Wireless 360 Rock Band Guitars, Out In The Wild
Home : News : News Story

Xbox 360 wireless Rock Band Guitars spotted in stores


If you're like me, the Rock Band Stratocaster doesn't cut it. Sure, it's got the extra five fret buttons, but that just doesn't cut it. It's not even the wire that's the problem, though after having Rock Band for the last six months, I can attest to a newfound hatred of plugging and unplugging all its peripherals, and would gladly play Green Grass and High Tides knowing full well that I can't win without the smaller extra frets.

That's why these wireless guitars are necessary. Who needs those stupid cabled guitars, which you always forget to unplug and when you throw Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4 in, you have to unplug them quickly and hope they didn't register as any of the players so you don't have to deal with switching users. Which unfortunately is a pain in the neck on the 360, even two and a half years after it's release.

They've only been spotted recently, and Engadget has some pictures that fans sent in. We'll have to update you on exactly what's going on, because not all stores have them as of yet, but hey, it's better than nothing.
