Reports emerge that Red Octane's rocking sequel won't be featuring a wireless controller on Xbox 360...
When Red Octane confirmed last week that they'd be releasing a wireless guitar for Guitar Hero II on PlayStation2, a ripple of optimism emerged that the publisher would be following suit with the Xbox 360 version in 2007.
Such hopes were dashed today with a statement from Red Octane, confirming that only a wired guitar will be released for Xbox 360, due to Microsoft's proprietary wireless technology.
Speaking to eToychest, Red Octane's Brian Lam said:
"Their wireless technology is proprietary...so they aren't allowing 3rd party manufacturers to make anything at the moment....so until they allow us to do so, we aren't able to."
It would be somewhat ironic if a current-gen console like PlayStation2 gets the wireless guitar, whilst the futuristic, next-gen Xbox 360 is left with a wired one...Let's hope that Microsoft will change its mind in the next few months.
We'll have more news shortly...

i think its going to be the best guitar hero ever. it will be good cause xbox will have good downloadable content and unlike the ps3, xbox is better and there will probably will be a wireless guitar. but it doesnt matter

wireless guitars should be available with gh3 in the near future. until then, i still enjoy the game. Ive just earned 5 stars on jordan and freebird, even with a wired guitar.

So let me get this right... I pay £69.99 (RRP) for Guitar Hero 2 on 360 (without wireless), and then probably have to pay another £40 to get the superior line-up of the original... Activision should have had all the original tracks available from Day 1 for free...

Guitar hero 2 is totally awsome. The one thing that bothers me though, is that didn't put enough notes in hard mode. Some areas where they give you 2 notes to play, but you hear for example another 2-3 notes played automatically in between, i just think they could have put a couple extra notes in some places. . .and taken away some notes in others, its hard mode not expert. we don't need a huge section of seemingly random notes to hit, i mean its hard mode. . .not expert mode. Awsome game though. . .i am forever a loyal fan, and those of you who say it sucks, can kiss my ass!!!
