Rock Band $100(PS2 $70), GH3 $40 All Systems Guitar Center

[romodome]

Stolen from Slickdeals...YMMV but everyone seems to be saying its confirmed

Rock band for 360 and PS3 for $100, the PS2 Version is $70

GH3 ALl Versions $40.00

Hopefully this helps someone.

[acecombat]

Where is this again?? You said SD WTH is that??

[Cow_tipper]

Where is this again?? You said SD WTH is that??

It says "Guitar Center" right there in the title of the thread.

[Justin42]

I heard an ad on local LA radio mentioning at least the GH3 part of this... although in hindsight I don't completely remember if it was the bundle or just the game.

[motuza]

Woah this is a great deal, I may have to bite.

[h3llbring3r]

Nice deal for Rockband.

[ch3zyp00fs]

ill have to check this out tomorrow.

[lucao]

Dude, I have to go four cities down for this but if its true it'll be worth the drive.(and the gas)

[Masterkyo]

Online store still have it forl $90 for 360 version :(

[V4oLDbOY]

its true. I had to pick up a few things, 2 picks and a few strings. They were out or rock band for 360. but had a few ps3, no wiis. And had a lot of guitar heroes. Not a bad deal if you got one in your area.

Its their anniversary sale, in-store only I believe.

edit: I cant actually recall the price, since i was not very interested in buying either game, but I think the op is right...

[VaultDweller13]

And had a lot of guitar heroes.

Were they game only or the bundle?

[V4oLDbOY]

Were they game only or the bundle?

bundles, I didn't see any game onlys actually, but then again I wasnlt looking for them. Just noticed the sale sign and the stack of stuff.

[geehal]

hmm, pick this up or wait for the new bundles?

[Jagged Toaster]

Wow, I'll bite on GH3 for $40. There's a Guitar Center attached to the mall nearby. It'll be nice to have a second guitar for Rock Band. I bought the game for the PS2 after Christmas, but I never played it.

EDIT: Leaving now, I'll report back.

[ospriteo]

The store in OP, Kansas had GH3 for all three systems this morning. Probably around 15 total. I didn't see any rockband bundles but i wasn't looking for them.

[icarusmight]

Holy crap, thats an awesome deal. BTW are there the wireless bundles? If so Im so driving to the next city.

[Jagged Toaster]

I just stopped in at the Dayton Mall location, and I can confirm the deal. There was 1 360 WIRED bundle (which I bought :lol:), 1 PS3 WIRELESS bundle, and 3 PS2 bundles.

So apparently, PS3 bundles are going to be wireless and 360 bundles are going to be wired. I prefer wired anyways, no batteries needed.

There were also around 4 Rock Band bundles for the PS2, priced at $70.

[SubjectNameHere]

Full price everywhere in Phoenix metro.. they all said "man that's pretty sneaky to have it say xbox starting at 99 because that's the ps2 one." I had them ring it up and they came up as marked at $99 PS2 and $149 PS3/360.

[thesimplicity]

The Guitar Center closest to me (Tucson) had no idea about the sale. They checked the inventory in their computer (or whatever they do) and all the Rock Band bundles were full price.

[DarkKenpachi]

looks like it is on sale here in philly. gonna run up to plymouth meeting and get it asap. thanks OP

[omkoermac]

The Store by me in Villa Park Illinois had Guitar hero 3 for Xbox 360, but they only had the bundle with the wired controller. But they had the Wireless bundle for the PS3 and the PS2. All at 39.99. They also had rock band bundles for $100 but I did not check to see what systems. They had a whole stack of them though.

[GaveUpTomorrow]

Just got back from Fairlawn, Ohio where I picked up Guitar Hero III (PS3) -$40 and Rockband for PS2 - $70. I wanted the PS3 version of Rock Band, but they were all sold out. That's just fine though, as I went to my local store, bought Rock Band for $30 used, and now for the price of $100, I got both the PS2 and PS3 version of Rockband. All of the PS2 instruments are the same as the PS3 instruments, so this is the best way to get the best deal. Thanks for posting this though, best deal ever!

As I was leaving the store, several of the associates walked over and laid copies in the back because they are going to purchase them later. Go ASAP, as the associates seem like they will buy most of the stock up, and the one girl at the counter had looked up Ebay prices to see if she could re-sell. I can't blame them though, these prices are nuts.

