For those

Boston, MA– July 16th, 2008 - Peak Products, a gaming
peripheral company dedicated to providing the best in instrument quality
gaming controllers, announces Starpex, the first-ever full-size, wood,
PS2™ / PS3™ Guitar controller with the look and feel of an actual
guitar. Starpex boasts an instrument-quality, high-gloss
lacquered finish with a hardwood body, neck, and headstock handcrafted
by a leading guitar manufacturer giving the authentic guitar experience
that Guitar Hero™ and Rock Band™ enthusiasts crave. Other unique
features include…
- Full Guitar Hero and Rockband Functionality
for PS2 and PS3 –
Starpex is compatible with both PS2 and PS3, and allows users to
experience the full list of game play features in both Guitar Hero
and Rockband, including toggle effects switch and solo button
functionality.
- Unique Speed Star Power / Overdrive Button provides the fastest and
most accurate access to Star Power and Overdrive.
Additionally, built in tilt sensor technology allows users to
access Star Power and Overdrive in a more traditional way.
- Optimized Whammy Bar maximizes comfort,
provides better feel, reduces fatigue and provides a higher level
of durability.
- High Quality Ten Fret Button Design features optimal button
travel for enhanced feel, reduced fatigue, and higher score
potential. Ten fret buttons means that players have the
option of using traditionally positioned fret buttons, or rock out
with solo buttons high up on the neck which also provide critical
soloing capabilities in Rockband.
- Enhanced Strum Bar gives the perfect
balance of tactile and audible feedback to maximize enjoyment and
scoring.
- Connectivity Options – Dual wired / wireless
capabilities allow players to use a 15’ wired cable or a 2.4 Ghz
wireless connection (both included).
- Forward - Thinking Compatibility – Starpex’s modular
design allows users to easily separate the electronic components
from the body of the guitar which will allow for further
customization including new guitar bodies, pick guards, and more.
“With
well over 11 million copies of Guitar Hero/Rock Band sold on the
PlayStation consoles, we see a tremendous opportunity in bringing
Starpex to market” says Jamie Leece, Vice President for Peak
Products. “Never before have Guitar Hero/Rock Band enthusiasts
been able to shred with a hardwood, handcrafted authentic guitar
controller that’s built with the look and feel of a real guitar.
This will change the way the games are played.”
The Starpex will be available in Circuit City and various retailers
with an MSRP of $179.95 in late August. For more information on
