The headset will actually feature customisable ear cup “Glyphs” to identify your faction along with programmable LEDs so your mum can better appreciate the Horde’s power as it burns a bright red into her eyes.

With a promised focus on comfort, the Mac and PC wireless headset will stream uncompressed audio while a (surely cheaper) wired headset will manage the same feat with a cord. And while the specs sound nice (pun intended), the headsets seem to lack true surround sound capabilities. So hopefully they’ll be priced accordingly. [Creative via Fareastgizmos]

I’ve generally found that the only people who get to enjoy pay-per-view entertainment on Foxtel (or Austar and Optus) are those who like watching grown men fight with eachother (boxing) or pretend to fight with eachother (professional wrestling). Now a third group of people are being catered for: the gaming geek.

Main Event is broadcasting Blizzard’s annual conference, BlizzCon 2008 over two days in October. And while I personally can’t justify $30 over two days to watch stuff I can read on Kotaku, I’m sure there’s plenty of you guys who will thoroughly enjoy the experience. Plus, if you buy both days, you get some weird polar bear thing (WOW isn’t my thing, I’m afraid).

So the question needs to be asked: how many of you guys are thinking about buying this? Even if it’s just for the cosplay?
