Door slechte ervaringen met controllers uit het PlayStation 1 tijdperk heb ik het nooit meer zo gehad op de hardware van MadCatz. Maar nu ze zijn gaan samenwerken met Microsoft om de eerste 7.1 Surround Headset voor de Xbox 360 onder de naam Tritton's Detonator uit te brengen, kan dit bedrijf me jeugd trauma misschien verzachten. Dit weekeinde is bekend gemaakt dat deze Headset nu verscheept word in Amerika voor de prijs van nog geen $80. Nu is natuurlijk de grote vraag: Komt deze ook naar Europa toe?? Want ik weet wel zeker er voor dit product een grote markt is.

Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. ("Mad Catz") (AMEX/TSX: MCZ) announced today the shipping of the Detonator Stereo Headset, the world's first official co-branded gaming headset designed for use with the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. In addition, the Detonator is compatible with a wide range of MP3 players, cell phones and audio devices.

"Releasing a co-branded range of headsets has enabled us to offer an enticing feature set and quality audio which we are certain will appeal to the passionate gamer this holiday season."
