Ha ha. Only picking on you.

That would be awesome if you could pick one up. Let me know and we can meet up this week, if possible. If it was Steve Reynolds, I would just head up there myself.

I need to go by the Stone Mountain Target, so I'm going to check there too, however, if you could pick me up one, I'd be very grateful!!

Thanks!! And I'll refrain from any snarky remarks on your posts..........for the next 24 hours......

I'm assuming this not the bundle, because $12 for RB2 sets would be ridiculous.

Couldn't check CAG again before I left work, but I'm sure there will be plenty left tomorrow. BTW, none at Steve Reynolds, I checked it out on my way home. Nothing too exciting there.

Yeah, game only, although one day I'm sure the set will be around 15 to 20 just like when RB1 sets clearanced out. Of course, I'm sure noone would have 20+ of those!

Considering the Les Paul is my favorite GH/RB guitar out there, getting 2 for $22 was well worth it and I'll keep World Tour around in case I get GH5 and want to import the songs. Still plenty available, although PS3 only has the 1 new style guitar package. EDIT - Amazon is giving $10 for World Tour trade-in so you could effectively get 2 Les Pauls for $12. Can't beat that.

For those that can't get in on this, Costco is selling the bundle with the new style guitar (for 360 & PS3) for $30.

Hey Felder, can you clarify a couple of things?

Doesn't the GH bundle have the guitar in it? How can they give you a choice of 2 Les Pauls if the new style already is pre-packaged?

Also, how many would you consider "a ton"? I may try and go up there tomorrow if they might still have them, but it's a long drive for me, so I want to have a pretty good idea that they have them before making the trek.

Thanks!!

From what I've seen there are two different "guitar bundles"... one with the game and the new style guitar and one with the game and two of the Les Paul guitars.

And if you do go up there, you would be the most awesomest person ever if you grabbed me one of the two Les Paul bundles.

Sure. I'm going to wait to see how many were there first. That's a long drive to come up empty-handed!

If you do go that way I'd be much obliged if you could wrangle up a bundle for me as well. Not really sure which bundle I'd prefer as I've got two Les Pauls (GH3 and GH:A) and I don't know if the WT guitar is better. Mainly interested in the game and I have a friend who'd want the guitar(s).

For Xbox 360, I mean a ton! There were at least 10 of the dual Les Pauls (spread out between the normal Xbox location and the clearance location) and maybe 5 or 6 of the one touch slide guitar.

Hey guys, Marietta(Smyrna)/41 TRU didn't have the Batman AA giftcards today, they just gave me a normal one w/ the $30 credit. However, my brother informed me that he did get the Batman GC at Barrett/Kennesaw if it matters to you.

FWIW:
I checked Sydney Marcus, Kennesaw, and Perimeter BBY for pennied guides last night and found only two stray KZ2's. I am looking for a Dead Space and X-Men origins. If anyone sees any pick it up for me or hide me one .

Thank you- I swung by today during my lunch break and picked up the XBOX360 version with 2 Guitars at $22. There were about 6-8 left of this and the new guitar version. How does the Les Paul version compare to the new guitar style? What are the differences?

Confirm the nothingness at SM's BB. Although they do STILL have a Saint's Row 2 guide from the last drop. SM Target is now down to 22 Rock Band 2s.

My apologies, but I wasn't able to get out to NP Target today. I have been pretty busy and it's a 37 mile drive (one way), so that made it extra tough.

Les Paul vs. GH:WT guitar - I find that the Les Paul is superior. THe GH:WT is much heavier to hold and has a thicker neck, which hurts my hands quicker. Les Pauls have also been of higher quality and less likely to break, at least that's been my experience. The "advantage" to the World Tour guitar is it has the touch pad for slide guitar stuff that is in GH:WT and maybe GH:Metallica. But honestly, I've found that to be very imprecise and gimmicky and rather play it normal style. So 2 Les Pauls is definitely better than 1 new style in my opinion and I like to stock pile in case one breaks (I've got 6 now and I've only paid a total of $60 for 5 of them, not including the one that came with GH3). I think I'm set for a while!

The main difference is that the new guitar has the touch sensetive neck slider, I think its use is optional however.

Did you notice how many PS3 Les Pauls were left? I'm interested in the PS3 bundle.

There were definitely less PS3 versions than XBOX360 versions but I'm not sure on how many. If you go and can't find any, check the end caps, there was an endcap full of GH: World Tour.

Please allow me one more opportunity to agree that Brandsmart is the closest thing to Hell on Earth. AVOID.

I'm going to have to disagree based on my experience with Vizio HDTVs. My inlaws have a 42" set that they had for about a year when a dark black cloud appeared over the right half of the picture and quickly spread. No warranty support and they bought it from WalMart, so they were SOL.

I myself bought two 20" Vizio HDTVs (in succession) for use in the bedroom. Both units had defective speakers. One would buzz loudly when the mute button was activated or the volume was turned all the way down. Did some poking around the AVS Forums and discovered it was a known issue. The next, which was a slightly newer model that supposedly fixed the problem, buzzed while the volume was up. At that point I gave up.

There are many things that can go wrong with an HDTV, and you essentially get what you pay for. I also am a fan of Samsung, and have one of their 32" LCD HDTVs in my living room (top-of-the-line at the time), but after three years in service, it's started to show some faint clouding/burn-in on the upper right-hand side as well. So who knows. Hoping to upgrade to a 40" (the biggest my cabinet will allow) Samsung LED backlit LCD soon.

The Samsung that we have is a DLP and is slowly suffering from "dead pixels" (even though they aren't really pixels). It didn't start until after it was out of warranty. Apparently it is a known problem but then again DLP was not the best tech. The big problem is that we have a very limited budget to get a new TV. I like the Sharp Aquos myself. Maybe an LG would be good...

Wow, this thread blew up since I checked in 48 hours ago. I feel like I'm late to the party but those GHWT bundles with 2 LP controllers and the RB2 game only are great deals. I too feel that the LesPaul guitars are better. The touch slide thing was pretty lame and not accurate, plus the WT model's downstrum broke after a month, lame. Playing with only upstrums on guitar at the higher difficulties got old real fast. I'll see if I can check around for these 2 deals in the next few days and post any findings. I know I'll be able to do it this weekend but I'm afraid both wells will be dry by then. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
