See this Metal Gear Solid 4 Bluetooth headset, Snake. Snake? SNAKE!
This headset should be in stores just in time for the game's release on June 12 and – considering how similar it looks to Microsoft's Xbox 360 Wireless Headset – it should come as little surprise that it will carry the same $59.99 pricetag. To paraphrase the great Solid Snake, "we don't believe in coincidences."

What?Where? I fell asleep :'(
Bleu @ Apr 15th 2008 10:03AM
I am buying it. As soon as it comes out.
DangerMouse @ Apr 14th 2008 11:22PM
TO ACTIVATE THE HEADSET, PUSH THE ACTION BUTTON!

You made my day.

Best pick-up line ever. :]
Co @ Apr 14th 2008 11:23PM
I like.
John McPoop @ Apr 14th 2008 11:23PM
pretty slick but I will stick with my regular old motorola head set ... at least you could use it outside of the PS3 ... although someones dork alert might go off
Phi Nguyen @ Apr 15th 2008 10:51AM
Does said Dork Alert look like a giant "!" sign?
mike @ Apr 14th 2008 11:24PM
that looks pretty sleek. I love my wireless 360 headset. Unfortunetly I ran over it with my chair the other day and it wont turn on now :(.
el serpiente @ Apr 14th 2008 11:25PM
This is kind of silly. You can use any old bluetooth headset with the PS3. And you sure as tits won't catch me wearing that thing out in public.
The Artist formally known as Jesus @ Apr 14th 2008 11:27PM
cool I can use this along with my bluetooth Solid Eye

Want to know how to go from normal to pretentious? Wear your bluetooth everywhere. Make yourself think you look important.
Matt B @ Apr 14th 2008 11:39PM
C'mon Mr. Grant. The only similarities to the 360 version is the ear hugger. It's pretty standard as are most human ears. The 360 version is more Star Trekish than MGS. But if you need to drag the 360 into this thread for some reason... by all means...it' your site.
mezzanine @ Apr 15th 2008 12:36AM
I have the ears of a jackal
Edog Lost @ Apr 15th 2008 12:52AM
It also has the same speaker case. It looks a lot a like the 360 head set. Just some cosmetic shell.
I will get so many chicks when I walk down the street with my iPhone, talking really loud into that thing. I can't WAIT!!
Sain @ Apr 15th 2008 3:13AM
I agree....I guess headphones (music ones) that have a ear hugger are similar to 360 headsets...even though they came out before...
Christopher Grant @ Apr 15th 2008 8:37AM
Same ear hugger loop, same soft speaker covering instead of an in-ear thing. Really, this looks far more similar to the Xbox 360 wireless headset than any Bluetooth headset I've seen. You disagree?
superaktieboy @ Apr 15th 2008 3:13PM
not really sure here.. but aren't you the one that brings the 360 in this post?
Mromson @ Apr 14th 2008 11:40PM
Doesn't matter if anyone sees you with this. Seriously. A: No one looks for it. B: No one cares. C: Should A and B fail, then you suck.
MGS4 = Game of the Year! SNAKE FOREVER!!!
Shmil (Brawl Code 2621-2310-1994) @ Apr 15th 2008 12:22AM
I know what you're saying
Everyone is all like "oh noes people will see me with it"
when in reality we should be embracing things like this, don't be ashamed to be a gamer
Phizzy @ Apr 14th 2008 11:45PM
Will it directly stimulate the small bones of your ear so that you'll be the only one who can hear it?
KarlW @ Apr 14th 2008 11:51PM
If it gave you the codec ringing sound, I'd buy it.
Yes, I'd probably never get a girl again, but every time my phone rings, it'll be worth it.
Kapitan Kramer @ Apr 14th 2008 11:55PM
Why SNAKE! and not SNAKU!?

Giving MGS the halo treatment! MGS themed accessories galore!
Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Apr 15th 2008 12:22AM
I know, right. This and.. well, errrrm, fuck. This is the only MGS4 branded accessory. Unless oyu count an entire console.
Shmil (Brawl Code 2621-2310-1994) @ Apr 15th 2008 12:24AM
I want some solid snake soda
...no wait
DangerMouse @ Apr 15th 2008 1:06AM
I hope the legendary package comes with a Solid Snake bandanna I can tie around my member.
Parsnipzilla @ Apr 15th 2008 2:55AM
But will it be a CAT sized bandanna.....
jake11 @ Apr 15th 2008 12:00AM

Bulbaz0r @ Apr 15th 2008 12:00AM
I can't decide which is more embarrassing: the fact that you're wearing a bluetooth with a video game logo on it, or the fact that you're wearing a bluetooth.
Phizzy @ Apr 15th 2008 3:03AM
'Wearing a bluetooth' - is that really an acceptable statement in America?
capt_carl @ Apr 15th 2008 8:34AM
@Phizzy:
Sadly, yes.
Christopher Grant @ Apr 15th 2008 8:39AM
I live in America and I don't find that to be acceptable grammatically. Also, what's the matter with Bluetooth headsets? It's like all those jerks that refused to get cellphones finally caved in and they need something new to remain distrustful of.
superaktieboy @ Apr 15th 2008 3:16PM
@Christopher
dude, it sooo hard to say headset, its just not normal, that's why we leave out the headset bit (!)
for some reason this comment i just wrote reminds of a lolcats :)
Alexander @ Apr 15th 2008 12:04AM
Is this completely official? I'm just saying, cause those pictures REALLLY look like they were made in Maya.
Christopher Grant @ Apr 15th 2008 8:40AM
Read link says they're renders and, well, they look like renders. Didn't think it needed to be pointed out.
Jay @ Apr 15th 2008 12:04AM
I don't even have a PS3 (and probably wont until at least after the game is out) and still.....DO WANT
I've been meaing to get a BT anyway
Mickey @ Apr 15th 2008 12:05AM
These actually look pretty nice but 59.99? not worth double the price of a decent headset or the same price as the game itself.
Bradford @ Apr 15th 2008 12:17AM
This was posted on another site for being fake. Where's the proof this is real? It looks like a fan-made mock-up based of the 360 headset.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Apr 15th 2008 12:23AM
And that other site retracted that statement with a story called "Oh, the headset's real."
rTwelve @ Apr 15th 2008 12:23AM
Is this what Slippy ended up making for Snake?
Burn @ Apr 15th 2008 12:46AM
Well, as long as it works decent i will check it out, most bluetooth suck

Looks good if you you're one of the few that doesn't own a headset.
