Not sure, but smyths ROI have it for €25 I think, with a 10€ voucher (35 without) so i'd get it in smyths.

I got one yesterday for 19.99 with the 10 euro voucher listed elsewhere http://www.toys.ie/Special_Offers_Discount.aspx
Not sure if its the offical one its a Gioteck EX-01 Bluetooth Headset, its rechargeable and works fine was playing GTA4 with some friends last night and it worked fine. Good build quality on it so worth the 20 notes.

Have a BLuetooth headset already, but barely works,so it's the official one or nothing

I was in HMV yesterday, looking for one and they didn't have any. The guy at the till also said that they had none on there system, even.

Will try game and see if they have any.

I rang a couple of places yesterday and today and it would seem that it hasn't been released over in ROI yet. It is most definitely out in the UK, you can even buy it on the game.co.uk website. I might wander in to Smyths for something to do, but I think I'll have to wait

My nokia bluetooth headset works fine. Unless the Sony one is particularly cheap, just get a different headset.

Liamario

It is 25 euro and it is the best one on the market. I'm not looking for a nokia one, or even a tesco one. :rolleyes:

This is what the official headset looks like:
I saw a few in Game on Dawson St last week. I was told they were €40. Mymemory.co.uk have them for £20.95 (Free P&P), but they're out of stock at the moment.

Thats the one. Very difficult to find. I ended up ordering one from Videogameplus.ca Typically, as soon as it arrives, I won't be able to look anywhere without seeing one. :rolleyes:

Im heading to Dublin this weekend so might have a look in Game sure!

Smyths / Argos / Zavvi / HMV etc dont stock them do they?

So did you find out if it is in stock in many shops in Ireland yet.. I have been looking online there for a while but no joy

Very hard to find here and in NI. I bought one in Game in Lisburn SC for 24stg. Searched a few stores in and around Lisburn and nobody else had it. That included HMV and Toys R us. Friend has lucked out in Newry also.

It is genuinly very good. Connects easily and you can use it with your phone also in a different mode (if that takes your fancy). Very easy on the ear and comfortable. It seems to have a long battery life between charges.

I asked Gamestop in Newbridge for a possible price and they told me about £45.

Might remain high before Xmas but you can be sure it will drop with competition afterwards when sales have proven very poor in general.

giggsy664

Gamestop pavilions sc swords have it.

I'm looking to pick one of these up this week in Dublin.

Any recommended outlets?

I don't want to go online cos I've read that there's been some problems with these, despite the good quality sound etc.

curryman

Gamestop Henry st have them but they are €40

Snake Plisken

most sony centres have them I picked mine up in Blanch Sony Centre, I've had no issue with it so far.

A friend of mine recently got one of these and it has issues, out put volume being too low etc.

A quick google will show that it seems to be a big issues with a hell of a lot of people with it.

Something to do with pairing it with USB instead of bluetooth. Anyway, just a warning.

So whats the story with these? I was wanting to get a new headset cos the one I haveis on the way out. Is it worth 40 notes or am I just going to have grief with it? Comments please...............:pac:

ferrigan101

Ok, bought 1 today, paired it through the usb and seems to work fine. Happy bunny.

Just keep a close eye on it though Ferrigan because I thought mine was wroking fine too that is until my friend told me that my volume was too low. Random people you're playing on the net might not tell you.
As a test, go into the accesory settings and speak into the mic. If you have paired the mic via usb and and the volume doesn't go past the blue section then you are having the same problem as me, and alot of other people for that matter.

unless i'm mistaken you can get the official sony headset with a game called socom and it's something like 40-50 euro

(haven't bought it from here , so i dunno)

In Galway you can get them in gamestop and game, 40e though, much cheaper on play.com but it never seems to be in stock.
