PS4 won’t support voice chat via existing headsets

4.4

Existing Bluetooth headsets won’t work with the PlayStation 4, apparently, and even USB jobbies won’t be compatible until after launch.

The news comes via GameInformer, which received its information directly from Sony. According to the platform holder, existing headsets just won’t work for voice chat on the PS4 – not even the Sony Pulse or official PS3 accessories.

A system update issued sometime after the PS4′s launch will make it compatible with current USB headsets, but existing Bluetooth headsets are not supported at all.

Presumably, new, PS4-friendly first- and third-party headsets will be released at or close to the console’s launch – but that’s no comfort for those who’ve recently splashed out on a new headset that won’t work with their new hardware.

It’s worth noting that the PS4 comes bundled with a mono headset, so you won’t be left with no option for voice chat at all.

The PS4 launches in November.

There was no need to make a new post every time you make a typo...

Almost as pointless as making an entire post just to point that out after posting right before???

FriskyPanda this why PS4 sucks the fattest turd that i have ever pooped out. Xbox ftw Microsoft has a good increasing stock and sony's has dropped hmm.

You are such a troll man, try using your current 360 headset on the xbone and tell me how that works out for ya bud

now why would i use my 360 headset for my xbox one? hmm lets see because microsoft is giving us one in the box. **** *****

Do you read what you type before you actually hit submit? I could give a computer to Helen Keller and she would be able to type out something that makes more sense than the nonsense you spew...

So you're saying you'd rather get a new mono headset that comes in the box than say a pair of turtle beaches you've been using. Or buy a new headset for $60+ either you're a spoiled kid or a rich middle aged man with the vocabulary of a 4th grader.

I'm wondering if this is directed to me seeing as I haven't said anything that would lead ANYONE to believe I'm a "spoiled kid or a rich middle aged man with the vocabulary of a 4th grader" and if I am I would absolutely love for you to show me...

My bad, after seeing one of you comments on another page I'm pretty sure it's directed toward him. I've been dealing with too many trolls lately, they've been keeping me on edge with their never-ending amount of stupidity.

Both consoles will be good, but their are waaaaay too many idiots on both sides that just bug me to no end.
