    I talked to the lady and best buy about my pre-order and she said that it doesn't actually guarantee I will get the game when it comes out (they already have it in stock)

    I am not so sure she knows what a pre-order means to normal people

    also, dragonforce is awful.

    As far as I know, they're only popular because, though they are very talented, their music is a fucking joke.

    Yeah I thought they were a halfway joke band.

    Or wholeway.

    They are a joke band, and they fully embrace it.

    They each have seperate, more serious bands, and Dragonforce is their 'let off some steam' venue.

    what bands are those? dragonforce has been on tour for over a year.

    Demoniac is one of them, and I can't recall the name of the other. It was two bands that came together, much the same way as Velvet Revolver or Audioslave did, but on a more 'underground' level.

    Pre-Order, to Best Buy, means that they got you to pay them $5 for a $5 off coupon for one certain game and sometimes a little bonus.

    You guys in Australia have it easy. Us europeans have to wait until Nov. 23rd before we can play.

    We have to sit here and read about how the game is awesome for a month while you all play it. Makes me want to punch someone :(

    they've gone on record saying that they wont.

    essentially the order of value goes:

    360 > wii > ps3 > ps2

    though the wii does have some interesting controller functionality that helps compensate for the loss of DLC (but not by much). the reason I put it above the ps3 is because it has better online support, at least at the moment.

    Played the demo, it's interesting. I don't have much practice invested in the GH games. I can 5 star all but a few songs on medium in GH2 but on Hard I'm pretty inconsistent and on Expert I'm just barely hanging in there on the low tier songs. On medium GH3 scrolls slightly faster than GH2. I like that, definitely. hopos and timing seem to be about the same as GH2, maybe slightly easier.

    The models and animations are terrible. I played GH2 and I found those animations looked a lot more convincing to me despite being less detailed. The male singer in GH3 is fucking frightening. The female singer looks ok, which makes sense because it appears to be the exact same model that was used in GH2.

    That really blows, but I think I'll get it for the wii anyway as my only other choice is the PS2. The only plus for the PS2 for me would be if I can use my old guitar controllers with it. I don't really plan on playing online anyway, but only having one guitar controller doesn't bother as me and my friends mostly like to try to beat each others scores rather then play versus.

    i think DLC will eventually become a reality for the wii (though probably not for GHIII, maybe GHIV) so it's not necessarily a bad investment.

    Is there any fundamental differences between the GH3 guitar and the GH2 one? Talking about 360 of course.

    The reason being, I'm thinking of buying GH3 but I don't want to buy ANOTHER guitar and have 3 sitting around.. actually, can I buy just the game and save buying a new guitar all together? The GH2 seems to perform fine on the GH3 demo too but I'm wandering if there's some archaic limitation in GH3 to make you spend more money.

    Also, is there a worthwhile reason to pre-order aside from having a copy aside, like do you get anything special?

    The GH3 guitar is not filled up with dirty dirty wires. Looks better and is collapseable and has removable faceplates if you are so inclined.

    Collapsible? I'm intrigued as I recently went on a ~2 week trip to Sydney and I bubbled wrapped my 2 guitars and put them in my suitcase.

    All went well but them being collapsible would've been neat.. but than again, it's not like I travel with the 2 guitars often.

    so looks like the best way to go for someone who hasn't played GH is to get GH3 with the guitar and then Gh2 without, cause that wireless looks sweet.

    It does, there is keep in mind the strat for rock band as well.

    I personally however have a big worry sign over the strat since while harmonix may have the technology for the guitar down pat, I am worried about the build quality that the guitar will come in. I am not saying it's bad, but there is a definite possibility for it to go either way.

    Man, I don't think the Guitar Hero guitars have exactly screamed quality in the past. Mine is a piece of shit.

    I think that whoever is producing the Rock Band guitar would have to be trying pretty hard to out-shit my SG.

    My first SG was perfectly fine. GH2 SG...the tilt sensor was a bit too sensitive.

    The Xplorer? Bah. Tilt sensor is useless. Though, that seems to be mostly GH2...

    Hey Zephos that's some pretty shweet lookin' guitar you've made yourself. What did you use in customizing your controller? Like, what kind of paint and what type of materials did you use for the graphics. 'Cause as awesome as that looks, it's gotten me thinkin' that I'd like to do something like that myself.

    for the paint i used Model Master brand spray enamel paint... i don't even know if they make it anymore though, my buddy has like 1000 dollars worth of it he got for free. This stuff worked wonders though, i didn't even have to sand the guitar like some guides suggest.

    to be honest, yeah it looks good, but its not the greatest job in that i didnt clear coat it or anything.

    which brings me to the graphics....

    i'm ashamed to admit this hah, for now they are just pictures rubber cemented on there. The pin-up i cut out of a calendar, and the Hellfish from an old simpsons book i had and rubber cemented them on there.

    one point of advice i'll offer is this, if you paint the buttons and the neck, BE CAREFUL, my buddy did and wound up having a very very very sticky yellow button.

    and for shits and giggles, the original guitar we customized, we just used krylon fusion paint.

    for the boba fett skull we printed out the image, and cut the image into tape on a mirror, then transfered the tape from the mirror to the guitar and sprayed.
