So I was dumb and bought Rocksmith 2014 without the cable. Let me tell you, they aren't easy to find locally and impossible used. I couldn't justify upwards of $30-$40 for just a cable to see if I really can learn guitar. So on a whim I added to my profile as something I've been wanting, not expecting it because it's above the $20 average and I wouldn't want that much spent on me. I saw my package was on its way and have eagerly awaited delivery. Well it just arrived at my door, courtesy of Amazon, and guess what my super awesome Santa bought me???? AN EFFING ROCKSMITH CABLE!!!!!!!! I can't wait to try this bad boy out tomorrow (bachelorette bash tonight). I even acquired a system and tv to dedicate to learning soon.
