The guitar is wireless isn't it? If that's so that's a main reason why.

It comes with both the game and the controller. Its only $10 more than the PS2 version and has more songs, hence why I'm picking it up again.

It isn't wireless. But 70+ songs with updated graphics and an updated controller=worth it to me.

It's definitely worth the cost considering the PS2 version is only $10 less and this has more songs, next gen graphics, new guitar, downloadable songs..... It's a no-brainer.

Its like the PS2 (game/controller) package, only it costs $10 more. And since xbox 360 games have always been more expensive then PS2 games im perplexed as to why this comes as a shock.

(we get achievements, 10 new songs, new better built controller, and ability to download new songs off XBL for our $10)

70+ songs?

 

LINK  If you check wikipedia on Guitar Hero II they have all the tracks that come with withe 360 version. Do a little math and you'll see that at launch it comes with 48 normal songs + 26 bonus songs which equal 74 songs, with more songs on thier way through XBL.

Um no... Microsoft won't give third party companies it's wireless tech. That is also why you haven't seen any Mad Catz wireless 360 controllers.

I agree 100%. In fact I am trading in my Guitar Hero II for my PS2, and am picking this up tomorrow. I am excited about the possibility of downloading new songs. Hopefully we dont have to wait long for that to actually materialize.

BTW, here is a little exerpt from the Costco website. I know Costco is not the leader in gaming news but interesting none the less. "Download More on Xbox Live®- Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360 gets turned up to 11 with its downloadable content on Xbox Live. Grab new songs, themes, and picture packs off Xbox Live! Check where you rank on the Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360 Leaderboard, or play any of the 12 songs that are available for download."

if you think its too expensive then dont buy it. Dont complain, just to complain. the price will not go down, so either buy it or dont. they dont force you to buy it. anyway $90 for a game and a controller on 360 is pretty reasonable if you ask me.

$90 isnt that bad since it comes with a guitar. Halo 3 legendary is $130 and it only comes with a helmit and other stuff which is still worth it.

It's $10 more than the PS2 version... not very surprising to me. The PS2 version being $80 is what surprised me, since I think GH1 was $70. And no, the controller isn't wireless. MS refuses to give up their wireless secrets to outsiders... its something that RedOctane has been fighting with MS about as of late, so I hear.

Because everything is more expensive in Europe, especially in the UK. Whine to your government... It's due to import taxes and shipping costs, but mostly taxes.

No, I don't think so. I think it is about 1/2 the size of an average head and also, pretty sure it's solid metal... Don't quote me on it though...