[DarkSageRK]

Such a great deal and no transportation.

/wrists

[crazytalkx]

Fuck, I don't know if I should bite the bullet or wait for Guitar Hero WT.

[Prock]

thanks i ended up getting rockband for the 360. 106.98 with tax, not a bad price at all.

[chelosera91]

Fuck, I don't know if I should bite the bullet or wait for Guitar Hero WT.


wait for GHWT, once RB2 comes out, RB bundles will cost about $100 or even less.

[darkslime]

The Guitar Center closest to me (Tucson) had no idea about the sale. They checked the inventory in their computer (or whatever they do) and all the Rock Band bundles were full price. Fuck! I was so excited about this. Thanks anyway OP. >_>

[Gdiguy]

Fuck! I was so excited about this. Thanks anyway OP. >_>

The one in San Jose (CA) had signs up and it was definitely on; I bought rb (360), they had 2 or 3 360 versions still sitting on the floor when I left (30 mins ago), as well as 15-20 GH3's (most looked to be PS3/360); there was one sign that said they were $40, and a 2nd sign that said they were $70, but I suspect the 40 is right

They said they had Wii Rock Band's for that price yesterday and sold out very fast as well

thanks op btw! (below around $120 was my tipping point.. =p)

[spydey]

Hmmm...should I bit on this or wait for Rock Band 2?

[Jagged Toaster]

Hmmm...should I bit on this or wait for Rock Band 2?

I would buy RB now. You can get both 1 and 2 for around $160 instead of $200+ by doing it the other way around.

[ajumbaje]

anyone know if the richmond, va one has this going on?

[DaFulla]

I did almost the same thing at the Allen Park, Michigan store, but I actually traded in the PS2 version at Gamestop for $15. The 10% off used games coupon meant I walked out of there with the PS3 disc for only $12. I had to stop at a few on the way home to get a copy with instructions and case, but the disc looks new (thanks to Blu-Ray coating.) $82 before tax for a Rock Band 1 setup; not too bad. Almost glad now that they didn't have the PS3 version, since I saved $18 with little effort/gas spent.

[kklems]

The store in OP, Kansas had GH3 for all three systems this morning. Probably around 15 total. I didn't see any rockband bundles but i wasn't looking for them.

humm on vacation with family in OP maybe I'll swing by tomorrow before the royals game.

[WiiNet]

Anyone seen a Wii bundle for either game?

[Jagged Toaster]

Anyone seen a Wii bundle for either game?

Someone in the Slickdeals thread saw one. There were none at my local store.

[dualblade]

One in Santa Clara (Cali.) had many GHIII (I saw PS2, alot of PS3s and a few X360) for $40 and about three Rock Bands left at $100.

I picked up GHIII and Rock Band for myself for about 150. It is like buying Rock Band and getting Guitar Hero for free. :D

Heads up. It is all wired bundles only and the guitar for Guitar Hero is a xplorer not the Les Paul at my location.

I called ahead and picked it up VERY early this morning.

[ItsaMeMario]

damn, too bad i missed out on this one, i would've gone to the SJ one today for sure...

oh well, I just hope they drop down to this price again once RB2 & GH:WT come out

[exRounder]

Thanks OP! I don't need the RB2 upgrades; I need to SAVE.

[derekzoolander]

Is there a way to get walmart to price match this? I haven't seen an ad or anything like that.

[ch3zyp00fs]

Awesome. I picked up RB and GH for the 360!

[spydey]

I would buy RB now. You can get both 1 and 2 for around $160 instead of $200+ by doing it the other way around.

Good point. I'll swing by after church and see if they still have any in stock.

[Purkeynator]

So I could buy the PS2 version for the instruments for $70. Then pick up a used Rockband game on PS3 on the cheap. Then I could buy the original Gibson SG guitar (the PS2 Guitar Hero 1 & 2 guitar) and run that with my pelican PS2 to USB converter and use that as my second guitar for bass guitar? I could then use the Gibson if I ever were to pick up Guitar Hero 1 &2 on PS2. What I am trying to do is figure out how to buy the least amount of guitars (2) that would be compatible with the most games for the cheapest amount of money.

[au7oma7ic]

Great deal. Went to guitar center in manchester, ct, picked it up for the 360.

