Yes but unfortunately the interface with the PS3 is a bit complicated for a standard headset. Plugging in the headset using the USB card into the PS3 will allow you to use your microphone, but the headset will not output sound. Because the PS3 does not output sound to the headset (outputs through the TV) the headset must be connected to a TV headphone jack in addition. Here's a breakdown of what the setups would look like:To use your microphone only: Headset -> USB card -> PS3
To use your sound only: Headset -> 3.5mm green cable (sound) -> TV headphone jack OR into RCA splitter -> RCA jacks
To use both microphone and sound:
3.5mm red (microphone) -> USB card -> PS3
3.5mm green (sound) -> 3.5mm extension cable -> TV headphone jack
This setup will have the two separate plugs from the headset itself going to separate inputs.
Please be aware that we now have a specifically designed 'Siberia v2 for PS3' with the Cross Platform audiomixer for PS3
