Well, if like me you've been pondering whether to get the regular Rainbow Six 3, or go for the headset version (despite having the official Live one) then you'll probably know time is running out to decide. The headset pack will be a limited edition so if not preordered it could be hard to get hold of (depending on where you live).
I'm relying on a certain online retailer, so I decided to search the internet for info.
Apparently the headset is just a rebranded and reworked PC one, but this is not necessarily a bad thing because PC manufacturers have had longer to play about with them than Microsoft has with their Xbox one. Microsoft also have no commercial competition to drive their designing process.
Anyway, I came across this short, concise review about the headset:
"The headset are really for those of us who cannot stand that so called communication device that live comes with. A behind the neck (adjustable) neckband, an oversized earpiece for those of us who want the comfort of something that really fits over the ear not just centers on it, in line volume and mute control. The voice commands for this game are incredible and can be used with the regular live communicator. This particular headset offers better noise cancellation features for better voice recognition."
It made my mind up for me instantly so I've posted it here in case it does likewise for other people.

If you want a new headset just phone up Xbox Live customer support, they sent me a new one free when I snapped mine.
This Rainbow Six 3 looks a bit bulky to be honest.

OK, so to clarify:
- The headset that comes with Rainbow Six 3 is better than the Official one, yes?
- The headset that comes with Rainbow Six 3 works with Xbox Live, yes?
Yes? No? Or perhaps....

An individual headset will cost £20, so getting it with the game is much better idea, especially at Amazon where the game+headset can be found for just under £40 with free delivery.
And before any staffies moan, HHAT told them there was this version of the game with the headset but it's not even listed on SR's system, hence you cannot buy it from here if you wanted to.

I might buy this game. I dont have a headset, cause im on 2 month trial. So could be handy.
