    Activision buys Red Octane

    "Activision today announced that it will acquire RedOctane, publisher of last year's PlayStation 2 surprise hit Guitar Hero. The publisher said that the acquisition will give it "an early leadership position in music-based gaming, which the company expects to be one of the fastest growing genres in the coming years."" (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6149653.html)

    Guitar Hero series just got a lot more cash to work with to get songs.

    Good. This (potentially) means the Guitar Hero series is gonna get milked for all it's worth, like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

      I believe Octane already said it will be milked months ago, saying to expect 5 or so IN 1 YEAR lol.

            Any chances they bring Guitar Hero to Xbox?

                    that would be killer...I just would rather not buy a unique peripheral/game for a system i probably won't be keeping that much longer...and can you say wireless guitar?

                        Are you saying you hope that it will be released for the 360 or that you plan on getting rid of your 360?

                        I have played about 15 minutes of this while it was on display and think that the game is amazingly fun.

                          While I don't want to have to spend another 80 bucks on a controller/game combo, I do find the thought of having a wireless guitar controller to be tempting.
