Also, for some reason I hope that show throws in a match of PC Supreme Commander. Sitting in for two hours while the players set up their economies sounds hilarious.
My only major problem is with the mess of wires for connectivity and that you have to use two separate power supplies for everything to work. Also, the 360 mic connector on my pair kept shorting out so I had to re-solder the thing.
@zeroword
These things do use a Dolby certified decoding box.
@unangbangkay
360 connectivity uses a cable and connector similar the standard Live headset which you plug into the controller. On the PS3 you gotta run a USB cable from the decoder box to the PS3 and basically set up your mic settings for a USB headset. So no need to swap back and forth which is nice.
As for the WCG ultimate gamer, I know someone that went on. Said it was the time of their lives...
Sorry for being a grammar nazi.
The speakers are in the top and the sound is carried by tubes. You can even open the cups to vent out heat haha.

Who wants to lend me 300 bucks?
@Teranoid - Nice of them to use that but then to combine a mixer and use 8 drivers? I'm sorry to tell you but that is ass. Doesn't matter what their marketing tells you: 8 tiny speakers in your ear is nothing compared to two good drivers with a good mixing. Go to any audiophile website and they will tell you the same thing.
@GrayFox - you aren't the only one.
