We hate to use Gamestop as a source of information, but news is news.  The preorder page for the fourth Guitar Hero title, World Tour, is up.  Several interesting details are revealed.  First of all, the release date is listed as October 27th.  This might be accurate or it might be totally made up, knowing Gamestop's track record.  It sounds about right, though, given the history of the series.  The price is listed as $190, a full twenty bucks more than Rock Band's bundle.  I guess those cymbals cost a lot more to make?  Most interesting is a screenshot showing the game's "create a song" mode.  It looks to be pretty deep, maybe even too deep for the average user, or the above average user who is lazy (that would be us).  Still, the thought of playing the theme song from the old Transformers cartoon in Guitar Hero is very tempting.  (What?  I'm the only one to think of that?)
