Yeah, I know. No complaints there and that was a big issue with Sony that people had to purchase their own, but of course they weren't thinking about that part of gaming in the slightest and had to learn how to adapt. MS knows better and in the past they weren't giving away the headset with the console. It was after the unboxing it was revealed that they also pulled a 180 on the headset.

I am shocked that you think Sony gets a pass for not including a headset but MS "should have known better". Also, we all know the Xbone now includes a headset. My post was directed at your line of thinking that MS only decided to include a headset thanks to "Sony's influence". I simply wasn't sure if you were aware that you could go out today and buy a MS console that does in fact come with a headset. Your post suggested otherwise.

Also, if MS's decision to include a headset was purely reactionary to Sony's headset, I think the headset they included would be more along the lines of what Sony is offering. aka something that looks like I'd be throwing in the trash and upgrading to a real headset with day one.

I never said Sony gets a pass, who gave them a pass? I am saying MS on that front should continue the boxing method because much like Nintendo introduced games via bundling process they bundled headsets to give console gamers the experience PC gamers always get. They pull a 180 on the headset no doubt. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all of it, but when it all piles up it has to irk a person somewhat, especially when that brand is your primary. Again, Sony never got a pass at all, in fact its one of the things no one could ever argue in Sonys defense in an argument about the pros and cons abou the 360 vs the PS3.
