So you like the Simpsons and you like Guitar Hero, well then friends step write up to this spanking new controller. You too can rock with Otto’s own special edition guitar controller. Unfortunately this hot item is only available for the PS2 version, no Xbox 360 love just yet, but something tells me that will come next.
The site even has controllers, bundles and wires with Simpson’s character’s plastered all over them, more gratuatous Simpson’s items to pawn off their likenesses. Check out all the Simpson’s swag and junk here.

So now that Rock Band is right around the corner, what will you choose to shred on? Are you going for the glory and the microphone, or planning to play some bass, going to shred it up on lead guitar or lay down the beats on the drums? I am thinking I will go for either the lead guitar or bass guitar, as I do not plan on singing along. What will your path to stardom be when Rock Band hits?
There will be a special edition version of Rock Band for the Xbox 360 and PS3 that includes the game, a guitar, a drum set and a microphone for $170. (guitar on the 360 will be wired and PS3 will be wireless) This is a hefty price tag for gamers that live alone, now if you have three buddies and can split the cost…rock on! The price tag may be an issue for this title.

Anthrax - Caught In A Mosh
Iron Maiden - Wrathchild

Sony sent out an email today letting us know the PSP version of God of War will see a Special Edition demo this September.
From the email:
YOUR GOD OF WAR: CHAINS OF OLYMPUS SPECIAL EDITION DEMO IS COMING 9/2007
Ready At Dawn Studios, the developers of Daxter, in collaboration with the Sony Santa Monica Studio, bring you the next chapter in the epic God of War(R) saga. And you can rest assured it will deliver everything fans have come to expect and love from the franchise–a visceral, epic experience deeply rooted in the God of War story.
We’re excited to tell you that the demo is only part of the fun. Before you actually receive the disc, we’ve got plenty of exclusive
info coming your way. Watch your email over the next few months for insider information on the development of this latest installment in
the God of War saga. Let’s get started by introducing the myth-making masterminds behind the game:
MEET THE GAME DIRECTOR.
Hi, I’m Ru Weerasuriya, the Game Director for God of War(R): Chains of Olympus. Thanks for signing up for the demo. Stay tuned to hear more from me and from the rest of the team over the next few months on the development of the game.
Sounds good to me! Can’t wait until September to give my PSP a workout.
Check out the special edition Texter from Phantasy Star Universe here. It does not show what it looks like but it tells you it comes with stickers, posters, a code for a free t-shirt and a special metal case. Of most importance though is the disclaimer on the bottom that states “This product will not function with any wireless control device, including the Official Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.” Well isn’t that a kick in the teeth, no wireless love for our great new Texter, then what is the point? So I need to buy a wired controller to work this thing, I am quickly disappointed.
::Update:: This is the Texter not the TID, got them mixed up by the way the SEGA site read, my apologies for any confusion.
For those of us who are really into GTA, I mean really into it, can buy the collector sets to end all collector sets reports Take2Games. Here is what it includes:
The Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition will be presented in a customized Grand Theft Auto metal safety deposit box. The box will contain:
- Grand Theft Auto IV on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system or the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, both with special packaging
- The Grand Theft Auto IV Art Book, featuring never-before-seen production artwork from Grand Theft Auto IV
- Selected soundtrack CD from Grand Theft Auto IV, featuring new material from top artists, only available on this release
- An exclusive Rockstar keychain for the safety deposit box keys
- Completing the collection is a limited edition Rockstar duffel bag
This Special Edition will cost $89.99. Not all that bad considering what Halo 3 is charging for that sweet Master Chief helmet you can’t wear or drink out of. The Special Edition, like the game will hit the shelves October 16th. Preorders should be available soon due to the fact this was announced today.
