GHTV is a better system for the casual player - £40 for the game, two controllers, and a catalogue of 500+ songs. Sure, you can't freely choose every track you want to play, but under the old (or current Rock Band) system a catalogue this big would have cost a small fortune. If you're not the type to keep buying extra tracks, GHTV will keep things fresh for no extra outlay.

On the flipside, if you've already amassed a huge catalogue of songs and are willing to invest to expand it further, the new Rock Band is probably the better purchase.

Not complicated, really.

in store price anyone?

£36.99 in argos! And £39.99 is the retail price for this everywhere. I suspect there's going to be chargeable updates due that you're gonna want to buy as they seem to be giving away double the usual for half the usual price of old model!!

This is £35 through Flubit just got it.

yep mine too, arriving Monday :smiley:

mine has been shipped :-)

I just got a mail stating my GAME order is being packed...! Maybe the pre-release date was wrong?

Avoid GAME at all costs. They DO NOT honour warranties on any Microsoft/accessory products anymore. You have to go directly through Microsoft which takes a lot of time and effort.

I thought the guitar was quality, more realism and enjoying various songs, although not played it that much yet thanks to deals every week on different games....

Hot, ordered from Amazon.
Thanks

Also on amazon for 39.99

Page not found error on both links and when clicking through from the website's internal search engine...

Decided to buy this, then... "You cannot use GAME Wallet because there are pre-orders in your basket."

What kind of stupid policy is that? Think I'll drop them an email to find out when it's coming back in stock.

Cool, has it always been like that? I have the game but couldn't work out how to that yet.

Can you play 2 player on a split screen?

Sounds like you need a game to chill to :wink: Those are all quite fast paced - twitch reaction shooters.

Guitar hero can be the finger mashing hell you want to beat or the soothing playalong you need depending on the level of ability / difficulty you choose.

Ive barely touched it , this reminds me I need to get back on the guitar hero band wagon

Thanks for that, now I just have to convince myself it would actually get played with Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2 and Infinite Warfare / Modern Warfare remastered in my queue!

6 buttons - 2 rows of 3 buttons instead of 5 single buttons in a row. makes for harder shapes to make with the "fret" hand and I found it more challenging than the older versions as a result. I play on medium to chill and Hard to challenge myself (I played all previous games).

The playlist is like a music channel on live which changes the playlist every hour from say, pop to rock, rock to metal, and so on, there are two free channels you can play on so you have choices.

If you want to play your own choice of songs, you play the single player or you spend the credits you earn just by playing online to play your chosen songs.

I never spent anything on it and didn't feel the need to play the same songs over and over as I was happy with the choices given.

Having said that I just sold my version I got for xmas last year as I had my progress wiped out by a corrupted save and couldn't face starting all over again.

I think it's a great game - so long as you don't feel the need to choose you own songs on repeat and occasionally play your own choice from regular playthrough earnings you should never need the extra credits.

Was going to buy the standard for 30 on Smyths, no delivery option, 40 for the supreme edition with 2 guitars is an absolute steal! Heat

Bit miffed that I have to wait til December though, Amazon have it now!

I thought when i picked it up for £50 for a single pack many months ago it was a good deal :laughing: Great little party game or something to just chill out with

Still haven't picked this up, held off for so long, perhaps now is the time!

I would, but even though it's a good deal I'd only play it once. Then put it with the rest of the controllers, guitars etc and just no.

so you can't actually select whatever song you want whenever you want, waste of time

Getting payment not successful whether logged in or guest...

Hmm, sorted now but took ages.

nothing in store. they can't even order it in from warehouse.

I'm confused that it's showing as pre order given that it's in stock at all other retailers.

my local smyths still have the single guitars at 19.99 which I have 2 stored away for Xmas. But if there is extra content with this, I'll take the other 2 singles back if this arrives

great price and ordered anyway. hot.

I'm tempted as it's been a long time since I've played Rock band/Guitar hero..
Apart from slightly shinier graphics, what does this offer that the last gen versions didn't do?

The way it works is actually pretty good. You get some free play tokens per day which you can use from the full songlist. Run out of tokens and its then like a radio playlist. I never feel the need to buy any additional stuff. The music videos in the background is much better over rockbands style too. Recommended.

Hmmm I don't like the look of their 'purchasing' system!

Activision support page

In the U.S. they'll be getting '$9.99 Hero Cash' with the bundle. Ours sounds along the same lines.

​It was actually on the Smyths listing as I was trying to find that out, forgot to link it.

here

More to the point, why are Game saying it's being released in 53 days and it's available immediately at Amazon.

It's also £57.99 at Amazon if you have Prime at the moment

Where did you find that info?
I can't see it detailed anywhere!
Good deal if that's the case :smiley:

What's the extra content?

Bargain

Good deal. Maybe add Ps4 available as well?

Both these have fallen from £59.99 on Game. Best I've seen elsewhere is £51.99 @ Argos.

Currently £59.99 at Amazon
