Wow...never going to waste my money on that piece of crap. This only makes me think even more that you might as well just go out and buy a guitar and get good at that rather than waste your time on something like an "air guitar" or Guitar Hero. Don't get me wrong, I love guitar hero and everything, but this air guitar thing just looks stupid.

It is good to see that Activision is going to maintain the Guitar Hero brand by only partnering with reputable business people looking to add value. Seriously. What is the use of that product. It must be nice to have a giant mattress of Guitar Hero money to sleep on. Probably comfortable, plus all the hookers and meth you want.

Hopefully the Guitar Hero phenomenon somehow comes back to haunt these Activision people and more importantly the Air Band hero people. You have to hope that it somehow electrocutes people when it rains. That would be some justice...

"Well you have to know how to play the song..."

Ohhh K buddy... I'm pushing a bunch of complex coloured buttons to play smoke on the water.. what are you doing?

not that tapping buttons is any closer to playing the song, but waving your hand in front of your belt buckle is much further away imhop

The reason this fails is because there's no feedback mechanism to know when you're playing correctly versus wrong, or when you've missed a note, or why. For instance, if you miss a sequence, and the box goes silent, did you miss 3 notes or 5? Do I get the best results by just 'button mashing'?

Plus, this isn't a game.

"What's more, it doesn't require batteries, as it runs on pure human dignity."

It better not be powered from pure human dignity. Otherwise the player will have no power to operate after about 60 seconds. Powered on humiliation might be a better choice.

As stupid as that looks, if I have $30 lying around this summer...nah, probably not. But it does seem like a funny gag, as long as it fits and looks like an actual belt. If it stands out too much, then it's just bad.

yeah,
but then you also need to carry around the gay fanny pack boombox as well. So, all left over "but maybe..." factor is gone. It's just crap.

Yeah, I agree with you Grant. That would be the breaking factor for me.

Woah. OK, Guitar Hero wins so hard against Rock Band, this is the best possible add-on to the game.

Then again, maybe not.

At least you don't need a TV screen and you can walk around with it wherever you want.
If you rock wherever you want that is.

I could see kids really loving this until they hit the age where they have some kind of humility.

Imagine how awkward that must feel to be trying to demonstrate a crappy product on camera, and the thing fails pretty much right off the bat?

He just had some camera jitters. After he got warmed up, the thing worked as advertised...

How lame-sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez- he couldn't even get the belt buckle right. Everyone knows if you are rawkin the air guitar, you must be wearing, with no exceptions, a Foreigner belt buckle.

I'm not sure, but this seems to me to be completely fake. Thusly, I call shenanigans!

If it's not shenanigans, then this is the single worst idea ever approved by activision.

And the award for the Biggest Tool goes too.....

This is just absolutely humiliatingly horrible.

But when you got GH money you can basically do whatever you want. I just feel sorry for the kids that get this. Happy b-day I hate you here's your gift.
