Gene Simmons presents 'AXE Guitar' for Guitar Hero, Rock Band

Gene Simmons is getting himself a ticket on the money train that is the rhythm game scene with the branded guitar peripheral you see above. While on other consoles the peripheral will work with both Rock Band and Guitar Hero, for Wii, it'll only work with the latter, initially, as the version hitting shelves on December 1st is limited in functionality. If you can wait, though, on January 31st a version that is compatible with both games will release.

The listed price for the peripheral is $79.99. Anybody like what they see?
