The Guitar Hero game series for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 game consoles allows players to use a guitar-shaped controller to play along with famous rock songs in order to progress in the game.
Typical costs:
Guitar Hero I, game only (no guitar controller), is around $40 new from Amazon.
Guitar Hero II, game only (no guitar controller), is around $50 new from Amazon.
Bundles are available for both the game and a RedOctane Gibson SG guitar controller. $70 for Guitar Hero I plus a guitar controller. Guitar Hero II plus a guitar controller is around $80 from Game Express or GameStop.com.
What should be included:
With game only: Game disc and instruction book.
With bundle: game disc, instruction book, guitar controller, adjustable strap, and sticker sheet.
Additional costs:
$40, for a RedOctane Gibson SG guitar controller (if not purchased with a game).
I bought the original Guitar Hero for PS2 a few months after it first came out. I paid $80 for the original version. You can still get Guitar Hero 1 from Red Octane's site, but with Guitar Hero 2 out and Guitar Hero 3 (and Rock Band) on the way, why bother?
