SOCOM Confrontation hits stores this week and Sony wants to entice you into buying it with a few gameplay trailers. This first one features some basic multiplayer action, while two additional videos after the jump demonstrate playing "Control" and "Extraction" modes.

I have to say, it looks really appealing. Then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from the series. Brad Nicholson seemed to have a good time in the beta, with only minor technical issues to gripe about. All in all, it's starting to make me wish I had a PS3 to play it on.

For those of you who do have the hardware, however, have you bought SOCOM yet? How are you enjoying it? Convince me in the comments that I need to lay out the cash for another console. I could use a little arm-twisting yet.

Wow, that looks pretty bad actually. I was expecting more from the SOCOM series... I mean it looks like a PS2 game.

Sorry Conrad, but I can't give you a reason. SOCOM is cool and I'll probably get it for Christmas but not right now. There are more important things to buy.

Like [i]Dead Space[i].

I just picked up. Socom is a proven thing. Dead Space can wait for a rental. Plus you get a headset.

I got it and aside form the cool headset Conrad, there's a HUGE issue that should cause you to stop in your tracks from getting the game.

Ah, dammit, Y0j1mb0, I wish I could have read your comments while I was in my local Gamestop. And plus, I didn't even get the headset, they were out! Maybe I'll check if it works, send it back, and grab the headset alone.

"Auto playing video is annoying."

Truer words have never been sad. What a pain in the ass.

I saw a shitload of people buying these at work yesterday. That and Saints Row 2. One guy even tried buying two... Weird, huh?

He might have wanted 2 headsets.

Trailers are great. The game, however, is useless at this point, as it seems that pretty much nobody can connect to servers right now. I've been trying since about 6:00pm, and it's 11:00pm now and still no luck.
