Guitar Hero II for preorder, $89.99

by Dustin Burg on Jan 14th 2007 12:30AM

Mark, an employee at his local EB Games, sent us a tip that the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II is now available to preorder at their stores. He also mentioned that the full price of the game, including guitar, will be $89.99. Currently, there is no page up on either Gamestop.com or EBgames.com to preorder the bundle, so we can't actually confirm the price. If anyone is heading to Gamestop or EB Games in the near future please ask about Guitar Hero II and how much you can preorder it for. We're an army, a fanboy army, who hungers for knowledge!

[Thanks, Mark Z.]

umm..i wonder how much it will be in canada..shiiiit

I don't know...The PS2 version was $80. Even though it has a few extra songs, I'm not so sure that his is a good deal. The extra 10 bones seems like it's being milked.

@MagnaFlow

Have you forgotten about the 10 extra songs there buddy?

360 games are almost always $10 more than the stuff that's on the PS2 and the rest of the other consoles. So if the Guitar Hero 2 bundle (game and guitar) is $80 for the PS2, I guess it's normal that it will be $90 for the 360.

This is just like Madden costs $50 on those consoles and on the 360 and PS3 it costs $60. At least with GH2 we will actually be getting more content (yay!), as opposed to how the next gen versions of Madden have less content(boo!)

And the 10 dollar difference on new 360 games and new PS2 games?

I talked to the guys at my local GameCrazy and, apparently, they're saying the price is $79.99 or $69.99, I don't remember which exactly.

okay, I work at a gamestop. I do know we are taking reserves, but I haven't taken a look at the price. I'm working tomorrow morning, so I'll take a look and get a price quote. I'll even try to take pictures!

the price is $89.99 in the USA

Hm. Ouch.

It's an awesome game, but that's quite a bite.

I'll have to think about it, now.

When it is supposed to be coming out?

I was thinking that it was going to be $100. I'm glad to see that the unconfirmed price is only $90.

well the Internet price is bound to be slightly cheaper...

I'd say it'll cost £45-£50 from the internet in the UK, if it's going to be $90 in America.

I stopped by Thursday after work to reserve this game and it wasn't in the system. Guess I'll have to stop by again later today.

can anyone confirm if you can pre-order a second seperate guitar?

That's just plain expensive.. will you be able to download songs from xbox live?

Would a PS2 to 360 controller converter work for the GH controller? I have 1 guitar for PS2 and would much rather use that than buy another separate controller.

I have pre-order at my local Gamecrazy, I think they were saying $79.99. At least it was in the system.

I checked with gamestop on the release date. They said March 1.

"Would a PS2 to 360 controller converter work for the GH controller? I have 1 guitar for PS2 and would much rather use that than buy another separate controller."

No. Red Octane was quite explicit about that: no adapters.

My local EB games (now a subsidiary of GameStop), can take as much money as you want to put down on a game, at ANY time and count it towards the final purchase price. So if I want to do $10 a week until it comes out, I can. And that CERTAINLY makes things a whole lot easier.
It's also what I'm doing for the Legendary edition of Halo 3. I've already almost got that one nipped in the bud and paid for.

Jared- What you should be doing is putting the minimum amount down to guarantee the copy, but then put the rest in savings (or money market/ CD/invest). At least YOU will be earning the interest and not a mega rich corporation.
Cheers!

I just went to gamestop and asked and they told me it was the same price as the ps2 one to preorder, 79 bucks

yup, it's 89.99 in the system

This doesn't necessarily mean that's the official price as much as it's the price they're listing it as. I've been given refunds on pre-orders before.

It is going to be 89.99, but the March 1 release date is just a place holder saying that it is coming out sometime during that month, and I know this because I work at GameStop also.

I work at Gamestop and yes, it is going for $89.99. It's a minimum $5 down to pre-order it. The release date in our systems is 3/1/07 and I can't wait! :)

$80 would be amazing. More songs, downloadable songs, supposedly GH1 at launch, and if rumors are true the new GH 80s Edition would hopefully be there too.

Add in Achievements (which will be hard for this game, challenging, and something actually worth showing off. 5 Star Freebird Expert.), online leaderboards, and the potential for future co-op and it's way worth it.

I might sell my copy of GH2 with controller on eBay, heck depending on immediate release of GH1 songs and price, I've considered selling GH1/2 plus both controllers, for like $120 start bid on eBay. I take a loss, but not much.

Guess again #15 , play.com has the uk version at a stonking £64.99 ($125 equivilent). Why am I not surprised.

All we can hope is that either that is a guide price in place and the actual price will come down.

To be honest i belive your more likely to find it cheaper in store when it comes out , either game or hmv normally give good prices (gears was £30 in my local hmv when released)

I was reading up on the Jan 2007 issue of EGM and apparently the bundle will cost around $90 US and be available in game stores in the US on March 2. As of now i am not sure if preorders are accepted and im trying to find out how.
