It only says they'll be continuing their DLC; it didn't say anything about no more new games.

They announced no more new games a few days ago, it looks like both the Activision and MTV guitar games are both history except for overpriced DLCs.

Actually, I really don't except the Rock Band series to fold under, mainly cause more sales on average than Guitar Hero, so maybe a DLC is in the works, who knows? All I know is this genre has went down the tubes in a large way, which is a shame, cause it keep those RIAA a**holes off our backs a little (ie, licensed tracks). Just a thought.

I'm sick of having to make numerous repairs to the instruments/controllers. It was poor quality and over priced. Good bye to over priced crap!

First generation controllers were absolute garbage. I'll give you that. I don't think the manufacturers foresaw the extreme use these drums and guitars were put to. Later versions seem to be a bit sturdier. That being said, I'm on my third guitar, now....*sigh*

I still use X-plorers. I have a number of them. I think they were the only good controller (next best was GH3's wireless Gibson).
Once they tried to make them quiet, it went to crap. I always use headphones, I never hear my controllers.
