Brendeth Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I'm not really that affected by this, but I just hate the new trend of announcing features and then pulling out the "coming soon" card. It just feels cheap, why not just initially tell me that it'll be an upcoming feature? The Evil Overlord and Thief000 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showan Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 This is a good thing. But the problem I have is this, the way Sony bragged about being able to use your legacy accessories during press events, they made it seem like this would be available at launch.

firey Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Never had a USB or Bluetooth headset for PS3.. doesn't the PS4 come with one that people could use in the mean time? The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted October 11, 2013 Veteran Share Posted October 11, 2013 i am surprised that out of the box that you will not be able to use a Bluetooth headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted October 11, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted October 11, 2013 i am surprised that out of the box that you will not be able to use a Bluetooth headset.It does seem odd. Didn't the PS3 support bluetooth headsets out of the box? I didn't get my headset until maybe a year later or something so I can't be sure.

trooper11 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ah okay, like the xbox headset we saw in the unboxing? Well as hard as it may be to believe, the X1 headset is a step up from the earbuds that Sony is bundling, unless you love earbuds.

I like earbuds, as I find over the ear ones tend to slide off/not sit right. But from what I have read the sony ones are pretty ###### in comparison.
