PS4 won’t support voice chat via existing headsets
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.

All you console fangirls need to realise they're near enough the same and PC is sounding better and better!
You have your opinion. Others don't want to spend $1,000's of a computer.
"$1000's of a computer."
I think your parents need to spend a couple thousand dollars on an English tutor for you.
Anyways here's how it is.
Smart/rich gamers are willing to save up/spend money for a decent/high end PC because PCs are obviously better, but more expensive.
Poor/technologically handicapped people are going to stick to console because they don't feel like saving money, or don't understand how much better a PC is.
In the end I'm rocking out on my PC with TWO monitors (can ps3/ps4/xbox 360/xbox one do that? no) that have a resolution of 1440p.
And you don't seem to understand a thing about PC gaming. $500 can build you a PC to play any game out right now on normal settings. Which surpasses console graphics by far.
$500 can't get you anything better than the next gen consoles unless you can build your own which 75% of people cant. Lol
pulling numbers out of no where? its like learning to drive. Once you learn and know how its just muscle memory
I spent 500$ on my PC, I built it and I'm 14. Not exactly the hardest thing in the world to do..
My PC surpasses any console graphics, sure it has it downs but mostly on very intensive games.
PC MASTER RACE..
Jesus **** Christ just shut the **** up about which one is better, they are opinions damnit and don't you have. Anything better to do with your time than hate on a gaming console. Besides who cares what we like just **** off and play your ***** ass computer.
Don't mind me just continuing the line here.....

Kronnoc Existing Bluetooth headsets won't work? Great. No seriously, this is great news. The Bluetooth headsets for the PlayStation 3 were beyond terrible. Speaking of which, never buy a Bluetooth headset.
I'm guessing you were one of the cheap asses who bought a 3rd party Bluetooth headset.

Well that all depended on what kind of Bluetooth you were using lol

i don't care if its PC Xbox or PlayStation, as long as it plays games im there, graphics doesnt matter as long as i love the game, still have my n64 and i play the original zelda on it and the original Mario karts

Frog Well, that's a win for the Xbox as some of there old headsets will work with the Xbox One apparently :)
It really depends on what kind of headsets people have, if they have usb headsets they just have to wait a couple days for the free update where xbox you have to buy an adapter
