    Just a quick reminder since we're talking about Child's Play and Rock Band; If you haven't picked it up already, all sales of Insomniac Games' song "(pin)Ballz" go directly to Child's Play.
    It's available for $0.99 on 360 and PS3

    I like the MadCatz wooden stratocaster and would love to get another one in a different color and also a wooden bass. Is there an effort to make more wooden guitars available?

    If I were to interview someone from Harmonix, here are some of the questions I would ask...

    Question: Rock Band 3 has the highest Metacritic score of any "guitar/band simulation game" with a 93, but it seems Rock Band 3 also gets a lot of criticism for being "unfun" over time. What are your feelings about both the praise and the critique of Rock Band 3?

    Question: Rock Band 3 included, for the first time, keyboard play. Do you know how successful this addition to the game has been? Is it being utilized? Have any artist/labels been more interested in the game now that this peripheral has been added?

    Question: Dance Central is a very successful Kinect game for the Xbox 360. Have you thought about releasing the game using the motion controls of the other systems?

    Question: Harmonix seems to be the leader when it comes to supporting games after release through multiple patches to add fan requested extras or to fix things that fans complain about with the gameplay. Harmonix also supports their games with DLC, especially Rock Band which has had DLC released for it every week for over four years. What makes Harmonix so committed to their games, most companies end support after about a year?

    Question: Is the Rock Band Network successful? I contacted someone from Connor Christian’s label and asked them if they would re-do “Sunday Suit” to add the awesome keyboard parts as a Rock Band 3 version, but was told that getting the songs into the format needed was just too much based on the return. Have you heard of other artist reporting the same thing or is this a unique opinion on RBN?

    Question: Everyone wants to make sure Harmonix is successful, especially those from the forums, we feel like we are a part of Harmonix even if we don’t work for the company, we feel invested in it. As such, we would like some idea on what Harmonix has planned to remain solvent in the years to come. So, what is going on in the future? DLC through 2012? Rock Band 4? Dance Central 3? New
    IP?... and what does, “take Rock Band in a new direction” really mean?

    Last Question: How has “pro guitar” been received? Do you look at RockSmith, smack yourselves on the forehead, and say “duh” or are you happy with the approach you took? Personally, I like how Harmonix found a way to keep track of finger placement in a “real guitar” even if that guitar is no longer being produced and has a bad reputation as a “real guitar”.
