If you ever wanted to look like a member of the Third Street Saints during a voice chat, Volition had you covered, sort of. The Saints Row The Third Platinum Pack on Xbox 360 ships with a custom molded Saints Row headset that's purely for show, not compatible for online use, which makes it one of the most gloriously impractical collector's items of the console wars era. This thing was built for the shelf, not the lobby.

You also get an exclusive in-game soundtrack and the Professor Genki Hyper-Ordinary Pre-Order Pack, because no Saints Row bundle is complete without that deranged pink cat man lurking somewhere in the contents. The headset is the real draw here. It's a sculpted conversation piece, a purple-and-gold statement that says you were there when open-world mayhem peaked on the 360.

Good luck finding one of these that hasn't been opened, because most people couldn't resist pulling that headset out of the box immediately. For Saints Row completists, the Platinum Pack sits in a weird, wonderful space between functional gaming accessory and pure display piece. It chose display piece, and we respect it for that.
