Mark, an employee at his local EB Games, sent us a tip that the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II is now available to preorder at their stores. He also mentioned that the full price of the game, including guitar, will be $89.99. Currently, there is no page up on either Gamestop.com or EBgames.com to preorder the bundle, so we can't actually confirm the price. If anyone is heading to Gamestop or EB Games in the near future please ask about Guitar Hero II and how much you can preorder it for. We're an army, a fanboy army, who hungers for knowledge![Thanks, Mark Z.]

I don't know...The PS2 version was $80. Even though it has a few extra songs, I'm not so sure that his is a good deal. The extra 10 bones seems like it's being milked.

And the 10 dollar difference on new 360 games and new PS2 games?

360 games are almost always $10 more than the stuff that's on the PS2 and the rest of the other consoles. So if the Guitar Hero 2 bundle (game and guitar) is $80 for the PS2, I guess it's normal that it will be $90 for the 360.
This is just like Madden costs $50 on those consoles and on the 360 and PS3 it costs $60. At least with GH2 we will actually be getting more content (yay!), as opposed to how the next gen versions of Madden have less content(boo!)

I talked to the guys at my local GameCrazy and, apparently, they're saying the price is $79.99 or $69.99, I don't remember which exactly.

okay, I work at a gamestop. I do know we are taking reserves, but I haven't taken a look at the price. I'm working tomorrow morning, so I'll take a look and get a price quote. I'll even try to take pictures!

Hm. Ouch.
It's an awesome game, but that's quite a bite.
I'll have to think about it, now.

I was thinking that it was going to be $100. I'm glad to see that the unconfirmed price is only $90.

I stopped by Thursday after work to reserve this game and it wasn't in the system. Guess I'll have to stop by again later today.

Would a PS2 to 360 controller converter work for the GH controller? I have 1 guitar for PS2 and would much rather use that than buy another separate controller.

well the Internet price is bound to be slightly cheaper...
I'd say it'll cost £45-£50 from the internet in the UK, if it's going to be $90 in America.

No. Red Octane was quite explicit about that: no adapters.

My local EB games (now a subsidiary of GameStop), can take as much money as you want to put down on a game, at ANY time and count it towards the final purchase price. So if I want to do $10 a week until it comes out, I can. And that CERTAINLY makes things a whole lot easier.
It's also what I'm doing for the Legendary edition of Halo 3. I've already almost got that one nipped in the bud and paid for.

Jared- What you should be doing is putting the minimum amount down to guarantee the copy, but then put the rest in savings (or money market/ CD/invest). At least YOU will be earning the interest and not a mega rich corporation.
Cheers!
