Yesterday, we asked for our readers — whom we see as a vast armada of guinea pigs with money far less valuable than our own — to tell us what they thought of the DDRgame third-party Guitar Hero controller. No one did. But! Someone mentioned that there actually is a wireless Guitar Hero controller. We've been swabbing out our belly buttons ever since.
This is it: the Rocking Freedom V Guitar Controller from Guitar Mania. Not only that, our stinky nemeses over at IGN seem to like it, provided this isn't another one of their on-a-scale-of-8-to-10 punk outs:
Wireless connectivity in Guitar Hero cannot be underestimated in terms of the added level of immersion it offers for hardcore fans. Guitar Hero is all about the fantasy of rocking in front of thousands of adoring fans, and everyone knows if you aren't jumping off of your PAs, spinning, and swinging your guitar around your neck you aren't putting on a proper show. We can't count the times we've jerked our standard guitars right out of the PS2 in the midst of leaping around our living rooms in the midst of a glorious solo, and the sudden freedom provided by the Freedom V has unlocked our true stage presence.
It's pretty pricey at $53.86, but our credit card quivers.
