@Nick
Actually, it's more like only .78 cents American for 1 Canadian Dollar currently . About 6 months ago it was more like par, so you're just wrong and cynical...

... Are you seriously going to pretend that people don't play Guitar Hero?

I pretend that people smart enough to read gaming blogs like this are smart enough not to.

It's official, instrument games have jumped the shark.

My guess would be the $2 a whack for songs. Too expensive. People get sick of being bilked and milked for every little dime.

So now their trying to dump their junk that literally clogs retail isles. Seriously folks, if you hold out just a tad longer, you're going to see that crap drop even more as retailers become leery of big boxes, taking up tons of space, that aren't really moving.

xcrunk, $2 is not too much for DLC. It's not like you buy every single song every week, anyway. I usually buy about 5 songs for Rock Band one month, then don't buy any at all next month because nothing of interest comes out...

I'm just not a fan of where the Guitar Hero franchise is heading and my ant-GH posts are a testament of that. I know I am not the only one mad at what is going on with all the new games and crappy DLC. Don't get me wrong. GH:WT is still a good game.

But stealing an idea and claiming to be first ("Isn't it called Rock Band? -We call it Guitar Hero World Tour"), milking the franchise and being generally inferior and only saying because of the popularity of the brand is what will, eventually kill Guitar Hero and maybe even the whole genre if the market gets oversaturated.

That makes me a sad puppy as it is the cheapest way to listen to my favorite tracks in 5.1, remastered and remixed and in higher than mp3 quality. I am an audiophile and I really appreciate the subtle difference. (And don't even get me started on MONO sound in Wii GH3 and overall crappy GH3 sound quality on every platform. GHWT mix quality was a huge improvement, by the way).

"But stealing an idea and claiming to be first ("Isn't it called Rock Band? -We call it Guitar Hero World Tour")"

Isn't this called Guitar Freaks and Drum Mania? We call it Rock Band.

"I pretend that people smart enough to read gaming blogs like this are smart enough not to."

People who don't read video game blogs are smart enough not to be drooling fanboys, apparently.

+1 for roto. I completely agree with your statement.

That is the hard part. Sure they come apart, but they are still big and bulky.

careful mike. I post a link to slickdeals .net and my post was deleted.

I sorry what. I still play GH and I find it more fun than rb and rb2. That could be because I am one of those people that are on scorehero. That do optimal paths and squeeze. I am just saying some Music/Rhythm game fans just find rb kind of boring. I love the game but I find it boring when playing with less than 3 people, unless I am doing a PFO or Score Duel as it is called on Rb2

Oh god. I'd never play a rhythm game without friends and drinking carnage going on. Its a whole nother ball game to be competitive.

So the competitive leaderboard community has likes GHWT? That's interesting.

it is very interesting. i mean we all for the most part love RB but its just like your comment say a game that is more played with people and less for competition.

Can't comment on the RB instruments, only used the original guitar for a quick bash of 'Paranoid' but the GH:WT instruments are the business. The new guitar is bigger than the GH2/GH3 versions and the strum bar is less 'clicky' (if you've tried the GH2&3 guitars you know what I mean.) The drums kick arse too, the cymbals really help make it feel like you're actually playing the song note-for-note.

Word of warning to the wise: I did have to get the drums replaced as after about a fortnight the red one gave up on me. But you can also get a USB-MIDI cable from Red Octane that you can use to fine tune the drums' sensitivity from your PC. Very handy.
