Guitar Hero Standalone Controllers Hit This Week

Finally. Starting Sunday Guitar Hero World Tour players will be able to purchase individual guitar controllers and drum kit controllers in stores in North America.

While the quite lengthy press release goes into all kinds of details we already knew about the drum, the guitar and the songs you can use to play them with, it doesn’t actually list a price.

Fortunately GameStop, which has the correct date, does.

According to the online retailer the Wireless Drum kit will sell for US$100, while the guitar will sell for US$70.

Kotaku AU Note: We asked Activision if we’ll see these here. They said they currently have “no plans” to bring them out locally. For now, you’ll have to make do with grabbing a standalone Guitar Hero III guitar to complete your four-man band.
