"They will be out late in retail stores in late May or early June, but will most likely be out the week of May 26th"

This is completely true, however not all games require the best sound quality. Especially those of the consoles, like Halo 3, where you are unable to have the top of the line sound cards. These should beat the Astro A40's by light years and those still remain the Pro's choice for Halo 3.
I received this response from Sennheiser today,
"Hello,
The PC360 will be available in June in the US at many retailers. Online will be the best resource to purchase through outlets like Amazon.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks"
Any updates on the U.S. release for the Sennheiser PC 360?
555 with mic
actually the pc360 is an hd595 with a mic.
The PC-360 is finally available directly from Sennheiser if you call them for $260. They are supposed to be shipping out to retailers (FYE, Amazon, etc) soon as they just got them into Sennheiser HQ in the US.
Great headset aimed for gamers...they can get rid of clip on/desktop mics.
how do you know this?
I emailed them and they said:
So then I called this past Friday and the person I spoke with on the phone gave me the information in my above post. I could have bought it right then but as he said, the retail partners will usually sell the same products below full retail price so I told him I'd wait. It is tough to wait since I've been wanting these since May but I'd rather get them from Amazon for under $200 and free shipping then buy them today. He does not have a firm date for when they'll be in stores "Depends on how often they place orders" but they seem to be available and if you go to an authorized seller they should be able to order them for you (Not sure how much of a price cut they'd give you though for their first order)
Just to update, they're on sale at Amazon.com from a THIRD PARTY seller with free shipping for $199.99 as of this post. I caved and bought a pair, I'll try to post some pictures and a review when I get them in and do some testing. They will mostly be used for PC gaming connected to an XFi card on a Windows 7 PC. I plan on buying a mixamp or something similar in the future to use with my Xbox 360 and PS3.
