Amazon.com: 250$ = 187€
Amazon.co.uk: 150£ = 166€
I am quite happy to announce that shopping in Europe rocks !!!
I waited to see this on Amazon.co.uk and now i am eager to play GH World Tour using the Legend of Guitar controllers...
The only bad thing is the price... costs as much as the total Band Edition of GH World Tour

cancelled order from Amazon and bought on ebay, it is now dispatched and coming with DHL to Greece !!!!!!
"Unfortunately her inability to speak was due to the arrival of 'another guitar!!!!!' controller at the house. The excellent build quality, professional feel and overall satisfaction of the product did little to impress her.
I was delighted though, it looks, feels and plays fantastic. I've tried it with GHIII, GHWT RBACDC and RB1 on the PS3 and all were great. The controller feels faster, that is there is no perceivable delay from striking the note to it appearing on screen. I know that there is always audio/visual delay and that is why the games have calibration settings, but part of that equation has always featured controller delay as well and it just feels that this one is more responsive than the standard plastic ones bundled with the games.
The result with PS2 wasn't so great - I was expecting full compatibility with GH GHII GH80's and GHIII. But no, none of these games are supported, only the newest GHWT can use this controller on the PS2. This is probably because it is a USB dongle and only GHWT contains the drivers to use it. Since I don't own GHWT for PS2 I was unable to test it but it does say on the box it is supported.
But for the GH/RB fan who already has the games and has money burning a hole waiting for the next purchase, this is it! buy it now and never look back (but figure out first how your going to justify it to your wife - a bribe of flowers and shoes perhaps?).
In summary, it's bigger, heavier, plays better and ultimately brings you closer to the rock god experience that these games are all about.
For those about to rock........... "
such reviews give me a smile

"The The Logitech® Wireless Guitar Controller lets you unleash your inner rockstar. Its solid body, wood neck, metal frets and tuning peg handles, and rosewood fingerboard provide a realistic experience."
forget Amazon.co.uk if you are looking for that in Europe, i waited 2 months and they never were in stock.
Yesterday i canceled my Dec 02 order and ordered from a Liverpool ebay merchant ...
Ordered at 9am, they dispatched the order at 13:00 and i received it today at 13:00 via amazingly fast in Europe DHL
I might be offline for a couple of days, you understand me...\
First impression: this is quality. Not a single surface of plastic: metal, wood, wood metal
It is heavy. It is luxurious. It does catch the eye instantly due to amazingly nice looks and color finish.
Not even played with it yet, i am taking it slowly i want here to know me first

Extensive Review follows:
Logitech packing is amazing, 3 boxes one into another to provide extra safety from freight abuse :
Start
Second
Final
Noticed the glossy finish and metal parts before removing the final seal :
Outstanding line :
Outstanding, here along with GHWT new model for the PS3, Les Paul from GH III Legends Of Rock (PS3) and Kramer for PS2
