Don't forget the Harmonix Barbershop Quartet Stage Kit! Red and White stripped spinning pole and four straw hats with matching red vests.

[TheKrazyKatzzz]

WTF Harmonix STILL can't figure out how to utilize bluetooth technology?

Not everything and its mother needs a USB dongle!

[kiggidykev]

I hope it comes with an USB spinning barbershop pole.

Barbershop Quartet

New feature: Barber Shop

Now comes with a complete Barber Shop! Watch as customers come in and get their hair cut!

p.s. don't forget to feed your real life barber.

It's only playstation exclusive for a couple months right? Please post vids when you guys get it. I want to see how the harmonies work with your mp3 player...

[statboyinva]

Don't forget the Beatles harmonies and all of the great R&B groups! I smell a Special Edition each for the Temptations and Boyz II Men.

Barbershop Quartet (prerelease demo) leaderboards are operational...

...and, surprise surprise, billtvshow has already taken the #1 spot on every song...

OMG, that sounds kinda fun actually. :)

My wife and I have enough problems with 2 part harmony in American Idol, I can't imagine trying to do 4 part. It would actually be tough!

Activision announced today the release of “A Cappella Hero;” a game they claim will “reinvigorate the almost already oversaturated rhythm music game genre." They also have announced an exclusive deal with Bobby and the Midnites, America’s premier A cappella quartet, to release their own game feature their most famous songs and bands who opened for them.

Darn! Should I get this or Guitar Praise?!!??!
Should I make a poll?! What to do????

I am already predicting Mr. Sandman becomes the new Welcome Home for online quickplay overplay.

I guess I better find some friends who are tenors and sopranos.

Edit: Minion!!! Watch out. People can get in trouble for that.

That could have been a lot funnier if you said, "Mr. Sandman becomes the new Enter Sandman..."

LOL!!! ENTER MR. SANDMAN- the ultimate earworm!

Say your prayers little one
Bring me a dream
And don't forget my son
To make him the cutest that I've ever seen....

[trident5]

Not an bad idea. I'd totally do the 'Solo Career' on that!!
