Which makes you but a small part in the rather large category of people who cannot obtain Sony's
Metal Gear Solid 4 wireless headphones. Offered only to 30 randomly selected and considerably lucky gamers who purchase one of the
MGS4 bundles on
Konami's Japanese online store, the branded
MDR-DS7000s offer 7.1 channels of digital neck-snapping sound. It could very well be Snake's best friend, provided it's not a con. The offer is only good until June 1st, so you'd best ring up your Japanese girlfriend and involve her (though it may cost a lot).
Our favorite mammalian, Snake, makes his PlayStation 3 debut and departure on
June 12th, leaving you only a few months to assemble all the necessary,
limited edition gear.

Sony headphones? Why don't I just stencil a FOXHOUND logo onto a good pair of headphones?

Granted, I *would* do that... but being a fan (obviously) and all, I'm disappointed at the inability to readily get a pair of those "neat-o torpedo" headphones. :(
...or at least a toy RC MkII... hmm.

7.1 digital sound...through only 2 speakers. Kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Same thing I was thinking.

I've had a pair of these for a while now and they are awesome. Had the Sennheisers before these and they were a little beefier sounding but these are far better at simulating surround.
