There will be a DS Bundle for $179 on launch day at some retailers. It's a cool lookin' color scheme, but I could do without the GH logo on it.

Got it today at Target...pretty nice. At first I was using the stylus until I found out the "pick stylus' is inside the Guitar controller itself. Pretty damn fun!

I also picked mine up at TRU as part of their Buy 2 Get 1 Free...and got a steal...so to say. Also got CrossworDS and Phantom Hourglass.....but the lady accidently rang up CrossworDS twice, so in a sense I only paid $19.99 for Zelda, saving me $15!

So is this worth getting? I know a lot of people are saying that they wouldn't be seeing playing it, but it fun?

I beat most of the career yesterday at work out of boredom. Overall, it's a neat gimmick but hardly works perfectly. When utilizing the strap, it's really hard to hit the blue button properly with your pinky. Also, the red-blue chords are a pain in the ass not being able to just slide your hand down like on the guitars. Finally, the strumming ans star power activation work about 80% of the time if you're lucky. I did like a few of the song choices and found myself wanting them in Rock Band

I saw in one video a developer wrapping the strap around his thumb to give him more movement while maintaining stability.

Anyone else get a chance to try this yet? I can't bring myself to drop $50 on it, but it's on my birthday wish list due to the positive reviews. I'm a sucker for peripherals.

I bought it on Sunday. So far, I've played it for about four hours and have completed the career mode on easy and most of it on normal.

It took a while for me to get used to the way that the attachment works. At first, it really bothered my wrist, but I got used to it after a while. It is difficult to hit the blue button sometimes, but it's something that you'd get used to.

Overall, it's surprisingly fun. I didn't think it'd be as good as it is. It controls pretty well (apart from the one aforementioned problem,) and it feels really innovative. The pick stylus is really neat and adds to the gameplay experience. It's a lot of fun, but it's not perfect. The setlist could've been a lot better, but there are some decent songs.
