Rocksmith Offering Guitar Savings Via Pre-Order

If you're a musician or an aspiring one, you probably don't have a lot of money. Ubisoft hopes to help those looking to buy Rocksmith with your situation.

If you pre-order the music simulation game at GameStop [full disclosure: Game Informer is owned by GameStop], you'll get a $25 coupon that you can take to Guitar Center and apply to a guitar purchase.

Rocksmith lets games plug in any guitar they own – you don't have to buy some custom-built one like for Rock Band 3's pro mode – and strum along to falling color blocks until mom says it's time for dinner.
