If you've got "Extra Guitar Hero wireless controllers" on your xxx-mas list, prepare to be disappointed:

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov 26, 2007: Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATVI) today announced that standalone wireless guitar controllers for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will be available at retail stores nationwide by early 2008.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock lets fans thrash and burn with new wireless guitar controllers available for each platform, including exclusive Gibson Guitar's Les Paul model for the Xbox 360TM video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, WiiTM home video game system from Nintendo, and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. PlayStation®2 gamers will also get to shred on an exclusive shape, Gibson's Kramer guitar, popularized by hard rockers and known for its body design, pickups, electronics and construction for furious finger fretting.

I don't know what's so hard about putting the wireless controller in a box without the game, but hey, I don't work at Activision. If you really need extra controllers you'll find plenty of the wired guitars in a big pile at your local gamery.
