Melodyne is a bit more complicated. Antares Autotune is simple. You just throw the plugin in the inserts and it works. You can tweak it ofcourse.
thanks for the info! 
yesterday i watched the videos again and now i have a completely different view on this.
the way how it was presented made me skeptical. they took a guitar that was completely out of tune and auto-tuned it.
this means the system has to "work" and that's how it sounded to me, i could hear it work.
then again, in a field test nobody would take a detuned guitar, everybody would set it up correctly and
tune it as good as possible and then use the system just to fix the common intonation problems on fretted instruments.
the system would not have much to do this way = it could actually sound really good!

I don't care if someone tells me it's lame, could you imagine how fuckin less time would it take to track guitars? Instead of re-tuning every riff or so, the process would be much easier.

Everyone sees it here as a studio tool, but it would actually be a cool system to jam along all your favourite tunes in all those different tunings. How many times did I think when I was learning guitar "I wish it wasn't a pain to tune down to C again to play that Arch Enemy song with the backing track, while 5mn ago I wanted to tune to standard E and play master of puppets" or whatever ! I know it depends on people but I'm one of those who are able to get over a shitty tone just to have fun, even if I take way more pleasure plugged into a real head kranked over 4 or 5 in a rehearsal room.
About the correction itself, hope it works great cause even melodyne who works great sucks life from a take when you set it p to a high correction %. Over 90, or even 80/85%, you clearly hear a loss of definition , as if you're coming from wav to mp3, or from RME to line6 converters. And I'm not talking about changing pitch by 3 tones but just correcting for instance my bass which is a cheap ltd not perfectly set up for its low tuning and which gets a bit off tune in the higher frets.
I don't use autotune so I don't know how the algorithms compare, nor if it's the same algorithm exactly as autotune itself, but it would surely be a godsend like crille said if such a system was working correctly with little loss, and adaptable to any guitar in the future. If it is, I want one on any of mine !

two more thoughts:
1. ghetto bass could be ace on this
2. since this guitar is already heavily dsp processed and on the antares site they claim to release some more software to be loaded to the guitar in the future, wouldn't it be possible to have a build in noisegate. or maybe like distortion or boost fx ...

I'm pretty stoked about this still. I have so many gigs in mind with brilliant dual leads, but were annoying as fuck, because incorrect tonality:

while watching this video I thought, when will it come for microphones?
