If you love fake bass guitars, live in the UK and fancy pre-ordering the Guitar Hero World Tour "super bundle," then all your fantasies are about to come true. Activision is offering a free official bass peripheral for any bundle pre-orders made at any retailer.
Activision's UK and Ireland marketing boss David Tyler is calling the offer of a £50.00 bass "the biggest pre-order incentive the industry has ever seen." Guitar Hero fans can pre-order the item from a store or online, and Activision will make sure you get a shiny toy instrument. The super bundle is priced at £150.00 and comes complete with the game, a guitar, a microphone and a drum kit.
The pre-order gift is described as an official Guitar Hero 3 bass "for the PS3." This doesn't indicate whether the offer is open to bundles pre-ordered on other platforms, or if this is a PS3-exclusive offer, so we contacted Activision's UK PR department for this clarification:
Right, every pre-order on every platform (PS3, 360, Wii and PS2) will get a free bass. Which is a great deal.
So, any of you UK'ers going to be looking into this when the game is released?

I'm so sorely tempted by this now, so much for the drums and so much for the rest of the kit. Any ideas on what guitars are supported in which games for 360? Ie. can RB1 Guitars be used with GH:WT and can the GH:WT drums/guitars be used with RB1/2...
May hold off if they can as think 5 guitars already is enough...
:(
"in theory"
You mean you don't know?
Also, I wants free bass!
