Activision and Logitech collaborate on new GH:WT controllers

Um, the detachable neck is a brilliant idea. It makes it much more portable (it's a serious pain in the ass bringing my X-Plorer anywhere) and allows for interchangeable faceplates. RedOctane just did a poor job with them last time. Hopefully the new guitar (I wonder what we're going to have to call this one?) will be better, though nobody I know in real life has had LP problems.

MrLarson: No, it said the first one would be available later this year. RedOctane is making great bundled instruments; Logitech is just making even better ones, with a matching price.

This sounds great, but I don't expect the prices to be as cheap as some people hope. I would expect something from $300-$400 for this depending on the quality and, as great as this sounds, I will not be buying it unless it is a $20 or less price difference. I might not even buy the standard bundle and just use my rock band drums.

Price aside, I do expect some very high quality instruments coming from logitech.

my SG is holding up pretty good(whammy won't return to rest position, I need to do it manually).My SG and I have had good times(first expert FC, beating GH1,2,3,A for the first time, 5*s on Free Bird, etc.) Though, a new guitar will be better.

1. I am pretty sure that the rock band drums won't work with this game bc there is another button or something so u are kinda screwed there
2. I think the only reason they are releasing this on ps2 is because the ps3 fucking blows... Everone knows that the ps3 sucks and is overpriced so like hellashes said it would not include alot of customers if they didn't release it on ps2.

I don't know if buying the instruments for this game will be worth it. I bought the extra aerosmith guitar just so I could just buy the disk and no instruments for WT.... I made that mistake with rock band...

relax everyone, this is Logitech...it's gonna be fucking awesome!!!

Even if they do make a detachable neck, chances are that there won't be any problems like the GH3 guitar.

Nice to know you have such an informed opinion.

Detachable neck != problems! Look, if being detachable made things bad, every single device you have to PLUG IN would have the same problem. That means that every single electronic device in your home should be breaking down due to the connector.

Guess what? They're not.

It is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT POSSIBLE to make a guitar with a reliable detachable neck, and I have full confidence that RedOctane has done so this time (yes, it's still detachable). Hell, the Wii Les Paul didn't even have the problems that seem to be common on the black one. If you can't get over it, even after the lack of reports of broken ones, you're more than welcome to use some other guitar and miss out on the new features.