Also, I just normally watch and read these threads but I would like to just tell all of you guys here at the CAG forums thanks for posting up great deals and finds for us fellow gamers. You save myself, and many many others, tons of money. Keep up the great work, and thanks.

[spydey]

Sweet! I got the last one at our store and they gave me the 360 version for $69.

[gotenex]

Picked up 2 PS3 bundles, thanks for this great deal!

[motuza]

Got the 360 version from the north Houston location. Thanks a bunch!

[Masterkyo]

Independence (Missouri) have both 360 & PS3 version for $40 each. 360 version is wired bundle and PS3 version is wireless bundle. I wish i have PS3 but i happy with the price.

[DaFulla]

Is there a way to get walmart to price match this? I haven't seen an ad or anything like that.

I've been told flat out that Wal-Mart does not price match. I actually got Best Buy to PM the Guitar Center price, by showing them the GC receipt. They were not happy, but couldn't wiggle out of it. Just make sure the local GC still has copies in stock.

[MXMayne]

When does this sale end?

[spydey]

Dang it. My guitar won't activate overdrive. Oh well, EA is sending me another one.

[MXMayne]

NVM guy said last all through AUG but they only have 2 left and I wont have the cash til FRI.Hopefully they will get more in

Do you mean Walmart won't pricematch this price or won't ever price match? If it is the latter, you've been misinformed, as Walmart is probably the easiest store to price match anything at around. I've price matched many games in the past just by bringing an ad in. Maybe your Walmart has a different policy? All of the Walmarts around me used to price match and beat the price by 10% as well, but they only price match now without the 10%.

[sarma81]

The GC at Union Square, NYC had 4 copies of Rock Band (360) as of closing time today. They also had a couple of GH3s for PS3 and 360 (Xplorer bundle).

[Knoxximus]

Las Vegas here,,,,just walked out with a PS3 bundle for $40 at the GC at Durango/Charleston. They still had 1 360 wired bundle, 7 PS3 bundles, and 2 PS2 Rockbands remaining.

Not true. Walmart will price match if you bring them a local (within 25 miles usually) competitors ad. If there is no ad, they probably won't call and do the match. On Black Friday last year, they price matched the CC $10 wii games and didn't even call to verify they were in stock. All I had to do was bring in the CC ad.

[iggypop123]

what about the GC from hollywood Cali. anyone can they let me know?

[rifle21]

Picked up Rock Band for the 360 for 106 today after tax. Great deal, thanks op. Got it at the GC in Baltimore, MD, didn't know how many they had left cause i had em put it on hold for me.

Hmmm, my Guitar Center would not let me hold my copies. I told them I'd be there within 30min, and they refused to hold them as the items were considered clearance and were on a first come first serve basis. The lady on the phone did say she would sit the only PS2 copy behind the counter for me so no one could see it, but if someone had asked for it, she would have to give it up. I guess it is also important to mention that they told me that because the sale involved video games, they couldn't accept a return for any reason.

[judyjudyjudy]

I just saw this too. :cry:

Gonna check tomorrow and report back, if I have time.

[sarma81]

Yah the signs said $79.99 for GH but the guy at the counter checked and confirmed that both the 360 and PS3 versions were $39.99. I saw about 4-5 copies of the 360 Xplorer bundle and 1 copy of the PS3 version. The guy also told me that this deal would be going on till the end of the month.

[derekzoolander]

Evansville, IN has PS2. PS3 and 360 versions of GH3 and the same for RB but the sale was only this weekend at this store. Walmart wouldn't price match since they didn't have an AD to compare it to. They went into this whole monologue about how Walmart AD matches not price matches.

[Guerrilla]

I picked up the :360: GH bundle (of many), while my brother scored the last :ps3: GH bundle. They only had 1 :360: Rockband and a few :ps2: Rockbands as well, but we already had them. From the signs, the sale was only good for 8/9-8/10.

[spydey]

There are two bundles. One with the wireless and one with the wired xplorer.

[ew2x4]

I picked this up in Colorado Springs yesterday. I got 2 360 Guitar Hero bundles for $80. I then sold one of the games to Gamestop for $10. So, two guitars and the game for $70 isn't bad. Thanks for the heads up.

[DrNo888]

Nothing left at Santa Clara store.

