Overpriced MGS4 Branded Bluetooth Headset is Real

Pictures of a supposed Metal Gear Solid 4 branded Bluetooth headset had been floating around the web, but most people cast it off as being a Photoshopped image. Turns out, the headset is popping up in retail databases in both Europe and the US, as well as in the catalog of PDP.
While I think it looks pretty cool, $60 for a Bluetooth headset whose quality is highly suspect doesn’t really induce impulses to buy one. A carrying case, eight hours of talk time and a 30 foot range all sound nice, but product descriptions and actual performance are two very different things.

If the sound quality is good, I’ll definitely buy it. Anything to represent my geekdom!
How is $60 overpriced? That is what the 360 wireless headset (which I have and think is a lot better then the wired one that comes in with the 360) is (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=61048). it doesn’t even come in black for all the people that have elites either(I have one).
But I will be buying one for my PS3. I’ve been wanting to get a headset so why not one that has to do with MGS4. I hope the sound quality is good.
Because it’s $60 for what is presumably a $15 Bluetooth headset.
And don’t get me started on the 360 wireless headset. That thing is notoriously crappy when it comes to any sort of quality.
