; everyone is an adult and for the most part they act like adults. Other games blow. When anybody does have a mic, they are playing music or are a 12-year old screaming kid. Join a clan if you need to use a mic for every game.

Yep, that's pretty much the case with me except I would get the racists who basically sound like they should even play a M game or get the guy that just yells or plays music through the mic constantly

I have the PS camera with built-in mic on all 3 of my PS3s for room chat and I have a wired USB mic and the Sony Blutooth mic that comes with Socom for private chat.

Try making friends with people gaming online and then you'll talk more. It depends on the game but it can be fun.

I kinda agree.The Blu-tooth mics get on my nerves sometimes and I hate having the USB headset's wire plug into the console.

Like I always say, feel free to add me, I have a mic, but I only use it a bit (to tell the trash talkers to shut the **** up and stop talking to themselves) and say you got my PSN from this website.

PSN: Radioactive_Mike

You can also read it in sky blue in my sig!:D

I only use my mic on codwaw. I turn it on and set it on the counter so I don't have to listen to all the idiots talk on my surround sound. Its like a wonderful idiotproof mute button.

I have and use a mic with Resistance 2. Mostly useful for playing online with my brother and cousin, as from what I've seen so far we're the only intelligent gamers on the PSN.

thanks for all the responses guys. just out of curiosity, is socom: confrontation any good? i heard that a lot of patches have made the game much more enjoyable. i've never actually played a socom game before but i have played a lot of CODwaw. So should i get socom? like is it similar to world at war?

thanks

I play a TON and I mean a ton of Resistance 2 , I have two mics but prefer the hardwire one the old USB playstation mic. Alot of times I dont even put it on for the fact I have never seen a co-op room were people use them to talk about the game. Its either trash talk or that one person that leaves it on and you hear everything in there house. I would love to get a group with mics that use them...
