That means that it will be about £110 in the UK!!

man what's with these game/accessory bundles costing almost as much as consoles themselves? lmao

I never really got into the Guitar hero, but I think I would like the drums. But where are you going to store THAT game controller?

Yeah its steep but I will say, how much is FUN worth? If its gonna be fun then I am prolly gonna have to have it..Dont't care what the price is ...That mean if most say its fun then I 'll soon be saying the same..Or at least I'll know.

it's not THAT good.this isn't steel batallion.

there had better be 2 more free games in the package.or free downloads of new music.

F*ck THAT!

What Im gonna do is but Guitar Hero III for the 360 and get the wireless giutar and buy Rock band the game (by itself) while my friend's gonna but all of the other instruments. I think its a good plan.

What the hell is this now? Rock Band? $200? Does is come with some groupies in the box or are they sold separately?

i'll buy it used. and the guetar hero controler has 5 less buttons than this one. i wonder if there is a solution or you HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE. but i thought they said it would work and now this guitar has ten buttons

I hope we know soon if we can use the guitar for GH3 and the Mic for Singstar and the like. That will make the price far easier to swallow. I'll probably get them all regardless, but it would be nice to not have 4 different guitar controllers etc. cluttering up the place.

I know they've said the guitar controllers would work - I imagine they just meant on 360 since PS2 isn't getting Rockband and PS3 doesn't have GH yet. Let's all cross our fingers.

I just don't understand the whole guitar hero and rock band craze. I've played guitar hero 1 and 2, frequency, amplitude, all that similar stuff... It's fun I guess...

BUT what happened to going and buying a REAL guitar or drum set, or just plain singing? I think it is a lot more commendable to actually play an instrument than pressing buttons in time while watching tv (dry eyes and losing contacts from staring).

Whatever, If everyone one enjoys it and likes shelling out the money for new games, songs, and guitars, go for it, I guess it's probably is just a little cheaper than buying a real instrument. I dunno about you, but last time I checked, ladys fall for the real guitar hero, not the game playing one.

Well when I first read it I thought 200 was a bit much but after thinking how much I payed for Guitar Hero the price really is not bad. I hope the game will be great. I for one think the competition between this and Guitar Hero can only make future games even better. So I hope this will be a hit.

they should make a game and guitar bundle itself. that would probably be the most popular. whatever happened to bass? weren't they gonna have one of these guitars too? or will it just work through the regular wireless guitar controller?

use the controller instead. Then again, the black wireless Fender Guitar Controller lQQks SWEET! [:P

People complain about pricing too much. How mush is it right now just for a wireless guitar at the store. Just an hour ago was there, and the sell for 60 bucks. So why complain? For 200 dollars you get the drums, Mic, guitar....that's not bad. Because you know, if they wanted too, they'd just charge like 80 bucks for drums, since there are more pieces, 60 bucks for the guitar, 50 (or 60) for the game, and like 40 fior the microphone. After tax and whatnot, that would come to about, oh, I dunno, 242. I wouldn't complain too much, with the amount of anal raping people WON'T be receiving on this one.

If it's not revealed by the company making the game then it's not revealed... gamestop is speculating like the rest.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
