Target’s PS2 Guitar Hero 3 bundle

Good news for PS2-playing Guitar Hero fans – Target, Activision, and RedOctane have teamed up to create an exclusive bundle for the PS2 version of Guitar Hero 3. Available only at Target, the bundle includes a copy of GH3, two specially designed guitar controllers, and a “customization kit” with stickers and guitar straps. The package will be released on the game’s official launch day (October 28, 2007), and will retail for $109.99.

Still not sold on the merits of Guitar Hero 3? Check out some details from the press release:

“Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will include explosive new content and features including a multiplayer action-inspired battle mode, grueling boss battles, a host of exclusive unlockable content and visually stunning rock venues. The third installment of the franchise is the biggest yet, including songs from such artists as Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, The Killers, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, The Who and KISS.”

So why is the bundle only available for the PS2? After all, the title is also going to hit the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. Some have speculated it has to do with the fact that the PS2 version won’t be sold online like the others.

It’s going to be fun to see who wins the virtual battle of the bands this holiday season: GH 3 or Rock Band. Both titles are shaping up quite nicely, so it’s safe to assume that whichever title you pick, you’ll be able to rock out admirably this fall.
