O.K. so it won’t give you a long-ass tongue or make you play any better, but it has to be the coolest looking plastic guitar for Guitar Hero that I have ever seen. This is begging for a bit of God Gave Rock n’ Roll to You action.

The new DSi will be 12 percent thinner, thanks to the loss of the GBA slot. In addition, not one but two cameras, an SD slot and some onboard storage. Content will be downloadable via WiFi and sold in a points system that sounds more than a little Microsoftish. Furthermore there will be a photosynching capability. Price ¥18,900 - about $180 [Engadget, Electronic House via Slashgear]
OK, so these are officially known as Glo Sabers, so that big ol’ Mr. Lucas does not need to release his legal hounds, but we all know what they are supposed to look like. What needs to be said, they look like lightsabers, they glow like lightsabers, they were made by Thrustmaster and they are surprisingly cheap. If there is a better Wii accessory on the market now, I have yet to see it.

Mad Catz have gone and done something interesting, they have made a bass guitar for Rock Band and a good looking one at that. It uses a split strum bar which will let you strum faster than with a standard strum bar and comes with a very reasonable price tag. Unfortunately, PS3 and Wii owners aren’t getting any love with this model; it is an X-360 only affair.

I’ve got to say that I find the white on white color scheme of the Wii monotonous in the extreme. It works, but a bit of variation never goes astray. There are tons of casemods of varying quality out there, but they usually fall into the fan art category. This woodgrain concept, however, is different: it is something that can be appreciated by all and it works very, very nicely.
Unfortunately, it is just a concept, but one that I would hope sees the light of day, even if only in a limited run. Congratulations to the designer Joe D, this is one classy Wii Mod [Technabob via Slippery Brick]
