Plantronics and Xbox.com have teamed up for a promotion where you can purchase a Plantronics Halo 2 headset for only US$14.95. That is WAY cheaper then anything else out there...and a portion of the purchase price (US$1) goes to the United Way. Why not pick up two at that price?
[Details on Xbox.com]
sweet
yea great..
Prey demo. Thats wat we want. thats wat we were promised. deliver.
This is kind of cool, but personally I don't care about it.
Please, at least give us a substantial update on the Prey demo. You HAVE to know SOMETHING about it, you're in charge of Xbox Live for Christ's sake!
its a nice headset...and the volume/mute issue with the 360 can be solved via the guide (although very clumsy) - but is this offer available in the UK???...
...I'm guessing not
What about the Prey demo?
looks like they dont ship to the UK :(
ahh well, thanks for the heads up anyway
For the person that said you 'couldn't mute or adjust the volume'....
That is true with just the headset. However, Datel came out with a piece that matches the volume/mute control on the 360 headset.
It's just a few bucks and it plugs into your controller, and then the other headset plugs into it.

Major i am going to put in a petition to MS to get you to respond to the Prey demo delay. You are not saying anything. What are you good for.
WOW (not World of Warcraft :-) )!!!
You guys are creepy what the hell is so great about the prey demo that you keep demanding for it... I played it on pc woopiedi doo go play another game on the 360.
DancingJesus are you dumb. We want to know whats going on, the demo is beside the point. Customer service is key here.
costomer service...there is abiously something wrong with the demo or with xbox live, its not like they are holding it back or hiding it to create more hype (remembering the whole area-51 consperacy).
Guys all i can say it the pc demo is sweet you can download it form prey.com
Wow that's a great deal, thanks for the heads-up. I've had one of these headsets since they came out and it's still going strong. I just ordered 2 for less than it would cost to get one of the new Xbox 360 Plantronics headsets, and that includes shipping.
kool to bad it wasnt halo 3 print or graw that would sell better i know it cost to make new graphics but hay its all for the better right??
Major please just tell us how you are in charge of live and you know nothing. It blows my mind. I am being serious if you explained the process many would get off your back.
Jeeze... talk about how seriously off topic you people can be.
1, The prey demo isn't all that hot. I've played the PC one.
2, Its NOTHING to do with Microsoft so stop moaning at them and especially Major Nelson as hes doing a great job. He's commenting and posting news even when he was on holiday.
3, You guys should be happy for what we do get. The marketplace was very much a new thing for gaming in general. Yes picture packs and themes are expensive and things do get delayed but so what? Just please deal with it.
PS: GRAW content was waaay too expensive ;)
Oh please, people. Stop asking about the demo. That doesn't even remotely come close to what the Major is talking about. He's talking about a fundraiser for Katrina victims. You guys are talking about when you can get a free demo for your own selfish selves. Please keep this stuff elsewhere.
In any event, I think I'll pick one up now. The price is right now, and it's for a good cause, so why not?
Thanks for all that you do major. There are those of us who check the site everyday and appreciate you giving us a heads up when you can, after all, you don't have to. -for people leaving these idiotic posts - go somewhere else if you don't like the information you get here. again thanks for filling us in major. keep up the good work.
you know why can't everything in life be cool like this, that's a great price and the fact that some money goes to the United Way just makes me feel good.
I wish everything could be that cool... we would have probably cured cancer by now if a percent (US$1)of all things we purchased went to good causes instead of just going to taxes.
Could you just see it now, just 1 dollar could change the world... so sad no one has ever noticed that.
