So discuss away! I'm looking to pick up all of these (gonna try and hold out for a drum bundle on World Tour though.) That's right suckas, I'm buying On Tour! Remember this game also has wireless versus mode, and you can take it everywhere.
Also be sure to register at the official Guitar Hero Community to record and compare stats, and put the Guitar Hero application on your Facebook profile for all to see those stats.
Please note this thread is still very much under construction, I still have a lot of HTML, formatting, information, and media still to add. :)

the only one i'm interested in is the Aerosmith version, since they are my favorite band.

Really? Not even World Tour? WT is gonna be so jam-packed man. I'd be surprised if an Aero song or two wasn't in there, simply as a throwback to the retail version. GH like Mario Kart likes to recycle it's content a little bit.

ok does anyone know if guitar hero on tour will work on the phat DS

I currently have On Tour reserved, I will be picking up World Tour although I will probably just play Guitar only.

Still praying for a Beatles version though.

They gave us a Muse track pack... where is my H.I.M. track pack? :(

Yes, as Bozon demonstrates in this video.

RIP Guitar Hero :'(

RIP?

If you mean, "It's over for GH, nobody will buy all this:" Yes, they will. I will. Many people will.

If you mean, "GH has sold out, blah blah blah, it's not the same game anymore:" I like these new games. I really do. (well, I like the fact that they are making more) I have GH3 for Wii, I do not have the first 2. I NEED more songs. I'm bored with GH3, I really need more songs to keep things going. No, I haven't gold starred every song or even 5 starred most songs on expert, but I need different stuff to play.

This is a game that depends on new content, and something better than just a few DL tracks. New stuff every 6 months is great, in my opinion. I'd probably buy a new game every 3 months. Can't get enough...need more...I'm suffering from withdrawal. (finally sent in that disc to get it replaced)

I, for one, am extremely glad that this franchise is being whored out. Bring it on!

im mostly interested in GH4
