People might have seen this before, but we messed around with it in the office today and it's pretty nifty. With the xinput drivers from microsoft you can actually use the xbox 360 guitar (which is just USB) with it. Pretty nifty. Obviously the graphics won't be as good as the 360 version, but if you like guitar hero and dont want to buy a whole system for it, it's a cool option. We haven't tried it, but supposedly you can import the other guitar hero tracks directly from the 360 or ps2 discs, so you could theoretically just rent them and get all the tracks. I believe the 360 guitar can be had for $50 by itself.

technically you don't even have to buy a guitar bc it lets you play w/the keyboard, but we tried that and it's totally ghey.
