Guitar Hero: World Tour Will Rock Your Socks, Wallet

Met with jeers, dismay, and “I told you so”-s, GameStop’s hefty $189.99 listing for the Guitar Hero: World Tour band package totally ruined everyone’s Memorial Day Weekend. If it will ease your pain any, the PS2 bundle is supposed to be ten bucks cheaper. As of now there is also a listing for a “guitar kit” (as many fans hoped) which still runs a steep fee of a Benjamin minus one cent. Finally, the game on its own will retail for $59.99 on PS3 and 360, but $49.99 on Wii and PS2.

I can imagine for many this will be divisive pointone that will dissuade many from even considering purchasing the game, especially if they already own Rock Band. The nay-sayers will only be bolstered by these figures, saying there’s no way the new game could be worth it. And yet on the other hand I’m sure the more patient folks will be happy to gloat about saving up for this game by skipping out on Rock Band in the first place. In my opinion, if the game lives up to all its promises (the biggest on-disc library of songs, realistic drums, robust song creation) then it should be well worth the money.

      That price is a holding price. It’s not the final price. We had wii fit listed as 999.99 for a long time.
