Yeh, it's weird having no info available on the headset bundle. I'm getting the wireless 7.1 digital headset soon, and would love to know whether I should grab it now for bonus gear. While looking though, I came across some of what the new PS3 Dust bundle has. "Included with this PlayStation 3 bundle is a promotional code for your personal DUST 514 ordinance pack containing a 7-day active skill booster, a permanent Armored Personnel Carrier, an assortment of digital items, and 2,000 Aurum to spend on in-game gear, weapons and equipment." http://store.sony.com/p/PS3-250GB-UNCHARTED-3-Game-of-the-Year-Bundle/en/p/PS399106 Other than the the Armored Personnel Carrier, which sounds great(or is it just an LAV), it doesn't seem like alot that a buyer is getting unless there's more BPOs not mentioned. Either way, it really makes me appreciate my MAG merc pack.

Ah right. Haha, it shows how much I've looked at vehicles on the market by the fact I though the golden LAV was just an aurum variant like the gold dropsuit ones. There goes the image I had of a proper Dust APC.
Yeh, I don't understand why they have the MAG scout suit BPO for sale yet none of the others. Is it because introducing those BPOs has been recently calculated to gain money now but potentially lose them larger sales in the future. My having a type-I suit BPO outfitted with militia BPOs means that I've very little reason to need to buy more aurum than was in the merc pack. I still have ~10,000 left, and UVTs are the only thing that I need it for now. The ISK I earn has me outfitted really well when I want to run with my best gear. Still, they should at least allow you and the rest of the beta testers to get them.

Skill boosters, unless you've 100% capped your character skills boosters and UVTs are going to be continued AUR sinks (even tho the value of the booster has been reduced by the current SP cap system in CODEX) I've stopped using boosters, so it's just UVTs. Once the game goes to full release even these should be available for ISK. |

Once the game goes to full release even these should be available for ISK. You do know the booster is applied on top of the cap right? Yep. I just don't intend on buying boosters every week. I'll more than likely buy future packs, like the merc pack I have, and if they leave me with spare aurum, I'll treat myself. But I'm not buying aurum purely for boosters. I'll get enough SP every week to keep me advanced enough to have fun and hold my own. |

Out of a mixture of interest/boredom I made a few calls to see if I could find out what the Dust voucher with the headset bundle consisted of. First stop was Sony. Haha, I was told that they couldn't tell me anything as it was the retailer that would have the information not them. Bull****. Next I got onto HMV Ireland and even though the bundle was never sold here, I was told that HMV have discontinued it. I've just sent a email to Dust support, so here's hoping we can get to the bottom of this soon. |

I've still got no reply to my email that I sent to support. I think there's a bit more than a beta key though. At the moment there's a blue tooth headset bundle, a stereo 7.1 digital surround headset bundle, and a wireless keyboard bundle. The keyboard bundle has on the front of the box "Includes voucher for exclusive DUST 514 content on the PS3". http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-Wireless-Keyboard-Voucher/dp/B009VUPA6O/ref=pd_sim_sbs_vg_h__1/279-0155805-9255212 What do ye think? |

I've already rang Sony, who told me that they couldn't tell me what the voucher was and to ask the company the package was put together for, CCP, who haven't replied to my email. And I'm not bothered at the moment setting up an Amazon account so I can ask anyone viewing the page a question that they will most likely have themselves. I might do it tomorrow. |

The Sony headset promotion for example is not currently available in NA. " Haha, Ty Borg wanted to know what is in the voucher, not in what regions the headset offer is being offered... This has me even more interested in what the bundle is. CCP have read the posts and must know that it not where it's on offer that we want to know, but what's in it. Ah, I might bite the bullet and grab one next week. I want the headset anyway. |
