to the beat of the drum: praise the mass market
i never understood completely why guitar hero was/is so successfull (why not spending the same time to learn how to rock a real guitar and being able to impress the girls at the next camp fire even without electricity and a tv set?!) and that it somehow even started some kind of new category of games but i’m happy to see that Alesis now announced a “deluxe replacement” drum controller for the “Rock Band” game.
Looks like it is playable, will come for 299 eurocredtis and is not only usable to play the game but to control your favourite “insert hardware/software that produces drum sounds thingie”.
maybe i can complete my 1 man garagenpunkband setup now - without costing me an arm and a leg.
