Surely you remember the You Rock Guitar from earlier this week (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/you-rock-guitar-now-on-track-for-february-at-180-rockin-still/). How could you forget, right? Well here on the CES (http://www.engadget.com/tag/CES/) show floor, we had the opportunity to rock out (gently, of course) with the lightweight, multitouch (http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/ezgears-you-rock-guitar-packs-multi-touch-and-ultimate-babe-mag/) Guitar Hero / Rock Band controller -- which just so happens to be platform agnostic. It's got a plethora of settings and buttons, but it can actually double as a semi-legitimate guitar when plugged into an amp. For a music game peripheral, it's about as real as it gets, though it's hard to say if you're better off dropping 180 bones on this instead of a standard controller and a swanky new Squier. Don't take our word for it, though -- jump on past the break and mash play.
