headsets?

[mdhay]

Does anyone know where to get a psp headset or a psp compatible one? I have looked in every psp-related store but I can't find one!:( And I can't buy them off the internet, either!

EB Games, k-mart, wal*mart...

EDIT: aww crap, I forgot you are in UK:brickwall

yeah, I realized that right after I posted it - I'll be proud when I hit 1337:p

Have done. Nothing. I even wasted £15on a pair that I thought only had one jack, but since you can't see them... I bought them. And my parents hate me for it.

The official PSP headset is pretty hard to come by these days. I'm thinking they'll release a new version of it when the new PSP comes out. I have seen the old one on Ebay, though.

Unfortunately I sold mine at the turn of the year, thinking I'd get another one with SOCOM FTB2, but they didn't do that kind of pack this time round. I'm wondering if Killzone will pick up the microphone in my Go!Cam if I have that plugged in.

[q_dmc12]

I'm highly doubting that

[infoxicated]

Me too, as it's not through the same port, so unless a game is coded with it in mind it's a long shot.

We're using that with Pulse, though, so you can use the USB microphone or Go!Cam microphone for chat during online play.

There is a Feisar with silver lining.....

O.O ..Wait, when you say USB microphone do you mean the psp headset or some other device I'm going to have to buy??:?

[infoxicated]

You're not going to have to buy anything.

But there's a microphone built into the Go!Cam and a microphone that comes with Talkman (http://www.pspworld.com/sony-psp/accessories/talkman-for-psp-004940.php) - the plan is to support those for use with normal headphones plugged in.

[q_dmc12]

okay, so no support for psp headset?

[infoxicated]

Probably, although there are issues with that.

Essentially, if you use the headset, it raises the age rating of the game to 18, or Adults Only in the states. This is because you run the risk of some idiot screaming down their microphone and damaging your ears. So it doesn't get a lot of support due to that - nobody likes to publish a game with that rating (unless they're Rockstar).

I'll find out if we're supporting it on Pulse, though.

[mdhay]

Do you know if a pc headset adaptor exists somewhere?

[zargz]

what's wrong with skype? :?

[q_dmc12]

I'll find out if we're supporting it on Pulse, though.

Thx, if it's not supported then I guess I'll go the skype route....unless I can get ahold of a Go!cam for $10 - $15;)

[mdhay]

what's wrong with skype? :?

I can't use it. My computer is utter tat.

[rdmx]

Teamspeak/ventrilo anyone?

[zargz]

I heard ventrilo is good too but never used it.
my bro said .. Gamers .. use it, so it must be good huh? 8)

[RJ O'Connell]

nobody likes to publish a game with that rating (unless they're Rockstar).
And even then it will never be sold in retailers because in the US, every major game retailer doesn't carry AO/18+ rating games, thus making the game unsellable.

Anyway, headsets. I have Skype and I'm sure I can get some use out of a Ventrilo or TeamSpeak trial, but I prefer not to be tethered to the computer while playing a PlayStation Portable game. I've yet to see something like a PSP-specific headset sold in the states as a stand-alone item. I'm sure there's one out there and I'm not looking hard enough. >_>

I tried a double jack and that umd remote with the headset I bought, but no dice
