[quote name='LeonSKennedy']Correct me, but why would I want to hear idiots I play with constantly talking about anything but the game we're competing against online? It's almost the equivalent of encouraging everyone at a movie to turn their cell phones on when it starts.
I've never had a single good experience using a microphone/headset playing online, and I don't think I ever will. While the concept makes sense, idiot gamers ruin it for the rest of us. Even if I had a headset, I'd just end up muting it, so there's no point in me spending even 1 cent on one. In fact, I bought my Xbox 360 Slim 6 plus months ago, yet still have not used the free headset included with it.[/QUOTE]
Ever heard of xbox live party chat? You can't hear anyone outside of your party,and you can choose who gets in your party. People mainly buy mic/headsets to chat with their friends, not with random idiots.
