I'll be in for both as long as I can find another item to get up to the free shipping level. Reviews are pretty decent on both.

I played the Warhawk demo and its cool...only thing to be aware of is it looks like upon purchase you really need to go on the PSN network and buy the update packs for around $17 to have the additional maps and gear.

$60 for the 360 or PS3 GH:WT guitar bundle.
Got mine the other day, thanks for posting this. It's a great guitar. My first wireless one since the one I had for the PS2. Just don't try walking through a doorway when "wearing" the guitar. Woops!

I ordered/received the GH:WT bundle as well. I'm less than impressed with the new guitar. The build quality is amazing but my strum is squeaky. Annoyingly so. I can't even bring myself to use it it's so grating.

I got my first Strat back in October and I've gotten so used to it that anything else feels weird now as well.

I think the squeaking goes away once you use it for a while.

I imagine the situation might be that most people who play online have the extra maps. So if you don't have them there may be limited games to join, and it is an online only game.

Anyone with the game verify this? I'm out if it will truly cost more than $10.

If you want to play in random games, then yes, you'd probably need to get the maps.
Though I haven't tested if yuo can exclude maps from your search for games.

However, if you have friends that get the game as well, you can set up a game for your friends and play with just the stock maps, thereby not needing to spend more then $10 unless you want to.

It is a fun game, in limited doses.

This brings my PS3 games to... 5 (including the one it came with).
I'll have to add you for the PS3. Post your PSN ID! We should resurrect the Warhawk thread to get a game going. I'm pretty damn awful.

The other interesting part is that if you don't mind playing CTF w/ the default map you don't have to buy anything. Just d/l the demo and there always seems to be a game going on.

Darn it, while trying to find a $5 filler to get free shipping, Ridge Racer 7 went out of stock.

Edit to add: both sold out (at that price) now.

No, it doesn't. My guitar that came in the full band bundle didn't squeak. Once I took that back and exchanged for guitar + game I ended up with a squeaky one. It's had steady use since launch and still squeaks the same.

Awesome PS3 bundle right now.

PS3, Dark Knight blu-ray, Resistance 2 CE for $400

Almost tempted to return my Costco PS3 and buy this, saving almost $200.
