No matter what it is you aren't so good at, there's a solution somewhere between cheating on tests and penile implants. This little device falls somewhere squarely in the middle, allowing you to hack a Guitar Hero controller so it will play all the notes for you while you pretend to play. I think it sucks that anyone would actually use this in competition, but I'm sure someone will try.
At ay rate, no need to worry about coming up against it just yet: with an average price of about $500 to construct one yourself, it's a little too pricey to start popping up commonly just yet. Beware if you're invited to the home of a clumsy mad genius to play GH, however.

@MrSadistic:
Sponsors are pretty much the main reason Rev3 can keep shows on the internets.
Resistors and chips created from the bones of long-dead kings and emperors. When you go to Radio Shack, they're waaaaaaaay in the back, behind a glass case.
Oh, this is for achievement whores. That's what it is.
Yeah I understand that, but when you are doing promos and sound like a mix between the dead announcer from The Price Is Right and someone who is constipated, then it gets a bit awkward.
Air guitar is even cooler than that.
Stopping multiple times to advertise unrelated software in the middle of your show: Whoredom.
Wow, massive fail.
The problem, as I see it, with this hardware solution and the solution I just mentioned is that neither could keep up with "Through The Fire And Flames" on expert, and if it can't do that, what's the point?
LAME! So much money invested on something that only works 1 out of 10 attempts, and apparently on EASY? Pass.
