Initial product shots of our new product, the XFPS Mini Guitar.
At only half the size of the original, the XFPS Mini Guitar is easier to carry and best choice for gamers, using the real guitar wood for authentic gameplay.
This unit must be used with the XFPS 360 when used on the Xbox 360.
It's also compatible with the PS2 and PS2 Slim.

i think they are spending way too many resources on this... it isn't going to sell that well is it? i mean, it looks really cool, being made out like a real guitar, but you need the FPS system to use it..

Poor trees. I'm not a tree hugging hippy, but this just makes me sad  sad.gif

Poor guy who does those product renders. Please, don't use stochastic sampling or luminance icw radiosity in the future.

I'm interested to see if this will sell at all.

Hey, if I had a PS2 and wanted a mini guitar with buttons that make the air around them glow, this might be something I'd consider.  biggrin.gif

I bet you they sell like.. 2 of them.

Idk, I could see the n00bs that own a PS2 wanting this though  tongue.gif

They should make a regular size one.. USB.. just for 360.. That would be ballin'!

What I don't understand is why they didn't add the XFPS circuit into the guitar so you don't need to extra part? It would be worth a little more money for that to me... Cool idea, but I'm not buying an XFPS just to use this guitar, I will never use the XFPS for anything else. I think it's cheating to use that thing to play games with a keyboard (yeah, im in that camp).

If they make a version that doesn't need the XFPS I will buy one for sure...

I agree poor trees, and our government tax us to death on not being green.

Also wouldn't using wood be a fire hazard?

I always thought electric guitars were made from some kind of plastic/safe material =/.

Yes, because I'm Dutch. Our houses are made of bricks  tongue.gif
Not to mention, houses are useful. These things don't seem to be.

What is all this shit about trees!?  You'd rather everything be made from plastic, which is created by refining non-renewable, waste and pollution-creating petroleum?  Get a clue... and go plant some more trees instead of whining.

shouldn't this be "also compatible with the xbox" instead of also compatible with the ps2

since you need another device to make it work with the xbox

Some people don't seem to reckognise sarcasm or a joke. Beautiful. It started as a joke, but since you are so serious about it.
Plastic can be recycled. Your car's interior is made of recycled plastic, as is the housing of your xbox. The sooner the oil is gone, the better. There are alternative energie sources available, but it seems kapitalism (especially the big industry giants) are not ready yet to start switching to these alternatives. Making money is more important.

I so do not want one of theese. They look ugly and are way too small imo. I don't think they will sell many at all, waste of money developing and manufacturing theese.

that's awesome.  how ironic that most of this post all of a sudden became about wood.

anyways, those guitars look neat, but that's about all i can say positive about them...

Looks like they didn't even take lefties into consideration with that piss-poor asymmetrical design. Those bottom 2 buttons on the fret board are going to be impossible for lefties to reach (whatever they're for).

Am I the only person considering buying a XFPS just so I can get this mini-guitar?
