Rockband rant!!!

It's not often someone starts off a blog with a rant, (at least not to my knowledge), but i am in the mood for a rant, so rant i shall!!

What has put me in this ranting mood you may ask? If you did actually just ask this question you're obviously not that observant as it's in big letters above this post.

Today i purchased a preowned copy of rockband at GAME for £9.99 and was greatly looking forward to playing it when i got back home. I happen to already own a guitar pheripheral from when i got guitar hero 3 last year, so i thought everything was going to work fine.

Which is, of course, a sure indicator that everythinng is going to go completely wrong.

Well, it didn't go completely wrong, the game worked at least, but the peheripheral wasn't compatible with the game!

I know what you're thinking right now (assuming anyone actually reads this. And thinks things while reading it.) Surely no one could turn something so trivial into a full blown rant?

Just watch me.

Xbox 360 rockbanders get FULL cross-compatability between pheripherals and games, (with i think one exception), but us humble wii owners get NONE of that, oh no!!! We wanna play rockband? We have to buy what Harmonix wants us to buy!! It's a crime is what it is!!!

But at the end of day, i guess what gets to me the most is that it doesn't even make SENSE! It certaintly  doesn't benefit Harmonix or Activision in the long run, but my dad has a theory that nintendo is actually behind this. Nintendo, the same company that brought us Mario, behind such atrocious nonsense? It can't be true, can it? CAN IT????

Well actually it probably could. I've always thought nintendo is actually a greedy money grabber underneath that family freindly exterior! How could you betray us nintendo??? Why?? WHY???

But anyway, those are questions for another day, or at least for another post. I aplogize for the length and rather uninteresting subject of this rant, i promise to write something suitable for EVERYONE for my next post! :P

But until then, stay tuned. This thing will get better, i swear!
