    Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360 Boxed

    Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360

    Red Octane released images of the box art and guitar for Guitar Hero II on the Xbox 360 today, and it looks hella sweet. I really wish I had a 360 about now. This just may be the ultimate version. Downloadable content? Xbox Live online play? Rocking out against complete strangers, brought together only by the power of pure rock? It's almost enough to make me drop some cash on an Xbox right this second. Almost.

    The red SG guitar does have a ton more street cred, in my opinion. The 360 guitar design (while an actual guitar design) reminds me more of Poison-era hairspray rock than anything else. Maybe that's not a bad thing!

    In defense of the Gibson Explorer (the model for this particular Guitar Hero controller), Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Eric Clapton with Cream, Bo Diddley, and Rivers Cuomo of Weezer have all played "X-plorers" at some point in their careers. It's not just a hair metal guitar. (I'd still rather have the SG or the Les Paul model muhself though.)
