Rock Band=Wired Guitars?
Shed a tear Xbox 360 owners, as the bundled guitars in the Xbox 360's version of Rock Band will not be wireless. Yes, while your friends are beating on the drum kit or screaming into the mic, you won't be able to dive off of your couch into a pile of empty pizza boxes and spent soda cans while rocking out to "Blitzkrieg Bop."
The news comes from Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos via the OXM podcast, reasoning that Microsoft's proprietary wireless technology is too expensive. With worry that the additional cost would slow sales of the already high priced bundle, Rock Band's makers decided instead to use traditional wires. We tend to disagree with this decision, as you can't put a price on freedom of movement when you're rocking out.
This news is a blow to the Rock Band for the 360, as the game will have wireless guitars on the Playstation 3, and Guitar Hero III will be available with wireless axes on all next-gen platforms. Hopefully for 360 owners, Harmonix and Microsoft will be able to work out a deal in the future.

This is my *UPDATED* rig. (I took out my broken fan just for you Juggernaut)
Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good,
But never actually come close to reality?
Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.
You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this poem-
Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.
1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against
The sorry bastard who made you sad.
2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.
4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much Worse it could be until you quit whining.
6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.
7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well
Again. I don't want whatever you have.
8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.
9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask;
"because you are my friend".
Friendship is like pissing your pants,
everyone can see it,
But only you can feel the true warmth.
