If the folks with genius degrees can't fix the world economy, what chance do I have?

My Review from Amazon.com:
I finally received the Nyko Metal Pedal (NMP), and put it through a quick test on both Rock Band 2 (RB2) and Guitar Hero World Tour (GHWT) on my Xbox 360.

As far as video game drum controllers go, I have the Rock Band, GHWT, RB2, and even the Rock Revolution controllers.

My first RB1 pedal cracked into two pieces. My second RB1 pedal developed a similar crack, and I purchased the Blockhead Hit Kit for its replacement pedal. My first GHWT pedal went defective as well. (My RB2 pedal has since replaced the Blockhead pedal, and is going strong.)

The NMP seems like the Rock Band 2 pedal design, super-sized. Both the base and the pedal itself are wider, but the overall design is similar. I prefer the larger size, as opposed to the Blockhead Hit Kit's smaller pedal.

In addition, for GHWT, you finally have a pedal that doesn't move during gameplay or tilt from side to side.

Also included is a dual pedal adapter, which is basically a splitter for the input jack. The NMP + RB2 pedal seemed to work fine for me in RB2. However, the NMP + GHWT pedal did not; the NMP would not always register. As soon as the GHWT pedal was removed from the splitter, the NMP would register every time. Perhaps on GHWT, you need two NMPs for it to work properly.

I'm not a fan of the art design, but it's under your foot all the time so who cares!

Pros:
* Like a super-size version of the Rock Band 2 pedal (that's a good thing)
* Includes a splitter for double bass pedals

Cons:
* Double pedal doesn't seem to work with NMP + GHWT pedal combo

Bottom Line:
You need this if you have a cracked pedal OR you want a Rock Band 2-style pedal for use with Guitar Hero World Tour.

PSP-4000 will have accelerometer, rumble, and the bestest screen evar!

Guitar Hero World Tour band kit + Rock Band 2 game = more fun than you can shake a drumstick at

Beware, if your AT&T Pantech duo is unlocked, the 6.1 update will re-lock it. If you still have the unlock code, it does seem to work after the update.

Is there more of that spreadsheet available? I noticed the Xbox 360 Arcade missing/gone from one Wal-Mart (price tag removed and no space left for it), and another Wal-Mart had the Xbox 360 Arcade on clearance. Perhaps the $299 price drop is accompanied by discontinuation of the Arcade?
