Wireless Les Paul Loose Neck Fix

The Guitar Hero III wireless Les Paul controller is, in my opinion, the best guitar controller on the market and is what I use as my primary guitar for Rock Band.  However, there is a critical design/manufacturing problem with the detachable neck that can cause a lot of grief and missed notes - a loose neck.

Nyko FrontMan PS3 Guitar Delayed?

The Nyko FrontMan PS3 wireless guitar, announced at CES 2008, seems like it could be the answer to many PS3 Rock Band and Guitar Hero players prayers by officially supporting both Rock Band and GH III on the Playstation 3.

Originally scheduled to be released in March, with dates ranging from March 17th at Gamestop to March 25th at Amazon, it now appears that it has been delayed to sometime in April according to the Nyko website.

Hopefully it’s only a small delay so PS3 players can finally start to play with a full Rock Band band and also play some local multiplayer Guitar Hero with only having to purchase one additional guitar instead of two.

UPDATE: It now appears that GameStop has made the delay even greater by changing the release date to 05/12/2008
