Polk jumps in on the rhythm accessory game

Polk HitMaster.Really, Polk? You used to be so respectable. None of this whoring about trying to make a dollar. Just good, quality audio equipment. Not anymore, though. It seems you’ve jumped on the Field-of-Dreamsesque “If we make it they will buy” mentality that us free-thinking types truly loathe.

Yes, folks, Polk has decided to make a ridiculous video game monitor as well for all of your video game jam sessions. As with Altec Lansing’s Stage Gig, you simply plug your console into the side of the monitor and voila, you’re transported to a world of 60-watt, rock-induced ecstasy. Coming for the holidays, an automated bra-launcher/boobie-flasher to tuck behind your TV for that authentic rock experience.

Altec Lansing Stage Gig is as unreal as it gets

Altec Lansing Stage Gig.It looks like Altec Lansing wants a piece of the Rock Band accessory action, even if it means making a product as ridiculous as the Stage Gig. This guitar amp for fake guitars is really just a 40-watt speaker set on an angle so you strike a rocker’s pose in your mom’s basement.

The unit has a single stereo input and output, so you can hook the console straight into the speaker, or chain gang it as a part of your regular setup. If you’re actually willing to spend $100 on this thing, please never contact me for any reason. I’m all for getting into your games, but this takes fake musicianship to an unhealthy level. Like air guitarists but decidedly less cool.
