My Thoughts!

Everything I needed for the PS3 hookup was included. A USB A/B cord hooks up to the PS3 and the optical sound cord, though short, was fine. I have not checked voice with the PS3, but it sounds good.

The 360 required a sound dongle, which I ordered from a secondary distributor via Amazon for around $10.

My WiFi for the 360 is wonky and I think I discovered the reason. Whenever my wife's PC is off, the WiFi cuts out though we have two other PCs on the router. For whatever reason, it drops the signal. I figured that out last night, but didn't get a chance to test my theory with a friend in Borderlands on the 360 and felt sheepish in trying to chat with JCat since we've never spoken in person before. "Hey, uhh... You wanna talk with me...?" (Awkward pause)

Anyway, so far when it works, the sound is great directionally. The sound is crisp, the bass is a little understated. The headphones are a little heavy, but I wore them for around 2 1/2 hours last night and they didn't hurt my ears.

An expensive trinket to be sure, but a good solution, especially if you don't want to get two different headsets. All I have to do right now is change the optical source from one machine to the other.

Why did you get the ax 720's over the Ax Pros? Couldn't get together the extra cash or was there a specific feature in the 720's you liked better?

Nah, it was availability and I don't really care about tweaking the sound settings that much.

Meemos - I've played two games on both platforms 1.) LEGO Batman (100% on both) - there were some slight AI differences on the platforms. The "Helper" AI was a little dimmer on the PS3, but overall comparable graphically. 2.) Borderlands - 100% on PS3, about 50% on 360 - Loading times are faster on the 360, though I am not sure if this is because I loaded the game onto the hard drive. Coming to Old Haven where nearby there were graphical glitches in the sky on the PS3, but haven't seen them on the 360. 360 is louder than the PS3 when spinning the DVD.
