Longtime readers will know that I’m a big Guitar Hero fan. One annoyance is the good old chord chaining you to the PS2. Now Red Octance has announced a new wireless guitar controller for the PS2, and it’s white. A nice glossy white at that.

See old controller above. New controller below. Note that the select button doesn’t seem to be placed any better. Doh!

The suggested retail price will be $59.99. My question is this: will it work with the PS3? My answer is this: probably not. While there have been rumours of a PS2 – PS3 adapter peripheral, that would be for wired controllers only. The PS3 uses BlueTooth for its wireless, and this controller probably does not.
