Sure, maybe you already own Rock Band. But is it signed by Grammy award-winning jazz musician Herbie Hancock? Yeah, I didn't think so; your copy of Rock Band fails.
While rubbing elbows with celebs at this year's Grammy awards, Harmonix had the pleasure of playing their game with the legend (and the Pussycat Dolls, from what I understand, although I may have just dreamed that). Thinking on their feet, they had Hancock and some of his musician buddies sign a special edition Xbox 360 bundle.
They refused to give it to me; death threats mean nothing to the folks who put God damned "Green Grass and High Tides" in their last game. The bundle was put up on eBay, however, and the proceeds go to a good cause -- the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
At the time of this writing, the bidding is at $150, which is cheaper than the bundle costs at retail. Uh, did we mention that it's signed by Herbie motherf***in Hancock and that the money goes towards charity? Let's move, people.

If only this were the PS3 bundle, I'd been bidding on this in a heartbeat. Alas. :(
Oh Jesus, I thought you meant Will Smith signed this.
*shiver*
But Herbie Hancock is the man.
...wait a second, a guitar for Rock Band? Good thing it is for Rock Band, it'll probably break and be used for nothing. At least this way, it's good for nothing.
Maybe that's just because I can play it, though.
*crawls into a hole and dies*
Don't worry. It's a generational thing. As soon as I read "Herbie Hancock" my mind raced back to then MTV was actually good (instead of the shit they've turned into) and I saw the robots groovin' to "Rock It".
