Win a Epiphone Les Paul - Image 1Rockers and wannabes unite, as Red Octane and Download Festival 2007 organizers set up a gig at Donnington Park for all those Guitar Hero fans.

From June 8-10, when the clock strikes 10 p.m., rockers get a chance to reach rock stardom by playing mad riffs in front of about 3,000 people. Pick a song out of 40 available from the Xbox 360's Guitar Hero II and let those strings loose.

The top crowd favorites will win a Epiphone Les Paul guitar, so time to brush up those skills.

You must hurry if you're interested though - slots are limited, and even those with a ticket for the Download Festival won't be able squeeze in if they don't reserve space early. Not to mention that competition will probably be tight, with all the people hungry for that fancy guitar.

» » Yo, buy both X360 & PS3 consoles [End of the Console War Debate]

So many losers online say their console (either PS3 or X360) is better. No, the PS3 hardware is better only because it’s newer; however, the deciding factor which will choose the winner of this console war is the content (games). Both consoles have numerous blockbuster (must-buy, ground-breaking, triple-A, console-selling) exclusive games. That’s why you must buy both consoles. [PS3 Exclusives] - Dynasty Gundam Musou (garbage): hack n slash - Lair (garbage): aerial hack & slash - Heavenly Sword (garbage): 20% God of War rip-off + 80% hack n slash - Crysis like FPS from Crytek (garbage): best graphics + extremely boring gameplay - Getaway (garbage): GTA rip-off - The Eye of Judgment (garbage): another card game - PS3 Home (garbage): don’t waste even 5 minutes on this - Final Fantasy versus XIII (so-so): action RPG crap just like many other action RPGs - Ninja Gaiden Sigma (so-so) - Afrika (so-so): 3rd person Safari maintenance game - LittleBigPlanet (so-so) - Tekken 6 (so-so): Tekken 5’s the most sold (based on the number of copies sold) fighter in gaming history; single-player only - Folklore (so-so): super-mesmerizing graphics - SingStar (so-so) - SOCOM Confrontation (so-so): SOCOM is the most sold shooter among all PS2 shooters.
