The folks from Activision sent word on a special pre-order promotion going on with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith features songs spanning their long chart-topping career as well as hits from their favorite groups like The Clash, Cheap Trick, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and more. Pre-ordering will give you access to a special bundle which includes guitar, the exclusive Aerosmith faceplate, an Aerosmith tour book and of course, the game. (and don’t have a panic, the Guitar Hero III axe still works with GH: Aerosmith so you can simply buy the game alone)
Pricing is as follows:
$99 for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, $89 for PlayStation 2 wireless and $109 for the two-guitar (wired) PlayStation 2 bundle which includes both a black and silver guitar. I’m not sure if the pricing or bundle will change if you don’t pre-order. I’ll see if I can find out those details. That faceplate is rather sexy but I think I’m good without it.
[Update] I confirmed with the folks behind the news and the Aerosmith faceplate will not be sold separately. The only way to get it, is to pre-order. And the pricing is also only a pre-order bundle deal.
LOL

I hope this wirless guitar works with the xbx batery pack b/c double A (AA) batteries suck.
Also - will this guitar work with Rock Band? B/c the GH3 guitar wont work on Rock BAnd.

hartman, the guitar is the same exact one as the GH3 controller, only it comes with an Aerosmith faceplate, and yes the GH3 controller works with rock band. that is why they only put 1 rock band guitar with the bundle because they expect most of us to have the GH3 guitar. if it doesnt work, somethin is wrong with it.

[...] This Way”. The game is set to release this month complete with Aerosmith tunes and an Aerosmith themed faceplate. That faceplate does look sexy if I do say so [...]
