We thought the time of plastic gaming peripherals was long gone, but PDP have other ideas. It'll soon be time to rock on as PDP deliver their new RIFFMASTER guitar controller to the Xbox and PlayStation masses.
We've been using PDP products for years, but this is the first time a Victrix branded product has come to our attention. An engineering and design company owned by PDP and based out of San Diego, the big V look to provide gamers with products that can give them a competitive edge. And that means launching the world's fastest Xbox controller alongside a rather tasty looking wireless headset.
The PDP LvL30 Wired Chat Headset is a pretty simple, fairly low-tech headset. It’s certainly not one that is going to get gamers gasping in amazement though, and it really does fall short of the rest of the PDP LvL range.
The PDP Ultra Slim Charge System for Xbox One pretty much does what it says on the tin. It’s ultra slim. It’s a charge system. And it works for Xbox One. Job done in all respects there.
This holiday season sees the PDP Gaming team going big with headsets, and sitting alongside their range topper comes a cheaper, slightly lower specification wired option with the PDP Gaming LvL40 Wired Stereo Headset for Xbox One. And for the price asked, PDP have just about delivered.
I've rarely felt so immersed in gaming sessions as when these drivers have been pounding my ears, and even though you can spend a hell of a lot more in terms of premium gaming headsets, for the very reasonable price these are launching at (£70), I can't believe you'll be able to get hands on with anything better in this range.
We're big fans of the accessories and headsets that PDP Gaming create - after all, the PDP Afterglow AG9 is still one of our very favourite headsets - and so news that the number one video game accessory company in North America have a blockbusting holiday line-up of Xbox One and PS4 accessories ready to roll is a big one - particularly if you're in the market for a new headset.
Can't get through the day without grabbing a guitar and belting out the hits on Rock Band 4? You're going to be well pleased with today's announcement.
