BYOG: Konami not making Rock Revolution guitar, bring your own

Forced with making up for lost time in the battle for rhythm game supremacy, Konami is evidently taking the curious path of removing bullet points from the back of
Rock Revolution's future box art. First, despite a corporate lineage that includes
Karaoke Revolution, Konami axed the expected vocal portion, leaving just guitar and drum tracks. (Wouldn't want to cannibalize those
Karaoke Revolution sales, would we?)
Now, Konami has axed the axe, telling MTV that they'll only be offering the unwieldy drum kit in mid-November, about a month after the standalone game launches October 14th. The full peripheral lineup from the
Guitar Hero and
Rock Band games should work just fine with
Rock Revolution but, something tells us Konami's going to have a tough time leading this revolution. Well, there's always a chance of
a legal payday!
