Gamers and retailers have not been the only ones scrambling for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Gaming accessory makers have also been eager to get a slice of the MGS4 pie.

A month ago, we posted a leaked sales sheet for a new Bluetooth headset that's set to be released as a tie-in for the game. Accessory maker Pelican has apparently been working with Konami for quite a bit on the new headset, and now we're finally able to see actual shots of the product.

Nothing's really changed from the pics included in the sales sheet, but these new pre-production images do show off more of the MGS4 Bluetooth headset. Note that these are pre-production images, so if you spot anything wrong with the finish, those would most likely be fixed on the final product.

The headset will launch June 12 for US$ 59.99. It's costly, but it sure does look sweet. Check out the images below.

Good luck, at that price!!!

I'm just wondering how many people actually stick these things in their ears for gaming! My friends and I route the sound through the TV so we can use headphones comfortably, rendering the headsets and mics only.

Looks nice though.

But I have problems with these types of headsets like my voice would always cut out and it would be harder to hear people. I switched to a USB headset and everything was fine so I really have no need to get a bluetooth headset again (especially cause I don't sit that far away from the PS3 anyways).

it's ugly as hell but since is only for gaming for me it's fine and it works more than perfect believe me. Another note, don't use a motorola one for the ps3 pls.
