PS4 comes with headset, Xbox One does NOT

:lol:

Who honestly thought using kinect instead of a conventional headset was a good idea? You'll have to yell at the thing to actually get people to hear you.

Yeah it uses kinect.  Sounds kind of cool actually, love how you can switch from audio and video. 

 

I actually like this idea better than a headset.  Interesting that MS is the only company innovating this gen.  And nintendo, to an extent.

[QUOTE="voicereason"] Using kinect for it is stupid beyond belied But i wouldnt expect anything less from Microsoft. Its Microsoft. All they know how to do is make stupid decisions If you are sitting far away from your kinect it wont pick your voice up etc There areany more issues too There is also the fact that the Kinect always has to be on. Now consider that Microsoft was the FIRST to sogn up for NASA's spying programs. Put two and two togethervoicereason

Come to think of it....most people are going to put the kinect near the speakers of the TV. Even if the sound is directional it would still pick up the television speaker in a small room. Never mind the fact that most of us don't want everyone in the house hearing the kind of stuff said over Xbox Live.

:lol: at that pathetic PS4 headset :lol: Im gonna but a Turtle Beach or Astro headset anyways. I <3 the Turtle Beach headset I have now for 360. Its been 3 years and it still works perfectly. mems_1224

My Pulse Elites blow your shitty Turtles away. Plus I can use them with my phone without looking like a dork.

Really hope my Turtle Beaches will work ... Those look rubbish.JasonDarksavior

They won't work on Xbox One...thats already been made pretty clear.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="voicereason"] Its that too. I agree Microsoft is always trying to under cut the consumer for as much profit as possible. Its ridicilous People shoud really look into the fact that Microsoft WAS the FIRST to sign up for NASA's spying programs too, while they are making Kinect ALWAYS ONvoicereason

Sheens last gen: Who needs a headset? no one wants to talk online thats so last generation, if someone wants a headset they'll buy it.

I can see that Mems has started yet another damage control campaign LOL

Poor Lems, they're getting slaughtered by Sony

actually from the link it says they may have new features such as using stereo sound to have directional chat audio in multiplayer which would actually be pretty coollamprey263

yeee, not going to be using that.campzor

Xbox will not be compatible with current gen headphones.

It was just microsoft being cheap....it makes no sense for a console absolutely driven around internet connection to lack a headset. mems_1224

spying on aliens FTW!

talk about being BONED

[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"][QUOTE="drakekratos"] it's better than nothing, and at least I can use my Turtle Beach headphones from current gen on PS4.

Can't say I'm upset about getting a cheap-looking headset for free when Xbots are forced to pay an extra $100 for a voice-detecting camera.

[QUOTE="Chutebox"]Also, from what I understand xbox will use Kinect for a headphone?drakekratos

That is HORRIBLE.

Kinect as a headphone? LOL. All that means is you will hear other peoples TV's, Crying Babies, Parents yelling, White noise, etc.... Gamers will literally have to yell at their Kinect from across the room, just so others can hear them in Call of Duty.

It'll probably filter out external sounds and focus on your vocals within a frequency range like mobile phones and what they were trying to do with the original Kinect. It's really not that hard.

Also you're about to hear a lot of whiny kids and obnoxious people on your online games now. Having a headset with your console has a downside. If you think the crowd on Xbox live was like that for any other reason than 'everyone has a headset' you're about to find out.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="drakekratos"] You underestimate the quality of Sony's manufacturing. They don't make cheap shit.

<WilliamRLBaker

Also the PS2 controller. I remember I got a second hand PS2 and a brand new controller, to play the old Ace Combat games, it didn't feel great and analogue buttons are a complete joke compared to the analogue triggers on an Xbox pad.

Will my 3.5mm headset be useless again because of no 3.5mm microphone jack? :x

Does anyone know if usb will be usable for audio/mic, I think ps3 only allows mic to go through if you plug a usb headset into it.
