![]() On the Xbox front, the knot of cables moves up to the user’s end as the headset’s in-line controller connects to the console’s controller via the aforementioned Xbox LIVE communication cable. Each of the included optical cables is fairly short, and to communicate on the PS3, you’ll also have to negotiate the USB cord. Though be warned, you may feel the onset of a headache reconfiguring your media station if you plan to switch between consoles using the headset. Setup is easy for any who’ve plugged their console into a television, since you’re only audio-in option is with the optical connection.

Designed to work in conjunction with the HD consoles, the package comes with everything you need regardless of the hardware camp you’re in: a pair of 3-foot optical cables, an Xbox LIVE communication cable, a standard series A-to-B USB cable, and a power adapter. That said, unless you’re desperate to show off your love of Black Ops, there isn’t much of a need to dole out the extra cash ($199.99) for the stylized version of the AX Pro 720 ($129.99) but for those not on the surround sound headset train, this limited edition, GameStop exclusive is a contemplative introductory set.

As an esthetically themed version of Tritton’s AX 720 headset (AX Pro), the Black Ops SKU doesn’t add much to the package for the increased price tag save for a Call of Duty-emblazoned carrying case and hardware, and an ornamental box any superfan would be proud to display.

Once only a market of lunch boxes and action figures, licensed products are reaching out to bigger, more expensive commodities. As their production costs start to meet and supersede those of many films, ROI becomes an important buzzphrase for publishers.