[exRounder]

Hopefully this is ontopic enough, but how much do the XPlorer 360 guitars go for at GS?

picked up a 360 rock band for $99.99 at the Guitar Center in Lewisville, TX

[bojay1997]

what about the GC from hollywood Cali. anyone can they let me know?

Just was over there. It looks like they had about eight of the PS3 version of GH3 and a bunch of Rock Band for the PS3, but all the signs had higher prices than $100 and $40. I believe the lowest price listed was $70 for the GH3 bundle. I didn't ask or have it scanned, so it could be the same as the other stores.

[DaFulla]

Do you mean Walmart won't pricematch this price or won't ever price match? If it is the latter, you've been misinformed, as Walmart is probably the easiest store to price match anything at around.

Thanks for the correction, it is at only one Walmart that I've ever tried, so there may be an issue at the one location (or maybe the problem is justme ;) )

Why wouldn't you buy the Rockband pack for $70? Then you could spend $60 on rockband 2 when it came out and your total would be $130 for both games. If you need the PS3 version, it is $30 used making your total $160 for both. By buying just the RockBand 2 bundle, you're spending $190, and only getting Rock Band 2. That's an anti-deal.

[spydey]

I did my first game with 3 people today. I was surprised how much fun we had with it. It is way better with three people than with two.

[m3talst0rm]

Picked up Rockband (360) for 99.00 in Florence, KY today. They had two left around noon.

[kennistond]

My store said this ended yesterday. Those lieing bastards.

[the1brock]

Thanks op...was able to pick up GH3 PS3 for 40.

For anyone still interested in Columbus, Ohio there were 2 GH3 for PS3 and 2 for 360 as of 4pm 8/11 and I am pretty sure i saw a rockband on the ground but I didn't look closely at it so you might want to call ahead.

[revivalizt]

GH3 PS3 is $79 @San Bernardino, CA.

waste of time going there.. argh

At this point, it's YMMV. Call ahead for your free readin!

My wife picked up a 360 Rock Band in Toledo yesterday. Still $100. She said they had some PS2 kits left.

By the way, I totally underestimated how fun this could be. Drumming is a ridiculously good time.

[Conroy]

My friend picked up $100 xbox360 and I picked up $70 PS2 rockband (because they only had those 2 systems; I saw about 4 of each left) in Larchmont NY yesterday afternoon

I also saw a bunch of GH3's, but didn't notice any wii stuff

[RanchLizard]

Anyone know the item number for http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/images/icons/cagposticons/iconps3.gif Rock Band?

I found the UPC (014633159141 (http://www.upcdatabase.com/item/014633159141)) but wondered if Guitar Center has their own SKU.

[eelsushi1]

got my copy today. at my store (boston) they had 2 :360:and about 6 :ps3: GH3s. right after i got mine, they took the sign off. guess the sale is over now.

[red_devil3]

I just came from the one in Birmingham, AL. They had a bunch of Rock Bands for the 360 for $100, and a few GH3s for the 360 (wired) for $40. No Ps3/PS2/Wii stuff.

This is so tempting, but I want to get GH: World Tour....

[DaFulla]

Stopped at the Spring Meadows Guitar Center in Toledo, OH for some guitar picks today, and the Rock Band sale prices are still in effect, "while supplies last." They had 3 PS2 bundles for $69.99 each at lunch time.

Huh, good point. [Note: I only have a PS2 and a Wii; saving up for a PS3 for next year]. My plan was to buy Rock Band 2 for the Wii, which I read that it will have downloadable songs..etc same as the XBox360 and the PS3, and also for the updated drum/guitar.

Crap, now I don't know what to do.. Get Rockband for PS2 then get RockBand2 [game only] or wait for Rockband 2 [Wii version]...

Any advice on this is much appreciated.

Your songs (disc and download) will carry over from the previous Rock Band for the PS3 or 360; unless the Wii version is getting that back catalogue of songs, it will be inferior. If you plan upgrading to a PS3, then go for the PS2 version imho.

[FusionHype]

Grabbed a PS2 copy of the set for $70 on Sunday, then traded the game in for a PS3 version. Ended up only spending $90 total for what is retailing at $170. I'm very satisfied with my purchases :D

Thanks Op!

