It looks like the rumors that Microsoft will be handing out price cuts for E3 are true. According tho the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft will be taking $50 off the price of the Xbox 360 Premium package this Sunday. I’m sure with this news breaking, we will probably see more price cuts Monday. Some rumors have also indicated that accessory prices may also drop.

If you have been wondering if we’ll ever see Led Zeppelin songs in a video game such as Rock Band or Guitar Hero, the answer is NEVER! Apparently Activision and MTV have tried to get LZ, and Jimmy Page turns them down every time. It’s unfortunate, but I certainly respect their right as artists to control their music.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Jimmy Page, and his bandmates have repeatedly turned down offers from both Activision and MTV to use their tunes in either Rock Band or Guitar Hero music games. The band isn’t “comfortable with the prospect of granting outsiders access to its master tapes.” ”It ain’t about the money,” says Led Zep manager Peter Mensch.
More interesting info from the Wall Street Journal: These bands are all in talks to have content included in music games (either Rock Band or Guitar Hero):
- Van Halen,
- the Eagles,
- Steely Dan
- Guns N’ Roses
In hopes to further advertise Guitar Hero World Tour, which will add drums and vocals to the series, Tony Hawk and Paula Abdul banded together to show their support for the little known game at the Wall Street Journal’s All Things Digital conference.
As you can tell from the video, Tony Hawk takes his Fisher-Price playing seriously and doesn’t do any outrageous hijinks to showcase his inner rock star. So what will take over your guys’ living room this fall…Guitar Hero or Rock Band?
