My PlayStation 2 has been collecting dust for a long time. Recently, after playing the Guitar Hero game on my friend’s PlayStation, I felt in love with that game and I bought a copy of the game but without a guitar controller. After searching online for a guitar controller, I found a low price 3rd party controller and that is Wireless Guitar Knight Controller.
I bought the controller at Play-Asia for US$24.90 and it took them for like 8 days to delivered to my door steps via free shipping. Package come in a good bubble box. There’s actually a cheaper one but it’s wired. I prefer not to have the wire running around in my room as it’ll be look messy so I took the wireless one.
The guitar itself looks smaller than the original Guitar Hero’s guitar. It felt weird at first but it’s good to hold on later then. The whammy bar and the strum bar are nice to press on but the 5 buttons are a bit hard. The feeling is not the same on the original controller, though it’s still nice to play with, just need sometimes to master on it.
Just plug in the receiver into one of the controller port and you are ready go play. It requires 4 AA size battery but the package doesn’t come with any. It uses 2.4GHz wireless frequency instead of Bluetooth or Infrared so it may affect your home wireless network so you may want to change your Wifi channel. According to the manual, it says that distance of this controller will support up to 7 meter which is quite far already.
If you are looking for a place to buy your gaming needs online, check out Play-Asia, it’s where I do my shopping for my gaming gear and accessories. It’s reliable and large library of title and games. The best of all, it takes in PayPal.
Buying a LED badge or nametag is pretty expensive. If you have an iPhone or iTouch, you can save the cost and turn your huge 3.5″ screen into a scrolling LED ticker where you can have your message running or maybe do a lil adverting on your site URL.
It’s easy very to get the LED Banner or Ticker working on your iPhone/iTouch. Simply move to Installer (if you have already jailbreak it), search for LEDBanner at All Package and there’s only 1 result. Install it and you are ready to go.
Just type in your message you want to show and it will start scrolling. You can mount it on your belt and wear it along. People will start staring at your pants by then.
The only problem I face is how to keep the screen on for long but not turning off. Any idea?
You wouldn’t believe me, I bought a pirated Blu-Ray DVD disc today. I was accompanying my friend who was browsing for some pirated DVD at a shop here and something caught my eyes and that was the Blu-Ray disc cover. It is because of curiousity, I bought a copy home to try. It was selling for RM18 per disc. I knew that there’s no BD being copied or duplicate yet, though there’s image file of BD on the net. It’s possible for buring the image file on disc but it may not turn out high def because normal DVD player plays 480i/p video.
Of course, even if it’s a BD image on a DVD, I still can’t access those feature like on the BD player. After playing it for a while on the DVD player, I noticed that it’s just like a normal DVD video, at progressive scan but less noise. My DVD player can’t do upscaling to 1080 resolution, the maximum it can goes is 480p via component cable.
Since nothing much difference, I placed the disc into my media PC which connected to the TV via VGA cable and capable to output a resolution of 720p. Maybe it will be playing at higher res on my PC though after checking the video resolution, it’s at 720×480 which is same like DVD movie. This is definitely not a HD movie. I could say it’s a downscaled HD movie on a DVD. Even the TV series I’ve downloaded is at higher resolution that that (1280×720).
Well, it’s just fake seeing BluRay disc in pirated DVD shop. By the way, please support original titles.
The winner of the latest season of American Idol, David Cook happens to be one of the Guitar Hero commercial video. The video is pretty cool and yes, I love Guitar Hero a lot. Bought a guitar for my PS2 and if I am not mistaken, it will be arriving next week at my doorsteps. Sooner, I’ll get the Guitar Hero On Tour for the DS when I get a DS in this week or 2.

Breaking news from Gizmodo. Gizmodo is told that Apple will announce their new generation of iPhone with 3G at WWDC Keynote on June 9th. The new iPhone will be available worldwide right after launch and not wait for many months.
In Spain, for example, the 3G iPhone will be available for sale at the June 18th grand opening of Telefonica’s megastore—an Apple Store-like shop located in the company’s historical building in Madrid’s Gran Vía— with nationwide availability right the next day or after a few hours. The other European countries with iPhone availability will have similar launch schedules.
Then I’ll believe that the iPhone that coming to Singapore will be 3G too. There’s still 19 days until WWDC and let’s put our hand together and wait to see the 3G iPhone.
