Edguy:
Proprietary. I don't even know what that means, let alone how to pronounce it..
ackblom12:
It means that it's a connection type that has been patented. This means that anyone who wants to make anything compatible with it, be it adapter or headset, will have to purchase a license from MS in order to do so. This is, of course, assuming that they sell licenses to do so.

Other examples of proprietary formats would be Sony's memory cards for the PSP and Vita. Also the adapter plug-in for the iPhone.
Edguy:
Yeah, I got the meaning of the word out from the context, but it would have been completely foreign to me alone.
snalin:
See I can get the memory card thing; you'll probably be buying one with the handheld anyway, and if you can't stick your PSP mem card into your pc, pirating is going to be harder. But most people already have headphones they'll want to use. I can't see myself being happy sitting playing with a decent Msoft headset on, with my ungodly expensive Bose lying unused right next to me.
For a company that's trying to make "the ultimate integrated entertainment experience", making sure that you can't pull your headphone plug out of the xbone and into your phone when you need to go... Hell, it's not even going to be compatible with windows fucking phone.

Pilchard123:
Was that meant to be "MSOFT STAHP", or were you likening Microsoft to a Staph. infection?
