Headset Confirmed for Brawl!

[Rodzilla]

Yes, you heard correctly, SSBB will have a headset included with the purchase of the game. This was confirmed by an employee at Gamestop. He told me this was some "inside" information, and that the headset wasn't going to be used again until Mario Kart for the Wii comes out.

 

[TMS]

I have a hard time believing this.

 

[Coselm]

That's cool.

The only "insider" information I've ever gotten was that Epona will be an assist trophy.

You must know a cool Gamestop. The Gamestops near me are all garbage. I went there and they didn't even know if Brawl was having a midnight release.

 

[Shiny Pidgey]

Considering we're not allowed to use a name or the probably pre-curse filtered taunts online, I have a VERY hard time believing they would give us voice chat.

 

[cswright]

hwhaaaat? sure? thats cool

 

[WarxePB]

So trolls exist in real life too, eh?

I wouldn't believe this unless I saw the headset for myself.

 

[Flaming Dragon Wang]

I'm calling bullsh*t on that.

 

[Oh Gibdo]

I'll believe it when it comes from a true source.

 

[DarkSpidey13]

you should change your thread title to "Non-credible Headset Rumor!"

 

[samgamereviews]

If thats true then I can't wait! The only problem is that my online connection sucks so I won't use online that often. Oh well, i'll just deal with it.

 

[bballstar23]

Why does people seem to think that because someone works at Gamestop they have some sort of inside info?

 

[Jumpinjahosafa]

Uhh..

Proof?

 

[Zombieoficer]

Yes, Nintendo gives random teenagers at Gamestop inside information. Completely beleivable.

 

[mista_mista]

nobody will believe this without proof. no offense, but an employee at gamestop is not a very good source of "inside" information

 

[Hmaal]

Can you give us some proof to back up this information before I start Hammering? Please?

 

[Rodzilla]

That's cool.

The only "insider" information I've ever gotten was that Epona will be an assist trophy.

You must know a cool Gamestop. The Gamestops near me are all garbage. I went there and they didn't even know if Brawl was having a midnight release.

The Gamestop that I went to today will have a midnight release and will also host a tournament as well.

 

[Brockman5]

Umm... proof Please!

Thanks a lot...liar..!!!!

 

[Zero_P]

Total BS. We can't have our personal message taunt shown up in "with anyone" why would they give us a headset for voice chat? No, having it for "friends" is just dumb.

 

[shadowyoshi2345]

ummmmm yeah the guy at gamestop told me they had the delay to add A BUNCH of characters, i believed him too

kill yourself

and if it does come with a headset, that would be cool, but i doubt some guy at gamestop would know

 

[Kowz]

I have a hard time believing that for 3 reasons.
1. How would they link the headset for all over the world, or is it just for friends?
2. Wouldn't cost extra?
3. how would they attach it to the box? Or would they sell it seperately?

 

[Rodzilla]

Good thing this guy wasn't a teenager.

 

[Rodzilla]

Umm... proof Please!

Thanks a lot...liar..!!!!

I'm not lying. I'm just telling all of you what the worker said. How in any way was I lying?

 

[Hippochinfat]

This has to be true because gamestop employees never lie.

 

[The Director]

You guys can rip my eyelids off if this is true because I'll be doing nothing but playing Brawl if it is. No time to blink.

...well I'll be doing nothing but playing Brawl as it is, so you might just want to go ahead and rip my eyelids off anyway.

 

[fromia]

IF there were headsets, the cost will not be 6,800 yen, like the commercial said.

 

[5150]

lol this thread is win i love you op

 

[shadowyoshi2345]

2. Wouldn't cost extra?

well the price is set at 6,800 yen which is equal to bout $62 U.S., and considering that all the games cost like $50, could be possible

 

[DiscoShark]

~Sigh. I come here expecting a confirmation of a headset for the Wii with a credible source (IGN, Nintendo, whatever) and I get another "MY FRIEND WHO HAZ TEH CONECTIONS!lol1!11one TOLD ME SO". I should have seen this coming from a mile away, if Sakurai has trouble with names then fat chance he would let us talk to the people we might even KNOW.

 

[phantomphungus]

Why wasn't this locked yet? We all know from experience and rumors that most employees at gamestop tell nothing but utter Bs

 

[cunning]

Good thing this guy wasn't a teenager.

If Gamestop is employing preteens, they're violating some child labor laws.

 

[Brockman5]

No, you have no proof and the employee was lying..

Sorry, but this guy was not my friend. He was just fulfilling his obligations as a Gamestop employee to serve his customers as best he can.

Games like Zelda twilight princess and I think Fire Emblem also cost 6,800 yen at the beginning.

 

[DragonBlade]

Could it be that the cost of Brawl is higher than typical Wii games because it includes a headset? I remember Nintendo explicitly stating that they would not try to push the price of next gen games unlike their competition, but they seemed to have gone back on that with Brawl. It would make sense for it to cost more if there was headset with it though.

 

[Dubyah8r]

Shananagins!!!!!!!!

 

[baheffron]

How would a random gamestop employee know this? BS

 

[JJJ.Brawler]

I wouldn't believe this unless I saw the headset for myself.

QFT. Me neither.

 

[Hmaal]

Someone calls GS and see if it true.

 

[DiscoShark]

Sorry, but this guy was not my friend. He was just fulfilling his obligations as a Gamestop employee to serve his customers as best he can.

That's irrelevant, for someone who obviously is not credited as a valid source to make such a statement that can obviously not be confirmed is nothing short of stupid. So of course you go ahead and believe him. Last time I checked a gamestop employee is in no way obligated to "leak" information to which he can not prove.

It cost me $54.11 to reserve the copy, and the employee told me its coming with a headset, so he would have charged me more if the price was going to be higher.
