If you want to spend way too much money on game instruments, but don’t want to buy the fancy Beatles: Rock Band box, Logitech has you covered. Following the launch of the Wireless Guitar Controller for PS3/PS2 and Xbox 360, Logitech is bringing the $199 peripheral to Wii in North America and Europe this October.
The controller, which was black in its PS3 incarnation and orange for 360, will have a white body (with room to attach a Wiimote), and the same “maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and metal frets” that help justify the price of the other versions.
Logitech is also introducing a Wii version of its $229 Wireless Drum Controller, which is designed to fold up easily, and features both drum pads and kick pedals that are improved over the basic Guitar Hero drums — which, at that price, they’d better be.

We’re guessing that of all the tiny plastic instruments you’ve collected in your den, drum sets are still the most uncommon. Therefore, you may be able to scrounge up a smidgen of enthusiasm for the image above, which depicts the drum peripheral that will come bundled with select versions of Guitar Hero 5 when the game launches this September.
This revelation brings up two interesting points — first, RedOctane is viciously taking the wind out of the sails of Logitech, who revealed its own cymbal-equipped drum peripheral yesterday at an unwelcoming price point of $229. Second, it looks like the leaked pictures and list of features we received earlier in the month were legit — and as you surely know, every time a leak is proven legitimate, an angel gets its wings.

Is the drum kit above (to the right) what Guitar Hero 5 will be shipping with when it hits this September? We’re not 100% sure, but a trusted source at our sister site Engadget sent in the blurry shot, leading us to believe it could very well be.
The new set bears a strong resemblance to that other full band music/rhythm game — hey, there’s even a lower bar support where the kick pedal could possibly hook on! Additionally, as Engadget rightly points out, the system controls have been moved in front of the pads. The back of the set allegedly features two kick pedal jacks and a “mysterious black mini jack” as well. We’ve asked for comment from Activision for confirmation of the set and have yet to hear back.

If you already have a Guitar Hero guitar sitting around (at this point, it’s statistically likely), RedOctane is offering an opportunity to finish your band kit and get a new(ish) game for a great price. The company’s website is selling a pack containing a copy of Guitar Hero: Smash Hits, along with a drum set and a microphone for $99.99, with free shipping. That’s the exact same price the company is charging for just a drum set!
This package is, inexplicably, only available for Xbox 360 and Wii, and is only available today, so you don’t have too much time to think about how weird it is to sell a Guitar Hero bundle with everything but the title instrument.
