Sorry I have been sick.  I also was trying to help Brax get his facebook page up and running.  The dude already got locked out of his Facebook account!  He is claiming it is not his fault, but seeing as how he manages to break everything he touches related to technology, I don’t buy it.  So I am keeping the page updated while he figures that out.

What else is new?  I got a new Xbox yesterday so I can finally download the rest of the Beatles albums and some of that other Rock Band DLC as well.  I don’t know if I’ll have time to play it anytime soon though since Final Fantasy 13 came out today.  Yeah, I’m an RPG geek.  Fight me.

So earlier we were talking about a real guitar that was turned into a Rock Band controller.  The You Rock Guitar one ups that because it is a real working guitar AND it is a Rock Band controller.  I’ll definitely be interested in buying it when they offer support for the 360.  It has lots of other cool real guitar features and it looks like it’s going to be pretty affordable.  So hopefully this will give you some ideas for my birthday, which is only six months away!

Yes, that is a full size Fender Strat Rock Band controller.  Yes, it is $300.  That baby isn’t plastic.  It’s an actual Fender Stratocaster.  Some guitar purists might balk at the idea of wasting a perfectly good REAL guitar and turning it into what is essentially a toy, but I say it’s awesome.  No, I don’t care that you can buy an actual Strat (with Rock Band branding, no less) for about $300.  That one doesn’t play Rock Band.  How can a Manta Ray even play fake guitar?  I’m awesome, that’s how.  Merry Christmas everyone!
