Spoilers: no one really cares.

I'm listening to No One Knows - QOTSA as I read this. Coincidence? I think not.

I reaplied "I don't really know..." just because as far as I could see that was the only way to see the poll results.

MOAR SPOILERS: No one bought GH: Aerosmith for the 360.

teh internetz strikes again!

I'd say, judging by the large number of people who don't know but want to feel included that a lot of people haven't had the chance to play any of these games, myself included. Not for a lack of desire but for a lack of money.

It just kind of reminds me that the first couple of years of the latest generation of gaming consoles is always the crappiest for those of us without much disposable income... Come ooooooon price drops!!

joystiq polls tend to turn out amusing

ehh aerosmith does suck so i can understand those results

shouldnt it have been just a yes or no answer to the question anyway? i dont really get why a poll was needed in the first place honestly.

either way, it would appear not many people on this site bought the game anyway.

Maybe this would matter if Aerosmith was worth spending a nanosecond on...but they aren't. So I think the poll results make total sense.

In retrospect, there was not nearly enough Crash Bandicoot in that poll, Joystiq.

This is totally off topic and I hope you guys forgive me but I just ran across an article on IGN about Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts! Looks like the game is sticking to its roots while expanding the game in new ways. 3 new vids and 4 pages of gameplay previews.

Really good stuff if you've been having doubts (as I have) regarding the game.

Dear Joystiq,

Heres a story for you. I went to my local Gamestop today. They had the new Demo in their Xbox Kiosk. THe new demo had a bunch of new demos (obviously) and lots of videos and downloadable content (GOW2 VIDEO!!!). I Noticed there was a Guitar hero WIRED lespaul on the interactive, there used to be a wired Xplorer - but it's been changed for months. Anyways, The wired guitar obiously is an ACTIVISION product (probibly just for demos's as wireless would be rediculas - the store employees would have to change the batterys every day) But here is where it gets interesting.

There has always been a Guitar hero demo on the Kiosk at gamestop for as far back as guitar hero 2 over a year and a half ago, but now with GH: Aerosmith the demo has changed - the demo is now GH: Aerosmith, but thats not the strange part - there is also a ROCKBAND (PLAYABLE) demo on there. Now I know microsoft don't take a bunch of different demo's and put them on a demo disk. They have to get the publishers permission to add them to their official kisok disk. It would make sense for GH: Aerosmith to be on the new demo and continue to use the Wired les paul as that is an Activision game and peripheral and they are going to want to market/promote the new GH: game until GH:World tour hits. But how did ROCKBAND end up on that demo? Most likely EA had to let microsoft put that demo on the disk (give permission) and of course it is a Game thats uses a GUITAR (+ other instruments) for the Demo. I can see Microsoft saysing to EA, YES - put rockband on our kisok demo disk and it will be in every gamestop across the USA and Canada, but EA didn't give 4000+ rockband guitars to put on the kiosk, people are playing rockband, the demo, on an ACTIVISION guitar and im sure EA knows it. How and why would Activision allow this? If this was a Playstation 3 kiosk?, this would not work as Guitar hero guitars don't work on Rockband and vice versa. With the 360 though, we know that the Guitar hero guitar (so far) are universal with every Guitar rock game (ALL THE GUITAR HEROS and ROCKBAND).

Something smells here. Did microsoft strong arm Activision and say, "We don't care, were letting EA put a rockband demo on our kisok and useing your guitar or were pulling all 4000 les pauls off our kisok" ?? Did EA offer to put a Rockband guitar on every kisok but microsoft refuse since it dont work with Guitar Hero and that has been on their kiosk for 15+ months now?

This beggs the question of, should microsoft tell all GAME PUBLISHERS, if you make a music intrument peripheral for the 360, you have to let other pubishers, and allow their games to work as well, on the peripheral you developed?

Tell me what you think?

IS this a good story?

Can you make this into a big deal? I think it is a big deal since we have EA and Activision constantly going back and forth about who's instruments belong to who, what works on what and stuff like that, yet MICROSOFT BLANTLY PUTS BOTH GAMES ON ONE DEMO DISK with only ONE GUITAR, the GUITAR HERO GUITAR. I think that speaks to who microsoft finds the better Game.

Please let me know what you think.

PS: I posted this whole Email as a comment in the RB/GH story...

That poll sucks.

Decent game, but only a renter for me. And my RockBand Guitar DOES indeed work for it.

With the patch released a day or two after the game's release, Rock Band guitars do in fact work.

It's a decent rental. Some of the extra songs are great, like All The Young Dudes and She Sells Sanctuary.

I thought it worked on the 360 and didn't work on the PS3.

Activision's attitude toward controller compatibility is asinine, and makes me not want to buy their games.

The poll is very conclusive. It says that 10.3% of the people that answered are t00ls.

The wired Rock Band guitar works on Guitar Hero Aerosmith for 360.

This is fact.

Rented it for a week trip.

Took wireless RockBand Strat. Went through the menus. At game time it said "An unsupported peripheral" or something. Have to play with controller :(

Sucks arse!