I was late to this deal party and called to check at the nearest store (hour one way...)
Deal ended yesterday, but If signs are still up, they should honor it...
Store I Just called still had the signs up, staff member said he would sell me one GH III PS3 for $40 today since I called...he was nice enough to admit the signs were still up in his store....

So get there while the gettins good, and perhaps you should Not call just in case the staff member is not as honest/nice ....

[GaveUpTomorrow]

For the improved instruments and rumors that rock band 2 will allow you to download the songs from the original.

It wouldn't be all of the songs, unless you own the game. The way it makes it sound is you'd be able to transfer your download content. The difference between the two would still be around $80 (if also getting Rock Band 1), which wouldn't be worth it at all. You still can't beat Rock Band for $69.99 or $99.99.

[Computersnacks]

Buy it for the PS2. Then take the game disc and trade it for a PS3 game disc.

the ps3 version has online and DLC.

[espy605]

the ps3 version has online and DLC.

The PS2 version also only plays back pre-rendered videos when you're playing. The PS3 version lets you custom create characters which I think adds to a lot of the fun.

The PS3 version will also let you export a lot of songs on the Rock Band 1 disc to Rock Band 2.

Brea - Rockbands were still marked down (Anniversary sale) but GH3 bundles were back up to $79.99.

[jdawgg76]

Was this part of an anniversary sale? I ask cause I was denied a cheap GH3 on Friday (Rock Band still had a 100 sign on it) and then the day after (yesterday) I heard a radio ad for an anniversary sale which included GH3 for "39" this weekend only. Just trying to figure out if it was an old ad. Also, is there any advantage to getting either the 360 or PS3 version over the other?

Was this part of an anniversary sale? I ask cause I was denied a cheap GH3 on Friday (Rock Band still had a 100 sign on it) and then the day after (yesterday) I heard a radio ad for an anniversary sale which included GH3 for "39" this weekend only. Just trying to figure out if it was an old ad. Also, is there any advantage to getting either the 360 or PS3 version over the other?

Well I checked on Friday, but the Anniversary sale was going at that point (since they had signs up for Rock Band at $99.99 for the sale). No go on the GH3 bundle- I guess call ahead.

Picked up a Rockband for PS2 for the sale price today. I plan on picking up the PS3 version of the game to make this the ultimate deal.

Does anyone know if the Rock Bands for Wii are also on sale?

Finally got some time to set up my Rockband and what do you know? the guitar doesn't work. I bought the PS2 version of the game. I hooked it up to my PS2 and the guitar works fine at first but then keeps losing its connection. The solid red light on the adapter starts blinking red and the guitar red light goes out completely. I would have to constantly stop and hit the sync button on the adapter and then the guitar to sync up again. It happened over and over. I tried resetting the game and tried the other USB port and got the same result on every song. After a few seconds it would disconnect. I then tried it upstairs on my PS3 console (60GB). It would connect fine and register on the XMB menu but when it went into the game the red light on the adapter would go out completely and no amount of pushing the sync button on the adapter or the guitar would make the red light come on and connect. Any ideas? (other than contacting EA support which I understand will send me a new guitar at MY expense)

You could do like me and buy the 360 version and exchange it for the Wii version at a store that does that sort of thing.

If I have bad batteries in my wireless guitar, it does the same thing.

Souix Falls one still has Rock Band for 100, picked up a 360 one for myself.

Wow, a CAG'r from Sioux Falls. I miss Tea :(

So is this hit or miss now?

I actually live in the pipestone area, but Souix Falls is the closest biggish city. I got some friends in tea.

Yeah I was trying to make it back this summer to visit, didn't have the chance. I grew up there most my life. I also am quite familiar with Pipestone. Don't miss the winters there that's for sure...

YMMV at this point- some stores have kept it as a clearance though.

I got my replacement guitar today. It's overdrive does work, but is still kind of shottie.

[spikyhunter3]

PIcked up a 360 version at the East Brunswick, NJ location yesterday. They had a few more 360 ones, and ps2 ones also. The box said 169.99, but it rang up as 99.99.

FYI, this deal is still going on... my closest GC (Glen Burnie, MD) just got in a couple of PS2 Rock Bands, one of which I bought this morning for $69.99. :bouncy:

Might have to check out the GC next to my work today to see if they have a GH3 for PS3 for cheap.
