This is a crazy good deal. If only I had a place to store it.

[rant]

Thanks for the post! I have been waiting for an excuse to pick this up and I don't think I can turn down this deal!

[turls]

Was thinking about this but the drum set looks like a problem to me. Other reviews mention the kick pedal not really being anchored down. That would drive me nuts.

The main reason I'd be buying it is for the wireless drums and for the game itself, which will probably be $20-$30 before long. So I'll pass.

[MidnightMetal]

ugh i really wish this wasn't a good deal, (I don't have the space nor the $ to spend it) though i was going to get the Drum set from TRU from the 19th ad for $70, but might as well get everything for an extra $20.

I already have the game and controller so I'll just, trade in the game and my old X-plorer to make the deal even sweeter! :)

[controlcommerce]

:whee:

[GioSH]

In for 1.

[mrmoodz]

Damn this is a sweet deal!! I went in on the ROck Band 2 Bundle back when Toys R Us messed up the price. Anybody that doesn't own either one yet should buy this.

[Hyperlancer]

Does WM price match their site if it's more expensive in stores? I've done it at BB before and saved about $200 on a TV.

[perdition(troy]

walmart doesn't price match its website, sorry.

[manthing]

Does WM price match their site if it's more expensive in stores? I've done it at BB before and saved about $200 on a TV.

No, but this item is eligible for free 'Site to Store' shipping, where they will deliver the item to a particiapting Wal-Mart of your choosing.

Thus you'd end up paying the same price from the site as you would if they PM'd the website.

[oyla10]

Add it to your cart, do site to store shipping and pick it up a couple of days later for like an extra buck I believe.

Edit: Whoops, little late on that.

[MrPiggleWiggle]

Had to buy it... COULD NOT RESIST FUTURE LANDFILL FODDER.

[Shady3011]

I'm going to hold back for now. The price is probably not going to get much lower any time soon.

[Neorub]

Ughh... don't have the space

[Havoc1701]

Holy crap!!! In for one. Thanks OP!!!

[talonthrawn]

Too many plastic instruments already.. :( Good deal though.

Great deal, but I'm feeling the same thing. Rather wait on a good deal for the RB2 drums.

[Xfactor19990]

Does rb2 drums work with ghwt, vise versa?

[blackhole82]

I'm very tempted to get this, and sell all my old stuff on ebay.

[One4Deuce]

So tempted but can't justify the purchase. Though I want to. Ahh! Thanks OP.

[sleepydumbdude]

I am so tempted to get it also. I still need to do my taxes tonight, if its still up tonight after I get them done then this will be my reward. If its sold out then it was just not meant to be.

[ctrek3]

nice find op,

the guitar 2pack is also on sale for $69.82 which is cheaper than buying two guitar packs from the TRU sale on sunday. just fyi

What an amazing deal. I'm glad I've held out for a deal like this. Thanks, OP!

[Robb]

I've heard Rock Band isn't releasing any new instruments this fall. Anybody know if this is true? And what about Guitar Hero?

Reason: I've waited this long. It might be better to wait for the new gen instruments?!

[Gertle627]

I'm also wondering if these instruments work with RB? I have a couple of friends wanting RB, but if they can get this price, they can just get the RB game only later.

[lunker]

I'm also wondering if these instruments work with RB? I have a couple of friends wanting RB, but if they can get this price, they can just get the RB game only later.

The guitars and mic will work fine; the drums will be useable, but because the orientation is different it might be a little awkward.

[bardockkun]

I Have 4 microphones, 3 Rock Band drumsets, and about 11 plastic guitars. Kinda want to, but I should hold off...

[Mako1215]

sweet ass

Beatles: Rock Band Special Edition Bundle for PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii for $250 according to Gamestop.

[xjustice09x]

I've been looking for a good deal on this. I'm in for 1.

[Richard]

In for 1. I already got the game when it was 60 with the guitar. I will probably sell off some of the instruments but I really wanted to try the drums.

[Dawglet]

Ugh.... why is the PS3 kit so expensive? :(

[RMThompson]

Beatles: Rock Band Special Edition Bundle for PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii for $250 according to Gamestop.

Yeah but thats a premium drum set and a premium Hofner bass... no guitar (Although presumable it doesnt REALLY matter/guitar bass)

[Dakkon]

Wow, intensely good deal. I just can't justify it (no room, and my bro has it)..still pretty darn tempting though

[Admiral Ackbar]

I'm supricsed this isn;t on the front page. I ordered a kit and a friend is getting the two guitar/game pack for $70.

[poopants]

I had Best Buy price match this..(for gamers club reward points) great deal ..also best buy's 2 year protection plan on the instruments was only $14.00 which isnt terrible considering that the instruments will eventually break

[kevzik]

PMing at BB may make it worth it...hmmm

[As I Bleed]

Does rb2 drums work with ghwt, vise versa?
i know for sure the rb2 drums work for ghwt on the 360 but not sure about the other way around or other systems

[A1337Haxor]

WHY do all the good deals come when I have no money!?!

