Oh and a real guitar has a considerably larger chance of getting you laid ... if you still remember what that means ...]]>May 12th 2009 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/
2. Have you ever actually played a $200 guitar? They're terrible. The fretboards warp like crazy, the tone is garbage, and they can barely stay in tune. They're what parents buy their 12 year old kids when they get rock star dreams but mom and dad figure it's just going to be a phase. The cheapest halfway decent guitar I've seen was around $400, and if you're buying an electric guitar, you'll need to get an amp, too. It all adds up pretty quick.

This controller is a little on the expensive side, but you guys seriously need to get over yourselves. Putting people down for having fun just makes you look like elitist jerk-offs.]]>May 12th 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 12th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 12th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 12th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/
I won't be picking this up, the LP is probably the best guitar controllers will ever get. Price drops are always good though, 200 bucks isn't a rip-off. I've spent a fair bit more than that on my RB drum kit. And yes, I have real guitars.]]>May 12th 2009 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/

Where is the Caucasian edition or Asian/Pacific Islander editions?

What about the Native American edition huh?

I might be persuaded to look into this if it can be expected to last a long time, but at that price I'd have to be sure the 'feel' is right too.]]>May 12th 2009 6:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/

R.I.P Chuck

if anyone doesn't know him, he was the guitarist of the band Death (basically the first band to do death metal)]]>May 12th 2009 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 12th 2009 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/

Any way you slice it, this thing's worth about $70 tops. You could build your own real wood guitar controller out of a real guitar for a lot cheaper than this, and it'd feel a lot more like the real thing. (And before you say "time is money", yeah - except the Logitech controller is no doubt built by robots in about 10 seconds flat. So it still makes no sense that it'd cost $200.)

I'm also curious. You say that the FPS/real military comparison isn't valid. How often do you play sports? How often do you race sports cars? How often do you do any of the myriad of activities that are portrayed in video games, and how often do you just wind up playing those games instead? It's just as valid for me to say "go play football/hockey/soccer/etc." or "go to your local race track" as it is for you to say "learn a real instrument", and it's just as douchey for me to complain about you "pretending" to do those things as it is for you to complain about people playing Guitar Hero.]]>May 12th 2009 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 12th 2009 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 12th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 12th 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 12th 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 12th 2009 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 12th 2009 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/May 13th 2009 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/logitechs-199-black-edition-wireless-guitar-hero-controller-sh/
