"Everyone envies rock stars. Groupies, concerts everywhere, being idolized by the entire world and the cool way they handle their guitar. And for those of you that want a small taste of how it is to be a rock star, there's a game out there that's become as legendary as the characters players impersonate: Guitar Hero.
Guitar hero lets the average Joe impersonate rock stars during concerts by pressing colored buttons while watching the TV screen. Which is not so bad, since Guitar Hero is as close as most of us will ever get to playing on a stage in front of the crowd (no, playing in front of your family on an improvised stage does not count).
And ever since Guitar Hero made its first appearance, so have different instruments looking to give players a more real feel of how it is to be a rock star. Such as the latest Logitech Black Edition Wireless Guitar Controller for the PS3. Expected to be made available later this month in the US, the wireless controller is licensed by Activision, is made from authentic wood material and has a noise dampening design of the buttons and strum bar.
Or, as Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech’s director of product marketing for gaming, puts it, “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 [...] Everything about the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller is premium – from the authentic wood material and flawless black finish, to the noise-dampening design of the strum bar and buttons, to the authentic accents provided by the metal frets.”
You will also be free to walk away from your console if you desire, since the device can be used from a distance as far as 30 feet away. The price? Around 199.99 USD. As for a European release… expect it in June."
