Guitar Hero Contollers Sacrificed in Volcano
There are now fewer plastic guitar controllers crowding the world's homes, thanks to a volcano.
The developers at Seven45 have made an offering to the gods to hope for the success of their upcoming game, Power Gig: Rise of the Six String [http://www.amazon.com/Power-Gig-SixString-Guitar-Xbox-360/dp/B003N13ZRI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1281452664&sr=8-1]. They sacrificed tons of unused Guitar Hero controllers to a firey, magma-filled beast.
After acquiring a mass of the guitars in Reykjavik, Iceland, the devs loaded them up into a plane. They then risked their lives to dump them into a giant volcano.
The whole thing was a publicity stunt, of course, with the point being that Power Gig's controller, which Rock Band 3 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/99062-Upcoming-Rhythm-Game-Offers-Real-Guitar-Peripheral] this holiday season.
Unfortunately, we don't really get to savor the goodness of watching the controllers burn into oblivion. While I like Guitar Hero as much as the next guy, I think we can all agree that we've been a bit innundated by plastic instruments over the past few years. It feels good to know that a bunch of them were dropped into a volcano, just as long as they don't cause an incident [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_eruptions_of_Eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull].
