They sole reason they bought it because it makes them look much, much cooler.
That and for additional cost you can turn it into a kit that works outside of RB. You can't really do that with the Logitech guitar without ruining it for GH.

True but for that level of function the guitar would cost much, much more.

Still say the "purpose" of the ION kit is the same as this Logitech guitar.

Purpose being to show off your inner rockstar awesomeness.

Didn't see this posted, some cool launch stuff:

http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/...-hero-wor.html

With less than a week to go before Guitar Hero: World Tour hits stores, the rhythm game giant is preparing for a major blowout to celebrate its launch. Much like the party for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, World Tour will also kick off at a Los Angeles Best Buy. Last time around, Poison entertained gamers and celebrity fans on the retailer's rooftop, but with the popularity of music games reaching new heights over the past year, an upgrade was most certainly in order. So on Oct. 25, the Hollywood store will host Smashing Pumpkins, who are expected to play an hour-long set in between turns by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the official Guitar Hero band. Capping off the festivities? The first Guitar Hero: World Tour sale at midnight to one lucky party-goer.

My top 3:

Tool - Parabola
CCR - Up Around The Bend
311 - Beautiful Disaster

So who's buying full kit, guitar bundle or game only? I want going to go with full kit but since money is tight, I'll live with my rock band drums and am just going for guitar bundle at present...

I am in the minority, but I can't wait to run through the setlist. I counted 27 unique songs that I am itching to play.

I am still going with the full bundle to take one final stab at enjoying the drums.

Game only for me. There's a Best Buy me doing a midnight opening, so I think I'll head over there.

Most excited for:

- Sweet Home Alabama
- Beat It

Full kit for me - I won it in a contest so I have no idea when I'm getting it. The first thing I'm going to do is go right into the music creator and re-create Canon in D as played by JerryC on youtube.

Will do - I've known the tab for a while, and have always envisioned the chart being a blast to play. It's been #1 on my wishlist since I picked up GHII. And since it's public domain I don't think it's an issue.

I'm sure I won't be the first to do it, but I'm really going to make it as faithful as I can to the guitar tab.

I'm extremely excited to play through this. So long as I can somehow skip the Tool songs (I simply cannot stand them), I'll be a happy camper.

One of the guys here already mentioned that you can complete the career without playing a single Tool song as they have their own venue, etc.

Be sure and give us warning a few hours before hand and then let us know the second it's posted, that way we can download it before it gets deleted

BTW, When you mentioned this song earlier I watched it and totally dug it.

...



(They're the main reason I'm willing to give GH4 a shot, though I would have preferred different, older songs).

You would think it would be public domain now and thus no worries about copyright infringement though?

Holy crap! 1:57 to 2:37 looks so insanely difficult. That's probably the most difficult section I've ever seen simply because it goes on for so long.

Isn't that one of the sections where you use the new slide bar thing?
