211 - Close But No Cigar
Playstation 3. The system that'll be awesome EVENTUALLY.
I'm real excited about the Wii version of Guitar Hero 3, but hearing about Bret Michaels in the PS3 (and 360 version, to be fair) just made me laugh. Oh wow Sony, can I pay an extra $500 to play a game that has the dude from Poison in it? Can I please? I also heard because the wireless sucks on the PS3 all the notes you play on the controller are slightly delayed. I'll stick with a working wireless system, thanks.
The makers of GH3 seem to be sucking up a lot to Bret Michaels for some reason. A Poison song is in one of the levels, Bret Michaels himself is in the game, and something from his freaking SOLO BAND is in the bonus tracks. Why this guy? I mean, of all the people you could get. Tom Morello and Slash appear, but you couldn't get a better singer? This is why lead singers suck.
Final note, Sony dropping the PS3's price to $399...but you still have to download all the firmware and the wireless still sucks. Y'know if you were to buy a Wii ($250 new) and Guitar Hero 3 ($90 with controller) it would STILL be less than just getting the PS3 alone. In another year when they've dropped the price another $100 and Metal Gear Solid 4 is out, maybe I'll think about it.
