Turtle Beach Elite 800 Fully Wireless Gaming Headset for the PlayStation®4 is Now in Stores
Why this has piqued our Interest The Headset choices for this generation of consoles has been a bit on the slim side now though Turtle Beach have come out swinging with their newest headset. On the face of it the headset looks very strong but it is the promotional offer they have attached that really peaks some interest. Bob Picunko, Chief Marketing Officer at Turtle Beach Corporation explains;“The Turtle Beach Elite Membership Program is a unique offering for tournament professionals and competitive gamers, We look forward to providing members with one-of-a-kind opportunities and special benefits.” (More details about the program below) This kind of promotion could draw players with aspirations of joining the pro circuit and could create a new wave of gaming merchandising. The big question is how long until we see Pro gaming shirts in Sports shops? |
