Do you guys have a link to cite the pricing for the guitar / game bundle? I'm not seeing it on the Red Octane site, nor anywhere like Best Buy or Gamestop.

I'm sorry, but that drum set still looks pretty gimmicky and fakey. I definitely won't be getting the bundle. Looks kinda cheesy.

Yeah it can't be any worse than the RB2 Drumset.

I got the chance to play it at ACL a bit ago, and the drums are awesome. You actually feel like you're playing drums with the elevated cymbals, and they felt WAY sturdier than RB1 drums (I haven't had a chance to play with the RB2 set).

Didn't someone from Activision say at some point that World Tour would cost less than Rock Band?

They said "priced competitively" not "cheaper"

Read articles, people.

They should offer the instruments to be bought separate as well and not in one bundle.

If I remember correctly, Rock Band didn't have standalone guitars or drums right away. I think they waited a bit and then got those out there so they'll probably do the same with Guitar Hero.

I already have GH2 (bundle), GH3 (disc only), RB (bundle) and RB2 (disc only)....this'll have to wait until it's released as disc only without the instruments...(for x360 so everything is compatible)...

Doesn't seem terrible. I'll be picking up the 100 360 bundle. Considering it's all wireless and Red Octane has a good track record with their instruments, you shouldn't feel to ripped off. Im more of a Rock Band 2 person but I have no problem picking this up now that my ION drum set will work on it.

I'm surprised there isn't a price for just the drum kit or a drum/game bundle; great for us with working GHIII Les Pauls.

Any options for us GH3 users besides 'game only'? Like a standalone drum set?

Considering the guitar and drums are essentially controller "shells", you'd think it would be less, wouldn't you?

Yeah, considering that the drums and guitar attach to the Wii Remote, using it as its wireless connection (and the guitar uses the Wii Remote's accelorometers for Star Power), you would think they'd be cheaper than guitars that have that tech included.

Unless there's some sort of licensing fee associated with making a Wii Remote attachment... Much like how there's a licensing fee to use Microsoft's wireless technology for 360.

You know what would be awesome? If Guitar Hero/Rock Band didn't rip off everyone too dumb to realize they're buying the same game over and over.

Ha Ha, right you are! That's why I'll only be buying the game itself, not more "instruments". And I think the drums look rediculious.

I like Rock Band 2... I just wanted more songs and some bug fixes. Add feayures are a bonus. Now Shovel ware... there is a fight I'd support you on.

And I forgot to mention, I'm only buying it used at the cheapest possible price. I do want some new songs to sing.
