First True 7.1 Surround Sound Headset Makes Me Want A Better Sound Card

Back in 2002 I dropped a large chunk of change on a pair of “true” 6.1 surround sound headphones. They were essentially a pair of normal headphones with extra speakers extending out to either side of each ear cup. They looked ridiculous. I loved them.

Is Realistic PC Pinball Worth $US300?

Now I’ve stated in the past that I am one of the world’s biggest fans of video game pinball, from both a height and width and level of devotion standpoint, but I’m just not sure if I am ready for Nanotech Entertainment’s Pinball Wizard Controller. Sure it features real flipper buttons, a real plunger, and the ability to detect motion for realistic table nudging action, but there is no way in hell I could ever justify spending $US299 on a controller just to play pinball. An actual pinball table, perhaps, but not a controller, no matter how appealing the thought of having a real plunger may be.

Logitech Unveils $US250 Guitar Hero Controller

Looking for something to spend lots of money on for the Guitar Hero fan in your life this holiday season? Look no further than the newly announced Premiere Edition Wireless Controller for Guitar Hero from Logitech. Featuring a wooden neck, rosewood fingerboard, metal frets, metal tuning pegs, and the new touch-sensitive neck slider, this is the end-all, be-all of guitar controllers. The buttons even use Logitech’s rubber dome keyboard technology for quieter action. All this, and it’s wireless. I think I am in love. Is it $US250 worth of love? I suppose I’ll find out once temptation hits retail this December. Hit the link for the gallery

Mad Catz Rock Band Fender Bass – The Best Rock Band Bass

I’ve been pretty excited about the Mad Catz Fender Rock Band Bass since it was first announced, though my cultivated distrust of the quality of Mad Catz products made me bit wary of the product. It took a heartfelt assurance of the guitar’s quality from Mad Catz’s Global PR & Comms Manager Alex Verrey to convince me to give it a go, and I have to say I’m pretty glad I did. I can honestly say that this is the best damn replica bass guitar for Rock Band, and only part of me is poking fun at it being one of the only ones available.

Ace Combat 6 Flightstick Bundle Triumpantly Returns

I got into Ace Combat 6 for the Xbox 360 far too late to get in on the hot, flightstick bundle action, and I’ve been regretting it for months now, especially considering the prices a used model of the special controller have been going for on eBay. Well these guys are going to feel awfully silly now as Namco Bandai announces the return of the Ace Combat 6 Flightstick bundle! Available exclusively at Best Buy, the pack comes complete with Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, the Hori Ace-Edge flightstick, a custom Xbox 360 faceplate, and a copy of the award-winning aerial combat documentary Speed & Angels. The total package retails for $US149.99.
