"It irritates me having watched my kids do it - if they spent as much time practising the guitar as learning how to press the buttons they'd be damn good by now," said Mason.

However, asked about The Floyd "working on" a rhythm game on the future, Mason told the BBC "I think we'd consider it," explaining "I think everyone's looking at new ways of selling the music because the business of selling records has almost disappeared."

Pink Floyd's music has yet to feature in either Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Rock legends The Beatles star in a Rock Band of their very own, while Guitar Hero instalments have been dedicated to Aerosmith and Metallica, with Van Halen hitting on December 22.
