Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, today announced that it would release Bluetooth installed Wireless Headset for Playstation 3 on October 30th, 2008, in Japan at a recommended retail price of 5,000 yen (including tax).

With this new Wireless Headset, users will be able to enjoy the most immersive on-line communication on new software titles supporting on-line chat feature, such as Socom: Confrontation  which is available on October 30th, Resistance 2 available on November 13th, and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift available this autumn, all from Sony Worldwide Studios.

Offering simple operation and accessible voice chat on PS3, this sleek and compact Wireless Headset is an ear hook type headset, designed to fit either ear. Installed with Bluetooth, it pairs automatically with PS3 by simply using the bundled USB cable. The inner ear phone speaker of the new Headset along with the noise cancelling feature when in High Quality mode delivers stable, superior sound.

Additionally, the bundled cradle can be used to charge the battery which will allow maximum of eight hours of voice chat when fully charged. While the Headset is connected to PS3, it will support on-screen indicator showing the headset connection status, battery charge level, and other things like speaker volume level and microphone mute status at a push of a button.

The headset looks almost exactly like the one that will come bundled with Socom when it is released in the US and Europe later this year, so no-one on this side of the water should worry about missing out.
