Definitely looks like something's a-cookin' behind the development kitchen of Slant Six's SOCOM: Confrontation. Over at the PlayStation Blog, David "Point Man" Brothers posted some very curious pictures and video from Sony's Media Day held last Tuesday outside of Las Vegas.

The guys had fun, of course, going out into the desert. But it didn't matter how much gunshots they heard that day. They certainly did not hear wrong when SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALS Confrontation was mentioned, along with the official Bluetooth Headset for the PS3.

Say what? Yes, a Bluetooth Headset for the PS3. For SOCOM. Sounds delish, right? This Headset exclusively for the PS3 will actually be featuring a mute button, thus setting apart from other "regular" bluetooths. Imagine the strategies you can exploit with the silence! No more heavy breathings over headphones, or unnecessary diagetic sounds going on around. Just pure plain mute when needed.

Apart from that thank-God feature, it will also come with a charging cradle, which can be plugged into any USB port. That saves a lot of hassle properly charging the Bluetooth, plus, now you won't have to lose it.

But the good news ain't done spilling! It was also at the same event that present media folks got a glance of the Quarantine stage. Interested? Then just check out this clip below. That should speak for itself even on mute.

We'll keep you posted on more details regarding this brazilliant accessory, so just keep it right here.

Thanks to ISOHaven for the heads up!

No more heavy breathing. Its funny as hell when people use their mic and it sound like they just ran a lap around their house xD.

The MGS4 headset has a mute feature as well. I'm just wondering if this Socom mic will be a noise canceling one.

You left out that it has 2 hi-fi mics built in it for noise canceling and when on the cradle charging it becomes a direction microphone so you dont miss out when your battery dies on ya.
