Number of Nintendo Wiis sold in Oct 2009.
Gaming industry numbers in October, 2009 showed the Wii to hold the top sales spot, followed by the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I was going to buy this too. Woohoo first comment
so? its cheaper than buying 1 guitar hero guitar AND 1 rock band guitar
And HELLOOOOO, it comes with a friggin' foot switch, how cool is that!
Sounds sweet! Hopefully they don't have the same issue with the strumbar going all wacky and not being responsive as the original guitar shipped with Rock Band. You're right though, it is a bit pricey for an after-market knock-off, but I guess we have the little switch and can use with both games... maybe.
The Wii version is $49.99 @ Amazon and is the highest ranking item in Video Games as of this post http://amazon.com/gp/movers-and-shakers/videogames
honestly, i'd have been a lot less bitter about the PS3 RB guitar dongle if it were integrated into a stompbox that activated overdrive. that would have been cool.
The only thing that sucks about this guitar is that I can't play it with my teeth, behind my back, whilst it's set on fire.
....
On second thoughts, that may have more to do with the fundamental structure of the human anatomy, and my 'allergic reaction' to fire (i.e burning).
WRONG. Ok, the on fire bit may be pushing it, but I have managed to play GH3 with the official wireless controller both with my teeth AND behind my back. Not at the same time mind.
i always though the contorels where unsiversal
Not on the PS3 version. That was the whole big problem, on the 360 the GH controller worked with rock band, but the RB controller didn't work with Guitar Hero. On the PS3 there was NO compatability WHATSOEVER. that's why.
But will it be compatible with Rock Band?
I meant that to be a reply to the Wii version of this guitar. Engadget, fix your commenting system.
No, the wii rockband guitar won't even use the wiimote.. its not even close to the same system as guitar hero. Just one more reason why nobody should buy the game and yet thousands will because they're misinformed.
Looks horrible I think. Also, the neck on all the Nyko guitars are outrageously big, even larger than the circumference of my REAL guitar's neck o_O. I have never liked the nyko guitars, because they look and feel like junk, even though the stomp boxes are pretty sweet, I will admit.
Wow, that guitar looks like the product of some future race who has never seen a guitar and tries to reconstruct one from pictographs.
i gotta say... i hate the whole guitar hero thing but i did try the drum part of rock band at a bes buy and i'm addicted now
Sorry, but was this thing hit with the ugly stick?
Still pretty cool, even at $60.
Magenta!!! T-mobile will sue them i bet!
so does it strum like GH guitar or RB's?
hrmm.. wonder if this would work with the older (PS2) Guitar Hero's on PS3? I've heard that while the game works, getting GH controllers to work correctly is a different story.
But I heard that TAC is coming out with one thats for both RockBand and all of GH series and for both PS2 & PS3...and it looks like Nykos doesnt have the solo buttons u need for RockBand
