WTF! The PlayStation 3 and Wii bundles have them, but not the Xbox 360

this sucks. i hate it when i leave my guitar for gh2 plugged in and then when i turn on my xbox it auto goes to the first controller. then i need to turn off stuff and everything and it makes it a hassle to get my real controller to be the first one. i need the wireless one.

Is there any reason why they're doing this? Or are they just 360 haters :(

Why? Don't you want a reason to play your Wii?

Maybe Microsoft doesn't let others make their wireless accessories.

Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos stated, "The cost of wireless technology on the Microsoft side is higher and to be able to offer those bundles at a price point that would be reasonable for consumers it was necessary ... on the 360 side we are also bundling a hub."

So, that's why. Money, money, money....

Either Microsoft wants too much of it, or Harmonix doesn't wanna come off of it... either way, they are both to blame.

Agreed. We've been playing games with chords since games began. No big deal there.

I'm not bothered by cords because as Ashmedai I've been gaming with cords my whole life. However it seems incredibly stupid to release a controller for the Xbox 360 without atleast a wireless version. I don't care what controller it is but all 3 next gen consoles are designed for wireless. Doing otherwise is retarded especially when you have wireless for the other two consoles. One reason I felt like GH2 was abit of a rip off. Oh well though I never had any intentions of playing Rock Band. GH3 I might pick up but other wise I'm pretty happy with Boom Boom Rocket. :P
