While I get that Steelseries wants to get as many people as possible into their ecosystem, it doesn't feel right that features of the product you bought need you to register first.
If you want to make use of this feature on your PC, you'll need to register on their website. In the box you'll also find a little card that tells you to go to Steelseries' website to enable the 7.1 surround support built into the headset. The box feels smooth, well-crafted and, for all intents and purposes, premium.
In the box you'll find a manual, some extra aux cables (one for use with your phone/iPod/whatever you use to listen to sound on the go, the other one for use on your PC's mic and speaker ports) and a bunch of stickers you can use to customize the Arctis 3 (or any other surface in your general vicinity). If you've read my previous tech reviews, you'll know that I love a good unboxing experience, and the Arctis 3 sure has a nice box not dissimilar from Apple's packaging, although Steelseries has a less minimalistic approach than Apple does. The headset also has a special dial on one of the cups to control the volume and a switch to mute or unmute yourself without having to do that in a third-party app like Mumble or Teamspeak. Every set also comes with a ski goggle headband that is designed to be flexible and comfortable. The Arctis 3 comes equipped with everything you'd want for a headset targeted at gamers: lightwight design, large cups made of comfortable fabric with 7.1 surround and a microphone using Steelseries' propriety ClearCast microphone, which is said to deliver high-quality voice comms with built-in noise cancelling so your buddies will be able to communicate with you without having to listen to that pesky background noise that makes your games hard to hear.
