I just got a PS3 today and I'm really loving it so far. I have one question with mics however, can I use a regular USB logitech headset or do I have to buy the bluetooth headset?

You can definitely use the USB logitech. But you have to do this from your PS3 Settings> Accessories> Audio output settings> USB device. Have fun...

Exactly, but for me bluetooth works much better, it opens up a free USB space, and I think all bluetooth headsets are wireless up to around 60 feet, which is much better than having a headset with a 4 foot cable, which limits movement and distance.

Also my bluetooth is compatable with my phone, so instead of leaving any online game to answer the phone, i just switch the input on my microphone with the push of a button, and don't miss a beat.

Worst thing about bluetooth devices is that whistle-like sound you get occasionally. And since I am like 1 meter away from my TV :) the cable distance doesn't affect me a lot.

Lol, well mine has no whistle sound, except for a short time to tell me it's connected; which is intended. Although it was an $80 microphone. :P

The USB headsets work very nicely with the PS3, I use a USB headset when I forget to recharge my Blu-Tooth headset.
