This has certainly been an interesting week for us at The Comic Book Bin. Thanks to some problems with our new system, we had some interesting mishaps with our publishing times and the looks of our articles. Thankfully, things look like they're starting to go back to normal and, hopefully, we'll soon be able to bring you bigger and better articles than ever before. And now for the last News Pop! of the week.

RedOctane unveils new wireless guitar controller

RedOctane officially unveiled its new Guitar Hero wireless controller today. The controller, which will be compatible with both Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II for the Playstation 2, will be available in November for a suggested retail price of $59.99 USD. The controller has a glossy white finish and will work just like the original Guitar Hero controller, except with a lot more freedom of movement. The release of the wireless controller will be just about the same time as the release of Guitar Hero II, which will have a track list of over 60 songs, new venues, characters, guitars, play modes and, one thing we're really excited about, the ability to play different guitar tracks, like lead, bass or rhythm. There's no word on what the Canadian pricing will be just yet. For more information on Guitar Hero, like the track list and characters, you can check out www.guitarherogame.com.

Funcom extends Anarchy Online offer to 2008

Funcom, the publisher behind the upcoming Age of Conan, announced today that it is extending its play-all-you-want offer for Anarchy Online until 200 8. The offer also now includes Anarchy Online – Notum Wars, giving players the opportunity to take part in player versus player combat for free. “The free offer has been an amazing success and a chance to show massive amounts of players how good this game actually is,” said Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom. “With a new expansion around the corner, an improved free offer, continued development and few good sci-fi MMO games around we believe Anarchy Online can remain successful for years to come.
