All I Want is Another Xbox 360 Wireless Guitar!

Like most people, I ran out and bought Guitar Hero III for Xbox 360 the day it hit the shelves. It came with a sweet wireless guitar controller - black, shiny, sexy, and did I mention it's wireless? It is. And that rocks almost as hard as Dokken. But guess what I had to do in order to get a second wireless guitar?

I had to go buy another guitar/game bundle, then sell the bundled game on eBay. Seriously. That's as lame as Foghat on "Easy." Nobody seems to have additional wireless guitar controllers for the Xbox 360 version of GH3 on the shelves. I mean, once you go wireless with this game, you'll never want to be tethered down with those old-skool wired controllers. That's so 2006!

The really sucky part is that there are PLENTY of aftermarket wireless controllers for the PS2. But I play Guitar Hero on the 360 so I can rock the faces off of my already faceless victims on Xbox Live. Hence, I'm out of luck. Didn't the peripherals manufacturers know that this game was gonna be a big hit? I'm lucky I got two of them - the bundles are no longer on the shelves at any of the stores near me (there are plenty of GHIII for PS2 and PC, however... very telling).

I'm not sure whose screw-up this is, but someone must pay! Peripherals manufacturers better get those 360-compatible wireless guitars into the hands of the hard-rocking masses before Christmas, or "hammer on" is gonna have a whole new meaning!
