Guitar Hero III with guitar controller prices announced at Best Buy - Image 1Neversoft and Activision's Guitar Hero III for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 has already been priced at Best Buy for US$ 99 while the Wii version is going for US$ 89.99.


The game and controller offer quite a few innovations that fans of the series will enjoy. The packaged guitar controller, which was modeled after the Gibson Les Paul guitar, will have a removable faceplate which allows gamers to further customize it.

Everyone knows that the major selling point of the game are the songs. The game has quite a few notable hits such as Beastie Boys' Sabotage, The Red Hot Chili Pepper's Suck My Kiss, and even the Scorpions' Rock You Like a Hurricane.

If that's not enough incentive, it has been confirmed that legendary shredder Slash, of Velvet Revolver and Guns and Roses fame, will be an unlockable character.

If you plan on picking up Guitar Hero III this October 29, be sure to keep in mind the price of the game lest you find yourself short on cash when it comes out.

PS2 is 99 and Wii is 89? What kinda crap is this? The Wii version will be better and less money? Is there something I dont see?

I can't say for sure, but as I understand it:

1) All controllers are wireless

2) For the Wii version you plug the Wii remote into the guitar



--> They save the "wireless connection" part as they can use the Wii remotes wireless connection.

Is there any chance the guitars will be cross-compatible with Rock band. I know the GHII one will but it would be nice if I could have a wireless guitar that would work with both.

» Guitar alone?

Any word on how much an extra guitar will cost (without the game of course)?

has the pricing for just the game without the controller been released? I thought they said you could use the gh II controller for it. anything released yet?

I never really played this game but it does look like it has a certain charm to it, but man, the price on this game is just insane. I was complaining about the $60 price tag on the next gen games but this is a bit much even if you do get a guitar with it.



As far as the price of the game alone it'll probably be $60 just like the previous two titles were $50 without the guitar.
