Activision clarifies Guitar Hero World Tour pricing
32
With no pricing details explicitly stated before, it wasn't surprising when a few people were confused and contacted us about Guitar Hero World Tour showing up as a $240 bundle on Red Octane's official site -- especially when the company doesn't seem to be offering a non-deluxe bundle. The special bundle adds to the normal instrument and game package: a t-shirt (Male XL only), battery charger, key chain and guitar case. The standard pricing for GHWT, direct from Activision:

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.

They said "priced competitively" not "cheaper"

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

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.

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.

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