Face-melting deal: GHWT guitar and mic for $50, today only

by Ben Gilbert { Jul 1st 2009 at 11:00AM }

Everyone's favorite plastic peripheral purveyor, Red Octane, is having a bit of a deal today. The normally $60 wireless guitar and $20 wired microphone for Guitar Hero World Tour (across all platforms) are being offered together in a $50 package -- today only!

If you're less than impressed by the GHWT deal from today, why not get into your fancy schmancy time machine and head back to yesterday when you could've gotten an even better deal? Oh, what's that -- you don't have a time machine? Guess you're stuck with the $50 dollar deal over at Red Octane's website then, fancy pants.

Gotta make room for the weekly Guitar Hero titles somehow.

that deal doesn't melt my face

but Im sure looking at the guitar player on the left will

OK my face just melted! But I was recently involved in a "find the grail" cup selection contest so it may have been because of that.

They are clearing stock for GH5 controllers, of course. However, it should be much easier this time, since they are keeping the same body shape as the WT controller. Just a different faceplate, better strum switches, and a better touch pad.

Don't know what they have in stock for drums. All of this was confirmed on their Twitter.

I got GH:WT Guitar kit for $50 at Toys R Us a few months ago. That was face melting; this deal is not. And please, NO MORE mic deals. I have 3 wired mikes and the 2 LIPS mics as well. Do not want 6.

I'm also drowning in mics. No more!

Good luck with #2. I believe (used) mics sell for $10 at EBGamestop.

If only the mic was wireless.

Does this guitar work for the original Rock Band? My Rock Band guitar's strummer doesn't work anymore (apparently almost everyone who bought that game has that same problem).
