The weekly Activison press releases concerning new downloadable content for Guitar Hero World Tour have always confused Wii owners with platform DLC availability. Track packs consisting of 2-3 songs are available on both the 360 and PS3 platforms, but strangely not on the Wii. Wii World Tour music buyers must purchase singles without the convenient (and sometimes cheaper) solution. Nintendo World Report recently received some feed back on the matter…

Activision was kind enough to send the “complete band version” of Guitar Hero World Tour to Infendo HQ yesterday. For any who still don’t own the game, here’s what physical goods you can expect for $190 plus tax. Quick impressions after the break. Full review pending. (more…)

It’s been a while, but we finally have a new title worth adopting into our traditional Infendo Wifi Night! Those with Guitar Hero World Tour should join us this Thursday night at 9PM Eastern Time. Almost the entire Infendo staff has a copy so hop in. Those without the game, or those who simply don’t feel like playing GH:WT can of course play some Brawl, Mario Kart, Medal of Honor, etc…

Exchange your friend codes through the comments, forums, and Infendo IRC. Don’t be late!

Many reports of buggy Guitar Hero World Tour equipment have been sighted around the net. Unresponsive drum pads, broken buttons, and dead foot peddles haunt a small percentage of retail boxes. Infendo has received a response from Activision Customer Support on what you should do if you’re instruments have malfunctioned…

The best course of action if someone is seeing something working incorrectly with their drums is to contact our support department. We’ll troubleshoot the issue with them and advise them what to do from that point forward. We do not recommend people seek a replacement through their retailer.

Not earth shattering, but it’s good to know the publisher has taken notice of the situation. Note: These small issues have been reported across all platforms, not just the Wii version.

Have you had any trouble?
