For Playstation 4 Owners, Bad News On USB, Bluetooth Headsets

Posted by timothy on from the when-toys-can't-play-together dept.

itwbennett writes "Until now Sony has done a pretty good job of keeping future Playstation 4 owners happy. But last week they finally hit a rock when Game Informer posted an article about headset compatibility. At launch, USB headsets that work with the PS3 won't work with the PS4. Sony says that eventually there will be a system update that addresses the problem but for now, even your Sony-branded USB headset won't work. If you use a Bluetooth headset (as most PS3 owners do) the news is even worse. Bluetooth headsets will not be supported and no update is planned to address this. ITworld's Peter Smith is shedding a tear for his $250 Turtle Beach PX5 headset."

    My bluetooth won't work. My USB won't work. That's sucks. But I got first post. So I got that going for me.

    USB, the only rectangular connector that takes 3 attempts to connect properly.
