Xbox gives you a FREE headset when you buy your console, does the Playstation 3? no, and Bluetooth headsets can sometimes be annoying e.g., you can lose them very easily you end up having to charge them every single day which can be frustrating, also how many times can you hear somebody echoing on PSN? or even hear their whole family talking because they have a cheep headset, yeah all the time.
