Did you ever end up getting the Platinum headset? I'm curious about it, especially the enhanced 3D audio.
Also overall compared to the Gold.

Sorry I missed this post.

We did get one, but while Sammy likes it, and it does have some slight improvements to the Gold, the 3D audio isn't supported by many games yet, so there's not much reason to upgrade if you already have the Gold headset, since the difference is minimal. I recommend waiting until more games support it (and it should be on sale at that point, although we were able to get Best Buy to price-match Amazon for $30 off).

It looks really neat (build is definitely more durable than the Gold, which still works fine after years of extended use, animal chewing, and enough sitting-on to break it into three pieces), there are some bass improvements, and it is comfortable enough for hours of play, but I'm going to be sticking with the Gold headset for the foreseeable future.
