The company just announced the scheme, but don't get too excited, because there are a couple of disclaimers to this. One: as far as we can tell, this is currently a UK-only offer (one that includes all online and high street retailers). Two: you do have to buy the full band set, which is currently going for around £150 at most online stores; still, this does allow you to have a bass player in your band from the get-go. Here, Activision, have some props from us.

That's probably the only thing that would make me pre-order for sure.

I already have it preordered from gamestop...sadly, I have a strong feeling that we are not going to get the same love as our UK friends :(

Yeah, that makes me not want to pre-order. I already have two guitar hero 3 guitars.
The last thing in the world that I need is 4 plastic guitars.

Does anyone know if the drumkit is gonna require a wiimote as well? I've only got 2, so if the drums need one too, I might have to avoid the game altogether (there's no way I'm adding $40 to the cost of this game just so I can play drums).

Yes, it does. A 4-man band requires 3 Wiimotes

I think the singer has to have a wiimote too, for choosing characters and stuff.

You dont want to get this because you dont want another wiimote? Come on, this is the perfect excuse to get one!

It's not that I don't want another wiimote, but I have no use for more than 2. Whenever I've had more than two people over playing it, someone is able to provide another two remotes, so a third remote would really just be adding $40 to the price of the game, which I really can't justify for a game that's already gonna cost $150+.

I already have two GH3 Wii guitars...but I may be interested in preordering this if they do the same thing for the US. Otherwise, I was just planning on getting a mic, drum kit, and the game. But if the new guitars are much better...

I'm interested in this, but I really only want to use my Guitar? I wonder if it offers a solo guitar or "classic" mode where you don't need to use the other instruments?
