Updated Xbox 360 peripherals coming this November
The Xbox 360 started off only available in white. Later they offered the 'Elite' model which came in black. Now we have a redesigned model, the Xbox 360 S, which comes in a shiny black finish. Some peripherals have not been updated to match this new finish and it only seems right to have matching peripherals, you aren't an animal are you?
A little while back Microsoft added a wireless racing wheel to its peripheral line up and now they are adding a few more things. First is a brand new headset that, of course, comes in the shiny black finish. This headset boasts Xbox 360 chatting capability but also has Bluetooth connectivity. So you could connect to a PC or a cell phone, perhaps an iPhone or maybe even a PS3. I haven't seen reports to the contrary. The PS3 is capable of utilizing any normal Bluetooth headset so why not this one? It'll be out in early November and run you $59.99.
They are also updating their media remote which previously featured a white finish and big-squishy buttons. The new remote features the new shiny black finish and looks really slick. It includes all the buttons you'd find on a Xbox 360 controller and also has a 'Live TV' button to be used with the upcoming dashboard update. You might need one less remote in rotation as this new remote allows you to control TV volume, power and input controls. The remote also hits stores in November for $19.99.
