More On: Frontman
I liked the previous Front Man for the PS2 and Nyko's giving PlayStation 3 owners some love with their own version. The Front Man Guitar for the PlayStation 3 works up to 25 feet away and up to 80 hours of continuous play. The nice thing is is that it will work with both Rock Band and Guitar Hero III via a switch on a pedal. For those that like to customize, there will be interchangeable pick guards as well. All this can be yours for $60.
