PS3 Rock Band Bundle = Wireless, Xbox 360? Not So Much.

Sunday September 9, 2007
While we still have yet to see a real price tag, some solid Rockband details are starting to finally emerge. We now know that the Rock Band Bundle for the Xbox 360 and PS3 will have one major difference, cords.

Let's get two things straight. There it looks like there will be wireless guitars for the 360 version, they simply won't come in the bundle (Microsoft charges big for the use of its wireless tech). Second, the drums and microphones of BOTH the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions will require cords.

Simply put, the PS3 version will come with wireless guitars, and the Xbox 360 Rock Band Bundle will not.

Does it make a difference? It does to me. I know quite a few folks who splashed out the extra cash for wireless Guitar Hero controllers.

Wireless guitars make it real easy for me to decide which version I'm going to buy.

a year old and now I’m going to comment, go me.

I still went with the 360. My reason? Cross compatibility. PS3 you have to buy guitar controllers for both Guitar Hero and Rock Band separately. Who’s ripping off who now?
