Nope, that's not a Guitar Hero or Rock Band brand guitar. That's from Logitech, and it's for the PS3. Yup, that's a wireless guitar controller right there, perfect for those high-jumpin' rockin' good time. No guitar spins for you on this one, though.

Said Logitech's director of product marketing for gaming, Ruben Mookerjee, "Logitech's new guitar controller delivers the same unparalleled Guitar Hero experience offered by our previous premiere edition to an even broader group of gamers and at a great value."

Here are the specs of the guitar:

• one-piece contoured wood
• rubber dome technology on fret board controls for reduced button noise
• touch-sensitive slider
• range of up to 30 feet from the console
• hundreds of hours of battery life

The guitar comes in pristine black finish, and even has a glossy black pick guard. If you want to pick this up, then expect it in retail later this month in the U.S. for US$ 199.99. If you are in Europe, you'll have to wait for it in June.

looks nice but I consider it a waste of money unless it has a bluetooth connection so that you don't need to take up another usb port.

You only need one USB Port for it. If you have one of the crappy PS3 models with 2 ports, just get an adapter that has extra ports.

Ouchhh, expensive and no real advantage. I doubt it makes you play any better than the normal controllers lol.

The only crappy PS3 model was the 20gb. Nothing wrong with only 2 USB ports.

No PS2 BC, slower Blu-Ray drive (Launch 60gb/20GB read discs faster than all current models), no Super Audio CD support, I could go on.



Removal of 2 out of 4 ports was retarded, seeing as how Sony markets it as a media powerhouse.
