BigBlackGamer · (05-23-2008, 07:53 PM)

crap. I'll take the band bundle but 189.99....

Jumpman23 · (05-23-2008, 07:54 PM)

Don't look too deep into this one. Remember when Gamestop and other retailers were showing Rockband as $249.

bryehn · (05-23-2008, 07:54 PM)

$190 eh?

Those drums better be awesome.

That wireless drum kit better be something special.

If they keep those prices for Europe it will still be ceaper than Rock Band.

Aladuf · (05-23-2008, 07:55 PM)

Thank god all I need is the game itself.

BobsRevenge · (05-23-2008, 07:55 PM)

Fuck that noise. Shit ain't worth that much to me.

Hopefully my roommate picks it up.

fresquito · (05-23-2008, 07:55 PM)

I really hope they release a drum/game pack, or at least a micro/game pack. A micro/drum/game pack would be perfect.

bounchfx · (05-23-2008, 07:56 PM)

i'm going to get it, but boy do I not like how it's more expensive than RB. at all.

I wonder how the public is going to react. I mean, it still has the more popular brand name... but by the time it comes out? we'll see.

TaKeRx · (05-23-2008, 07:56 PM)

im buying the 190 one i guess. I hope that guitar doesn't crap out on me like the Les Paul.

DMPrince · (05-23-2008, 07:56 PM)

I'll wait for the price drop. too much for me.

omg rite · (05-23-2008, 07:56 PM)

It's only $20 more than Rock Band, and both the guitar AND drums are wireless.

I don't see the issue here.

Gagaman · (05-23-2008, 07:56 PM)

Most expensive? Try the European Rock band set..

Opus Angelorum · (05-23-2008, 07:57 PM)

This will be £200+ in the UK!

TheKurgan · (05-23-2008, 07:57 PM)

I just want the Guitar bundle - I have no interest in Drums or vocals in my Guitar games...

Caesar III · (05-23-2008, 07:57 PM)

189$ is fucking cheap! Just shup up and think about our european Rockband with 250€!

anyway, so this game is comming to wii, too? even in Europe? that would be cool

Mrbob · (05-23-2008, 07:59 PM)

Interesting to see a guitar bundle will be offered.

At least for this reason alone GH4 will sell big.

Shins · (05-23-2008, 07:59 PM)

Mrbob · (05-23-2008, 08:00 PM)

BTW we should take a vote now to include all GH sales together as one group, or are November/December top 10 NPD totals will be fucked.

I don't want to see a top 10 of all different Guitar hero 4 packages.

I already have Rock Band. Having a second game when the first one is still awesome isn't worth as much, and definitely isn't worth $20 more. I'd rather just pick up Rock Band 2 and not have to rebuy instruments.

Aladuf · (05-23-2008, 08:01 PM)

Yeah, you're lucky you can just leech off of my shit...

batbeg · (05-23-2008, 08:01 PM)

Given that they said the new guitar has new mechanics I thought a new guitar would be compulsory.

Might get the guitar bundle just so I have a second one anyway.

just don't buy it then or hope they work a deal to use both equipment.

Struct09 · (05-23-2008, 08:02 PM)

Are these official prices? Gamestop had the Rock Band bundle at $200 for a long time.

No, just people overreacting as usual.

lets go stalk Josh Farro now

Shawn128 · (05-23-2008, 08:04 PM)

Activision....pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasep leaseplease make this game compatible with rock band controllers (drums I can understand due to the extra button). This is the only thing keeping me from buying this game.

GitarooMan · (05-23-2008, 08:04 PM)

A drum bundle makes so much sense for GH which is exactly why it won't exist.

pswii60 · (05-23-2008, 08:06 PM)

It's getting to the point where you really should just buy a real guitar. It'll be more rewarding, that's for sure. And unlimited tunes!

FromTheFuture · (05-23-2008, 08:06 PM)

Fuck! Stop toying with my monies, Activision!

Opus Angelorum · (05-23-2008, 08:06 PM)

This, Activision.

Why sell it only with the one item no one has? That'd make too much sense.

Obviously. That's kind of what I said in my first post in this thread.

edit: My Activision boycott from the Rock Band PS3 guitar compatability fiasco lives on.

SickBoy · (05-23-2008, 08:16 PM)

I'm not sure on this, but I'll probably get it if the track list is good enough (although if there are boss battles maybe not). I would think the band bundle would be the best deal, but I'd be worried they'll cripple the guitar for Rock Band on 360... and then again, maybe it's foolish to have that many plastic musical instruments in my house anyways.

I was about to post the same thing... This isn't official they are still in testing with the drums so how could they release a price already.

MaizeRage25 · (05-23-2008, 08:20 PM)

No thanks.

Rock Band will be enough for me.

Edit: Actually, I may consider buying this for Wii. I'm a sucker.

VictimOfGrief · (05-23-2008, 08:20 PM)

Are you fucking kidding me!??! WTF?!?!?!?!

Archie · (05-23-2008, 08:21 PM)

If the game actually comes out at that price, that will be less than I expected.

Ceres · (05-23-2008, 08:21 PM)

Have you played these games since GH1?

GH1 + guitars
GH2 (assume using both guitars from GH1)
GH:80s
Want to play GH on PS3 or 360?
GH3 + new guitars (PS2 guitars are now worthless)
Want to play Rock Band on PS3?
RB + drums + guitars (GH guitars won't work - fuck you activision)
GH:WT + drums + guitars if they've got new stuff going on.

This isn't about buying multiple games. It's about having 8 different controllers to play a two rhythm series games.

DGRP · (05-23-2008, 08:23 PM)

At least the bundle has instruments which aren't shit.

And yes I do have a flawless Les Paul.

duderon · (05-23-2008, 08:24 PM)

These are just placeholders. If you expect the GH:WT bundle to be less than the RB bundle you are crazy.

Jonnyboy117 · (05-23-2008, 08:26 PM)

If these prices are real, I'd like to know why the Guitar Bundle price has increased ten bucks over the last game, which already had a wireless guitar.

mattiewheels · (05-23-2008, 08:28 PM)

that's nuts, i actually had a dream that i found out the price was $299

i need to stop eating before bed.

$189 is a good price for the extra additions, but they should've made it $149 or $159 to be competitive.
