I thought about it, but I went with a relatively cheap headset to use for gaming for simplicity's sake. I used to game with an older pair of Sennheisers and a clip on mic, but dealing with the extra cord was too annoying. I do sometimes use the 650s for single player games with great sound design, though.
As for recommendations on open vs closed headphones for music, as long as you aren't in a noisy environment, I've always preferred open. Most of the closed sets I've tried make the music sound like it's coming from inside my head instead of around it. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just not what I prefer. Closed sets do often have the advantage of better bass, but depending on what type of music you listen to that might not actually be a plus.

I bought some Astro A40s with the mixamp and thought the sound was really good, but uncomfortable for my head.
the positional audio - just even mining, was really noticeable.
I ordered a pair of the Sennheiser 363d's last night.
