RockGamer.com has just received a pair of Peak Starpex “Instrument Quality” PS2/PS3 wireless guitar controllers for FUNDE RAZOR 2008. Well, let me tell you, these puppies are BEASTS!

For those of you living under a rock, let me remind you that Rock Band 2 SHIPS THIS WEEKEND on the Xbox 360!!! (Sunday 9/14 to be exact).
But guess what? You still have time to pre-order the goods and have them delivered to your door on release date. And just to make things a bit easier for everybody — cause that’s what code monkey friends do — Xbox, PS2/PS3 and Wii owners alike can find their product of choice on this handy table below. Just click on your preferred product and platform and you will be redirected to that product’s page on Amazon.com. On a personal note, I bought the original Rock Band bundle from Amazon and it showed up on my doorstep, no hassle, no waiting in line, the same day the game shipped!
So what are you waiting for? Go grab mommy’s credit card while she’s out smoking. You know you want to.

One more week, one more week!! We have Rock Band for the Xbox at our house and we will be getting Rock Band 2 in just over one week! So what, you say? Well, I just realized this is the last week that we will be playing our DLC songs in Rock Band 1 - pretty soon we’ll be playing all of our DLC with our Rock Band 2 characters! How exciting!! Of course, it will be just a little bit longer for the Playstation folks, and actually I probably shouldn’t even bring up the whole Wii thing…..maybe I should just move on to a safer subject and talk about this week’s downloadable content for Rock Band! (whew - back on safe ground again!)
The folks at Harmonix will have in store on Tuesday for you Metalheads:
All That Remains Pack (240 points/$2.99), including
“This Calling” - (80 Points 99¢)Code Monkey Smeeguel is in Quebec until tomorrow night so we’ll get him working on some video previews on DLC Central as soon as he gets back. Until then, you’ll have to wait, but you can do as they do in SouthPark and “Blame Canada”!
With just over 2 weeks until Rock Band 2 ships for the Xbox 360, are ya wondering which songs will be the hardest on drums? Easiest on vocals? Wonder no more, as the fine folks at IGN (with the help of Harmonix) have compiled difficulty listings for each song, for individual instruments and full band, from easiest song to the most difficult. Time to start organizing those playlists on your iPod!
Listings are after the break:

While it may be old news to some, I’m betting there are quite a few of you out there who haven’t heard the latest confirmations from both Microsoft & Sony concerning instrument controller compatibility between the big upcoming music games.
With the controller “lock-out” between Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock, many music gamers are loathe to purchase multiple full new setups this fall when the newest titles and equipment debut in order to play each game to its capacity. Well, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 owners can now put those fears to rest:
Thanks to posts located HERE at the official Playstation blog, and HERE at the Gamerscore (Official Xbox) blog, both companies have confirmed that any instrument controller from Rock Revolution, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Rock Band 2 will work between all 3 games. Now, instead of buying everything, you can make the choice you want, knowing you will be able to play everything with little hassle.
Or you can wait and see what our Rockin’ Reviewer, Cena, has to say about the new equipment once he gets his hands on them. I’m curious to see how much of the new gear he’s gonna spring for, and where he’s gonna put it all!
With just about a month to go before Rock Band 2 hits store shelves (and my tiny living room), word is starting to hit the streets on some of the more specific details about the game. IGN and others have reported the list of Achievements (360) and Trophies (PS) you can earn for your special (read: short, yellow bus) skillz. Here’s the list for both below.
Taken from Harmonix’s press release, and from our earlier “Rock Band 2 Features” story, there’s an important piece of info that you may have skipped over if you didn’t read carefully. 84 songs on a disc is a LOT of rockin’ to get through, but Harmonix wanted to have over 100 songs included from the get go! Due to time constraints, the amount of tracks got cut down. However, the upside of this is that those cut tracks will be available this fall (presumably on release day) as FREE downloadable content!