I'm in for one, site to store!

I don't think I spend $100 a year at Wal-mart but this is too good to refuse, next lowest I've seen was $165 and I almost picked it up at that price a week or so ago.

[PuertoRock33]

PMing at BB may make it worth it...hmmm


I was thinking this same thing. Will they do that If I printed it out?

[friedram]

Woot, this isn't the best deal ever- but a fantastic excuse to pick this up and then wait for GH Metallica to go on sale.

[sleepydumbdude]

I went to best buy tonight to get a dvd and the guy in front of me pull off a price match on this.

[Mako1215]

Since the GHWT Band I bought in store was missing pieces time to return it!, and get this online!

[Xfactor19990]

i know for sure the rb2 drums work for ghwt on the 360 but not sure about the other way around or other systems
k thanks, how much is this retail $189?

[Masterkyo]

Does WM price match their site if it's more expensive in stores? I've done it at BB before and saved about $200 on a TV.

You can get Sears (extra 10% instant) or Bestbuy (you buy it full price & turn around to customer service for extra 10% off lowest guarantee) pricematch the deal. Just print out the page and take it any Sears or BB :)

[Xfactor19990]

lm tempted

[XeroKaizoku]

nooooo.....ugh my poor wallet can't take much more...I'd like to bite on this but I have three x-plorers and the whole kit IS tempting....grrr.....why does walmart hate my financial situation? Thanks OP but I think I have to wait til my bills get chipped down a little more for me to bite....it's a rollback too so it might stick around for a while OR get better

BTW I keep seeing questions about instrument compatibility and I found a chart at joystiq that shows which peripherals work for which games for which systems....sounds weird but take a look.

http://www.joystiq.com/Instrument-Compatibility-Matrix/

[Stryffe2004]

Grabbed this to replace my RB1 stuff. I will finally have 2 wireless guitars and the wireless drums will be a plus as well.

[Ziv_Zulander]

Thanks OP! Ordered one for myself.

[Niblet]

So is this set better than the Rock Band 2 set? Is there any valid arguement for why the Rock band 2 band set is still $190 dollars? AFAIK this set is supposed to beat out Rock band in terms of Drums and Guitar. I'm in for one if anyone recommends that I jump on it. tbh I would prefer to get rockband instruments, but that bundle is too much for me.

[aspower]

$80, I might even be able to justify that one. I want a new set of drums for RB2 but can't seem to find a good $ on just drums (if that exists). Those GHWT drums look cheap, but maybe worth it for $80. Probably trade in the game out right as it's fairly lame compared to both RB 1&2.

[skrutop]

Man, when the next one comes out, people should hold off. Didn't take long for this game to drop like a stone.

[spideymike]

Well, I just checked quickly and I call Shenanigans. Don't see it on their site at all using a keyword search of "Guitar Hero."

[JP]

Well, I just checked quickly and I call Shenanigans. Don't see it on their site at all using a keyword search of "Guitar Hero."

I call Shenanigans on your Shenanigans! Here is the CAG thread about it: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221472. It was part of their madness sale but is now out of stock. So they WERE selling it but sold out. Also noted it's an Asia version, but region free.

[Coyotezeye]

Well, I just checked quickly and I call Shenanigans. Don't see it on their site at all using a keyword search of "Guitar Hero."

Thats because its OOS now..
The email listed it as part of the 48Hr Madness Sail

Limit 1
$79.90

If you check over @ SD, I think they had a post over there as well.

[spideymike]

Gotcha. Would have been a good deal, but an OOS sale is a non-deal.

[Hunter1671]

I just got the guitar 2 pack for 70 bucks but for the PS3 from WM. Pick it up today! Site to Store is cool because even though they give a really long wait period mine came in 2 days!

[sleepydumbdude]

I site to store stuff all the time it usually gives me a long time to come in but longest I've waited is 3 days.

[speculawyer]

Tempting. I'd pick these up if I didn't already have a slew of plastic guitars and drums.

[HiddenPanda]

I'm really going to think about getting these. Even though I just bought RB1 drums, I wouldn't mind having the extra wireless controller and wireless set. Plus the game too boot.

For those who got it price matched at BB, how did you do it? Do they pm the prices on the site? Could I bring in a printed copy of it and ask them to pm it?

I've got a 10% off coupon and 25$ reward zone coupons to use, would make it awfully hard to resist to pay just 75$ after tax for all that.

[craigbezzle]

Just picked one of the band kits up. Says expect it between Apr 27-May 1st. I was hoping I would get it by my birthday, Apr 23.

