I picked mine up for 29.99 from a local game store (EB GAMES) and let me tell you.... awsome comfort awsome sound and best of all hugely durable.. u can move the mic in any direction because it is made out of rubber not plastic like the other mics... farther away from face closer... up down wherever u want its the ultimate headset in sound and comfort.
Next up is the chair... this is no ordinary chair and you have to be carefull because some are more comfortable than others u dont wanna end up paying 50 bucks for a chair that u can only sit in for an hour and u get up sore... shop around i personally got mine from walmart for 50 bucks after looking at kmart and oddlots at other ones... u may be asking why a chair? like i said this is no ordinary chair.. mine is called the VROCKER it has AMAZING SOUND compared to a normal tv hands down 1000000pct difference the vrocker has movie theater sound with 3 speakers one on left one on right and one nice bass speaker hidden in the bottom of the chair.. not only do you hear gunshots that sound like real gunshots but its movie theater sound and you can feel the vibration as you shoot or are being shot apon... only drawback like i said is some of them are not hugely comfortable you have to be picky.. heres the info on one of the smaller ones these chairs range form 50-100 dollars but usuallly u can pick one up for 30-50 bucks at walmart or ebay... this is the info for the original vrocker most now have a bit larger speakers built in..

Controller: Ok now i'm personally not going to get into this one.. because for socom ca your lucky if you can get really any controller to work properly with the game excluding the ps2 original controllers and a few logitechs... but if you still play socom 3 and want to see an awsome controller check out the controllers with the built in fans utterly hilarious not to expensive and for those of us whose palms sweat... makes you feel rich having a controller that keeps ur palms cool... but like i said not gonna get to far into it because most of us are stuck with regular ps2 controller now with ca or one of the rare logitechs that work.
Last but not least this is my baby.. extremly rare amoung gamers but wow what an experience it is if you try it one time you willl remember it ... mine was made by sony .. anyhow they are called virtual reality goggles.. they are very rare very hard to find and a bit pricey these days due to the fact that now they are linked with ipods... it improves your game 300 fold no distractions side to side basically you are directly in the game 1on1 u and socom these are a bit pricey tho i got them for my 21st birthday a while back and originally used them to watch movies on then later for halo and tony hawk and such now socom from time to time.. the only drawback on these is they cause a little bit of strain on the eyes if you use them for to long its kinda like being in a movie then walking out and the sun blinds you when u take these off... this is not a product for people with vision problems for it will only hurt ur eyes if you use them to much.. like i said this item is only good in moderation i.e. an hour or 2 then take a break.. like i said a bit pricey running from 50-300 dollars i personally got mine for 75 but i haggled a bit with the person who was selling them on ebay for 100..anyhow heres the info......on a popular pair today .. compatible with ps2,xbox .. basically anything... when searching for them on ebay i usually put in virtual goggles or reality goggles or something along those lines....heres the info
