Wireless Wooden Stratocaster Replica
August 28th, 2009 by Sean
The latest Xbox 360 guitar controller from Mad Catz, first announced during E3, is like normal Rock Band instruments, except made of wood. In other words, it’s like a real Fender guitar, except without strings:
I actually have a real Fender Strat Sunburst guitar made in Fullerton, CA (USA Model). I’d love to get one of these so I better start saving up for it.
Check out the video below of it in action:
At $300.00 USD, it’s a little pricey, but considering it’s made of real wood, has a real Fender paint job and basically a real guitar less strings, it’s worth it.

Space Invaders USB Roll Up Keyboard
November 7th, 2008 by Sean
Bring some life to your desktop with this ultra cool, retro, fully flexible, Space Invaders silicone keyboard for your Windows PC or Apple Mac:
The QWERTY keyboard has all the letters and numbers you would expect, but each letter and number is set inside the shape of a Space Invader for that retro cool look and feel.
Apart from its obvious advantages of being fully cake, coffee and generally spill proof, the Space Invaders Roll Up Keyboard board is ultra quiet.
As an added bonus, you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth, so it’s a lot more hygienic and easy to clean than those clunky desktop keyboards.
While we’re talking about Space Invaders, don’t forget to play our version of Space Invaders in our free Modern Classic Gaming online arcade.
If you’re interested in getting this keyboard, you can buy one for around $31.65 USD by visiting the official Space Invaders roll up keyboard product page.

Platinum Wireless Wavebird Controller
November 4th, 2008 by Sean
Earlier this evening I was searching eBay looking for another Wavebird controller so I would have four and came across this eBay auction:
Brand new wireless wavebird platinum sealed in retail packaging. Very hard to find in this condition. Great for Smash Bros. Ships free via USPS Priority with delivery confirmation. 2 available.
This Nintendo GameCube Wavebird sure is a beauty, all sealed and minty fresh as seen in the auction picture below but…
The only issue I have with this auction is the controller is $114.99 USD. Yikes. I don’t need a brand new sealed Wavebird that bad.
Apparently this seller has 2 Wavebirds available at this price if anyone is interested in paying way too much 
I did a little more checking and found out that the eBay 90-day eBay average price is $24.00 USD, so I’ll just keep looking for a used Wavebird.
