Guitar Hero II 360 controller is NOT wireless |
Ó
Some people aren't going to like being tethered by this bit of news, and we're sad to have to deliver the announcement that unlike its PS2 counterpart, the Gibson X-plorer-esque exclusive Xbox 360 guitar controller for RedOctane's Guitar Hero II will NOT be wireless, as GamePro has learned. This news ofcourse raises the obvious question: why?
GamePro posed this qustion to the game makers, and the answer they is because Microsoft has been unwilling to share the 360's 2.4GHz wireless protocol. According to RedOctane executive producer John Tam, "Have you seen a third-party wireless controller? That's Microsoft's protocol" and he goes on to explain that this protocol has not been made available to third parties yet. So, for the meantime, the guitar coming for the 360 will be wired.
They have already requested for the protocol to be provided to them, but until the boys at Microsoft does that, we'll al have to make do with a wired guitar controller.
For the meantime, let's hope it's got a long cable.

BUUUUUURN
real guitars have leads anyway - so what.
Microsoft is being a ***** about its protocol. They effectively made it so that only their products will be wireless. Well so much for the Xbox360 being soo optional. You have the option of using third party products, but if you want wireless you have to use MS.
And a USB extension cable is very easy to obtain if need be.
since it has to plug into the USB port now anyway, why not just have the USB plug-in be the wireless reciever, thus eliminating the problem. And dont argue cost, cause how else would they be able to do wireless with the ps2?
how is that Nyko Zero controller gonna work out? This article says it's wireless http://gear.ign.com/articles/740/740196p1.html
who the ***** cares! if u buy the game coz u want it & u like guitar hero u don't care if there's a wire to the pad... wtf!
cuz the ps2 rules!!
no me no like naughty
Microsoft is way into selling their gimmicks. Most of their "optional" features should have been built into the Xbox 360. They decided to go the way they are going so they could have an excuse to sell a 20GB HDD for 4 times it real price.
actually alot of gutiars have a wireless adaptor to an amp... plus wires are like so 5 minutes ago..
