Hmm new PS3 does not work. Update: Got another one.

Can I use any PS2 or PC headset with this PS3? Just wondering. Or do I need the bluetooth?

A USB PS2 headset will work (I have the Logitech one) but then you are wired to the PS3.

I got the Jabra BT25 bluetooth headset with Warhawk and use it on my PS3 and my cell phone.

This is slightly off topic, but I think it is still relevant to OP's situation in having to return his PS3 to WalMart. When I originally bought a PS3 back in Spring of '08, I turned it on, and someone had already set up a user account on it WalMart sold me the 40GB unit "new." I took it back, and the jerks at WalMart actually started hassling me, and I had to argue with them to get them to exchange for one that was actually "new." The manager had a tough time grasping the concept that if a user account was already on the PS3, with someone else's name on it, then it couldn't be new. I even told him "you need to be more careful about re-selling used items, that could get you guys in a lot of trouble." That experience really ticked me off at the time, and it demonstrates that WalMart does, in fact, re-sell used items as "new." That might be what happened with your original PS3 CAMAROBOY.

^ Oh yeah I am sure that is what happened. Just sold me a used one. Same thing happened to someone on the xbox site with their 360. They had major issues and actually had 2 bad ones in a row from Walmart. I would not have bought it there but it was the only store around that is carrying any of them. And I also had a frustrating time when returning it to walmart. Bunch of idiots.

Foolkiller,
So I CAN use a wired PS2 headset and just plug it into the USB ports? Thats great news and thats what I though I heard.

I am 99% sure it should work. It has been a while since I have tried though and they do like to change things. If you are looking to buy one then I will test mine when I get home, but if you already have one then no harm will come from trying.
