The PS3 is getting an official Bluetooth headset with SOCOM: Confrontation this fall. The game will be bundled this this pretty little deal which is specifically made for gaming. The headset looks much better than what came with Warhawk.
There’s a mute button on the side of the headset, which should server very well for gaming use (most Bluetooth headsets don’t have this feature). No pricing has been set, but you’ll be able to buy it separately if you don’t want to pick up the game bundle. I’m guessing it’ll be included with the game at $60 and you’ll probably be able to pick it up for around $30. We’ll see how it goes when September rolls around. More pics after the jump.

So there is a guy out there in the world who knows how to turn a Wii remote into a cheap electronic Whiteboard system for any Bluetooth enabled laptop or PC. Basically the Wii’s remote is a Bluetooth device with four infrared cameras inside of it. Therefore, the remote can be used as a IR tracking device for any device in the view of the remote.
Mr Lee shows you how to turn a pen into a IR LED mouse for this purpose. All you need is his software from his site on CNET Asia (and its free…hooyeah)! Click for the video.

Ummm, so I guess wireless now has a new meaning? To mean, wireless means you don’t have to plug anything in. The PS3 version of Guitar Hero III must have a different definition. The game requires you to plug in a USB dongle to use the wireless guitars. Not the most ideal situation.
For whatever reason, the game’s guitar controllers don’t take advantage of the PS3’s built in Bluetooth. I’m not sure if it’s a technical issue or if Activision just wanted to use RF instead. Either way, you’ll have to live with the dongles if you’re picking up this game for PS3.
