Guitar Hero: World Tour DE dropping Oct. 26 for $240

i cant wait for this game soooo ready for this to come out its crazy

yea thats what i thought and thanks i am smart LOL

god this is gay why do we have to have an amazing game season now when no ones got cash seriously with deadspace, saints row 2, far cry 2, fable 2, gears 2 fall out 3, silent hill, little big world and guitar hero?!?! i mean come on more than half a grand! for all that. this game better be worth it n better have compatibility with instruments from other games like previous guitar heros and rockband

do you still get the drumsticks in the regular band pack.

@eddyray101: Tax, smart one. Tax is quite a bit on $189.99.

wait when i reserved it for the wii they told me that it was $202 and the gamestop website say $189.99 what the hell is goin on

i totally can't wait i just came back from reserving this game for wii!

i totally can't wait i just came back from reserving this game for wii!

charge whatever you like. just release the game already! gh:wt>rb2 suck it.

perfect timing, no-ones got money

I'm fine with the regular band pack thank you.

So you came on a message board talking about these games, most of who are balancing which one to buy. Just to say they blow. Why were you here at all?

These games just blow

Commenting on the "Franchising Milking" Both the regular editions of Rock Band 2 "Special Edition," and World Tour "Deluxe Edition" cost $190, and $240 (rounded,) respectively on Gamestop. "Regular Edition" World Tour costs $190 (Rounded.)However, as you may remember the 360 battery charger cost $30 dollars on its own. So if Activision, charges the same, you so far are only unfairly paying $20 extra dollars. It will probably be sold separately eventually as well. I could care less about Faceplates, but it's in there, and it might be cool. Faceplates on there on own cost between $10-20. Lets be generous and assume they would sell it for $10 separately. Now you are unfairly paying an extra $10 dollars. The XL T-shirt, would likely sell separately for between $5-10, if they do. Being again generous we will say $5. Now you are unfairly paying an extra $5. The gig bag if sold separately would probably be on the Gamestop Wall/Site for somewhere between $10-30. Let's now be very generous and assume $10 retail. Now you are fairly spending $-5. Throw in the $1.99 key chain, and it's $-6.99. The important parts will be sold separately sometime. But if you want everything that is in the bundle you would be saving my estimate of $-6.99 retail. Remembering that was based on the most generous possible retail prices. So comparatively you aren't getting gypped based on other retail prices. I would also like to point out that the Rock Band 2 set includes: a "Cymbal Expansion Port," either you could be using a World Tour Set, or purchasing a $20 add on later. If you want the extra stuff, in today's retail market it's a fair price. And besides Guitar Hero has the right to exist. Rock Band blatantly copied the concept, and added in a bunch more stuff. One Rock Band 2 and World Tour have both been out for awhile. World Tour, will again do everything better.

how about something we would actually enjoy/want like another guitar with it or more cymbals for the drums

That's not too bad at all... I just can't seem to afford all of that.

Riiight...it will be interesting to see how many poor fools actually buy this

All gamers are Fat!!? icky!

everyones complaining....lol. theyre not asking you to buy it people. do they ask you to buy the $140 Dead Space kit? or the $130 Gears of War 2 kit? come on here.

Guitar Hero is the most blatant example of franchise-milking today, by far.

Wow $240! That's the affect of inflation! Anyway, at least they still have the $190 bundle. It still seems inflated, but that's much more reasonable. I doubt I will be buying the game any time soon. I don't have Rock Band (or RB2) because I wouldn't play these games enough to justify that price. Maybe when they release the next game and these instruments become second hand items at the used games store?

What ever happened to playing real instruments? Oh that would actually require some work and thought process...

Activision, if you're going to try and screw us, you should at least buy us dinner, first.

Wow... that key-chain sounds awesome. Also the t-shirt being XL only... are they trying to imply something about the gamers? hmmm... I find that highly offensive.

I could make my own keychain, get a company to print out a custom T-Shirt (to my size, no less), buy my own backpack and recharger and STILL pay less money than what they're asking for. Were the marketing guys drunk or something?

FGHWT HARD

FGHWT

the keychain really sold me on the bundle... rofl

GHWT's price is already ballz compared to Rock Band 2's. What are they thinking?

haqhahahahahahahaha THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!

should have had another kick paddle for the high hat

Worst bundle ever. What a waste of time. How about you do everybody a favor and bring out a $250 bundle that has two guitars (one looks like a lead guitar, the other like a bass), the drum set with a second bass pedal, the microphone, and some sort of multi-bag carry set for all of it. That would be the **** and I would buy that no questions asked.

I don't think that this is worth 50$ more

I don't think that this is worth 50$ more

Stickers? Yes!

Lame. Good thing I'm getting the rock band 2 set.

According to the RedOctane website, the only extras are the T-Shirt (exclusive), dual recharge kit ($25), dual gig bag ($25), and keychain ($5). So, a waste of money to begin with and still a waste of money considering you could go buy a Wii after sales tax on the DE.

Lame. Good thing I'm getting the rock band 2 set.

"reps for RedOctane directed GameSpot to the Bestbuy.com product page" What a copout.

WTF!! It's way over priced in the first place, and then they add like 3 things and price it at 40 dollars more? That's just lame.

lmao this is garbage... btw who's gonna need the keychain when people gotta sell their dam car to buy this nonsense... im with dmjake... buy some real games this fall

For the extra 50 bucks you can buy Rock Band 2 (game only). since the instruments are cross-compatible, you get +- double the number of songs for the extra 50. Much better value!

To sum up the story... Nothing happened. I'm fine already spending 200$ thank you very much.

what a bore

Hmmm...okay whatever.

waste of money for a t-shirt

I am tired of the limited editions that don't anything worthwhile. I was already going to cancel my preorder for the guitar and game only pack, and this doesn't make me want to go out and get the game. With Fable and Fallout just a couple days from this I will be busy anyways. And with Rockband 2, with all my Rockband 1 tracks and 35 or so downloaded tracks, all for less than this bundle costs you can count me out.

might as well buy the normal band set, instead of paying 50 bucks extra for a T-Shirt and gig bag and crap.

Why are they doing a guitar/game bundle and not a drum kit/game bundle? That's all I really want, none of this XL t-shirt crap.

i already preordered the game so, i only need 30 more dlls. Yes I can get the money....
