    I was once a big CoD fan but have backed off lately. Is black ops 2 going to be worth the opening day purchase? I'm really debating this one.

  • Received these today. Aussie, if you're looking for a PC headset. Get these. They're a bajillion times better than the AX 720s. I'm most likely going to sell those, now that I'm barely on the PS3 anymore. It gives you 7.1 Audio and the ability to adjust every speaker independently to suit what you want to do better. An amazing headset. Got it for $119 on Amazon. Only downside, it only works on PC. Doesn't work for PS3, or 360.

    Bass is ridiculous on it. So deep. Highs are real good. Allows you switch between 7.1 and Stereo speakers on the fly with a switch on the headset. So if you're in a game, like Borderlands switch to 7.1. Listening to music or watching a movie? Switch back to stereo.

    Best money I've ever spent on a headset.

  • Just got a set of the Turtle Beach Ear Force X32s. Not the exact set I wanted, but the company I worked for paid for them, so I won't complain about a free decent headset.

    Probably won't get a headset for a while. I have a really nice set of speakers for my PC.

    As do I, I have the Logitech Z-2300s. But for when I'm playing a game where I need Vent or VoIP. This headset is boss. Plus my main speakers aren't 5.1 or 7.1

  • Alright, I need some headset suggestions from the gallery. I know it's been covered a lot, but what the hell, this is why we have a thread, right? I just got a pair of Turtle Beach Ear Force X32s. I didn't necessarily want them but my job requires me to have (and will pay for) a headset to use with Skype for business so I killed two birds with one stone and got a set that I could use on my computer for work AND on my Xbox. Well obviously the X32s aren't great, mainly the buzzing, but it's tough to pass up free equipment. That being said, I'm looking to start saving and invest in a good set on my own. I know that the top of the line, best of the best sets are pushing $300, and I'm just not sure I'm enough of an audiophile to spend THAT much on a headset. So I figured I'd ask you guys since I know most of y'all own one and have probably owned a few different kinds.

    What I'd like:

    • Wireless
    • Surround Sound
    • Rechargeable (on a stand, not requiring the batteries to be taken in and out)
    • Around or less than $200, if possible.

    And... go.

  • My next headset will be Astro's. Check these out. Would love to have a set of the A40's or A50's.

    I'll give those a look right now. I was just thumbing through Turtle Beach's website and I noticed that the XP400s are wireless, surround sound, compatible with 360/PS3/PC/Mac, and have rechargeable batteries. Not programmable, though, but the price point is $220, which is pretty good. Anyone have any experience with these?

    You need to get the Witcher 2 on PC and finish it. It is one of the best games this generation IMO.

    lol Well ahead of you. I already downloaded it on Steam. Haven't played it much yet but it looks amazing.

    I loved it on Xbox but never got around to finishing it for some reason.

    Downloading Payday the Heist on Playstation Plus. Anyone played it? It is also free on Steam right now.

    If you're going for a set with all of that, and usable on PC and 360. You're spending more than $200. Look at some Astros. I have the 7.1 Wireless Logitech G930s. But they're only for the PC. But its an awesome headset. Flipping awesome, all I have to do to charge it is plug it into USB.

    I need to download this I heard it was like Left 4 Dead which I love. I really like Playstation Plus you can not beat the free games. Is anyone getting Forza Horizon this week? I am debating on it. I really enjoyed the demo.

  • No early reviews for Warfighter. They won't ship the game early. Sounds very sketchy. Did they do this with BF3?
