Guitar hero WT in Argos

    Can anyone tell me if the guitar comes with this offer or is only the game as it is expensive for just the game if so.

    And a few questions, do the rock band drums work with guitar hero world tour on the xbox 360 and is the game actually worth getting?
    How much is the game and guitar combo in gamestop also? Thanks.

    And just thought of this now, can you use the new guitar hero world tour guitar for 360 for rock band 1 on 360 guitar modes?

    That's just the game.

    I would imagine you can use the guitar with RB, you can with any previous GH guitars.

    I don't have answers to the other two questions.

    Guitar Hero game & guitar is 90 in Gamestop, best price i've seen for it!

    That is really expensive in Argos for just the game, no mention of guitar though so it must just be the game solus. Bit of a rip really...

    You can get it for just over 60 euro on hmv.com if online is an option thanks to the legendary sterling conversion rate :D

    Thanks I might go for that, do HMV ship to ireland, and if so would the ship a parcel as big as that, and whats the price for postage? How long does postage to ireland normally take from hmv.co.uk also?

    Hmm... i used to be GH crazy and then i got RB2 after about 2 weeks of getting the GH band pack because i completed GH. But RB is better gameplay.

    In a nut shell:
    GH is a great game for customization in the instruments, characters, songs etc etc.
    But RB is much better gameplay.
    IMO

    Yep, but the new sensitive slidey buttons dont do anything.

    Might be worth the cost to just get it for about 80/90 euro in hmv or gamestop

    HMV do ship to Ireland yeah. Postage is £2.50 and its shipped within 48 hours. That comes to £62 which is around €64, significantly cheaper than you'll find anywhere else.

    Well, in gamestop in kilkenny they sell them preowned but not as bundles, you have to buy the preowned guitar and prewoned game seperatly, and the guitar from GH3 is 60€ preowned in kilkenny.:eek:
