2009 will be a big year for Activision's Guitar Hero franchise, as the publisher is set to spin the franchise off into a pair of new titles bearing the Hero moniker. Later this month, it will release DJ Hero, a game that takes the familiar note-matching formula and adapts it for the hip hop and electronic scenes by way of a brand-new turntable controller. It'll quickly follow that up with Band Hero, a game that sticks far more closely to the Guitar Hero experience, but with an aesthetic and tracklist skewed toward a younger audience.
Tuesday Morning stores are now carrying the Band Hero big bundles, which include the game, guitar, mic and drum kit, for $29.99. Considering they were $159.99 four years ago, I'd say it's an interesting deal.

They seemed pretty jolly & proud in the behind the scenes videos. It's pathetic how this is the ONLY band to sue over this,,,,, Ozzy, Aerosmith, Metallica, Lemmy, Slash, Van Halen, Nirvana all seem perfectly contempt. I would sue too :/ I mean if i was them then there's No doubt i'd have like no money either (pun intended).
