I know there is reasoning behind this, but it's still very annoying. I mean, if it did come with a controller, I would have bought it today - bottom line is that it has already cost them sales.
Unless it gets bundled with one soon, I'll just wait for GH3.

Don't know what it's like in other countries, but you can get a bundle pack here in Norway.

Darn. In Australia (and apparently Northern America as well), it's just the game.

Ship it with the same old one then, I just wanna be able to play it without forking out $150.

Mine came with a guitar ... it was 90$

i have a question ... can u play GH3 with GH 80's Guitar ??

^ Yes.
