Free headphones with Guitar Hero On Tour at Gamestop

Headphones are an absolute must for handheld music games, unless you're a) alone or b) a jerk. You're almost required to have the sound on, unlike other portable games, and it would be quite rude to subject the other bus passengers (or other neighbors) to your racket. Guitar Hero: On Tour also puts your neighbors in danger of a serious jostling should your fake solos get too energetic, but there's not really an accessory that could help with that, aside from elbow pads.

GameStop has taken the extremely sensible step of bundling a pair of On Tour-branded headphones with copies of the game. If you're going to be buying the thing anyway, might as well get extra free stuff with it!

In other On Tour accessories news, the "Ruby Red" accessory pack is now pictured on GameStop's website.

They look uncomfortable, but it's free, so whatever.

Wow, in case you already aren't getting enough condescending looks from fellow passengers as you earnestly jam away on your DS with kiddie guitar accessory on the subway, you can also wear headphones branded with the game's name so everyone knows that you got them from the bottom of the game's packaging like a crackerjack prize.

Now, don't get me wrong, I will indeed purchase this game with giddy excitement on day one... but I shall have the decency to play it alone in my room with the door shut, like a proper nerd who enjoys his handheld gaming a bit too much.
