I don't know if it is just, or if everyone else has this problem,headsets like this just do not feel comfortable and I have issues keeping them on while playing games(tend to jump around in frustration a lot lol)

but as Bluetooth headsets go it looks pretty useful and and the new controller for the xbox is purely just being made to bleed a few more pounds out of people wallets, I say this mainly because I have never really been a fan of buying a tv type remote for a console when the normal controller does everything you need anyway lol

[Lonesamurai]

Aye agreed... but the new controller looks sexy and its cheaper than the old one, so I'll grab one (been meaning to grab one for ages and not gotten round to it yet)

[WiseMasterUk]

I see your point it does seem really cheap and not too much of an expense just to purchase the remote, and personally I may not be a fan of remotes for consoles I am a big fan of sexy and good looking controllers for entertainment systems like dvd players and tv's.

I think it looks like a Scouter or something along that lines. Or something you'd see used in Star Trek. Though I agree it doesn't look all that comfortable...
