Last night David and I went out and splurged on our Christmas present to each other... despite the fact we both agreed we didn't need it and shouldn't be spending so much money. We went halves on a Wii console and the Guitar Hero: World Tour Band Kit plus we got Wii Play and another game (well, I say we went halves even though I don't have the money right now, I'm supposed to pay David back... Ha!)
We went into Harvey Norman in town, waited forever to get served and then tried to wheel and deal. I think we got a good deal by getting a bundle with a game and then getting them to price match the best sale prices on Guitar Hero and Wii Play.
Harvey Norman has a Bundle with the Wii Console plus The Guitar Hero Band Kit for just under $700 (we got Wii Play and the extra Game in our deal for just a bit more), however you need a Wii Remote for each instrument, so some poor kid and his siblings (or a set of triplets) are going to wake up Christmas morning, find this under the tree and then get real disappointed when they can't all play in a band together. :'(
Oh... Guitar Hero: World Tour kinda sucks... it has the most boring whiny songs in it. We started on easy to get used to the Drum Kit and it was really veggie: hit any note. Then we went up to the easy setting and all of a sudden I feel like the Drummer from Def Leppard must have felt after the accident! There are freaking notes everywhere! I hope that gets easier as I get used to it.
We were up till 2am playing and I woke up at 8am this morning and am only writing this now because the Wii is doing a system update.
*is gonna be a hermit for the foreseeable future*