[Xfactor19990]

how much is it with tax etc ? Also lol can i order 2 one for me and a friend

[HiddenPanda]

Tax is going to depend on where you live, so anywhere between 100$ and 110$ prolly. Out here in Cali would be 110$.

[craigbezzle]

I'm in Kentucky and my total was 105.72. And yes, I believe you can order more than one. It asked me what quantity, so I assume you can change it from '1'.

[SteelManAJ]

Been waiting a while. In for one.

Thanks OP

[Ultimate Matt X]

Sucks that the PS3 band kit isn't on sale, but I suppose I'd rather save the few bucks and get an extra guitar anyway.

[Nintendokid54]

does the live search work for this?
i searched "xbox 360 guitar" and only ebay and dell should up... :(

[ironmenpb]

when does it sale end???

[gigobahhh]

Hey there everyone, first post. I as well tried to PM at my local BB, went to the customer service counter and explained with printed online ad, and waited for her response (2-3 minutes)w hile she was on the computer looking for an answer. But the customer service employee said she couldn't PM because the price is "too low" to match. I hate being a pest, so how would I get around it without looking like a baby. Thinking about hitting another BB. And is BB right to deny me a PM. I read this on theyre policy.

Apologies ahead, I dont know how to set up the link to site...

Thanks Everyone...

What is a "Web-exclusive offer?"
It is a product or a price that is only offered to online buyers.

[Hyena]

Yes Walmart has 5% cash back you can either just go to the Walmart site through live search or search for Guitar Hero.

[morphineseason]

So what was the general consensus: are the Guitar Hero drums better than the Rock Band 2 drums?

[Organ Donor]

Too many plastic instruments already.. :( Good deal though.

Same here. Nice find, OP.

[ctrek3]

now if i could only figure out which system to get it for :-k. ps3 or 360. i have gh 1, 2, 3, and 80's for ps2, am not interested in the drums, will get rock band 1 and 2 eventually, and a mic for singstar too. I have the 60 gb 360, and put a 250gb drive into the ps3. i am leaning that way because of the larger hard drive. any thoughts CAGs?

[BostonCollegeFan]

Yeah get it for PS3 ctrek. The bigger HD will be worth it in the end and won't force you to keep deleting and redownlaoding songs on 360, or having ot buy a bigger HD. Plus with the PS3 you can join a DLC song group and you can get lots of songs for free.

[langdon_alger]

FYI bought the 2 guitar set for the ps3 today, there's a bundle that also includes a $25 walmart.com gift card.

[Oktoberfest]

crraappp I ordered the $70 PS3 2-guitar pack WITHOUT the gift card yesterday evening (and it was 82 cents more expensive). I just went ahead and emailed them asking if I could switch my order to the one WITH the gift card...

[ctrek3]

well i picked up the guitar pack from TRU and an extra controller from bb yesterday the les paul. and i cannot believe how disappointed i am, the ghwt controller sucks, it will work fine for about a song then the strum will double or not work at all on a down strum. the les paul is much better, but seems to drop out every once in a while. also my wife and i tried to play carrier mode on band, but i guess you can't with just guitars, so we tried to join and online band but it found nothing. this is for the ps3 by the way.

is anyone else having any of these problems? :bomb:

I've had nothing but good things about my WT controller... it rawks pretty good.

I also went the TRU route, instead of the 70 kit. I already have a Les Paul, so it made sense.

Now thanks to the GS deal w/Aerosmith I have 2 X-Plorers (one new in box) for trade/sale!

Thanks CAG!

so you have it for the 360. i keep thinking i should try to return it and get them for the 360 instead. do the guitars require the usb dongle on the xbox as well?

[RMThompson]

No the 360 guitars, both Les Paul and the WT one, connect wirelessly without a dongle, and act like regular controllers.

I also had Guitar Hero:WT for the Wii for awhile, and noticed trouble with THAT guitar - it would recognize button presses that were never made on the pad.

So in my experience, the 360 version of these games has been the most stable and rewarding. Because of this I am migrating all of my Wii music games to the 360! Of course, I've never played the PS3 version(s), so they might be just as good.

my les paul does this. the ghwt one just stops recognizing the downstrum, and i have read many different reasons, i went with the ps3 cause of the larger hard drive, and felt that that system would last longer, but without bluetooth built into the guitars, they seem to suck. i wonder if i'll be able to return this stuff, its all opened already. :wall:

[EarthBoundX5]

I saw this deal and searched ebay before going to walmart. I bought the complete band bundle and rockband 1 for about $70 each from "zkarlo" (I picked up both to avoid shipping). Both were basically brand new (drums for rockband hadn't even been removed from the box).

[somahead33]

Thanks for this. Two wireless guitars, GH:WT and a RB1 drumset for $80. Need to buy RB2 and rent RB1 and I am all set.
