Just another USer here

Post links I just got a fuze and want my phone to work better.

Thanks,

I wouldn't be suprissed if these songs are the Master Traxx from the Blizzard Album (Hence: Rhoads original Recordings) but the digitization of Zakk Wylde is a good thing as he has been the face of and a GUITAR HERO for OZZY since 1988 (Not looking up dates just guessing) or so.

He truely is a Guitar Hero, while he is not Randy Rhoads, he has taken alot of cues from him as well as the influence of Randy's style and mechanics, they have rubbed off on Wylde. Remeber Ozzy passed on WYLDE because he was a Randy Clone and he did not want that, It's wasn't until Wylde played from him Live that Ozzy Took him. His Demo/audition Tape originally got thrown to the bottom of the pile.

Also Black Label Society has Music in GTWT - so Wylde as a DIgital charater makes sense on a few levels. One cause Wylde IS Black Label and 2 becuase he is Ozzy's only legendary Guitar player since Iomi and Rhoads (Jake E Lee and John Holmes don't count) Wylde is as popular as Ozzy, Dimebag and even Hendrix (in circles) he is truely a Guitar hero and it would make sense for a OZZY GUITAR PLAYER to be on the Crowley and Crazy Train Traxx not just IZZY SParks or REV RUN (GH: AREO) -
I rather see a Rhoads Look Alike (and True Ozzy Guitar Player) then a Rapper riffing out some Crazy Train.

I hope they do a Younger Digitization (late 80's early 90's) look for Wylde as his new look is alot like Dimebag and very rugged - not the look he used to get mostly famous.

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...

This was a T@sty Game indeed.

Your all welcome.

Ok a few things need to be layed out here.

If you pre Ordered a ps3 then you MIGHT get one on the 17th.

If you were Number one on that line - chances are you are number 3 since employees got the first (2). So you have a better chance than most to get a PS3.

If you are a Eb/Gamestop employee and you got one of the 2 allowed for employees then you most likely got yourself a system on the 17th.

NOW... Lets lay out some rules.

Ebay will usually do what they want... If they kill your auction then your auction is dead.

IF you decide to list a pre-order then do it by ebay rules or suffer the consiquences (
