 best line of the article:    
Quote
"Rock Band's head writer, Helen McWilliams, who was the singer at the Troubadour, fronts an all-girl punk group called Vagiant when she's not writing funny text for the game's loading screens. "The corporate culture that we have is really unique," she says. "There are a lot of young people with T-shirts and dirty jeans and really good hair."
so, who's going to order one of these and have a bboard jam session?

I really want that, but I think it's only for XBox 360 and PS3.
 
 I am still in the dark ages with a PS2.
 
 But I am planning on getting the third iteration of guitar hero.

For $100, I'll sell you the group insertion pack.

You were probably lost in the Smashing Pumpkins threads when I reported on this back in July after E3....

nope, i remembered your report, vaguely.  but this story has a lot of details (like pictures and pricing) and first-hand accounts from users.
 
 and really, with enticing pictures like the one below, how could i not post it?  
 
 this picture definitely needs a caption:

NICE!
 
 how about: "thanks to evidence based on early beta testing, the groupie insertion pack was deemed an absolute necessity"

I love the expression on the guitar player's face.
