Dreamgear Warbeast Video Transcript

[ Music ] << Jeff Bakalar: Hey. What's going on? I'm Jeff Bakalar here at the CNET stage live at CES2009. CS not known so much for gaming accessories, but I've found the most badass gaming accessory on the show floor from dreamGear. This is the BC Rich Warbeast. It's an exact replica of the Warbeast used by bands like Trivium, Slayer. Very cool stuff. Now, why is this so cool? Lot of cool features that makes it better to use for games like Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and also Rock Revolution. First off, the frets up here, lot easier to slide back and forth in which you get on the standard controllers that come with Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Also, star power button located right on the side so no more tilting. Just hit that, and you're good to go. Also, my personal favorite, the pick is click, it clicks on like the new Rock Band guitar controllers. They're a little rubbery. This is click nice solid feel. Really cool stuff. Retails only $99.00 at dreamgear.net. That's where you can find it available today. I'm going to look for some more cool gaming stuff. I think I found the most badass thing that we're going to find here at CES. [ Music ]
