I'm guessing you can use your existing one anyway.


The One controller features a proprietary connector. So, no, you won't be able to use your old headsets.




Microsoft wants players to use the Kinect for voice chat during games. It seems to work well enough when you're alone, but I'm curious to see how functional the Kinect will be when others are in the room. The Kinect is intelligent enough to only accept voice input from the individual with the controller in his hands, but how would the player selectively determine which audio they want to transmit when they speak?

Perhaps one of the contextual buttons on the controller cold be used to enable voice input for the Kinect via a press and hold mechanic.

Turtle beach needs to get off their arse and make an adapter. Which would totally go against the correct business model.

They're a bit rapey with the push for everything Kinect.

screw that.

I hated that shite with the few voice chat games on Wii and I hate it on PS3 when the voices are coming through the TV instead of a headset.



but not a shock they would do this.

Microsoft is the king is nickle and diming people. We are talking about the company that didn't put WiFi in every XBox360.
