I don't get it. Can someone explain to me the issue here? Guitar Hero and Rock Band are expensive games. We've known that for years. What gave you all the impression this was going to be any different? I'm psyched for this. It seems highly original.

I spent $110 dollars total for (all brand new, nothing used):

Guitar Hero 3 bundled with the wireless guitar controller

and

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith bundled with the wireless Aerosmith guitar controller

So you will have to forgive me if I think that it is silly for only one game and one accessory to cost more than all of that combined.  Also, based on the stand alone pricing I've seen for these accessories, I decided that the games alone are only worth about $20.

I don't understand your point. You obviously didn't buy them day one at that price, since their original retail were $90 each, so if you're more of a budget gamer, then just wait until DJ Hero hits a price you're more comfortable with. Simple as that. I just bought GHIII two months ago and I spent $10 on it, but that's just the way I roll. I'm not going to expect one of those games to be in that price range the moment it releases. My point was I don't see what the big deal is with this particular game since it's in the same price range every other peripheral based rhythm game is.

I bought Guitar Hero 3 within the first month it was out, brand new at Best Buy for $70.  I don't think it was ever $90.  I bought the Aeromith version within six months of its release, brand new, at Circuit City for $40.  I don't think that was ever $90 either.
