They're not going to shut down the servers; this game is huge and the thought of shutting it down is outragious.

The one thing I find interesting is that I didn't know they were discontinuing the $60 with headset version of the game. I heard they were introducing the $40 version without the headset in stores, but I was under the impression that they were just going to have 2 versions available to buy. So, is it really true that the $60 version with bluetooth is really gone?

I guess I'm glad I got mine already than.

I was just going to post what Sage put up. Personally, I'm getting Rock Band because I just think it will be more fun, overall. But, it depends on your style. My friends are really into playing all of the difficult metal songs on 2 and getting amazing scores and stuff so they're more excited about GH:III. I, on the other hand, am not as good. I mean, I can play all of the main songs on expert and pass them, get 5 stars on quite a few and all, but I'm not as obsessed over getting amazing scores as them, so I just think Rock Band fit me better. As far as the thing about the pricing I read it right here on the site...

So, I'm not sure about the Gamestop thing. They could have just given you their information on pricing based on pre-conceived, rumored pricing and the store worker was just mis-informed that they were set, official prices.

I'm sure Guitar Hero III will be fun, but I just have a feeling that Rock Band fits my tastes better.
