    I'd be interested in something like this WITHOUT the earpiece with standard jack.

    Would be interesting to play with speakers on and eliminate that awful echo effect. #modernwarfare2

    Hhhmmmm Definitely considering picking one up then, even if it will be a while before I pick up the actual game. It's not like you can only use it with MW2 afterall... #modernwarfare2

    Only for the X360? A shame.

    The biggest reason I hate using mic headsets is because of how uncomfortable they are, but I can't use this. #modernwarfare2

    Shame this isn't out on PC, might of picked one up.
    Having a mic in front of your face can be a bit off putting sometimes.
    Though I like using a headset for FPS, so I dunno...
    Though I have an old mic headset lying about, hmm could be a good weekend project....

    Edit: weekend project would involve turning a regular PC mic into a throat mic. not converting this to work on PC, this has the wrong type of connector for even a 2.5mm to 3.5mm to work. Hooray for propriety hardware.

    @deanbmmv: Just do the simple thing, wear headphones and use a mic. I used to wear a cheap headset with a mic around my neck and my good headphones around my head.

    The jack just looks like a mini jack. You should be fine connecting it to your computer with either a adapter, or just cut the wire and make two 1/4'' jacks. #modernwarfare2

    @sereal: It looks like a mini jack, but it's one plug for two things, whereas on a PC pic you'd have the separate 3.5mm mic n sound plugs.

    But yeah, with a neck mic I'd still use a headset. Just don't need a headset/mic combo one. #modernwarfare2

    @Shin: We sure it'd have to work?
    360 controller just registers as a HID device, not a sound device. I't'd be annoyingly redundant too having to hook up a 360 control pad, then hook this up with the controller hanging off your neck while playing games. #modernwarfare2

    @deanbmmv: It's the same mini-headphone jack cell-phones use, it just has an extra band on it to seperate the mic input from the shared ground. #modernwarfare2

    @deanbmmv: Yes, but if you were to cut the wire you would see a wire for the mic, and a wire for the earpiece. A converter would do this too except be more expensive. #modernwarfare2

    @sereal: That cable looks threaded into one. it'd be a messy hack. Next problem is the wire is about 4 foot too short :P #modernwarfare2

    @deanbmmv: Yes, I would guess the wires would be pretty thin. My solution would be to buy a female minijack connector and wire it that way. Length can be fixed with a extender.

    Either way, it won't be long till we see some better quality PC ones showing up. #modernwarfare2

    @deanbmmv: all I can say is that 360 mics are recognised as usb audio on win xp when hooked up (or "paired" in my case as I have a wireless mic) to a 360 controller. #modernwarfare2

    The old Petz games of the late 90's and early 00's were fun and enjoyable. The crap they're calling "Petz" nowadays...is just pathetic.

    This series is more popular than I thought.


    Just think. Kids nowadays will look back on WiiSports and Petz the way we look back on Super Mario and Tetris.

    Thank you, Fahey, for this beautiful reminder that Ubi is always good for a laugh - and that, yes, you always lead with monkeyz.


    ...Or should it be "alwayz"? I will let you ponder on that.
