Astro Gaming and SIXAXIS….Gaming

In the current generation, Xbox 360 was the first to grab a stranglehold on competitive gaming; however the 360 fan base is far from the only gamers desiring a little “something extra” from their console. It may have taken longer, but PS3 is now experiencing a meteoric rise in competitive gaming. Love it or hate it, the Call of Duty series has really been the catalyst for the increase in competitive desire. It was the release of CoD4 in 2007 that spawned SIXAXISGAMING, and with each successive Call of Duty release we have experienced an influx of new members eager to fight it out to be a part of the #1 team on 6A.

A noticeable trend over this time has been the shifting influence of technology on CoD games. At first, the quality of your internet connection was just as important as the way you played the game. Gunfights were settled equally between bullets and bytes. As time progressed and the general standard of internet increased, the playing field became more even – until the release of gaming headsets. Headsets have revolutionised the way that the competitive game is played. This is particularly the case in “Search and Destroy” competitions, where one wrong footstep on a piece of rubble can lead to your location being pinpointed from the other side of the map.

What this now means is that to be the very best, like no-one ever was, it is pretty much essential to own a gaming headset. There comes a time that not even the drastic measure of turning your Bravia speakers up to 20 will save you. Initially, you had very slim pickings if you wanted a headset optimised for gaming. Recently, however, the market has become flooded with options for gamers, and it can be daunting to try and pick the best headset from the mound of wired choices. If you want to pay just a bit extra for quality, performance and overall polish then it’s undeniable that the best option to ascend the summit of sound is to buy an Astro Gaming product. This is where some exciting news from SIXAXISGAMING comes into play.

We are proud to announce that Astro Gaming have signed on as an official major sponsor of SIXAXISGAMING. This can mean only good things for you, the gamers. To celebrate the release of the next game in the Call of Duty franchise, the much-anticipated Modern Warfare Three, SIXAXISGAMING will be running a 4v4 ladder to separate the best from the mediocre rest. If this wasn’t good enough news, Astro Gaming have agreed to provide four Astro A40 systems to the team that wins the ladder. That’s right, four. This means that if you grab three mates and win the ladder, you could all soon be sound-navigating Call of Duty in style, wearing headsets with a collective worth of over $1000. All of this for a ladder with free entry. To top it off, Astro Gaming will also be providing discount codes to all SIXAXISGAMING premium members to use when purchasing their products online; so if you don’t win the ladder there’s no need to despair – you can still get a good deal regardless.

So, what do you all have to do? Firstly, gather a team of comrades together. Secondly, register to be a part of the 4v4 ladder. Thirdly, win it. It’s that simple. If you feel so inclined, you can also become a premium member for as little as $5. As well as a discount code for Astro Gaming products, you will also get access to the exclusive Premium Members forum and go into the monthly draws to win fantastic products.

On behalf of SIXAXISGAMING I wish you all good luck, and happy gaming.
