No wireless Guitar Heroes guitar on 360
The Playstation 2 is getting a special wireless guitar to go along with the release of Guitar Hero II this week and while the Xbox 360 was the first console to come with wireless controllers out of the box, we won’t be seeing a 360 version of the wireless guitar. Red Octane’s Bryan Lam told eToychest that Microsoft currently doesn’t allow third parties to the proprietary wireless technology used for the Xbox 360.
Well, that’s a Microsoft issue,” commented Lam. “Their wireless technology is proprietary…so they aren’t allowing 3rd party manufacturers to make anything at the moment….so until they allow us to do so, we aren’t able to.
Cheer up kid, wireless controllers are cool but wireless guitars are for nu metal bands, so chances are that a wireless Guitar Hero 2 controller is equally lame.
Guitar Hero 2 hits stores in North America this week on PS2, some stores have already broken street date so chances are you’ll be able to pick up a copy right now. European Guitar Heroes can pick up their copy on November 24th. The Xbox 360 version is slated for a release next spring.
Any excuse to reprint that picture eh
Any excuse :D. Hell I’ll start using it in completely unrelated posts.
I’m sure MS will listen and hopefully before Spring 07 announce a wireless controller! Seems kinda stupid MS wouldnt when even the PS2 is getting one!
Ill properly still get the game anyway!
Who is it in the picture?
Major Nelson.
oh god how sad does that look!!
It was after an exhausting flight to X06 right after TGS, can’t blame him
trust microsoft to be so self-centerd
2 words or maybe its 4… USB Dongle
Seriously, that’s a brilliant idea, try mailing RedOctane about it, I don’t see why it couldn’t be done.
i don’t get it, Hori has made wireless xbox 360 controllers , with full support from microsoft. So why cant the devs get the same deal with MS ?
Did they? I did’nt know that / don’t think so?
but…real guitars have wires!
Also, guiter hero is pretty lame.
Oh no, that’s not good…
If this is a deal killer for you, then you don’t desire to play the game’s greatness.
I’ll gladly sign up for downloadable songs at the price of having to play it wired. As if the first Guitar Hero was rendered unplayable because the guitar was wired.
Microsoft should let them make one
But yeah it’s also true that guitars use cables for real too.
Yes real guitars have wires.
Real Guitars also have stings not liitle plastic buttons.
And real guitars arn’t made for dwarves?
The lead can be upto about 20 feet long on a real guitar mind you.
