People are going to buy this.

 

[Red_Machine]

Of course they will. It says Call of Duty on it.

Sadly this is true, I will stay happy with my HS1-A's for 1/3 the price.

Im going to market call of duty condoms.... I will own you all!

I often wonder about people that buy game-branded hardware. Apart from, perhaps, WoW, hardware nearly always outlasts a game's hype or popularity. Especially hardware like headphones or mice or keyboards.

You must be a serious fanboy to buy this sort of crap.

I think the flaw in your plan is that the target market that would buy CoD branded gear ... probably doesn't intersect with the target market that has a big need for condoms.

Sad but true.

Not to insinuate battle feild players are better. .. . .

I remember in the 90s when Turtle Beach went bust. And now, with $299 for a headset, and marketing copy fail, they will go bust again. Probably before Xmas.

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

they will go bust again. Probably before Xmas.

I kinda doubt that.

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I don't get the naming. The most expensive is Delta, then Bravo, Charlie and finally Foxtrot.

Gimicky multi speaker 'surround' headphones never really sounded that good compared to one that has a large thumping drivers. If youd want 3d positioning, most of modern soundcards today do it accurately via software that would make those real headphones become 3d position capable
