I'd love to have a LAN setup like that in my house with a bunch of flat screens.

The headset looks pretty cool actually. I might buy one now.

 

[swoon]

couldn't they just talk really loudly? they are right next to each other.

It's an online beta, not lan.

 

[Go Go Ackman!]

2 months baby.

You missed the best picture

I cancelled my Live subscription last year because I wasn't using it, but I may have to bite the bullet and re-up.

I've been on Live since the beta testing days but nowadays I'm never on it. Still, it's only 50 bucks a year, so I don't mind keeping it so that I can play the "big" games online as well as a few old favorites.

Back on topic I'll definitely pick up the headset... if and only if my current one happens to go bad heh.

Unrelated to the Beta, but I hope you dont fight the Flood anymore in the single player.

 

[Senretsu]

I want those chairs!

 

[siamesedreamer]

I don't like the earplug in the mic. They should have just used the same XBL headset ear foam deal.

They'll be there, but expect some very different behaviour this time.....

 

[chespace]

but do you $49.99 love those headphones?

(btw: those pics are from the beta press event last month... in fact, i think i was bungie04c fragging frankie

I might $49.99 those headphones, since my current headset is in several pieces and I tire of having to gerry-rig it every time I want to see someone cheat in Rainbow.

 

[Go Go Ackman!]

WOAH Check out how the plasma pistol reticule and the SMG reticule merge to form a single one! That's bloody great! Did anyone else notice this?

The hell?

That's ridiculous, is this the confirmed MSRP from Microsoft?

I'd expect at least a cameo.

The Flood level was one of the best levels EVER in a videogame...it was just the library afterwards that was tedious.

 

[Mike Works]

Any chance they'll bundle those headphones with the SE?

http://ebgames.com/ebx/product/245526.asp It's not MS, but that's close enough for me.

Nice eye man, I never noticed that.

I must be the only person on earth that didn't mind the flood level, I just play through it with the "Alien" movie mentality. Oh Noes! Swarms of alien! Fire! FIRE!!

Mike,

That'd be pretty cool... especially considering I ordered the SE already. That said, MS isn't that generous.

-One-Ear-Fit allows gamers to be completely absorbed in the game while keeping a social ear on what's up in the room
-For serious gamers - can be worn on either ear for extended play

Oh I see these are high-quality headsets not just the rudimentary ones with a new look and paintjob. Still the price is way too high for me (my headset works perfectly).

Yeah I don't see this being packed with the LE set, maybe they'll have a package deal (like $10 off) if you buy it with the game.

 

[DopeyFish]

for me, it's a must buy. the regular headset sticks to the top of my ear and absolutely hurts when taking it off after a couple hours.

There was a thread dedicated to this a while back, but yes they are a Plantronics headset, sot he quality should be very good.

Tell me about it. I hate the default one. Then again, I can't wear any headphones except buds...
