Get Rocksmith 2014 PC version for $25

Normally Rocksmith 2014 is $60 for the PC version on Steam:

Or $50 on Amazon:

That's without the cable for connecting your guitar to your PC, or other device, of course. The game plus cable version on Amazon is $70. I waited and got the cable for $20 a while back and now just took advantage of the sale on Mac Game Store.

Here's the thing. You buy the deal on Mac Game Store for $24 and you get a Steam Key that you can use to activate the PC version on your Steam account. Even if you have to pay full price at $25-$30 for the PC -> Guitar cable you need, you're still saving $20:

I don't have any experience playing this, but apparently if you use it right its supposed to be a great practice tool, not just something for beginners. Much more fun than the other guitar style games that used to be popular with the arcade plastic guitar things...

If some of you guitar players have time, watch this video and let me know what you think. Dude's a dork, but this demo of the game seems to show that you can do a lot of cool stuff with a real guitar.

Watch from like 1 min to 5 min. Don't bother going past that.
