Target has the 2 Les Pauls w/ GHWT on clearance for $22.xx. YMMV. The one I went to only had 1 360 bundle and 1 PS3 bundle on the shelf.

Price is back up to $159.99. Deal is dead.

so much for this being a universal drop...damnit!

When I saw this thread again I thought to myself, maybe I should pick this up and sell my Wii version finally. Doh!

im so mad this deal was only temporary..100 dollars is still alot of money

I noticed that the PS3 & Xbox 360 Guitar Hero World Tour full band kits are now $100 ($99.99 for Cheapy...)

It's back on! I noticed this morning that Gamestop lowered their prices on drums to $49.99, like everywhere else. On a whim, I searched for the whole set, and they have Rock Band 2 Special Edition sets priced for $100! I returned my drums to Best Buy, and bought the whole set with a price match. I think this is the best deal going right now.

Yea. When I first saw this thread I went to TRU and got the same deal. HUGE waste of money! I wasted 6000+ points on a bunch of songs and ended up selling the whole thing on craigslist for $70 in perfect condtion. Huge waste of money to me: I only play the drums and would rather play other things then sitting playing songs all the time.

Huge waste of money!! I love music, but I just stay away from these games now, I don't even let myself get tempted. I want RB Beatles, but I know it's just a waste.

then don't buy/play them

does anyone think that these will be cheaper on black friday? i have RB2 but use the GH:WT controllers, and this is the cheapest way to get the RB2 controllers, which i would like to have.

Originally Posted by SMITTYBLAZE They won't be any more expensive on Black Friday I'll tell you that much.

thats probably true.

Hmmm I wanted the Ps3version bt they only have 360 version in stock... decisions decisions

i would go with the 360, if its anything like GH, i had nothing but trouble with the ps3 version, and you don't need a usb dongle for the 360.

You're one strange fellow - why would you spend points on songs instead of playing for a while first? You say you want something but then say it is a waste, so that to me would mean you don't really want it? Anyway, most everyone I know loves these games and for 99 it's about as good of a price as I think it will ever be. I could see it at around 80 if they are at a point where they want to get them all off of the shelves.

I've got the Wii version along with a lot of points. I'm struggling with whether or not it's worth selling the Wii version and getting the 360 version.

I saw the game for PS3 new for $20 today. Online still has it listed at $50 and the used price in store was $35, so YMMV.

In for 1! ugh, this plus BB's B2G1 starting tomorrow leaves my wallet very empty

It just really got old and I sold the game back to Gamestop and kept the drums. Then, I bought RB2 (game only) on release date. I loved the game and played it a lot, but soon enough it got old and I was sick of having to pull out the drums all the time with them in the way so much. So I eventually sold the game back. Last, being a huge music fan, I wanted to play a lot of the songs for download. So with it being $100 at TRU and I had a $20 gift card, so I went there and got it and sold my RB1 drums for $15. I really just wanted to play those new songs since I've played all the others before and so I spent a ton of points on the songs. After that I realized I wasted a ton of money spending $80 + a $20 gift card that I'd of rather used towards something more useful to me.'

Sorry to say, but it was only a huge waste of money only b/c you were pretty stupid. Why buy the special edition when you already had a drum set?

360 version is probably the best. Least compatibility issues between Rock Band and Guitar Hero games and instruments. And also, more custom instruments and other accessories (fog/lights) only for 360.

Wii and PS3 both have lots more stuff that won't work with other stuff. Makes me wish I hadn't got the Wii versions a lot of times.

@Nyxaz: Check out RawkSD. It made me like my wii version a little more. I still kind of want to switch to PS3, but I've already spent money on all those songs...

The only issue I know of is with RB1 drums and those are not in this set. A DLC share group is a much better trade off than fog machines and lights.
