For those that have been waiting the extra Wii guitar controllers have finally hit the market, in Canada anyway.
I was at Wal-Mart last night and the dude was cracking the first box they just got in.

They are $58.99 Canadian..not bad for the official guitar.

Thanks for the info. There's nothing on Walmart's online site, yet.

I'm thinking maybe Canada is getting these first? not seeing any with this box on eBay.
Just loose ones or original sets that people have taken the game out of.

I'm sure they will be everywhere soon enough though.

Pic for ya..

So even the guitar without a game is $60?  Geez.

Well it was rumored to be in the $80 range.

It's $40 less that the $100 game/guitar bundle up here. Fair price I think.

BTW I don't own the game I bought this for a friend. I'm still rockin' on my PS2. :)

I just bought a refurb bundle for $75 shipped.  It can be had way less than $100.

*sigh* as I said the bundle is $100 NEW up here. I'm not going to debate refurb VS new, personally I won't touch that stuff.

This thread is for people wanting a NEW stand-alone guitar for their Wii.

If it also helps, it is regularly advertised down here in the Sunday flyers for $90 or lower.  Can't say whether or not they actually have it in stock.

Sorry if you're not happy with people giving relevant info in your relevant info thread.

Thanks for the info.  My neighbor is probably getting tired of me borrowing his guitar when we have people over LOL.
