So I'm thinking of getting a wireless controller for the Xbox the problem with that is they don't have the module plugin thingie on the controller, it's attached to the base station that plugs into the xbox. This makes the whole voice over IP feature for live pretty much go away. Unless I had a wireless headset that I could plug into the base station. Xbox uses a pretty standard headset (the kind with a minijack used on most Nokias), does anyone know if they even make wireless headsets for nokia phones?

Let me add something, under a 100 bucks... I found a few bluetooth wireless deals but they are over 250 bucks, which is way too rich for my blood

Awesome... I just ordered it, we'll see how good it works, thanks.

Oops I spoke too soon, get this these guys expect me to pay 28 dollars to "get it now" which takes 7 business days... or the regular shipping (3 to 5 weeks) for 15... making it over 100 bucks with the adaptor I need. They claim this is the actual price of shipping, I somehow doubt it.

I've been sitting here looking for a while... couldn't find any reviews on the one listed above that wanted to rape you on shipping. The Jabra with 2.5mm looks like the best one so far but it's a little on the pricey side (found em on ebay for 117 new, they are cheaper if you don't get the 2.5mm adapter), the cheapest one so far has been the one above but with no reviews I'm a bit leary.

Cool, just went to circuit city and picked up the plantronics bluetooth headset, it's not as feature rich as the Jabra, however it serves my needs perfectly and it was 99 bucks. Just played mech assault for over an hour and it performed flawlessly.... I saw another at circuit city (technozone) that came with the 2.5 plugin and a USB deal to connect to your computer but that was 179 bucks...
