    This weekend’s tournament at Raleigh happens to be a very special event for Major League Gaming. They get to check off a pretty big milestone in their history, their 50th event. To help them celebrate the special occasion, we are bringing a plethora of fun stuff to this event for the first time:

    Attendees to the MLG Raleigh event this weekend will get the opportunity to check out the new MLG A30 Audio System, as well as the BXR Edition A40 Audio System. Both of which, have never previously been able to be purchased at any live event. You’ll get a chance to try and compare the two different headsets head to head at our 2v2 station featuring Halo 3, Modern Warfare 2, and Transformers: War for Cybertron throughout the weekend.

    As many of you know, for each event, we do a limited collectors run of event specific speaker tags. We’ll have the Raleigh event tags on both black and white speaker tags, but we also cooked up another super collectible set to celebrate this milestone. For the 50th event, we did a batch of 50 A40 speaker tag sets featuring the special 50th event logo. Again, we only printed 50 of these commemorative sets, and fully expect them to sell out quickly. Be sure to come swing by the booth early if you’ll be at the show.

    Additionally, we brought back the A40 MLG Pro Team Speaker Tag sets from some of the top teams. Show your support for your favorites in style as we’ll have limited quantities of tags from: Str8 Rippin’, Final Boss, Instinct, Carbon, Believe the Hype, and Status Quo.

    We somehow also managed to pull the last few MLG Mission Bags from our inventory for this event as well. These are stocked out online, but we’ll have a few available at the ASTRO Booth for those of you that make the journey to the “City of Oaks”. Did you know Raleigh is jam packed with Oak trees? We didn’t until we got here.

    Did I mention that we’re also treating every event attendee like a pro player? That’s right… for those of you attending the event(or know someone that is), you’ll also get to score these new headsets at the same discounted prices that the pros get. That’s a rock solid 20% discount from our regular prices.

    On a side note, during setup we also had a chance to scope out the Sony booth which will be giving 3D Killzone 3 demos all weekend. In a word: amazing. I’ll bet you wish you would have bought that spectator pass now eh?

    Just last week, MLG’s favorite player Walshy flew into San Francisco for a photoshoot with our mutual friends at Red Bull. Now what better place could there be to have this shoot other than at ASTRO Gaming?

    Just last week, MLG’s favorite player Walshy flew into San Francisco for a photoshoot with our mutual friends at Red Bull. What better place could there be to have this shoot other than at ASTRO Gaming?

    Now here’s the totally awesome part and it’s going to make you really freakin’ jealous. As you can clearly see, Walshy is now sporting a custom set of Red Bull A40s. When I first saw them, I was like “Dayum dude.” Even I was totally envious and I work here. The even cooler thing about the headset is that it was painted by the guy that actually does the Red Bull racing helmets. Doesn’t get much more legit than that kids.

    Also, don’t forget to catch the last day of Walshy and his crew prepping for MLG Raleigh on Red Bull USA’s live stream!

    And if you want to see some more awesome shots of Walshy’s shoot and his custom Red Bull A40s, head over to our Facebook. While you’re there, hit that pretty “Like” button at the top if you haven’t already. It’ll do you good.

    The brilliant folks at Wired Gamelife took some time to see how you as a the gamer can truly take advantage of this versatile mofo of a backpack. Yes, I totally said versatile.

    To be more specific, Gus Mastrapa, a fellow Scott Pilgrim fan and PC gamer, put the Scout Backpack through the freakin’ paces. The man filled it up with a laptop, books, a Nintendo DS, gaming accessories, and still had room for his A30 headset.

    To quote:

    “Created by Astro Gaming, purveyor of high-end gaming headphones, the Scout Backpack is designed with the gamer in mind. From the outside, the bag appears modest. But inside, it is lined with a buttery fabric that softly cradles all your gear.”

    The recently launched tech review Tested.com, featuring top industry talent from Maximum PC and other outlets, have poured hours of soul-breaking effort into their latest headset roundup.

    In “7 High-End Gaming Headsets Tested and Reviewed!”, editor and tech extraordinaire Will Smith ripped through the leading headset manufacturer’s highest-end products. Naturally, our A40 Audio System and A30 Audio System were included and pitted against the best that Tritton, Turtle Beach, Steel Series and Razer had to offer.

    Now we have a strict policy where we don’t knock our competitors. That’s not classy, ya know? If we ever compare ourselves to a competing product, it’ll be biased no matter what we do. That’s why we encourage you to do some of your own research or check out our reviews archive on this very same blog.

    So this is where you should read what Tested.com had to say about us and make your own decisions. You’re smart and an independent thinker. I can SO tell.

    If you ever have any questions, feel free to hit up our Forums or Support Team!

    Much respect yo,
