No sign of EU release, is it worth just buying off the US store?

Would you even be able to play it? If it's not available in your country yet and it's online only, would you even be able to get online? I'm probably gonna go ahead and get it, i worked a lot of overtime this week so i guess i can treat myself. Even as i type this i'm thinking "NO! save the money for LBP and Fable 2 and a million other games!".

The Americans are most likely the Guinea Pigs thats why are release is so late....the Euro beta version still works so just play that until the EU releases....there will most likely we patches throughout the next month for the americans and then the EU will be flawless :)

Do you know if it's being released in EU seperately?

Even if it does, I doubt it's going to be cheaper than

Maybe if you're lucky save ?5, but official headsets won't be cheap

edit:> Play have it even cheaper http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/...on/Product.html

edit2:> I'm talking ****, here it is on it's own for cheaper http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/...et/Product.html

the headset is pretty god-awful when it comes to comfort...

the corner just keep poking/pinching your ear and I find it impossible to use for more than 10min at a time.

The mute button is very handy though, and the sound quality (only tested in the game) is definitely better than my other headsets - hands down. I also did a voice chat over the PS3 with a friend who was using the same headset, and it was practically as good as using a land line phone.

The charge station is cool I suppose, but I'm yet to test the "area mic" feature.

If it wasn't for the damn pinching... I would say everyone should get one. I'm considering sanding that particular corner round just to make it feel better on me ear :-(

The headset actually fits comfortably in my ear which is shocking. Also the problem I have with the mic is that when you have it muted it beats at you. Every ten seconds or so the damn thing beeps. That is the most annoying crap ever. Also what is this HQ mode they kept talking about? Is it on all the time? Also how do you check the charge of it? Cause I haven't found that either.

Now moving on to SOCOM. Every time I start the game it tells me that my time is wrong....no the hell it isn't, your time is wrong. That is really annoying. It seems like they didn't fix a lot of the issues with the beta also. It is still laggy in games and there are graphical hick-ups. Hopefully the trophy patch is going to have a lot of fixes for it.

Dirk, I had a similar issue with GT5 Prologue, it kept complaining of my date and time when I started up. In the settings for the PS3 for date and time, I changed it to use Daylight savings time, and did automatic time from internet, and the issue was gone, so I assume it was the daylight savings setting for the PS3. Maybe you could check that out.

From the beta I'd give the game a 7 or so if most of the issues were tied up.

Looks like we'll need to wait till MAG (which I'm sure will be renamed Socom 4) for our next true Socom game.

I bought this game just because i wanted to share it with my bro to play some shooters online..., the game is no shareable so now im stuck with a crappy game and no one to play with :(

Though, its not that bad to be honest, but with so many games being released right now, something tells me i wont touch it for a good while...

      You're absolutely right! No reason in hell these should be on the road!
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Phillip0web · Posted

      They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By Steven P. · Posted

      24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.

      I'll move to it when it hits beta, I suspect.
