$10 less than just buying the Rock Band 2 Guitar on it's own...still probably will pick up the RB2 guitar.

demi · « **Reply #2 on:** December 02, 2008, 08:43:20 AM »

I got to handle a GHWT guitar at Best Buy... sooo good.

Etrian Odyssey 2 is also $12 on Amazon Deal of the Day

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #3 on:** December 02, 2008, 08:53:59 AM »

I just bought GH3 yesterday at $45 for the guitar

cool breeze · « **Reply #4 on:** December 02, 2008, 09:07:18 AM »

is the GHWT guitar better than the RB2 guitar? did they make the neck thinner at all?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #5 on:** December 02, 2008, 09:08:54 AM »

it's thicker than the rb2 guitar neck

it's built really solid, the strum bar is a combo of the rb guitar's strum bar shape and the click feedback of gh guitars

Leagues better. As an expert professional guitar player, this is fact

I bought GH3 Black Friday for 50, pretty much for the guitar as well

My XPlorers could barely activate star power/overdrive anymore.

Though looking at the Amazon reviews of the game, it looks like the World Tour guitar wouldn't work for long anyway.

is it thinner than the GH3 guitar? I felt it was too thick while the RB1 was a bit too thin, just as whole it was more comfortable to use.

i don't have a gh3 guitar yet, so i couldn't tell you

Why can't they have deals during the summer when I actually have money :'(

Bebpo · « **Reply #12 on:** December 02, 2008, 03:51:30 PM »

EO2 for $12 is a good deal. I held off on buying it because I still haven't finished the original, but that's as good of price as any to pick it up finally.

demi · « **Reply #13 on:** December 02, 2008, 03:53:12 PM »

If you're going to blow 500 bucks on a PS3 this year, go with the Uncharted pack. At least that one is fun.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #17 on:** December 03, 2008, 04:22:32 PM »

I hope this doesn't mean that there won't be a standalone LBP deal for like $20

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #18 on:** December 03, 2008, 04:25:15 PM »

$499 U.S. DOLLARS.

I feel like such an idiot for buying any games in November. Next year once October hits, I'll just wait until Black Friday to buy all of the Fall games.

Screw that! I feel dumb for buying games on BLACK FRIDAY. I bought LP Colonies for $20 on Friday, now it's $10
