Yo, Kidz Beats guitars have not gone away. I’m here in Montreal googling it cuz we saw it (and played it in the box due to those accessible keys and “try me now!” feature) in a gift store on Mont Royal St. tonight, and I’m thinking of getting it for the kid’s Christmas present. They are still out there, waiting to be bought! It was $26.99 Cdn. Really, I had to rip the thing out of his hands in the store. Very cool that the bar is a “strumming” bar, so if you hold down the fret button with the left hand you can “pick” the note with the right hand, like a real guitar. Thanks for standing up for the Kidz Beats, Stephen!

[...] of you may have seen my sporadic and ongoing duel with people who see my comparison of the Guitar Hero controllers with the Kidz Beats guitar and take it very seriously. Since I’m nice that way, I string them along, occasionally [...]

Oh, I’m still here. I watch the internets from the sky.

So the Kidz Beats guitar has gone away? That makes me sad, as Eli would say.

I hope Stephen will still read this considering how long this thread has been inactive, but I just read through it and laughed my a$$ off. I had no idea Guitar Hero players were so venomous… I’m a Rock Band diva myself (GH SUX!!)

Ironically, I found this thread because I am desperately looking for the ULTIMATELY SUPERIOR kidz beats guitar for my two year old who has already truly mastered RB. He might not get the songs 100% right, but he can do a dead on impression of Pete Townshend smashing a guitar, and after all isn’t that what learning to be a rock god is all about? I feel he might be ready to upgrade to 8 fret buttons.

Now that I know about the one-button Old MacDonald feature, heck, I might have to hang up my microphone. If only I could find it for under $30!!

Oh. But I spent all my money on the Playstation and the game. Can he play Guitar Hero without the guitar controller? I can’t afford to buy that too.

I hope I haven’t ruined little Timmy’s birthday. It’s his very first one.

I shopped around a little bit, and I did find a store that was selling a used Playstation 2 and a copy of Guitar Hero 2 as a bundle. That one just had the disc by itself (no controller). It was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but I went ahead and picked it up anyway on your advice.

I didn’t have enough money left over to buy the actual Guitar Hero guitar to go with it, though. Do you think the Kidz Beats one will work alright with the game if we plug it into the PS2?

all i can say is just get a used ps2 like i said theyre cheap, and pick up a 20 dollar copy of guitar hero 2..

and to stephen, if u wanted the thing for a stupid costume then i mean in the long run the little oldmacdonald guitar can be used by future children, but the guitar hero guitar looks way more like a real guitar, i like the les paul the best but seriously you cant compare the 2
