It used to be that a hairbrush or an old broomstick were sufficient to transform you into the Rock God of your dreams. Then came Guitar Hero, and later, Rock Band, with their dinky plastic instruments. But it seems even that isn't enough, so Logitech has announced a "proper" guitar to hook up to your PlayStation 2 or 3.
The Wireless Guitar Controller, Premiere Edition, with its rather non-rock name, is a solid, wood bodied axe in the spirit of a Fender Stratocaster (well, except for the headstock). The fretboard is fashioned from rosewood, the frets and the tuning pegs are metal, as are the bridge and vibrato arm (or whammy bar).
The $250 "guitar" hooks up wirelessly using Logitech's preferred 2.4GHz band (a USB dongle comes in the box) to the PlayStation and works with any Guitar Hero game. If you're rocking the World Tour edition, you can use the "Touch Sensitive Neck Slider" and the "Star Power button". The thing even comes with a gig bag, inside of which your controller will actually pass for a real guitar.
We suggest you rough the case up a little, leave your hair unwashed, grab a can of Carlsberg Special Brew and head onto London's Tube. You'll fit right in. Available December.
