Handy How-To: Burn Your Junk with Guitar Hero

Of course, it could just be herpes.

According to Gizmodo, the US Consumer Product Safety Commision has recalled 57,000 $55 Wii wireless guitars produced in China, from store shelves across the country. For the math challenged/lazy, that’s over $3.13 million. The manufacturing error was caused by a faulty circuit board that causes leaking battery acid that can seep through the bottom of the guitar, possibly even penetrating clothing & skin.

I’ve been playing Bionic Commando Rearmed on the 360, and let me tell you, even with the relatively superior (emphasis on relatively) d-pad on the wired controller, it is a serious pain: when I crouch I get spun around, when I want to fire my grappling hook diagonally it fires forward - we all remember how horrible Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting was? Yeah, it’s still just as bad.

So it comes with great, great relief and welcome that reports from the Leipzig show floor are coming of a new, redesigned 360 controller with an improved d-pad.
