MadCatz now an official rock band peripheral maker

This deal includes wired and wireless peripheral, I think it smells like a lot of trouble!

MadCatz?  BROKEN CONFIRMED FOR ROCK BAND!

This really needed its own thread?

At least MadCatz aren't making a Wii port?

[UncleBob]

Well, considering the issues with how badly made the actual pack-in accessories were made, this could be a step up!

Yes because if someone signs Pelican or Madcatz as an official peripheral maker for a game then they are foolish or trying to force people crappy peripherals that break in 2 - 6 weeks in the hopes of that person would buy a replacement and turn it into a vicious cycle.

I don't think anything could be worse than the ones they already use, namely the guitar. I don't know anyone whose Rock Band guitar still works. The strum bar is annoying enough from the onset, but slowly strumming stops working altogether. The frets are loud and uncomfortable, and, eventually, unresponsive. It's just terrible. There's really not much room for MadCatz to more poorly design a guitar.

People just end up buying GH3 controllers anyway.

I'm curious what Mad Katz will make these out of.

My money is on sh*t.
