Guitar Hero and Rock Band both have a passionate group of followers who regularly play these games. Some of us can’t play a real instrument beyond the recorder that we learned in second grade. Others happen to be talented musicians in real life as well. If you know how to rock out on a real drum set or if you feel inclined to learn after all the hours you have spent on Rock Band, these are the drums for you.

This custom designed drum set was used in the studio to record dozens of drum tracks for Guitar Hero 2, 3, Rocks the 80s, and Rock Band. In case you are interested (since us Guitar Hero nuts tend to be into finishes and whatnot), the color is sunburst fade over mapa burl. Specifics include :
SIZES ARE: 2 KICKS-22X16 AND 20X16, SN-14X5.5, TOMS-10X8, 12X8, 13X9, 14X12, 15X13. HARDWARE IS 9000 SERIES: 4 BOOM CYMBAL STANDS, 1 DBL CYMBAL STAND, DBL TOM MOUNT ON BD, 2 DBL TOM STANDS FOR FLOORS, SN STAND, HI HAT STAND, DRUM THRONE, CASES FOR ALL. BRAND NEW 5000 DBL PEDAL(NEVER USED)
And I thought the Rock Band instruments created clutter. Prepare to empty out half your gaming room if you want to buy this drum set.

Not many people were surprised when Toshiba finally announced that they will no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD players and recorders. When Microsoft followed suit with their statement that they were withdrawing from HD DVD, rumors began to circulate about how low the price for the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player would drop. Official word is that you can now expect to pick up this add on for an estimated $49.99 in most regions.
Features include :
$50 is actually low enough that I would consider purchasing this right now. An additional USB port sounds nice (it would especially come in handy if I played Rock Band *cough*) and there are tons of sales out there on HD DVDs. The “Get 5 free movies when you buy select HD DVD players” deal is good for a few more days, and Amazon is having a “Save 50% on HD DVDs” sale for a limited time as well. Many of their titles are discounted even deeper than half off so you can find some great bargains in there. Perhaps the time is finally right if you have been on the fence about making this purchase, or maybe it is just time to say good riddance and get a Blu-ray player.

Portal’s pink heart covered paper weighted companion cube is so yesterday. Catch up with the times by instead creating the lovable turret from everybody’s favorite action filled puzzle game. Making one of these would be the perfect way to celebrate the newly announced Portal 2. Beware though, apparently this paper turret tips over just as easily as the turrets in the actual game.
